I agree, not good enough. My response is to people saying that Bush & Kubiak don't have a clue, that they aren't doing anything to try to fix this.
They don't have a clue! This team has had the same problems for a long time, to varying degrees of ineptitude. No secondary worth a damn. What was Kubiak and Co.'s solution" To go young.
They have no clue. The team has needed safeties forever. Kubiak's answer? They're fine with the safeties they have.
They have no clue. We've needed a big DT that eat space in the middle and create space for the linebackers and take a little heat off of Ok0ye and the ends. Kubiak's answer? Draft another smallish DT that supposedly penetrates.
They have no clue. The secondary is so awful that NFL record books are only just beginning to fathom how bad they are. Kubiak thinks that Jason Allen, a guy they picked up off the waiver wire last week, gives them a greater chance to win than Molden, who is in his 4th year with this team and was a 3rd round pick. If Kubiak's right, then Molden should not even have a roster spot.
They have no clue.
And they aren't doing anything of substance to fix the problem now because they can't. They made their bed and now they (and we) have to lie in it.
They have no clue.
No, there is a big difference between playing like crap & losing, & playing well and losing.
There was a time (a few games ago) when the soapers were all, "It's not about losing, it's about how we lost."
We've been playing better for the last 4 weeks (Jacksonville was the exception)..... we just haven't been winning.
That will come.
No, they're still playing like crap and they're still losing in spectacular fashion. If they had gone out and just gotten their asses handed to them against the Jets (or anyone else), that's one thing. It's a sad thing to be outclassed, but at least you know where you stand. This team, however, continues to find new and interesting ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. So yeah, it is the way they've played, and it is how they lose games. When Kubiak went 6-10 in his rookie year, no one bitched about it because they were doing about what was expected of them. The first 8-8 season was the same way. Once you build a team and put some talent on the field, expectations go up. That doesn't mean on any given week you can't get your hat handed to you; it's the NFL. But the Texans redefine FAIL every week.
And if giving up 400+ yards and 30 points every damn week is not "playing like crap", then you seriously need to pass and stop bogarting, man. And the overwhelming majority of the time, the offense comes out and plays like total crap the first half, putting the team in a hole it doesn't need to be in. That's playing like crap. If you divide the game into four parts - defensive 1st half, offensive 1st half, defensive 2nd half, offensive 2nd half - then this team flat out SUCKS for 3/4 of the game.
Seriously man, if you were any kind of a decent person, you'd see your fellow Texans fans suffering and pass over some of that really good **** you must have. Share, man!
