The All Encompassing FIRE KUBIAK thread

[TexansBlood]

Our D finally stepped up and our O stayed the same...

[Hervoyel]

Nothing will happen. We've won our "franchise best" 11th game this year. We're going to the playoffs this year. We may still get home field advantage this year. Bob is happy and lets face fact, why wouldn't he be? Because we got annihilated by two great offenses this year? Big deal, games still sold out. Team is winning and we'll get em in the playoffs. That's what Bob thinks I'm sure.

I only remember once seeing a football team that could be successful while looking so bad at the same time and that was the Glanville/Pardee era Oilers. Stacked with talent and always coming up short in the important games. Always coming up short in the games that you would give anything to see them win in.

It just sucks all the give-a-damn out of your heart when they do this kind of thing and they do it so often that you never grow to trust them. You never really believe in them the way that Cowboys and Steelers fans in the 70's or 49er's fans in the 80's (or Patriots fans now) believe in their team. You always know that they're going to screw it up somehow or go on national television and become the laughing stock of the league when they get a chance to establish that they're legitimate. It's stomach churning. It's heart breaking. It's the Houston Texans. Even when they're winning regularly they can still manage to find a way to make you slightly embarrassed of them.

Give the team to Gruden, he clearly likes what we have to offer.

It's like poetry. That's perfectly worded. All of it.

So we get annihated by great qbs. So fire wade?

[Marcus]

So where is the All Encompassing FIRE WADE PHILLIPS thread?

Makes about as much sense as bumping this back to the top.

Just throw a brick into the TV and start worrying about the Colts.

Rep. Whether people like to admit it out loud or not, they don't trust Kubiak. I welcome anyone to go dig through gameday threads and read all the in-the-moment comments blasting Kubiak, even in games that ended up as wins. People don't trust him because at the end of the day, humans have this highly developed ability to RECOGNIZE PATTERNS.

[Hookem Horns]

I rest my case about Kubiak.

The guy is just not at the level of the elite or even real good coaches of the league. He can't compete against them. The Belichick's, Coughlin's, etc will eat his lunch any day of the week.

Well, Wade's been fired plenty, so I don't know that he's immune to any criticism either. But he hasn't been making the same mistakes here for almost 7 years, and he's not the one making the sorts of personnel decisions that are hurting this offense this year. He's not the one taking timeouts into the locker room, watching the clock tick down in critical situations, calling the same give-up plays on 3rd and long, and making weird personnel decisions on a week to week basis that leave you scratching your head.

So yeah, you can start a Fire Wade thread if you want. When he's shown the same failed tendencies for several years, I'll be on board, for sure.

Man the truth always hurts

[Wolf]

I just find this thread funny.

If before the season started we all would take a 11-2 record at this point and We would be ****ting egg rolls

Look I don't like getting blown out again on Monday night and it is embarrassing but the season isn't over yet

[BullBlitz]

"Norv" Kubiak. Just good enough not to get fired.

I do too. It started THREE YEARS AGO, and the same screw-ups have been laid out for the duration of the thread, Kubiak does all the same screw ups he did back then and yet we still have fans who think he's good. It's hilarious, in a really sad sort of way.

And yeah, 11-2 means the season isn't over ... yet. But if you're best argument is the record, then you're ignoring in victory what you wouldn't in defeat.

If i remember correctly the D stopped Brady 4 straight times and we got 0 points out of it....

[Wolf]

No, it's not, however I would bet the farm that the Texans will never win a Super Bowl under Kubiak.

Despite their great run this season Kubiak has still been doing the same things this season that makes me not like him as a HC. I won't rehash it again since eriadoc has just summed it up nicely.

Maybe so .. What coach do you want then?

keep giving brady possessions and he will score.

defense wasn't outstanding but offense didn't keep brady off the field either with long drives and long fields.

These Texans appear to be another version of the Moon led Oilers. (Failing on the big stage.
