You may be the only person on this board who believes the Texans don't belong on the field with the Colts.

& I don't care about them other motherhuggers.

You keep turning my point around, I'm not arguing that the Texans are the Colts.

I'm not arguing that Monday's game is not huge. I'm not arguing don't need to win the division, or need new believers.

Well Kubiak isn't eager to improve the team by making any moves at the deadline, this could make or break his job.

Division by division.

New England - Miami and NYJ are right there and have much better defense. Think New England comes out 1st or 2nd in that if they don't change things?

Washington - Really think they are gonna keep winning and are not a fluke?? I mean like for real, for real? Not to even mention division with Eagles and Giants.

Houston - We all know our division and we all saw bumblescum mountain whoop JAX last night. So, no need to break down the obvious.

Tennessee, Houston & Jacksonville have had better defenses than the Colts for some time now. Hasn't really changed who sits on top of the division very often (only once really). Contrary to popular belief, the division is decided by the 10 games played outside the division more than the 6 division games. You could lose all six & still potentially win the division.

I remember one year the Cowboys were 6-0 in the division, but were the Wildcard & Washington (3-3 in the division I think) was the division champ.

But, even in that post, I'm saying our best defense is our offense. Our D is suspect for all the reasons mentioned already. We have work to do on our D...... eventually we should be able to expect them to win a few games for us.

I'm just saying they have never been that for us. Not even last year, when their stats were crazy over the last 13 games. The offense did it's thing, which allowed our guys to go 100% in short bursts...

You have a good point, and like you said, something to talk about and it certainly makes me think from different perspectives. That's a good thing.

Jen mentioned in her thread about scripting plays. Do you think this contributes to the offense's slow start? As I understand the concept of scripting to be somewhat more reactive in that you're seeing what the defense has planned for, but does this limit the ability to adjust early in the game?

Three aspect of the WC offense that I've noticed are scripting plays to start the game, 80% or better for TDs in the red zone, and close games that come down to the end. This is exactly what we saw last week in the Chiefs game, and comes from the Bill Walsh tree of coaching.

The way I see scripting plays, is more about defining a game plan and sticking to it. Not allowing short term information to affect long term thinking.

It is flexible enough to adjust to the situation, but the script keeps you on schedule.

I think the slow starts have been about JJ droping balls... OD not being 100% & things like that. JJ getting more snaps than Anderson... actually running the ball.

I put a little of that on Matt & Knapp, 6 games into the season, you'd think they have a pre-game warm-up routine that works... a little on Kubiak/Dennison..... let's get a script that works for #8... & JJ , catch the damn ball...

What's with the DA love I hear so many people with? As a punt returner,
he's a disaster. In a situation where you need a touchdown or big play
to finish a drive, he's a disaster. JJ gets no credit at all when compared
to DA, and I don't get it.

DA is white.

I love JJ. I was arguing he should be our #2, but DA was another safety blanket for Schaub on third downs.

YUP!! The lines at the escalator are way too long. I'm getting older and older and walking up the ramps is starting to kick my butt!

Know why I came to this thread? 'Cuz I heard in another thread that this is where everybody's fighting rampantly.

Problem is I don't know whether to say "Fire Kubiak!" or "Keep him" to piss people off.

Either way you can piss off a lot of people. If you want to get everyone, just say
"Fire Kubiak" and "Promote Bush" and "Bring back Casserly". That ought to do it.

I'm pretty sure if you go one way or the other, you've got your bases covered

[HJam72]

Bring back Casserly!

Prior to the season, there were some guys who said that the W/L record was the only stat that mattered and Kubes should be fired because of his W/L record.

We're 4-2.

Now some of those same guys are saying that the W/L doesn't matter because of what our W/L record will be in the future because of how bad our defense is. Well, that's the future.

This team has shown that it's got the guts to keep fighting and scratching and clawing for 60 minutes until they pull out the win. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

But, come on, at least wait until we're out of the playoff picture before bringing this BS back up. We have to go 1-5 over the next 6 games to reach Dexman's dreaded 5-7. And we might just do that. We have to play some good teams. But don't try to be a fortune teller about it. Give the team a chance to decide for itself what its freaking record is goign to be.

You know, I don't even mind the fortune tellers. Their opinions are just as valid as mine.

But the way they want to treat the situation, as if Kubiak has already failed, as if this team has already missed the play-offs, as if we've already lost 7 games.

Casserly always favored D players.
