The texans need to just keep running and shore up the pathetic defense...i expect one of those things to improve and the other to stay constant...
Kubiak: Penalty front: We're addressing the hell out of it. Gotta find a way to fix it. It's a discipline thing; it's on me.
In this game, they had one red zone drive stopped by a fumble (Hopkins). Another stopped due to a holding penalty. And the last one stopped on an attempt to Hopkins in the end zone being held. I know its fun to pile on Kubiak at all times... and they do need to get better in the red zone... but the play-calling today isn't the problem. Its execution, staying away from penalties, and getting the calls.
What should he say? "Its not my fault... its the idiot players who'v been in the league a few years, yet still make the same off-sides mistakes and late hits and holding/facemasks"

Yep. I been noticing that other teams seems to always grab AJ, Hopkins and Daniels but we seem to never get that call. NEVER
Texans offensive/defensive yardage totals VS points totals is largely Red Zone efficiency. The defense gives it up (30th TD%) and the offense gets few TDs and misses FGs Giveaways/Takeaways aren't our friend either,
Flailing your arms and looking like you're 5 seconds from a stroke doesn't make you a "real" coach. Best coach I had was always calm, because he knew he had to think things through and being emotional lent itself to stupid decisions.
Texans fans biggest nightmare..... Schaub plays decent (well enough to keep his job) and we still lose.
Maybe that's the problem. Kubiak thinks the object of the offense is to move the ball, not score points.
