    Semi connected? Lol

    His father is an nfl coach, he has a good friend in the Green Bay organization and a very high up connection in the bears organization.

    He is more connected than anyone in Houston sports media.

    Why isn't anyone talking about defense?

    lol, please give examples as to how connected LZ is...

    i'm just saying LZ says some stupid crap sometimes.

    he thinks he knows more than he actually does.

    He broke the haynesworth signing with Washington for exact dollars before anyone in the media, he is good friends with Alonzo high smith of Green Bay, mike Lombardi of Cleveland, I don't know his source in Chicago but he has consistently called their draft picks.

    Right or wrong on his calls, dude knows his football. No one is 100%, but if LZ speaks of something football/player related I listen. Studies a ton of actual game film. I have mad respect for LZ.

    Seriously, lance isn't perfect and he has driven me crazy before which I have posted here, but no one in Houston media can study film and form intelligent opinions like he does aside from john Harris.

    read what i wrote. i simply said you have to take what he says with a grain of salt.

    i hate to break your heart, but his word is not gospel.

    Totally agree. They're friends of course and have thesidelineview.com. Big fan of Lance and John Harris is a freak of football knowledge as well.

    Aw you broke my heart and on New Years no less. No one said he was the gospel. I am a fan and think he's knowledgeable. You don't have to agree. It's ok.

    Oh hell yea...!!! The Patriots offense was prolific when O'Brien was there and he may deserve credit for advancing the development of Brady because he was just a game manager when New England was winning Chips. And he worked miracles at Pen State.

    This makes my years of suffering through Kubiak worth it. I never wanted him. His last year in Denver he was stripped of his play calling duties because the team couldn't score in the red zone and they was losing games and he never developed a QB. And Charlie already F'd up one #1 draft pick in Washington and Bob brings him in when Charlie never had success without Joe... This is the best move Bob has made.

    He'll be the worst coach in the league after the Texans next loss.

    Yep. But for now, let's enjoy imagining he's going to be the next god-coach.
