Oh also I can't change my signature apparently.

Pre-edit your photo to match the required specs. If they aren't EXACT,
you can't use it. For your avatar:

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 80 pixels or 24.4 KB (whichever is smaller).

No, I mean, there isn't even an option anywhere that lets me try to choose one. And I used to have a custom one when I joined and now the option is gone, or I can't find it. lol.

I don't hate Kubiak, I don't think he's stupid. Something else must have been going on.

You're in the 1st stage of grief. Denial. You have a long way to go. When you become a Stage Fiver, like myself, you'll be able accept Kubiak's brainfarts much easier.

Couldn't. Agree. More.

This feels like the David Carr saga all over again. I honestly wanted to believe in Carr. I blamed it on the o-line. I blamed it on the receivers. I blamed it on the coach. But at some point, you'll have to question whether your blind adherence is legitimate or not.

This is nothing at all like David Carr. It was easy to see his short-comings. He never looked downfield, he ran into sacks, he had no idea what the defense was doing so he had to stare down his recievers to wait for them to get open. He had no working knowledge of ball placement.

Kubiak on the other hand. You can say that the play calling was atrocious. But we don't know what the play calls were. We don't know which ones Matt checked out of run plays into pass plays. Every body knows he has this capability. But every body thinks he'll be as successful as Peyton when he does this.

3rd & 2, 4th & 2... yeah, we could have run the ball. Doesn't make passing the ball a bad idea when you have Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, & the ball hitting the receiver in stride.

We're complaining about not running the ball... no one wants to talk about being 6 for 18 for 37 yards? David Garrard didn't have that problem. Vince Young won't have that problem.

He's not fire & Brimstone... he doesn't have a huge chin.... But he's doing a good job & we still have an opportunity to win 10+ games & get to the play-offs this year.

Results be damned? Who said that?

I'm just not ready to give up on this team, or this season. If we get to 5-7 then your rhetoric would actually make sense, you act as if we already are. We're 4-3, & haven't played our best football yet.

I get that the schedule gets tougher from here on out, but the games still have to be played.

Lol

You remember what I'm talking about? Think it's time to bust that out.

Roger that.

[Wolf]

guess I am down because this defense haven't given up less than 24 points in any given game... plus it isn't like last year where our loses were close except for the Jets game, this season , we are getting punched in the mouth early and ***** slapped the rest of the way..

Unless there is some miracle with the defense, Bush has to got to go.

That's what he does. Accept it, and never argue with it.

For instance:

Me: "I'm SICK of the Texans giving up 400 yards a game!"

TK: "They only gave up 399.99083789070891237489078901249237 yards this week."
TK: "They were even worse last week by giving up 399.99083789070891237489078901249238."
TK: "This team is getting better under Kubiak. They're still young, although in their 5th season!"

See?

Just smile, and don't argue with him. He's trying to cope with the foolishness
we see on the field the best he can.

We each deal with it using the "tools" we have at hand. Because we basically all want the same thing I can't get too wound up over TK. He's just another Daydream Believer looking for a sign.

Lol!

True story: Last night, a good friend and I got into a heated-ass argument after the game at Buffalo Wild Wings. He's Mr. Rah, Rah, the TExans can never do no wrong.

I told him that this defense is really getting on my nerves and I'm tired of this ****. This fool said - and I kid you not - "Well, the Texans have always had a bad defense. Kubiak inherited it."

That's what he said. Granted, this was after a dozen or so beers, but he would have said the same thing regardless. I told him that this is Kubiak's defense and that he needed to own it. He then told me I needed to have a bit more loyalty, and that good teams take a while to build. I damn near screamed that I"ve been a season ticket holder for five years, and that Kubiak has had enough time to build a team.

Some people want to give Kubiak a lifetime contract. If you complain that the team has holes, they say, "Well, but, it was even worse under Capers."

It's a total loser mentality.

it's kinda funny re-reading some of my posts in this thread, i get drunk and argue just to argue ... making a lick of sense rarely coming into play lol.
