The Saints are primed to score again, the Texans are still only one game back of the Colts....not that it matters.
Can we make a list of all the imbeciles frothing at the mouth bc obrien left his starters in the game? Lots of reasons to be mad but that sure as f&@k isn't one of them.
what is being said? that's probably the most entertaining part of this game. he better not being going after tania. white knights.
Who gives a damn if someone here was clamoring to get player out or not? We aren't getting paid millions to make decisions out on the football field. It should be intuitive of the head coach to take players out when there is literally no point in having them out there. The only thing that could happen in that situation is that someone will get injured. JJ was limping around in the 3rd quarter when it was 41-0. You send your best player hurt out there when the game is unofficially over.

Sure.... you just get to complain about it after the fact, while ignoring all the other "star" players still playing and not saying a damn thing. Also, what difference does it make when a player basically suffers a non-contact injury without even trying? At that point, its his body... and its going to happen eventually.

Going into the 2nd half, I wouldn't have sat players. The guys who quit in the first half and acted like they didn't want to be out there? I wouldn't have rewarded them by giving them their wish. Looking forward, once they started to play well in the 2nd half, I'd want to capitalize on that as much as possible. Even if this game was a lost cause, try to succeed as much as they could in the 2nd half to build at least some momentum going into next week. Give them some reason to believe the first half was a freaky aberration.
When you are down by 41 points before halftime to another mediocre team... I don't care what the talent disparity is, that's a SERIOUS coaching issue.
I'm sure he's fine with that too. He wasn't ever going to get a fair shake from BOB, this way he won't risk getting hurt so he can be healthy for the next team he goes to.
Did he get a fair shake last year when he replaced Fitzpatrick when you repeatedly called it a terrible coaching decision by BoB?
Yes cause every team wants a QB who can't show up for practice or team flights on time. Leadership in droves.
Again, You are missing the boat here. Any player whose dared to challenge his coach twice in a season with this kind of behavior will not last in any team and will get cut if they are performing at his level. However, this is a very different situation for BoB, because he is the guy hand picked and traded for by BoB, and he is the guy whose named the starting QB 3 rd quarters into the season and BoB already admitted he fork up to start the season. You cant expect someone to fork himself every week when his job is on the line. There is no winning situation for BoB no matter what the decision will be. And tha is exactly the situation of this sorry franchise facing with sorry assed management from top to bottom.
