Im disappointed in how we ran the ball, Kubiak said today. We didnt run it very well at all.
He obviously doesn't realize the Dolphins were the #3 defense against the rush last year.

Kubiak: "We did not play well on special teams. We didn't cover well, we didn't return well." #Texans
Kubiak: Dolphins ran a lot of stuff offensively we hadn't seen to start the game. Defense settled down once they adjusted
I caught the last bit of his segment on 610 today and he didn't sound happy. He kind of forcibly mentioned how we couldn't run the ball well, the opening possession in the 2nd half and the need to stuff it down the opponent throats even when they know what's coming.
Think it's just Kub's way of letting the players know they have to step it up.
Yep, and I like this from Kubiak. Stay on these guys. None of that Daddy Kubiak stuff. There were a lot of mishaps in the first half and it's a concern.
Good job Kubiak. Stay on top of these guys.
Just like many of us, kubiak understands that this is his best team with the best chance to go far. a couple of years ago, he would not have been as disappointed in the exact game. he is not just playing the Dolphins here, but also projecting that execution and effort against the Ravens or Patriots. I don't think it was good enough on Sunday, and apparently neither did Kubes.

Does this mark the beginning of the end of "it's on me, guys?"
There are no participatory trophies in football...I'm glad Kubiak is now calling things out that need improvement and holding the players responsible for their performance.
He's done so from the get go .... tho usually behind closed doors.
I think whats changed is the expectations - both his and ours. So long 2-14 .... glad you are many years in the rear view.
He realizes it .... he just expects this team to perform .... Credit to the Fish tho.
You've come a long way from your pink soap days .... So has Gary as a coach.
ah wth .... have some rep.
Yeah I agree that it wasn't a perfect game, but it was a good first game. I heard some delirious things on the radio today. For example, someone actually wanted the Texans to draft a QB next year in the 1st round next year and hope that he'll be better than Schaub. I think there's some major overreaction going on among the fans. If we're playing like this mid point in the season it'll be a cause for concern, but as of today I'm happy with the win.
Hey, I'll give him his due when he is saying strong things and trying to keep the team focused. Good for him. I'm still not a Kubiak guy, but I'm going to always root for our team either way. I like this from him though. We had a big win, but we had a lot of holes that need to get fixed. Kubiak seems to recognize this, and I'm happy to see it. Go Kubes!!!

Whether you're a Kubiak guy or not, Hallelujah!! You actually had some ballz to give him his due....... FINALLY!!! I'm sure next week, you'll figure out a way to kill him again.............
Over/Under, anyone on that????

Maybe they came out too amped up - expecting too much of themselves ... Thats a serious possibility. Having played College sports , alibet back in the stone age , I can attest to that being a factor.A Kubiak coached team comes out flat, plays MAYBE one good half and generally lacks intensity. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.
Kubiak's game management has me scratching my head again...why go for the long field goal in the first half? This is the kind of %^$% that got Kevin Gilbride punched back in the day. Our defense is playing pretty well at that point despite some issues against the run...why leave them out to dry by giving Miami a short field?
Kubiak makes a poor decision on a challenge...great effort by Jean but he didn't go to ground with the ball! Seemed like a pretty obvious drop to me.
I'm glad we won....beating ANY NFL team by 20 is quite an accomplishment. But the first quarter and a half was VERY painful to watch and I hope our future victories don't require a total meltdown by our opponent. I like exciting football games as much as the next guy, but I'd really like to enjoy an end to end dominant performance for once rather than sitting there and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Other less talented teams manage to pull that off from time to time.
Didn't read through the entire thread, but I think I'd be unhappy too if my team couldn't punch it in with a 1st and goal from the 7 and a 1st and goal from the 3.
Disagree 1000 percent AT. I don't want to watch a season of sloppy wins; that is what competition is about to get better. Wins are good only if they mean something. I don't want to have an empty award for anything.And we all should be happy with the win. the first order of business is to collect bunches of wins no matter who, how, when etc.
Agreed. Our "system" from goal line should be 'Clutts clears obstacles in path of Foster'. He doesn't need much time to learn that. He is a vet. Put him in and tell him which side to run to as he blocks.You know, I don't remember seeing Clutts out there (except STs). He probably wasn't yet up to snuff on our system. But I have a hard time believing that not having a real FB anytime in the running game didn't have a significant negative impact on our rushing attack, especially on the 2 RZ/"goal line" situations.

The first criteria for getting into the Superbowl tournament is the number of wins. they don't start asking who and how much until a team does not have more than its rivals.
while i will criticize , want to see imporvement here and there along with other stuff, dominate wins and statement games are largely bunk. Ugly counts the same as pretty. Just keep adding to the win column and the Texans will play enough meaningful games in January.
I saw the right side of the oline get blown up way too much yesterday, especially in that series after Andre set us up at the 3yd line. They have to get much better starting this week.
Sounds like a Cowboy fan.
Who by the way don't know what it feels like to watch meaningful games in January.
just say'n
