This is not an indictment on what we have become. We are still firmly in the playoff picture. I've just never been so embarrassed, through the Culley and Lovie years, O'Brien .. never been so embarrassed of the absolute thrashing that we took as I am watching this today. We did not belong on the same field as the Browns. What a complete domination of the Texans.
Really? The Texans were the most embarrassing franchise in the NFL for over two years. This game is nothing.
Is Singletary the only key player on our team that hasn’t been injured and out? I think he’s the only one.
Right, but I don't think that's a knock against the coaches. They are .500 without Stroud. The defense DID win a game for us just last week. Without that game we're out of the playoffs. Yes, it was against lesser competition but it was a win. I don't think that should be downplayed, it's just that without Stroud its that much harder to win, I don't think that means the coaches suck though, it's just the reality. Just like I don't think Belichick is a bad coach because he doesn't have Brady, it's just hard to win games when you don't have the talent to do so. I do think the coaches made some mistakes but they are just like the players, they will make mistakes and hopefully learn from them.
Mills should have had a shot to start the 3rd, my only disappointment of the game. Once Greenard went down, the pass rush, rushing 4, was not going to get there.
They should have put Mills in to start the 2nd half. Huge mistake! They knew Keenum wasn't getting anywhere.
I'm not saying Demeco sucks (I think Slowik does) but they both have to be better no doubt. The fact that Mills is now doing what Keenum couldn't is on coaching for not actually starting Mills this game.
I'm just confused at how this is embarrassing. Texans were expected to win 6 games this year. They did get thrashed, yes, but it happens. Especially to teams still rebuilding and still with massive holes on their roster. I can think of many other more embarrassing games, like the Varsity Jacket game was 50x worse than this game because that game the Texans were a supposed contender and got completely undressed. This is nothing, Texans weren't even favored to win this game were they?
