It is embarrassing to be a Texans fan.
I think I'm throwing in the towel on this season. We have been scouted and the book is out on how to shut this offense down...and there seems to be nothing we can do about it. Now the injury bug is running rampant... My optimistic outlook is that by week 17 Brock will have developed into a solid QB Obrien will come up with a plan to beat press coverage with a 2 deep shell. Nick Martin will come back with a vengeance We will draft a stud at tackle Fuller and Braxton Miller will become better route runners by next year JJ will come back better than ever Clowney will become a dominant pass rusher and Merciless will be elite

Well, we still lead the division with the Lions coming to town before our bye week. If we can beat Detroit, we're 5-3 going to the bye week, although 0-3 on the road with losses at NE, Minny and Denver (no shame there although they hardly showed up).
I hope the secondary heals up and the OL manages to gel during the bye week and we still are on pace for 9-7 and a division title. Ironically, chances are good we'll have the Broncos as our first-round matchup if the standings hold.

Texans are a 2.5 to 3 pt favorite in the upcoming game against Detroit.
------------------------------------------- The Texans really should swallow their pride and make an assessment of the QB position between now and the bye. Not saying permanently bench Oz, but more like to give Savage a start or two and see how things go. One would have to be pretty dang lousy QB to equal what the QB position has produced thus far.......... Oz might be a little mental right now about The Money and The Pressure that goes along with it... In baseball, they call it "pressing".... In the end, this could end up being a more expensive Matt Flynn situation....cut bait and move on..... or perhaps Oz can find a rhythm..... a lot of future star QB's had a horrible first year....

This is on O'Brien now. It's his offense, and now it's been 2.5 years of suck. Osweiler seems to have regressed since the start of the season. I'd love to see Savage at this point, but I recall O'Brien regretted moving away from Hoyer early last season, so I doubt he makes a change unless due to injury. It is his job on the line now, so maybe that spurs action during the bye if the offense struggles at home against the Lions.
As Bob mentioned earlier in this thread, losing on the road to the Patriots, Vikings, and Broncos - some of the best defenses in the league at some of the toughest places for any visitor to play - is understandable. The Texans have basically won the ones they should have and lost the ones most reasonable observers would have expected them to lose. And most teams would suffer tragically if they lost their MVP as the Texans have with J.J. Watt. It's just how anemic the team has performed that is frustrating. The bottom line is that, like last year, the Texans will win a terrible division and make the playoffs, likely with a home game against a wild card. So if Osweiler is still O'Brien's answer, then whatever he does with him between now and January - bench him, play him - has to be done with an eye toward winning that first playoff game. If these next 9 games help O'Brien develop Osweiler for the playoffs, then there's your reason why he would leave him as the starter.

Virtually every qb in BOB's offense in Houston has been terrible and to a man they have been better elsewhere. BO is statistically the worst qb in the league and he badly fails the eye test. But I might try a new coach and a new system before anything else.
