During the game as the television coverage kept on showing Kubiak it almost seemed like he was very anxious right through the game, he didn't look confident at all.
I think that is an issue with the whole team. Matt Schaub looks scared, & has looked scared all year. He's cautious. Too cautious, he's not making his reads & he's forcing the ball. Look at the list of receivers who caught passes last night. That's not the distribution we're used to seeing.
In years past, we played with more confidence...... over-confidence I believe, which led to the wacky come-from-behind Colts/Jags/Tennessee victories, Rosencopter, etc...
Now, we've seem to go way to the other side of the scale.... scared. Even on the defensive side of the ball. Cushing playing a new position, I kinda understand... but Pollard, Wilson, Quin, Diles....... they used to fly to the ball, now they're a step late.
If there is one thing I find unacceptable, is coaching to not make mistakes. IMHO, that's where Capers got this team in his 4th year. Everybody's worried about making mistakes, & not making plays. We end up making more mistakes, & less plays.
Everybody makes mistakes, every team, every player. We say that we have to have short memories, but last years losses were much more memorable than this year's losses. Coaches need to have shorter memories IMHO. Don't start coaching out mistakes..... coach players to play.
