Kareem Jackson is a fking joke. He is one small step back from Amoeba Okoye as a first round waste of time. I'm more worried about Bouye's being out for a couple of series than I was with Jackson's being inactive for the last handful of games.

From five yards deep. This is an inconceivably stupid organization from its disgusting owner to its GM to its coach, staff, team, fans and everyone else with any association with the team.

The Texans paid big money to a guy who looks significantly worse than a guy on a barrett special rookie contract who had about a dozen games as a starter at a college known more for its business school than its football team.

We can all live to be 200 years old and we'll never see this team get to a Super Bowl much less win one.

Terrible offense, worse red zone offense, terrible run defense. In fairness they're down to no one in the secondary but the pass defense is OK considering.

I think the best thing that can happen is total disaster this year and BOB gets tossed out on his ass and who knows, maybe the monkey throwing darts at the dartboard in McNeck's office will hit something. Either that or Rick Smith will assert himself and make a series of good decisions.

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

And McNeck will show up at training camp looking like Fabio.

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.

I might try a Savage reassessment next.

It should give pause that Osweiler just got showed up by the guy who was HIS understudy last year.

If BOB is ultimately to blame then playing Savage in BOB's system will do more harm than good.

But again, the Osweiler acquisition was owner-driven so it is impossible to know what BOB might do with a QB of his own choosing.

Kubiak chose Schaub so it was fair to judge Kubiak by Schaub's performance. BOB didn't choose BO so we have an additional layer of fkup over this whole debacle.
