Not all of the issues. He failed to mention the "not-so Special Teams", nor the terrible defense of late.... But yeah, other than recognozing 1 of 3 phases of the game....

I guess that's pretty good, given the national media perception of the Texans...

My primary fear is that even if the Texans play like they did to start the season, we still may not stand a chance @Foxboro. The Texans didn't shoot themselves in the foot by losing HFA.... they essentially blew their legs clean off.

But our QB did not miss a lot.
AJ has dropped more passes this year per target than his norm.
He has to be held accountable for his part.

The INT, we can't be sure what's supposed to be going on between the two of them; but we knew the ball left Schaub hand early as in a timing pattern.

Schaub threw one true bad pass the whole game, and that one is on him.

You have to call out the other guys as well, especially the guys who got paid at the top level.

At the end, everything goes back to the HC, but the team is 12-4.
You talk like he had the team unprepared for the whole season and that the team went 0-16.

I think my it's on the defense raising the level of play and taking over the game. That will take some pressure off Schaub and allow the offense to run and setup the play action. If Schaub is forced to pass against the Bengal pass rush, the Texans are likely one and done.

I think that is part of the problem also. Earlier in the season they were getting turnovers like like bill clinton gets secretaries. Lately we havent seen any turnovers that gave the offense a short field. Cant always ask the offense to go 80+ yards cause as we have all seen they just cant consitently do it.

LOL the first INT was a clear under throw, don't try to spin that, Schaub just missed

The second one was an over throw, but you could argue Aj got off route, its debatable

Im not here saying AJ is not to be held accountable, but everyone misses assignments, hell we've seen JJ miss tackles in the backfield, but the point is, we don't lose entire games because a few guys miss an assignment, we lose games because our head coach has shown no creativity with his play calls and our qb has lost the small bit of mojo he once had and forgot how to throw the damn ball accurately.

The HC had this team focused but something made them start sucking, thats Garys job to figure out what....I could tell my boss that the money my unit lost this month was nothing because we made some money throughout the season, but I guarantee my boss will be made I just lost 50k regardless of the previous 3 months....thats exactly the case here....we might have a good OVERALL record, but the point remains we underachieved based on previous goals and achievements. You cannot ignore the giant collapse weve encountered regardless what happened previously

He may be calling the correct pass plays for the defense against us. When schaub throws to a guy in tripple coverage I don't immediately blame kubiak. When schaub throws to a guy 2 yards beyond the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 14, I don't immediately blame kubiak. When schaub doesn't see or feel the blitz everyone else knows is comming and option to a hot route, I dont immediately blame kubiak.

There have been plays to be made .... the guy's on the field , Schaub most notably , just havent gotten the job done.


Look back at the Dolts game and see how many plays were left on the field .... Casey gets behind the entire defense , Schaub underthrows him resulting in an INT. #80 drops a sure TD , at least 9 other plays I saw where Schaub made poor reads , either missing open recievers or throwing into coverage or just plain bad throws.
An offensive line that allowed the Dolts backup defensive linemen to consistently penetrate on rushing plays .... and had several panalties.


Its hard for me to blame the guy calling the plays when the players make so many mistakes .... when these are the same plays they ran earlier in the year and were putting up 30 a game.


Each play is a microcosm .... each player has to do their part and any failure by any one player negatively affects that of all the others , some more magnified than others .... There have been far too many individual failures over the course of the last 6 games.

To A80,

I did not spin anything; I said that Schaub made one true bad throw, and that was the INT to Casey.

As far as creativity, did Casey get open on that throw? Yes he did.
Was AJ open on the pass that he dropped?
Yes he was.
Was Posey open on the pass that he dropped?
Yes he was.

How many years have AJ been in the NFL as to avoid a False Start?
Does he know not to move until the receiver in motion stops for a full second;
He moved when Graham had not even stopped yet.

How many yards did we gain?

I purposely did NOT mention Special Teams because people would have accused me of 'rubbing Jacoby Jones' in their face or some other crazy crap.

The defense is hurt- it is also an issue but not so much as Schaub is.And the playcalling too.

Yup. Kubiak's offense didn't go from near the top of the league to poo overnight because magically he doesn't know what he's doing suddenly. I'm not giving him a free pass because he's still accountable for identifying the issues and correcting players. Right here, right now i'd love to see him bench a couple of guys and show us all he has the brass balls to make us a winner no matter what.

We scored a TD after Andre dropped that pass a few plays later.

hahahahahaah no we don't.

That's because you never bother with the details so everything looks the same to you.

Come to think of it, Kubiak is successful in making you believe that everything is the same.

You're the same guy who just inferred Schaub 'throws his receivers open'... It's hard to take you seriously now.

Ironically enough, I wouldn't have had a problem with you throwing Jacoby in our face. The fact is, he was drafted to be a #2 receiver as an opposite threat to AJ and after 6 years he didn't "get it".... I wish him all the best, but it was right for the Texans to let him go. He was making way too much money for what he was producing.
