Kubiak’s job could hinge on 2nd half

I don't know how much he was influenced by Kubiak or the defensive coaches, but any Cowboy fan would have told us what a joke he is in coverage. Anthony Weaver is another big mistake, but not attributable to Smith. We are like the cow that keeps stepping on her udder. She doesn't mean to, she just keeps looking for greener grass.

What games are you watching where you think Reeves is a problem. He is not great but he has clearly been our best DB this year.

People watched him struggle in the preseason and set it in their head to scapegoat him. You need to watch what is happening on the field.

Reeves cant get his head around and play the ball all the time, but at least he is usually in position, and when not he is able to revcover. Bennet has been the biggest disapointment this year. He got lit up two weeks in a row, worse than Reeves has all season.

Yesterdays game in Indy was another "morale" win for the Texans, as if one anyone still places any value in that kind of victory now that the Texans are in their 7th season.
And all the Kubiak apologists are out saying Kubiak did OK, it's just that he's got a dog DC in Richard Smith. I don't think Smith is the problem near as much
as the personnel on defense and in particular the DLine which can't get any consistant pressure on the QB. And most of the D players were picked by Smith & Kubiak.

I have a BIG problem with Kubiak not calling for Sage to spike the ball on that last play (or Sage not being smart enough to do it himself). They just gained a 1rst down and then run up and run a quick play resulting in the INT. If you have a guy that's known to make dumbass plays/INTS, why not spike it to calm him down and run a set play? The mistakes this team makes - all across the board - is just insane! If one area of the team/coaching isn't f'ing up, another area will surely take up the slack. It's mindbogglingly.

And, let's not forget that one of the reasons they were out of timeouts is because the defense tried to exchange personnel when Indy didn't, Peyton saw it, ran everyone to the line and caught us with 13 men on the field.

Another glowing example of mediocre coaching. I can point to at least 1-2 of these every game.

......And Feeney got two sacks against our first round pick OLT Mr. Brown.

The defense gave up 302 yds & 3 TDs in the second half. 154 run yds to the NFL's worst rushing team. And on and on!
