Best thing is that this game is easy to forget. I've already moved on. I dwell more on rockets regular season losses than I do this game.
PDS @PatDStat OB say him and Rick Smith will sit down and start evaluating the team. Will get input from coaches and personnel. #Texans 6:47 PM – 9 Jan 2016 PDS @PatDStat "We had a plan for him. Sometime it worked. Sometimes it didn’t." OB on defending Travis Kelce. #Texans 6:46 PM – 9 Jan 2016 Greg Bailey @GregBailey13 1m1 minute ago #Texans O’Brien won’t discuss QB plans for 2016. Said game just ended. Tania Ganguli @taniaganguli 2m2 minutes ago O’Brien said Brandon Weeden getting basically no reps in practice this week was a factor in his wanting to stay with Brian Hoyer. #Texans
Billy: It wasn't good Brian. Combo of us having to do a better job coaching & execution. Offense wasn't very good. I did not consider making a change. Sticking with him was the right thing to do. Never want to end the season this way. Not a good feeling. We have to regroup and see how we can improve our team & improve the coaching. We have a long way to go. Did Hoyer lose confidence? Ask him that. Thought the best thing to do was stick with him. Best thing was to stick with him. we named him the starter. Reps Brandon got, which was nil, the right thing was to stick with Hoyer. GL play with Watt? Jumbo package and felt it would work. It didn't and that's on me. We'll work hard to put a better product on the field next year. Did he make mistakes? No question but it's a combo of a lot of things starting with coaching. We have to coach better. Everyone has to do better. During the game, I was sticking with Brian. The game just ended. Every year is different. 2016 will be nothing like 2015. I have no idea what 2016 will look like 5 minutes after the game ended. There's a lot of things important, not just QB. We have to look at everything. That's what you do every season. You start with yourself, coaching & see where you can get better. Then the roster. There's a lot that goes into fielding a football team. It's not a good feeling to lose like this. Not good at all. We have to get better. I don't know what else to tell you. I'll tell you 50 thousand times, it starts with me. Loss linger? You remember the losses more than you remember the wins as coaches. Hopefully we can use it to build on. Hopefully we can improve on the things we didn't do well. We have to figure out how to get better. Clowney? He wasn't close. I felt terribly for him. He wasn't able to push off the foot and run. That's why we gave him another week but obviously didn't happen that way. First play of the game was a TD return which is a horrible way to start. There's so much that goes into every play call, I could disect every play call, good and bad. It didn't work out. Sometimes it works out well, today it didn't at all. We have to figure out what went wrong & get better. Give them credit. They're a good football team. They're certainly better than us. We made a lot of mistakes. The way the score was, they're a better team than us. Not in the reflective mood. Proud of the guys. Didn't go well today but I like this team and enjoy coaching it. Not ready to reflect on anything really.
Its been what 15 years now???? If mcnair havent figured out that you need an above average QB to Win he never will
"I read. I understand what’s written out there and you know, sometimes it pisses me off,” O’Brien said Sunday. “These are two guys that are good quarterbacks that have played in this league. They work very hard. They’re out here busting there ass everyday to get better and I think the city of Houston should be proud of both of them and I think the media should understand that these guys can play.”

Started off bad but made a hell of a comeback. Good season by the Texans regardless of this game, imo. Chiefs are something else. Next week vs. the Patriots is gone be gud.
I have no idea how a guy like Hoyer is a NFL quarterback. Dude gets paid million of dollars to suck. If anything i hope this loss show McNair that they need to address the quaterback this offseason for real.
Should thank his lucky stars Billy O'Brien only likes former Patriots. Undrafted --> New England --> Pittsburgh --> Arizona --> Cleveland --> Houston
Facts about Brian Hoyer's performance tonight: His Passer rating (15.9) would've been over double if he'd thrown the ball into the ground every play (39.6) He posted the 3rd worst passer rating of the 2015-2016 season He posted the 21st worst passer rating ever in the playoffs The only active QB to have a worse passer rating in a playoff game? Joe Flacco, who won a game in 2010 against the Patriots with a passer rating of 10.
pretty cool season sans...some really bad blowout games....including this one. At the start of the season, i poised the question if it was a better option to put the team in a better position to draft a QB...since it is the most important piece for this team. The Texans are still faced with this question, but I think Bill just gave Hoyer every chance in the book for his QB to break out of his rut. Unfortunately, we were embarrassed on national TV...but it is a darn good thing. There is no chance in hell that Hoyer starts as the QB on this team next season. It stinks when announcers show a pregame intro of Big Ben walking into the stadium, and state "NOW, there is a real QB" during halftime of the Texans game. Hoyer cost this team the game, but more importantly...Hoyer has lost a chance to be a starter ever again. Being 1 and done sucks, not scoring a point stinks, but it is what it is...till we resolve the issue at QB. It better start this April with the #1 pick. Ill still ride with this team, but damn go get a quarterback.
Brady is going to shred the Chiefs...guaranteed... The stuff Hoyer missed...is because he stinks...but there were tons of opportunities in this game. I expect the Patriots to roll on this Chiefs team next weekend. Congrats KC, but ur real playoff game awaits in Foxboro.
