Take a shot or two trying to put the ball into the endzone before you take a big risk there.

And even THEN it'd still be f'n stupid. I'm sick of Chris Brown and his BS. He's cost us two games. Loser should have never been signed or retained to begin with.

I don't know the full story, but we left Jacoby because he was late to a meeting?

If so, that's some bullshit. I guess that missed meeting may have cost him his job. There were definitely some opportunities for punt returns.

Meh. That guy is just as likely to do something incredibly ridiculous as he is likely to do something positive.

It was one of the worst calls I have ever seen. And please, why don't we throw AJ a few freaking screens......I mean, really. The best player on our team. Please.

Mediocre teams always seem to find ways to lose games. That's the case with this Texans team.

Gadget plays are either used by a good offense and its playmakers to screw with a defensive coordinators head or are used by a bad offense to attempt to mask its inadequacies.

If I could pinpoint one reason, it would probably be because of the finesse scheme and personel on the offensive side of the ball.

I'm actually not sure what is worse, the play call or the fact that they obviously weren't prepared to run the play. If you are going to have a HB option play in your playbook, you damn well better have practiced it to the point where the back knows what to do if the play isn't there. Clearly, Chris Brown didn't. He should have eaten it and just taken the loss. Trying to throw the ball while being hit is inexcusable and I blame Kubiak for not coaching them up to know what to do if the play goes astray. Just the latest in a long list of indicators that Kubiak doesn't take care of the little things and doesn't have what it takes to prepare a team to play week in and week out.

I've said time and time again this staff runs the wackiest of plays when in the redzone it's mind-numbing. I've never seen anything like it in all the years I've been watching football. This was not only the wackiest of them all, it should be the one that gets Kubiak and his merry band of idiots a free ride out of town on the circus bus. Inexcusable.

To have Chris Brown getting most of the PT at this point in the season, Kubiak's career, and the Texas existence is mind-boggling . Kubiak's had 4 years to find a RB and has given us the likes of Samkon Gado, Ron Dayne, a crippled Ahman Green and now Chris Brown as starters. Moats fumbles once and goes into Kubiak's doghouse, while the dumb@ss lets Brown continue playing after blowing 2 games and doing virtually nothing to merit getting the amount of time and carries he gets. I don't get it and it's time for this staff to go away. Please, McNair, for my sanity - spare us!!!
