    Also, I advocated for the hiring of RAC, but at this point he needs to be dismissed as well as anyone making personnel decisions on defense.

    If Watt AND Clowney are consistently getting double teamed, which they are, and you can't generate consistent pressure, which we can't, then the coaching and the personnel decisions are a major problem.

    That plus we're not even pressuring the QB anymore. With Wade, we'd blitz A LOT and sometimes it led to us getting beaten in the air, now we're not blitzing and still getting beaten in the air, just without the pressure on the QB

    No, it's arrogance and it's the same arrogance that has somehow infected this entire organization which thinks it's better than it actually is despite proof to the contrary. The only surprise for me last night was the play of Hasselbeck. I knew that both Gore and Andre could still play ball - in fact if Indy had been really smart, they'd have found more creative ways to utilize the two of them. That is something I expect to see more of when Luck returns. But no matter. I'll agree with you on one thing - that Indy secondary really did play like scrubs. They stunk on ice.

    That's your opinion and I accept that but as for me, I have seen enough of Wade over the years to know that he isn't the answer for what's ailing this defense.

    It's not a shocker that the ONLY time Dre or Gore looked like they had any business on an NFL field was last night against what has become an awful defense due to mismanagement. Those guys ARE washed up scrubs. That's not arrogance because I'm not saying the Texans are any good, it's just fact. Those guys are washed up scrubs. Deal with it.

    I miss the days of Wade's defense getting absolutely torched by the quick passing game.

    At least we completely wrecked everyone else.

    You can stick your head in the sand and call the other team's players all the names you want but it's the Texans who are a 1-4 team today because of those scrubs. That's only important thing one needs to "deal" with this morning.

    I wonder if the players have respect for BOB? I know pretty much everyone at ClutchFans hates Kubiak. But I have heard from former Texan players that the players had great respect for Kubiak. I don't think players have to like a coach, but I think it's important that the players respect the coach.

    LOL, this is embarrassing. You are completely failing to understand what I'm saying....so maybe go back and re-read what I've said and see if you can do a better job a second time through. Good luck!

    Kubiak was a professional, didn't show up his players, didn't yell at them or throw f bombs at them.

    He treated them like pros rather than college kids.

    Knowing McNair, I think we all expect BOB to be here through 2016.

    But at this point there's almost no way you can let RAC and Godsey stay on staff.

    Maybe, but I think Kubiak had the staying power that he did because he never lost the locker room till that very last year. BOB might have done that already.

    What's said is he won't clean house. Either Rick Smith or some of the coaching staff will survive

    Kubiak was a friend. BO'B is just a coach.

    I've already resigned myself to Rick Smith being here forever.

    Like herpes or a cockroach.

    Yeah, you might expect McNair to make a move like where he forced Kubes to fire Frank Bush and hire Wade Phillips before pulling the plug entirely.

    At least BOB didn't throw the players under the bus like Chip Kelly just did....there's a guy that absolutely won't be in the NFL next year.

    Really NO reason to even aim for 8-8...why??? We arent worthy of a wildcard position...The Colts are running away with this division yet again.

    Just tank again...clean house and start again. Consider trading your stars for high level picks...
