    Lmao that's the type of guy he is. **** with you when your team is down and then when you react he tries to pull the "Internet tough guy card". Where I'm from we have a word for that, it's called a p***y

    So you didn't watch and don't follow football but you come to the Texans forum to give your two cents? Sounds like a basement dwelling issue.

    Osweiler: 41 passes for 131 yards
    Brock Osweiler threw 41 passes for only 131 yards in the Texans' loss at Denver on Monday night. The only player in NFL history who had fewer passing yards in a game in which he threw at least 40 passes is Jesse Palmer, who was 18-for-43 for 110 yards against the Panthers in the Giants' final game of the 2003 season. That was the third and final start of Palmer's NFL career and it was the last game of Jim Fassel's NFL head-coaching career.​

    My thoughts exactly. I just want to see if this offense is actually any good and to do that we need to see if Savage can run it better. He was BOBs first QB and has been running this offense for 3 years now. I want to see what it looks like with him at the helm.

    He will cost $36,000,000 through next year. That is better than $72,000,000 but still is pretty damn bad.

    If you were O'Brien; you wouldn't have taken the job because you would know that McNair Sr. doesn't give a damn about winning, McNair Jr. is a bumbling mouth breather, and Rick Smith will survive a nuclear holocaust and throw the coach under the bus again.

    Brock wasn't O'Brien's choice? It is still on O'Brien then. What kind of self respecting NFL head coach lets his GM give a QB $72,000,000 if the head coach doesn't want him? Does he let Smith and McNair Jr call flee flickers from time to time as well?

    I feel no empathy for any of the decision makers involved. O'Brien obviously is a bottom feeder that doesn't have any self respect, Rick Smith is not good at his job and knows damn well that he is manipulating the McNair's to keep his job.... McNair Jr. can hardly speak and is going to be handed a multi billion dollar empire just because he shot out of Old Bob's dong and nestled into his mother.... and McNair Sr.? He is a con man, getting rich off of ENRON, yet skating through without a blemish, buying an NFL team and treating it like his company softball team and YET some how the self loathing Texans fans cannot get up the energy to blame him for running a BAD franchise from day one.

    not really 3 years. he was a rookie, missed time with injuries and was behind hoyer and mallett. he wasn't getting that many reps in practice. so i'm not sure how well he runs this offense since its a few preseason games when he did play

    HMMM Well lets see, the offense gets less and less effective as there is more tape on the Texans and the plays they run. That is on the coaches for not making proper adjustments.

    Then again the whole foundation of the Texans is a joke. I cannot decide if they were arrogant enough to believe that they could just sign a free agent QB, starting RB, draft a #2 receiver and have ZERO offensive line and still some how win consistently in the NFL....... or if Smith and O'Brien knew it would fail but wanted to buy as much time as possible from Old Man McNair.

    Elite team again exposes Texans as 'average'

    DENVER - As certain as I was the Texans had shown their true colors - Battle Red against average or worse teams, Rattle Red against good ones - I left room for benefit of the doubt because the 2016 season is young.

    I like to avoid premature evaluation, and humiliating defeats at New England and Minnesota could turn out to be the early chapters in a special Texans story. Monday night's game against the Broncos provided the Texans with an excellent opportunity for a plot twist. Instead, it was the same old story.

    They stumbled, bumbled and eventually crumbled, falling to the defending Super Bowl champs 27-9.

    If you fell asleep watching the Texans' insomnia-curing show, you didn't miss much. With their second touchdown-less "performance" of the season, the Texans proved once again they are incapable of matching the best teams in the NFL.

    And they are particularly putrid away from NRG Stadium.

    The Texans have scored one touchdown in three road games this season, and that meaningless one came in the final minutes of a game they trailed 31-6.

    They might be worse than we thought they were.

    Bill O'Brien, who according to owner Bob McNair was hired as coach because of his innovative, modern offense, and ability to adjust on the fly, was outcoached. Again.

    This time by old-school, unable-to-adjust-on-the-fly, you-know-what's-coming Gary Kubiak. Yeah, the guy he replaced.

    As was the case last week against the Colts, the Texans found themselves down by double figures early in the fourth quarter.

    They came through with a miracle comeback to beat Indianapolis in overtime.

    The Broncos aren't the Colts.

    Bottom of the barrel

    Those Texans you saw last week aren't the Texans you seen when they face good teams.

    The Texans have scored a league-low 10 touchdowns this season. They are in last place in that category behind 10 teams that have played only six games.

    No way in the world were the Texans going to score two touchdowns in the final minutes against the Broncos.

    O'Brien likes to say his Texans are a game-plan offense.

    Well, his game plans aren't working.

    And quarterback Brock Osweiler took another step backward in a steady lack of progression that has to be concerning.

    With Osweiler at the controls, the Texans are the worst offense in the NFL.

    Call it Brock bottom.

    I rarely mention how much money Osweiler is making, because it is almost irrelevant.

    He would be overpaid if he were making minimum wage.

    Osweiler isn't good enough to make things happen when everything isn't laid out for him. And O'Brien isn't laying things out for him.

    With a hodgepodge of NFL also-rans at quarterback, the Texans averaged 21 points per game last year, which was 21st in the league.

    They are averaging just 16.7 points per game this season, 31st in the league.

    Worse yet, we have seen little evidence, if any, Osweiler is getting better.

    In seven starts with the Texans, Osweiler is worse in every statistical category than he was in his first seven starts in the league, which came with the Broncos last year.

    His misfires are so off target it is doubtful he will be an elite quarterback.

    Osweiler, who turns 26 next month, has been in the NFL for five seasons. Passers don't typically develop pinpoint accuracy this late in a career.

    He was dreadful Monday, completing just 22 of 41 attempts for 131 yards with his longest completion going for only 13 yards.

    Dubious distinction

    It was one of the worst yards-per-pass attempt outings the NFL has ever seen.

    Only one other time in NFL history has a quarterback attempted 40 or more passes and totaled fewer yards.

    Only twice has a Texans quarterback thrown 30 passes and totaled fewer yards, and both of those were David Carr's rookie year, the inaugural season for the franchise.

    At least Osweiler managed for the first time this season to get through a game without throwing an interception.

    Of course, he had to give the ball away somehow. So, on a clear, dry, beautiful evening, somehow the ball slipped out of Osweiler's hands. It was ruled a fumble and led to Denver's final score, a field goal that put the game out of reach.

    Thank goodness the AFC Sour, I mean South, is there for the taking.

    The Texans fell to 4-3 but are in first place.

    Given that they provide so much at which to scoff, perhaps we should give the Texans a break on their weak division.

    When it comes to the NFL, being the best of a bad lot isn't as insulting as one might think.

    A guaranteed home playoff game, reward for winning a division, is not a bad goal to set.

    Of course, the Texans aspire to be more than one-and-done playoff appetizers for the big dogs to devour.

    God bless 'em.

    There is a reason you don't see a lot of postgame interviews from the Washington Generals' locker room.

    Diminished expectations tend to lessen the agony of defeat.

    Little team that can't

    But the Texans think they belong. They think they can be one of the big boys.

    "To go out there and have a performance like we did is extremely disappointing," Osweiler said. "We will find a way to clean this up."

    They think they can. They think they can. They think they can.

    You know they can't, though, right?

    Not really. After watching the play calling where they have Lamar Miller running up the middle over and over again and BOB come into game after game with a game plan that simply won't work, that obviously won't work, I simply don't see how we could take anything else away from it. I mean, it's just infuriating to watch.

    BOB was supposed to be some kind of offensive guru so this is unacceptable. IMO if he doesn't figure out how to use his players to their strengths quickly, his seat deserves to get hot.

    That fumble had a nice spiral, one of his better tosses of the game.

    This offensive guru got better production out of Brian Hoyer and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Maybe it's Brock fault that he sucks worse than they do.

    That doesn't explain why he keeps running Lamar Miller between the tackles. He's not using his players to their strengths and that's my point. The fact that he had success with different players once upon a time does not refute that he's currently not playing his players to their strengths and he's not preparing a competent game plan now.
