    I named two receivers and two running backs to go along with the talented QB. Outside of the OL, that's a leveon below the Steelers offense.

    This is my point, despite the terrible OLine and ‘lack of talent’ the offense was putting up 30 a game.

    The defense playing terribly, and poor defensive play calling is more so associated to the Seahawks game than the Pats game. The pats game is on Corey Moore dropping the pick and BoB taking the ball out of Deshaun’s hands. But both should share the blame equally. Me thinks that after the crap everyone in the media and team gave BoB for his decisions he learns to give Deshaun the ball, cause well people can learn and grow and make better decisions from experience.

    To be fair that's what I'm hoping for too. I'm hoping that BOB learns from his mistakes and eventually becomes a competent head coach.

    If Belicheck can do it, why not BoB?

    Well, because the odds are VERY much against a head coach becoming the greatest head coach of all time....but it's not literally impossible.

    True, but before he got to the Patriots no one thought Belicheck would turn out the way he did, especially after how poorly his previous stop with Cleveland went. Not saying BoB will become the greatest ever, but improvement, especially when you have a young franchise QB oozing with talent, is more likely than not.

    We will never know what Foreman would've been.

    Fuller can only play 10 games a season and drops alot of passes when he does play, although he does have talent. # Not dependable.

    Miller is a middling talent. IMHO

    Hopkins = Great talent

    why are the Texans not getting in on a cheap TE, Safety (Still a lot left) or a CB on cheap deals..
    Why use 1 of your (not many) draft picks on a need, when you can get it on the cheap (free agency)
    Then use your draft picks on OL (depth) in the draft..
    (did anyone listen to Arian Foster's podcast with Andre Johnson) (they were talking about how the Texans never go hard in Free agency (like the patriots) They stated that they were told the Texans build through the draft, which is fine.. but when it came to keeping them, they wouldn't.
    weird team,,, strategy.

    As much as BOB clearly evolved and advanced his offense to accommodate Watson, his continued refusal to do the same with Miller baffles me. I think Miller is mediocre the way BOB utilizes him - but I'm not sure he's overall mediocre.

    I wish he'd watch tape of how the Steelers deploy Bell - Miller obviously isn't that good but he has a similar skillset.
