John McClain: "Gary, Matt threw 62 passes. Does that concern you?" Gary: "Darn right it does. Can't have Matt sit back and throw the ball that many times. But that's on me. We should have run the ball more." John: "Why didn't you?" Gary: "Hate to keep telling you guys the same things over and over again, but we got behind early and things got out of whack. We only had [x] number of possession and were only on the field [x] times in the first half. Since we got behind, we had to get back in the game. But you're right. That's on me. We should have ran the ball more."
Didn't he say that he is proud of his players and they gave it their best out there and you couldn't ask for more and there is still alot of ball games left.. ??
We are mostly in agreement. The Texans, despite all the high draft picks and FA signings, simply aren't that talented on defense. And yes, IMO the Ravens actually have a *greater* talent advantage over the Texans on D than the Texans have on O. Suggs, Lewis, and co. for the win. Literally.
Sorry, I'm just not a Shaub fan... He's too streaky and not very accurate...there were an unnecessary amount of dropped balls, but if you really look at the passes, they are rarely on the numbers...either under thrown, thrown behind, too high. Also, some of his decisions are very questionable. Out of the 10 Texans jerseys I have, not one of them is a Shaub, but I'm definitely on the Foster Wagon, got 2 of his already. What a great runner. Bout time we got that.
It really seemed like the running game was only used as an accent to the passing game. Even before we fell behind by 3 scores, it seemed like every time we got a good run on first down to bring up a 2nd and short, we passed it. Also, if we had a decent game plan to start with and didn't have to make halftime adjustments, we wouldn't fall behind so early and could afford to run a more balanced offense.
Evidently On Scale of 1 - 10 Our Defensive - 1 .. played like a 3 Their Offensive 5 played like a 3 Our Offensive 9 play like a 3 then like a 10 Their Defensive 8 . . played like a 10 then like 3 overall . . .we just didn't have enough to get over the hump Rocket River
Ha he may have. I stopped tuning into them[the pressers] the past few weeks. New week same old Texans, same old Kubiak. 'Well those kids are battling and we're gonna keep pushin' and keep fightin'. These kids havent given up and neither have we [coaches].' yada yada yada Wait, think I found a clip of Kubiak's presser Spoiler womp womp womp womp <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eUyLwXhqlWU?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eUyLwXhqlWU?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> But yeah, Kubiak may have also said that, not sure, but almost positive Bob McNair said that after the Jets game.
He's definitely taken a step back this year, but he was awesome last year. I'll take a wait and see position on him, especially if we bring in new coaches. I do appreciate the fact that he isn't David Carr. Which reminds me, congrats to Schaub for becoming the Texans' all time leading passer tonight.
I watched VY play for Texas, and he does what it takes to win games. I think he's in a bad situation in Tennessee for whatever reason, but I don't think it would be too awful to take a shot at him.
Well .. . . Here is what is going to bug me. VY Will have a new coach next year and the Texans won't. I think Tennessee will pull the trigger on a 17 yr head coach who took them to the superbowl . . who is simply no longer getting it done and The Texans will settle for status quo . . .with their 5 yr coach who makes rookie mistakes!! Rocket River
LOL, well played sir, man I hate Bob McNair, the guy don't have the balls to do any changes to his team or maybe he doesn't care.
I'm just saying, you're knocking on Schaub for being inaccurate. VY has a career 58% passer and has thrown as many interceptions as TDs. Seriously take your burnt orange glasses off for this one. Schaub is the least of the Texans' problems at the moment.
Coach Gary Kubiak said the team had a problem with their headsets throughout the game and struggled getting plays to the huddle. “It’s disturbing,” Kubiak said. “When you go on the road you expect it, but it’s our place and it should not happen." Someone's messing with the coach(es) headset(s)
Don't get me wrong, I KNOW there are several problems with this team. Talent is mostly not one of them and regardless of Shaub's mistakes, we still put up points that SHOULD win games. ST and D are having some serious struggles, and I think some of it is personel, but most of it is credited to the guys with the polos. I could go all nite about it, I was just bringing up the point that Flaco had a better passer rating, and that could be attributed to many things. Somebody on this board brought up the point that it may not all be Kubes either. I wish he would over ride the OC more, not sure if he does, I'm not on the sidelines. Maybe say goodbye to Rick Smith and Frank Bush. Let's start there and see what happens. I know Kubes is responsible for bringing these guys in, and if we get a new HC, fine and dandy, but I don't believe it is all his fault as he says...Now T-mac, yes, it was on him...lol
This basically sums up my reaction after every gut-wrenching loss. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ee925OTFBCA?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ee925OTFBCA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
