Kubiak and Co. get schooled on a highschool play with the fake punt. Just inexcusable and this parade of bad football someday needs to end.
Just freaking pathetic. I wonder what Kubiak is going to say about that play in the presser? I am sure he will just do some aww shucks routine and change subject.
This team is pure pants right now. How about that 5 yard pass on 3rd and Long. Then you get Walter killed, risk a pick or fumble. If your gonna quit on the drive like Kubiak did, just run the ball up the middle and punt. Kubiak is really having a bad year and if this continues, he needs to be taken out with the trash.

Continuing to kick the ball to the returner we cant seem to tackle.

I wonder if the same people who are PISSING and MOANING about Kubiak's bad coaching in the gameday thread will translate it over to this week's texanstalk.com board conversations on the issue of Kubiak and if he needs another season or not?
Or will they fear getting flamed by the few on here who think it's ridiculous to question the status quo?
One thing we know for sure: McNair gives his coaches and players a lot of leash.

just do anything in that situation. call a timeout, jump offsides, anything. Couldn't they tell that their FB was in as the Punter? The guys aren't even the same skin color much less the same number. Is it that freaking hard to figure out. Just unprepared and listless. Oh man this is just sad. Then after the play Kubiak is standing there with his hands crossed saying nothing. Just flatlining pure usual. You need to get in someone's face after that. The team came out flat AGAIN and it starts up top. This Kubiak era couldn't end soon enough. I guess we have to spot each team a lead before our team even shows up much less competes.
Just utterly and profoundly pathetic...I am going to throw up now.
Where are the Kubiak apologists now? Was the fake punt Ike's fault too?

1. 1st quarter, doesn't call a time out to get proper personnel on the field. Result: A ridiculous TD that will be played on sports shows all week.
2. Bad playcalling by Shanahan/Kubiak in the red zone. Again. Surprised we didn't go for it on 4th down. Marciano & Co. helping Texans fans stay sane. Again.

Yep. They probably were yelling for a TO, but the players were probably confused on what to do. The only thing I blame Kubiak for on that was not going over that kind of situation during practice. A TO should be a no brainer with that kind of mismatch though. I blame the players for that.

Talk your smack when we're in the playoffs.
Otherwise, keep it in proper perspective: We had our FIRST real drive of the year that resembled a real football team. I'l believe we're "better" when I see it sustained over a long period of time, thankyouverymuch.
I don't need to run my posts through YOU to post them.

Besides that fake punt td, i think Kubiak and co's play calling has been great. Andre Davis was only a self trip away from a long TD score and that Slaton out wide play call was brilliant.

You talkin about GP or me?
I'm not telling you how to run your posts. But for the last week and a half you have done nothing but rant about how much we need to get rid of Kubiak. Don't you think on gameday you could at least focus on the game and do your Kubes bashing the rest of the week?

Add another mistake by Kubiak. Playing for the tie when your defense hasn't stopped them in 4 tries in the 2nd half. Kubiak sucks. Period.
The moment we lost that coinflip you saw the writing on the wall. Kubiak just gets outcoached and makes bad coaching decisions on a weekly basis.
Oh, can we finally get rid of Richard Smith? was this game proof enough for everyone and we can finally put the argument to bed. The guy is a horrible DC and still gets a paycheck....
it was nice seeing the team more competitive though but it doesnt change my opinion that Kubiak sucks as a HC and as an assembler of coaching talent. Moral victories are for losers. They played to not lose and not to win. Classic loser football by Kubiak. Make excuses. I don't care. THE GUY NEEDS TO GO!!

how many times will Kubiak have to be outcoached before we realize that he is subpar at best. he is now in the realm of 'bad coaches' as in coaches that are so bad they end up costing you games with their decision making....

Veteran
well if he calls the offense then he did a good job of it today. pretty much scored everytime we got the ball...now if he calls that timeout we would have won the game...i'm not saying probably would have won...or could have won...I'm saying WE WOULD HAVE WON because it was obvious both of these teams don't have much of a defense and the team with a extra chance to score was going to win that game.
defense though...that is just a different story.

yeah we seemed to get beat in the kick return game has well
the Not calling TO when u could obvsiouly see the QB still on the field
letting Fat ass Gerahed run on us like he was VY
what else
coaching in the first half was to consertive IMO
having that ball before half time with 3 time outs and not even trying to get into FG range or take a few shots at the End zone what do we do a handoff to slaton ....

its on Kubiak that our team doesn't come out prepared and ready to play from the whistle, that goes with all 3 sides of the ball. he's responsible to make sure the WHOLE team is ready to play and prepared to perform and succeed.
its on Kubiak that we get outcoached and make coaching blunders on a weekly basis. this week was as bad as last week and last week's coaching job was an abomination.
its on Kubiak that we still have Richard Smith as our DC after 2+ seasons of futility. RS should have already been fired and replaced with someone more qualified and more capable.
its on Kubiak that we played not to lose and played for the tie, fully knowing that we hadn't stopped them once in the 2nd Half. I hope Kubiak realized that because if he didn't that in itself is indicting. You gotta take a couple shots downfield when your on the road. You don't play for OT on the road. Coaching 101.
its ALL on Kubiak. he is the head coach. such is the nature of things.
a HC is only as good as the coaching staff he assembles, and that is where Kubiak falls short and isn't proactive/reactive enough to try and fix things when they are failing.

playing for the tie. or you serious. do you know anything about football. we were on there 35 yard line with 20 sec left. so we throw one into the endzone while they have 6 defensive backs on the field the ball gets intercepted and you b@@@@. we kick a field goal you bi@@@. just over a min left we drive the length of the field and tie the game you bit@@. kubes did make a mistake early on the fake punt and of course we heard you bitc@. i cant get any closer to spelling it out for you but apparantly you @@@@@ a lot.

Scott Linehan, and Brad Childress would like to talk to you about what being a real bad coach is.
Oh yeah, they both were rookie head coaches who came into the HC busines about 3 years ago.

I understand he's the HC, but it is still a team effort with the staff just like on the field. Although the QB has the most impact on the field, he still need the others to do their job.
I don't agree he is outcoached every week...he just has times where he decides to not call a Timeout, call a timeout, or challenge plays.
I don't think Kubiak is the problem, the offense looks good when it executes. We just need a DC to take care of the other side.
Also you play for the tie in that situation, that's not a horrible mistake. If he went for it and didn't get it ppl would be all over him for that TRUST ME. he had a better chance realistically of winning in OT, even when losing the toss it just came down to a 3rd down matt jones play really.

i dont see how running(or a short pass)to get into field goal range was even a question. he barley made that field goal if it wasnt for those few extra yards it probably would of been short. whats the chances of throwing a td pass from that distance with almost no time left, 5%. an incompletion or a sack and we probably never get to ot. i cant believe anyone would have any doubts about the way we played the last minute of the game. i thought we really came through in that situation.

It's not exactly the HCs fault when the defense misses tackles on the QB, or that we got beat in the return game.
And the end of the half? Are you joking? He played that correctly, it was a screen IIRC to Slaton. If that's a big play, then you call a T/O and try to get something. But it wasn't, so at that point, you don't even risk the turnover. If they, as you put it, "[took] a few shots at the end zone", that would be a huge risk of turning the ball over and giving the Jags a chance to return it to the house.

keep making excuses...par for the course around here since 2002
we played not to lose. is there even a debate about that? you take a few shots in the endzone to try and win the freaking game. our defense is such that you can't count on them to do anything but lose football games for us....which they did, thank you very much.
KUBIAK MUST GO!!

You really believe that he should have tried to win the game in regulation?
I mean if we did not get the TD everyone would have been complaining about that...either way Kubes loses in situations like that unless his team wins the game...then he's a genius.

It's Jack Del Rio's Jedi mind trick hold over Kubiak is all I can figure. This isn't the first time he's done this. On a side note, this loss is squarely on the D in my opinion, I think that would be pretty hard to argue against. I guess you could say that's Kube's fault as well because he didn't run up and kick Smith's ass like someone else already mentioned.
Calling timeout would have removed the element of surprise and the Jags would have backed out of the fake. They would've either punted or ran a play with their offense. Kubiak's response proves that he doesn't get it.

Seriously.
And he says he expected special teams aggressiveness yet has his punt return team out there to "stuff the play".
Give me a break. Seems Kubiak and his coordinators need to go back to school.

Yeah, when I saw him say that I was dumbfounded, he would've been much better off if he just lied and said they tried to call a timeout
If I was Bob Allen, I would've said........"excuse me for saying this coach, but that just doesn't make any sense".
I'm quickly losing all hope that Kubiak is going to learn how to manage a football game, he's horrible at challenges (challenges plays that have no damn chance at being overturned and swallows that flag on obvious ones) and is now allowing other coaches to make a fool out of him. I mean year 1 and 2 I kinda let it slide, because he was a new head coach so I just chalked it up to a lack of experience, but it's year three now.
