Kubiak is 1 and 18 in road games versus teams with eventual winning record

In terms of just making the playoffs, not losing to teams that are not as good as is more vital, just can't choke up those games. Winning against good teams on the road gives us a better sense of how good the team is or is not when considering if they can do something once there.

Yesterday we found out that, the Texans have not fixed many of the things that were shortcomings, but the idea that they "should" make the playoffs in this division is not defeated; yet.

I really want Kubiak to succeed---I like him a lot. But some numbers are impossible to ignore.

My guess is that most coaches, even the really good ones, typically have a losing record in road games against winning teams. The very best are probably just a few games over .500 in those games.

But 1 and 18?

Rep. I'm LMAO'ing to keep from crying. Too many fans wondering if this year's
team "feels" like a contender. We've been waiting over 5 years for this team to
actually BE a contender.

That's what will happen. Saints, Steelers, Raiders, Ravens, Bucs, & Falcons are the only teams that will possibly end up with winning records. Go 5-3 or 6-2 against the losers the rest of the way, pickup a couple of wins against the teams above, and you've got yourself a 2011 AFC South champion. Which means a home playoff game. I hope its the Saturday Night game.

I could come up with all sorts of stats that show Kubiak has failed. It doesn't matter. Read my sig. This season is Kubiak-proof.

Haha! Excellent.

And then, like in the Glanville era, we're one and done in the playoffs.

I look back to the Glanville era with misty eyes. It's been 10 years. Please give me one playoff game. That shouldn't be too much to ask.

Do you guys remember Mike Tomlin's first game as a head coach?

Was it similar to Mark Sanchez's first game as a rookie NFL QB on the road?

lmao. Wasn't Sanchez's head coach also in his first game?
See a trend?

This season is going to be enjoyable for me, one way or another. I am not going to let our crap head coach ruin another NFL season. I want to hope for the best and if they don't win the division, I can not see any scenario where Kubiak is brought back. If he can't win the division, this year, he will never win it...much less win a playoff game.

As long as I know Kubiak is going to get fired if they don't make the playoffs, I will be happy either way. Either happy with a playoff appearance (probably a home wild card game as bad divisional winner) or no playoffs and Kubiak finally getting run out of this town.

Hopefully Kubiak proves me wrong but I have 5.2 seasons worth of data to show that he is a suckass Head Coach. Good coordinator though....but that isn't his job.

How about the Texans win the division with an 8-8 or 9-7 record (no better than their 9-7 non playoff year). Due to a cupcake last half of the schedule and all of our division foes with major problems. They host a playoff game because they win the division but lose. Kubiak is retained because he made the playoffs and all the koolaid drinkers rejoice. Nothing actually acomplished but all remains the same. The nightmare continues.....

That scenario is a MAJOR possibility.

I'd go so far as to say it's a probability.

A playoff appearance, as in a singular game will not make me happy.

I want to win, period.

Was just talking to my husband about this last night. This whole 'playoffs or bust' is bs. Unless we have some kind of epic Texan meltdown, we WILL make the playoffs.

When we do and lose the 1st game, I will be hella pissed and waiting for Kubiaks papers. Although I don't think we will get them

[Double Barrel]

This franchise takes baby steps. It has done this for 9 years. Remember when it was a big deal that they won back-to-back games? Remember when they finally won three in a row? Last year it was the monumental and historic 4-2 start - THE FIRST IN TEXANS HISTORY!! Of course, the 2-8 record that followed kinda' deflated that party balloon.

I fully expect them to make the playoffs and be one-and-done. It's the in the Texans DNA to never over-reach, to never be something bigger than the parts.

But hey, I'll take a playoff spot this year. It's better than the last nine years of nothin'.

That is some flat out damning evidence! 1-18?!?!?!? Hell, I could coach the Texans and probably go 2-17!

Wow! Just wow! This is the stat the sums up the regime better known as FAIL. When your one "quality" road win is against the Bengals, you are a crappy head coach. One of the worst, if not THE worst, in the league.

If I was Bob McNair, I'd fire Kubiak on the spot after hearing this stat. I'd tell him he has two options: take a demotion and become the offensive coordinator or look for a new job. Absolutely pathetic and infuriating!

Even VY thinks this is pathetic.

yeah but Kubiak never had a defense behind him....oh wait, that is on him.

he hired the losers who have been running/drafting the defense (RIck Smith included)

if they go 8-8, win division, and lose first game, then he must be fired but he wont be. i think he even survives 7-9. if he survived last years meteoric fall, I am just gonna assume he has pictures of McNair at a Klan rally or with a 13yr old mistress.

he has done nothing to earn my belief, but were 2-1 and maybe we can fix some of those lingering problems. the team has come out better to start the games...and motivation and getting team ready for the whistle has been a problem I have had with Kubiak for a long time.

The fans better riot. If Houston fans don't get off their asses to go picket outside of Reliant if Kubiak has another 8-8/9-7 whether we make the playoffs or not, I will forever lose all respect for Houstonians.

We have got to stop settling for mediocrity. Our owners trot out **** on a platter and call it steak. It's time we stop gobbling it up!
