Texans better give Yates a shot at competing for the starting job or bring in someone who can or the fans are going to go nuts. No way anyone has confidence in Schaub now. I'd even suspect some players and coaches have lost confidence in him at this point. I'd rather see Yates screw up and have some hope of improvment than see Schaub screw up and regress. I swear you can see that guy crumbling when the pressure gets tight. You can see it in his face and body language.
I hope McNair and Smith have a long talk to Kubiak about his "hurry-up" offense. We've seen time and time again Kubiak has no clue when to run it and we're the only winning team in the league that can't execute it. What an embarassment.
This team needs a speed upgrade all over the place - offense and defense. Kubiak not only runs the offense at a snails pace, but there is no speed at the skill postitions. It's hard to get on Schaub for not hitting anyone deep when no one can get deep and also beat his man.
The defense wasn't much better than the offense. No way should they get a pass in this game. They really didn't stop anything and didn't force any turnovers. You're not going to win a playoff game like that. Their constant inability to get lined up against a known quick-pace team (the same one they just played a few weeks ago) is inexcusable. I'm totally disappointed in Wade in that regard.
No way do I pay Barwin, goodbye and good riddance James, hoping Keo and Harris follow you.
One fear I have is Manning's big night returning kicks may have saved Marciano. Amazing...
Unfortunately, and despite going 12-4, with Schaub at the helm and with this team's collapse, no one will take them seriously next year.
And, yes, thanks a bunch Arky!!
