Thanks for your support!
I really liked how he didn't try to stop the fight. Think he wanted to see our team be tough for a change.
How could he have stopped the fight?
About the only thing he could have done was taken AJ out of the game for a few plays. Short of that not much. I still like it that he gave him a game ball at the end of the game. You can say all day that that was because of the record he set, but that was just as much to put that punk @ss in his place.
I dont think the offense played a very good game all things considered .... but I'll take a 20-0 win against a division rival anytime.

Kubiak? Kubiak didn't even notice the fight. He turns away when anything dramatic is happening on the field.
I think the game ball was for the football accomplishment. Still giving it to him after the ejection was a nod to "way to handle his punk ass".
I doubt we ever see Andre do something like that again; I wonder if other players will try harder to push his buttons though.
Finnegan had it coming for a long time. I think he'll remember those haymakers AJ landed on his melonhead next time .... not to mention the embarrassment of having your ass handed to you on TV.
Im surprised it didnt get a lot uglier than it did ..... considering the frustrations this team has seen over the past couple weeks. I just hope they come out and play with desire against the Eagles ..... They pretty much need to win out to have a shot at the playoffs.

I of course, naturally support this!!
Considering that he gave the game ball to AJ, I have to lose this soap I'm using as an avatar for a while. He just doesn't deserve that this week. Haven't really changed my mind, but I can't do it this week.
Totally support AJ busting the punk. When we play them in their stadium I wish someone would hold up a sign saying "Punch a punk!" I think Aj should get a hefty fine but not suspended but don't see that occuring.
Quin should have received the game ball.
I'm not so sure he didn't recieve one. I read/heard that Kubiak handed out 4 game balls. AJ got the first one, Bush got one. Didn't read/hear who got the other 2 but you'd imagine at least that Quin was one of the other recipeints.
Everything you say is correct but if we gonna boo him we also need to recognize what he does right.Honestly the worst thing we can do is act like Kubiak did something to redeem himself this game. Our playoff hopes are still dashed, and our team is as mediocre as ever. Kubiak needs to be gone by next season and this game, no matter how cool it was, does nothing to change that.

A lot like our corners

So you are Ok with Bob paying Kubiak to not coach next season .... Bring in a new coach and pay him too .....
And the icing on the cake is that we will likely see a strike shortened season if there is one at all next year.
Coaches will have no contact with players during that time. So if the season starts anytime after what would normally be week one .... you are Ok with a new coach handing the team a new playbook and new scheme's a week before game one ?
I can see you spending Bob's money its easy to spend someone elses money .... but I cant see you being so silly as to expect a team to learn a playbook over a weekend ..... and expect them to function like an NFL team.
I simply refuse to engage in speculation about next year's lockout. I have no idea whether or not, or how, it will affect coaching changes, and I don't really care until we find out more.So you are Ok with Bob paying Kubiak to not coach next season .... Bring in a new coach and pay him too .....

Kubiak needs to be gone and for all intents and purposes I'm just going to treat next year like it's just another year. Once I have solid evidence about how exactly next year will affect coaching situations, then I might engage in speculation about whether it makes financial sense or whatever. Of course, I don't really give a **** if it makes financial sense.... it makes winning sense, and that's all that matters to me.

Keeping him for a strike shortened season makes much more "winning sense" than bringing in a new coach....
If there is a quality coach out there right now, looking for a job.... it may make sense to get him when you can.
I am for keeping Kubiak
... if the Texans run the table and win the division. It starts on Thursday night.
Remember what Herm Edwards said .... You play to win the game.
Well, it actually started on Sunday. We needed 6 straight wins to close out the season 10-6. We got 1... now there's 5 left.
If the Texans were to win out and be 10-6, the euphoria would quickly wear off and I'd be right back to where I am each seasonk, worrying about the draft and free agency and which direction the next season would take as I would still have no confidence in Gary Kubiak.
Of all people to pull coaching advice from..... you go to Herm Edwards...
Catchy phrase, funny commercial.... but
C'mon man.
I guess the irony was lost in the text .....
Kubiak? Kubiak didn't even notice the fight. He turns away when anything dramatic is happening on the field.
Long term - you have a point.
Question is , how much does next season mean to you. If you are Ok with pretty much mailing it in and giving that new coach the entire season to put his scheme's in place .... then by all means.

How funny is that people are so desperate to find some sort of props for Kubes at this point that AJ beating some dirty CB's ass makes them proud of Kubes? Like he did a thing in that equation. Lol! AJ is the exact opposite of Kubes. He's a beast that shows up every Sunday.
Amazing that Kubes is in year 5 and people still have faith in a guy that's proven nothing in his career to suggest that he could make this team a consistent winner. He's just done the opposite.
So I suppose you're a proponent for keeping Frank Bush as defensive coordinator, as well? I mean, the Texans can't install a new defense over the weekend.I can see you spending Bob's money its easy to spend someone elses money .... but I cant see you being so silly as to expect a team to learn a playbook over a weekend ..... and expect them to function like an NFL team.

Bob McNair gets his ca$h from me and fans like me. And there's more where that came from, if he makes moves that push this franchise towards winning.

Unfortunately, I don't see the "right guy" out there. I think Cowher would be successful but I don't see him actually here. Just a gut feeling. I am not as sure as others that next season will be reduced much if a lock out occurs. I think McNair hedges his bets and keeps Kubiak at least one more year unless maybe we go 1-4. Just to mention, I think Gruden should take the Miami college job if there is actually an offer. I also do not think Gary has to be replaced. If he were to hire a very good D. C. that can train new players and put a consistent game plan out every week, the team would be a playoff contender. The O. would be alright with only minor tweaking. We have the best WR and as of last Sunday the leading NFL rusher, a decent QB and a very good TE in Dreesen. We should be using the next draft to strengthen our bench. Instead we will be looking for another corner, defensive tackle, defensive end, an OG and probably another linebacker. Surprise, surprise! Oh, I know I only listed 6 picks but we all know we have to leave one round open for another tight end. I hope you notice that I did not mention a free safety in the draft. And if you haven't heard, Anthony Hill TE was activated yesterday.Who would be your succesor choice? Are you a Cowher guy as well?
Very good post! We have basically the same defensive scheme the last four years and have changed DCs. Even if one had to "change over the weekend" I doubt we'd suffer much more than now.This defense is an enigma , Last season they started out horrible against the run and as the season wore on they became very good against the run ..... This is the same defense minus one guy (up until Ryans injury) thats getting torched thru the air ....
I dont like that Bush has the corners play off the LOS almost exclusively and expects them to stay with recievers while the pass rush isnt getting home.
Two other issues with the defense that bug the piss out of me and can probably be blamed on Bush - The LB's inability to cover TE's and RB's.
The DB's getting beat in the soft spots between the CB's and Safeties.
Whats a DC's job other than to make adjustments like that ? Week after week we see teams exploit the same things , Bush isnt making the adjustments .... He needs to go.
Firing a coordinator is one thing and can even be done during the season but firing a head coach changes everything .... not calls on one side of the ball. There's a huge difference between the two.
Keeping him for a strike shortened season makes much more "winning sense" than bringing in a new coach , new systems on both sides of the ball and expecting players to seamlessly make the adjustment on short notice. Unless of course Bob is going to write off next season completely and get his new staff in place for the following year.
As for speculation on a work stoppage - at this point its almost inevitable. Both sides have their demands and neither side is budging ....
The most likely outcome is a shortened season. That could mean they start a week after camp is suppose to begin or they could start in week 4 or beyond.
Not sure if you've been paying attention to what's going on this season but that's kind of the point.Firing a coordinator is one thing and can even be done during the season but firing a head coach changes everything .... not calls on one side of the ball. There's a huge difference between the two.
