I didn't realize that Foreman was not going to play this year.
I didn't realize that either
Would have been nice to get Tevin Coleman.
By now we should all understand

Its not so much they suck as it is they are either a 30+ year RB or they are not a real improvement over Miller when you compare their value to their price tag. Doesn't help that our O line is, shall we say, untested and unproven right now. I will also grant you that BoB tends to try and use Miller as a power back, which he is not, so unless we got an actual power back I think you'd see the same thing. I wanted Bell but that didn't happen because A) we don't play the Steelers enough and B) he convinced the Jets to overpay so much even they started questioning their offer. I would have also been ok with taking Jacobs at 23 but again didn't happen.

" O’Brien said he’s always been involved in personnel decisions with Texans."
Tweet from Brian Smith earlier.
Can't be. I was told poor poor widdle Bill O'Brien has no say in his players and no responsibility for his quarterbacks and "you try winning with Brian Hoyer!" and all sorts of other excuse-ridden trash and only just by the grace of God was able to get Watson oh wow.
This guy is the ******* worst person ever.

This just cracks me up. Then he was the reason DW4 didnt start week 1, he the reason for OZ etc. I cant stand that this guy thinks were all idiots. Never mind that we dont understand how hard it is to win in this league
Seriously the members of this forum could brach off into different sections and we could run this operation better than these guys
May be the worst coach, but I doubt it... I was around for Hugh Campbell... but you being in California I doubt you ever met the man or have any idea what kind of person he is. Speaks highly of you to cast aspersions like that though
Bill O'Brien winning percentage in the regular season ranks 18th among current NFL HCs.
https://www.footballdb.com/coaches/index.html
Combine that with a 1-3* playoff record, I don't see any reason for anybody to defend him.
Mediocre is a very lenient term to describe him, I'd say.
Fire O'Brien already.

Eh, 3 coaches ahead of him have only one season. You can make data say anything you want it to say. For instance, O’Brien is ranked in the top 10 among current NFL HC’s for playoff appearances and division titles.

All you have to do is watch the games. Incoherent. Even the wins are a complete and utter struggle where we look like trash. It's why we constantly get rocked by actually-good teams. Because the way we win is not sustainable or real.

That's why I use the eyeball test and have such a low opinion of OB's ability to coach a football team.
Agreed on the coaching staff, but the same can't be said about the team until they play some football.

Roster we can't judge until we actually see them in some games. Coaching staff I'd say we broke even, Devlin shouldn't be anywhere near an Oline but the addition of Carl Smith to help out Watson may just balance that out.

Yup, this dude simply doesn't pass the eyeball test. I've been watching football since the late 70's. I know what a well coached team and a well coached offense looks like - this ain't it.
I have no faith that this guy can get this team to the promised land.
I do sincerely hope I'm wrong though.

I would say they overhauled the weak links on the team, secondary and oline. To say status quo is unfair. Until they play I don't know if better or worse, but you don't revamp what is working so much, so at least they went after the weak links. I like what I hear so far with the Andre Johnson, TJ, Cushing etc. Seems these guys have parked their egos and are making a difference. Can we just start the season faster than usual, that will be a key for me. Also, on coaching I liked bringing in a new experienced QB coach to help the offense and oline if he moves DW4 to the next level. All just hope for now...
Our only hope is we warp into Bizarro world.
I posted this before but to compare apples to apples here is a list of all the head coaches with 5 or more years coaching. This is regular season only.Bill O'Brien winning percentage in the regular season ranks 18th among current NFL HCs.

Let that sink in Texans fans, Jason Garrett is significantly better. And the two below only have jobs because one has a SB ring and a picture of Al Davis in the mascott uniform with a goat. You never knew pirates wore chaps huh?
Ive heard of addition by subtraction..... which would have been awesometo see this offseason..
Unfortunately in typical Houston fashion... we subtracted the wrong factor.

Was that the game he left Arian Foster in too long for literally zero reason and then Arian Foster blew his Achilles and never played for us again?
Next year will be year 3 of a 4 year rebuild.
Or does the clock reset in 2021 when the new GM gets a full complement of picks? Because the new GM will miss the 2020 draft.
Not at all.
It's going to take 3 yrs to fix the mess RS left behind. We're currently on yr 2, wish there was a GM because that may make this a 4 yr rebuild whether BOB is here or not.

Bwhahaha here we go again blaming RS. Too funny. Even though Bill O'Brien just said again that he was apart of the decision making since day freaking one.
So OBrien gets an extra year because he went on a wild goose chase for Caserio
Unfortunately probably yes.

So it's ok for you to say it's year two of a 4 year rebuild (because that is exactly what your last sentence says) but not for me to predict you will say it's year 2 of a 4 year rebuild (because that is exactly what I was saying... & here we are).

I guess this is a referendum on what shape RS left the team in.
This is yr 2 of a 3 yr rebuild. Without a GM who knows what's going to happen. This org is a clusterfvck.

You do not know if he has been offered another GM job or not. So please let's not state things as facts. Dude probably doesn't want to work in the NFL anymore, especially since his wife passed away . Plus he is rich already
Crazy how you were clamoring about how weak the schedule was way before that season started. But want to use it as some sort of great thing when you're skitting all over RS. But what about those two years we went 10-6 and 12-4 with RS.
