You don't run the ball into the teeth of a nine man front and expect to do anything positive. Kubiak is either stupid or stubborn, probably both. Sage wouldn't have found himself in the position he was in if they'd ever gained any positive yardage on first or second down. Third and long and he tries to make a play. He f'ks up. But only after two insane play calls given the formation that the Colts were in.
Guess what, though? After the game Sage owned up to his mistakes. I have never once heard Kubiak admit any sort of mistake this year. Not once.
The Texans are going to get trounced by the Dolphins and will probably (probably!) beat the Lions. After that I don't see another likely win. No, I do not think this team can beat the Bengals.
Would a 2, 3, 4 win season be enough to run Kubiak out of town? I doubt it. McNair loves having a hometown fellow as the coach regardless of how terrible his performance.
