    Don't disagree, but he might not have a choice if he wants to stay on as HC.

    What? Not sure why BO'B should get good credit as a head coach. To me it is hard to assess as team just lacks talent at several positions. That said, playing tight was likely a good decision in my opinion. I'm shocked there was a team out there that could lose to the Texans yesterday.

    His "head coach" praise is similar to what I've said. OBrien gets guys to play hard. Players buy in to Obrien as a leader of men.

    However, I'll just throw out there that it's not a good thing for a head coach to basically forget he has guys on the roster. I just don't think he can handle being involved in the actual running of the offense during a game. He basically admitted that the first game he forgot about Foreman.

    Would his ego allow for that?

    Abysmal play calling. No improvement over Godsey.

    The goal is winning. Dude has a rookie signal caller no tight end(s) and his best o lineman is a no show

    I guess they should be scoring 40 instead of 50

    I would think older guys would understand winning is all that matters

    If by keep you mean "keep away from a headset" or keep away from my team then yeah.

    The guy embodies every "good is the enemy of great" football cliche. Good enough is not good enough. Coaching to not lose. I'd fire him today.

    Because when they made the playoffs last season Osweiller lit it up right?

    If you are negative after last night your glass will remain half empty. You arent being objective

    BOB was hired to be a QB guru and during his time here he's switched QBs in and out like they're defensive linemen. It's clear in today's NFL that having a terrible QB will always cap your upside. And he's treated the position like it's as important as a kicker. If the Texans had wanted to win Ravens-style with all defense probably shouldn't have a coach who's calling card is he's the alleged Brady whisperer.

    O Brien proved he could coach offense with Hoyer. The goal is winning and in the season process getting better week to week.

    He won with no tight end a 22 rookie signal caller behind a suspect line.

    Who gives a **** about the soring average but kids playing coach on Madden
