This is my biggest fear, that Kubiak will keep the gameplan conservative against the Falcons to "protect" his QB, to "boost" his confidence, or some other hokum soundbite he's already preparing for postgame. Kubiak was right to be conservative in the second half against the Jags. The results speak for themselves.
The Falcons though have at least as good an offense as the Texans have seen since mid-October, plus they ain't too shabby at run defense, too.
So please, Kubes, please let Yates run the show. Play like you have nothing to lose. This is a home game against a non-conference opponent anyway. Give the guys the ol' "it's us against the world" speech pregame. Then live and die with your defense and a QB who many, including yours truly, thought outplayed Leinart in August anyway.
