I really want to believe and I guess I'm willing to give them one more season, but the recurring theme seems to be either Schaub or Kubiak needs to go, or both. I've never really thought that about Schaub until today honestly. Eh but considering there isn't another QB of the Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Manning quality out there, it might be best to see what another coach can do. The only bad thing though is that if the Texans don't get it done this year again, and Kubiak is fired, I can easily see McNair giving Wade a shot. And so will continue the same song and dance all over again. It would be nice to see how good this team is when relatively healthy though. It's not enough that we lose players to injury, we have to lose key players.
Thanks for reminding me So it's a take your pick kinda thing: Kubiak or Phillips? Neither cuts it for me.
The answer is 3-5 years minimum with Kubes to be followed by Wade. I know the Good Ole Boys brought the NFL back to Houston, but they're going to have to bring in some outside talent to run things.... Oh, we'll make the playoffs, but, the Texans will continue to underachieve as long as our players are asked to overcome inept coaching ...momentum, strategy, ingame decisions Mix the chaos from the sideline with a QB whose comfort zone disappears quicker than a virgin on prom night, causing catastrophic mistakes ......and you have a recipe for frustration.
This team is a ****ing joke, they should still win the division but be prepared for a very long day when the wild card team comes to town.
This game was on Shaub and Kubiak! If Shaub doesnt want to get hit, he needs to go play baseball or something. He is so tentative and scary that it is horrible to watch. I used to think this team would finish 13-3. With Matt Shaub, I pray for 9-7. Kubiak? I really dont understand his play calling. The plays that work, we dont see until its too late and this conservative crap is really starting to get old!
It is so difficult to be a fan of this team. Seriously. It's very difficult to keep tuning in. I'm so callous to it all. The game ended and my 11 year old said, "Dad, I feel like I just got shot." My response was, "Welcome to my world..I've seen this so many times, that I have no expectation that Schaub finds a way to get that ball into the endzone." At this point, I'm really not interested in watching next week's game. Maybe that will change by Sunday afternoon.
No, I would stay aways from next week's game. I think they're going to get blasted. Which is actually OK. The big game - the one that will absolutely decide the fate of this season - happens in two weeks. If they beat Tennessee, they'll be 4-3 and 2-0 in the division with a head-to-head win against the (at best 4-3) Titans, who will be 0-2 in the division. Lose this week and that one, though.............
If they win, it's a mixed blessing. A mediocre team could stumble to 9-7 in the AFC South this year, and win the division. If the Texans do that, and Uncle Bob gives Kubiak a big extension based off of that, they're not going to get over the hump for a while. It sucks being out-coached, but when your coach is a JAG, it's going to happen.
I'm at a loss how a division championship is ever a mixed blessing. That just confounds me to no end - that we actually have people already complaining about an undeserved division crown. Wow. Some of your people... I just don't get it. I'll take a mediocre team winning a division 1,000,000 times and twice on Monday before I'd sit through another 6-10 season, which is what the Texans did last year. I'm not the only one who remembers that, am I?
I bet NY Jets fans were so disappointed 2 years ago with a 9-7 finish and a Wild Card spot. It only meant they were in the AFC championship game.
If the Cowboys didn't go 11-5 against the easiest schedule (ever?) in 2009, they probably would have a better quarterback by now. If the Texans back into a division championship, then get blown out week 1, and McNair extends Kubiak, that's a mixed blessing. It would be better for the team's championship prospects to go 7-9 or 8-8, if McNair would hire a really good coach.
