Thanks for your support! 🍺😎👍
If you are thinking we should have won by that score I don't agree. The Buccaneers had some incompletions that sacked their momentum. That is momentum that could have led to more points. Points that just as easily could have been TD's and extra points as opposed to field goals.
Wow thanks, I appreciate the fact that you're not blindly supporting OB anymore!
DW4 has obvious issues, but with a HC capable of taking these issues into account I think he can excel. Play to his strengths, not his weaknesses.
Yeah and chug near beer.You know what Maverick and Tex yall are right. Let's hit up the spot and pop bottles. We just won our division again let's celebrate.

Are you sure that's gumbo? Lol. I can smell it and some garlic bread baking
This. So much this. When we consistently are putting our guys behind the sticks you get hero ball from Watson. How the hell our coaches don’t recognize this and call a more balanced attack is beyond me. OB is so stubborn in every decision he makes. I hate him. Can’t wait until the day he is fired.
Doesn’t give the defense much to think about either.
I'm with you until the last two sentences. Against Denver Hop was target 13 with 7 catches 54 %. Versus TB 9 targets with 5 catches @ 55.6 %. He did convert those to 120 yards--because he is Hopkins but against TB had only 9 targets 5 catches 23 yards total. The game indicates he is doing his part but the missed targets are on the QB. Game one N.O. he got 13 targets 8 catches for 8.54 per. He then had only 8, 7, 8, 8 through the Atlanta game and then avg 12 targets with high accuracy through game nine; then against Baltimore 12 with 7 catches 58.3% but yards per reception was 11.5. When he gets targets he either gets yardage or yards per catch. 610 was talking today about Hopkins no longer going deep. Some of that is on OBrien trying to help OLine but when I see ball going all around #10 but not in his catch radius--I have to look at QB.
Anyone hear anything about Hopkins and the flu effecting him? Maybe he was a Shell of himself and a decoy, and with a 70% DHOP and no Fuller things were out of sync. Nuk would never admit it, but maybe he was still suffering
I took that into consideration But doesn't explain Denver then Titans where he was 6 of 8 targets but 120 yards and 20 per catch. In the last five games he was seeing the usual targets of around 8 but his catches were very low. Watching the game, he caught the balls he could so I am not condemning him. If OBrien/Watson is going to limit his targets they need to stop throwing ridiculously short routes. Stills had two TDs versus Tennessee and Carter had 2 for 44 yds IIRC Sunday. How come no emphasis on these guys? I hear that Carter has been in bowwow house but Stills only 9 targets? If Hop wasn't getting it done should not Watson utilyze Stills?
I still say it’s a scheme issue. We don’t use our TEs or RBs like we should. It’s always been like that. So I don’t believe it’s Watson’s inability to do it. OB is just that bad at play calling and design.
Yes......he won his FIRST challenge this season in that game.
No way is Watson that inconsistent. BOB has fielded the same team every season he’s been here in terms of inconsistency and terrible schemes. Watson wasn’t the reason our scheme is inconsistent. BOB has zero feel for calling a game. It’s like he’s playing Madden and just picking one of the 3 suggested plays. The fact our game plan was to force the run on first down against the number 1 run defense tells you all you need to know about this coaching staff. I’m convinced OB calls ridiculous plays just so he can call something to “counter” it later in the game to “fool” the defense. The problem is it doesn’t work. Defenses are on to it. Even the play that was discussed up thread where you said Watson didn’t trust his eyes and should have unloaded the ball. You had 3 wide outs running to the same general area like 12 yards down field. No one was looking for the ball when Watson’s back foot hit because they weren’t far enough into their routes yet. The play is just flawed from the start. Defenses need to be hit at multiple levels. Not deep all the time.
i am not disagreeing on scheme or that HC called play; I'm saying why did Watson miss so many targets? TB alone he sailed several. Darn if I can figure out how that is OBrien or OLine.
Speaking only for me, you begin with misconception first sentence. I and others have repeatedly said Obrien bears some responsibility. I have said I want OBrien gone. I think Watson is smart enough but I just don't like his skills in this offense.. I've posted before I can see him telling CAL after season over how he could have taken this team to SB if he had his QB and Watt (back in 2020). If he could attain that guy (Gordon) plus picks and one or two players for the package I've mentioned, CAL should at least listen. The Texans are the team not one or two players that fans wish the fan could be.
I am not denigrating what Watson has done but what he still cannot do here is my concern. O'brien has changed his offense some to fit #4 despite what folks say. That has benefited Watson but that "what he still does wrong" is glaring. It is obvious that McNair's brought Bill O'Brien here for his plan and ideas of turning Houston into a New England. Most of the moves HC has made like bringing in a playmaking, blocking TE in Fells fits that mould. His moves to bring in Hyde & Duke & Stills also fits. He can say "CAL, look what I've done record wise with a QB that doesn't fit my scheme..if only..". There are at least two QBs (Anthony Gordon and Eason) available in round two that seem perfect. Extra picks/players only strengthen team. If McNair is not firing HC I hope he listens to him as I'm sick of how we play now.
I'm of the camp that a decent-to-good coach shouldn't have to re-scheme massively for every game and his team should be able to impose their will a good percentage of the time. Sure, you make adjustments, but you don't drop out components of your prior success completely.
Correct and why I want HC gone, I just will be shocked if he goes. I think he still has CAL thinking OBrien is going to take us to Patriot level..just needs a NE type QB. It doesn't have to be Brady 2.0 just a Brady type of which we can get in draft if #4 traded.
It does not matter what we think I'm saying it could be what O'Brien thinks and convinces Mcnair. We know HC says that he has not opened up his entire Playbook. Suggests to me he does not think Watson can handle.
