    The accountability is lacking. Dare fumbles week 1... it's okay mistakes happen (BS mentality)... so week 3 it happens again with a different player. They will tell you they addressed it... the pressure to be dominate and win isn't there.

    Keep in mind who owns and operates the Texans franchise. Cal is the failed son of a failed owner. The buck stops there. The Texans are a product of feckless nepotism.

    TBF, I’m pretty sure Dare did not see the field today on offense.

    After listening to Demeco saying he's not discouraged I still hear a coach that's coaching in the spirit of hope and not will. I hate the mentality of believing every game has to be a nail biter.

    I thought about this earlier: has a HC ever been demoted to coordinator?

    I'm saying it's not one particular player... it's the lacksdasical mindset of the team. There's no pressure to truly get past the divisional round of the playoffs. Sting gets paid... of course the injuries will happen like his rookie year. Houston is a place guys want to be so they can get paid and chill. They don't give a F about the Super Bowl man...

    They are 0-3 against Jax/TB/LA.

    They are not the only winless team - there are 8 teams right now without a victory.

    Next week they play the Titans (also winless) and then the Ravens, Seahawks and Niners.

    They should beat the Titans - but then likely lose their next three. So could easily be 1-6.

    The organization already wasted the rookie contract of Stroud with nothing to show for it and he is clearly regressing. It is only a matter of time before he asks for a trade or is benched.

    Ryans hasn’t helped the situation with his handling of the offense and OC - but he isn’t the only issue. The GM and ownership are poor as well.

    The OL wasn’t addressed at all. Ryans wanted an inexperienced OC (again) and the roster has holes because the GM is an inconsistent drafter.

    It is very possible the HC and GM are fired after this season - any sane owner would if they fail to make the playoffs and making the playoffs after starting 0-3 is a very tall order.

    There is never a legitimate sense of urgency or importance with this team across multiple GM’s and Coaches. The issue is poor ownership - with Cal McNair being the perfect example of nepotism. He would be a security guard at Walmart if his old man was someone different.

    WTF does one thing have to do with the other?

    "of course"?

    He hurt his ribs, not his foot.

    Not officially but Lovie Smith was basically told in Chicago to coach the defense and not comment or offer any opinion on offense after he blew the OC pick 3-4 times. Demeco is learning what guys like Jeff Fisher, Marty Shottenheimer, John Fox and Lovie Smith did - sometimes take the ego out of it and get the best assistant on the other side of the ball that you can. Even Nick Sabin learned that lesson.

    Demeco has been pretty open about not being involved in the offense. He’s been solid with in game management for the most part and his defense did enough to be 3-0.

    I just can’t blame him.

    To be fair, not sure how many running backs could have secured that ball Dare fumbled the way it was punched out. It wasn't long me he handled it loosely and sloppy. That was a great defensive play.

    Its time to remove power from Demeco and disregard his suggestion on the OC. Hire an experience OC and have Demeco work with him.

    There are four teams that have never been to a Super Bowl: Jags, Browns, Lions, Texans

    There is one team that has never played a AFC/NFC title game: Texans

    There is one team that has never even come close to winning a second round playoff game: Texans

    Folks, it's time to face the fact that there's something fundamentally wrong with this franchise that extends beyond players and management. This franchise will flounder as long as the McNair family owns it. Their stink permeates the entire organization.

    I don’t think he had a say in who his OC was going to be I think this was Nick

    Time to get an offensive minded head coach. You gotta score pts to win. Look how Caleb is getting better each week under Ben Johnson.

    CJ needs an offensive head coach

    If they knew they was going to take a QB years back they should have went Offensive minded coach.

    They're just like the fans of major teams in Houston. Easy going and satisfied just sitting back and watching the failure; watching where it goes. In the last 20 years or so, only the Astros had broken that trend but they're heading back into it.

    When did Jeff Fisher learn that?

    He does some dumb stuff (every coach does) and the lack of fundamentals/smarts/whatever on defense is bothersome, but I have no real issues with the D he's running with the personnel he has.

    He doesn't necessarily needs to go. But a demotion, yes.

    Would he accept demotion to be a DC? Prolly not.
