[Houston Press] 2009 Season Record Predictions

[NBT]

It is now going into the 4th quarter of the Jets game at home, and we are blowing it bigtime 0 to 17. I am revising my bet to 8-8, and if Kubes doesn't wake up we will be lucky to go 6-10!!!

I'm not jumping overboard yet, but if they get worked next week in Tennessee and Kubiak "loses" the team at some later point, they could slide to 6-10. I'm still trying to maintain hope. The thing that concerns me is a lack of adjustment from Kubiak. Is the time of the smaller lineman zone blocking scheme over? This team is just not tough enough.

Jenkins made our interior linemen look like highschool kids. At some point, you gotta get bigger and tougher. These little quick linemen were chosen because they could get to the point of attack faster. However, as I replayed the game on DVR, not only was Jenkins overpowering them, he was getting off the line faster as well. And to make matters worse he always chose the correct gap to exploit (good coaching).

For the record: Myers was beaten like nail all day long. He should never hold his head up again until he puts somebody on their ass. Even if its a Defensive back. He has to get his marbles back.

I had them going 9-7 before they lost to the Jets. I am sticking to 9-7. Instead of having them lose against the Patriots Im changing it to a win. The Patriots will likely clinch a bye and home field advantage by then and give their starters limited play time.

I am usually a very realistic person. But I tried to be optimistic this year. I predicted 10-6. After this loss, and seeing how over matched Kubiak and co. were I am thinking more like 6-10.

There are only two people I blame this loss on.
1. Chris Myers
2. Kubiak (coaching staff)

We should have easily been 10-10 at the half and at the least 10-7 if we played to our potential and made the necessary adjustments to the blitz. Rex basically said I will blitz every play and dare you to stop it. And we didnt.

I'm thinking 15-1. INstead of having them lose any more games, I'm changing them to wins. Thought about changing their loss to the Jets to a win, but figured that would be pushing it.

Fire Kubiak.

Oakland Raiders defense is the real deal. Greg Ellis and Richard Seymour just made that defense go from good to possibly one of the league's best. Buffalo Bills were no joke either. Suddenly those 2 games in our schedule dont seem as winnable as I thought.
