O'B is here to stay because we have an owner that won't do anything unless we go 2-14.
He should have been way more prepared than what we saw on Sunday. The whole "it's not my job to call a timeout" still irks me.
Is this a common core math thing? Texans were 4-12 last year right?
A lot of us were puzzled.
And it needs to be a "HOLY CRAP, WHAT A HELLUVA TURNAROUND" kind of turnaround. 9-7 does NOT count as that. I've never been a big proponent of regime changes, but OB has shown that he isn't capable of learning from his mistakes or changing. I guess that Brown education convinced him that he already knows everything.
The dig was more at OB because he qualified to go to a good school than because he went to a good school. " I qualified to go to Brown, so I'm smarter than all of you Alabama players/coaches/scouts." is how O'Brien seems to coach/his players/ his assistant coaches/ his GM
Belichick had the good sense enough to hire a good OC and let him do his job.
The truth of this is painful.
someone mentioned it already, but it felt like every pass play was a damn 20 yard route. Waiting and waiting for someone to come open. Pissed me off to no end.
Yes. And one in particular that I remember. It was 3rd down and Watson threw to the left at Ellington, low and away. It hit him in the hands but would not have been a first down. Hopkins was in trail mode behind him and was wide open between the hashes.
Right. Watching the 1st half all 22, that was absolutely the case. Watson just wasn't pulling the trigger for whatever reason. And he actually had time to throw quite a bit.
Did you watch the game or just read the box score? The game was 24-6 at one point. The Texans did a better job in the second half, especially on D, but they were thoroughly outplayed by the Pats. OB has a penchant for slow starts to seasons. Most on here have far more of a problem with OB than the team itself. I fully expect DW4 to look better as the season goes on. 1st game in 10 months or so and only 8 games total for him. I expect the OL to at least marginally improve also. The defense definitely shook some rust off and Sunday could be interesting since the tAcks have injury issues at both tackles spots and at QB.Funny how everyone is talking about the Pats not playing that well, and bitching like crazy about the Texans. A bunch of you bring up the Texans TO's and also in the same breath bring up the Pats TO's as if the Texans got lucky for the Pats to have TO's. That has got to be some of the dumbest stuff I've read from posters in here. How did the Pats get their TO's? WE CREATED THEM. The Texans defense did that by swatting the ball down and Badger getting a nice INT. We also had a nice FF on Gronk and got great Field position on the other score after a TO. Funny how people get all upset about the offensive TO's, but give our own defense no props for the TO's they created that KEPT THEM IN THE GAME. There were positives from that game. I'm sitting her wondering why all these "sky is falling" folks were thinking before the season and where were you guys in calling the Texans to win the SB?? Huh? All of a sudden this team ran by a 2nd year player coming off injury is SB or bust?I'll bet after they beat the Titans the same guys will be acting like Watson is MVP already again.
Our money at work!!!
I'm not as down on the entire franchise as you seems to be, but I have had enough of OB. Just not sure who he should be his replacement.

I don't think the franchise awards mediocrity as much as it disdains change for the sake of change. The best franchises in the NFL have a record of changing HC/GMs the least. I firmly believe that McNair wants to build a winner. I also firmly believe that the current economic environment makes it so painless to field a winner that it is easier to hang onto a HC/GM than in different eras.Not so much down on the franchise, just pragmatic about it. Seems like mediocrity is baked into the DNA of this organization, and it starts at the top. They reward mediocrity, and have since the beginning.
I'll never quit being a fan, but I'm not going to lie about it being a very consistent entertaining product. Apathy and lack of hope about long term success just leaves me "meh".
I'm pretty sure this is similar to the corporate mission statement of Houston Texans, Inc.
If this is the case, a good owner will discern this and act accordingly. I think the McNair's are good owners and will act accordingly. No harm, no foul if they fire OB next year. It hurts the bottom line, but could be negated with what is considered a good hire and doesn't affect the cap.
