For me it's a accumulation of the all the current states of our pro teams.. I'm emotionally washed.. this Hopkins trade wasn't just the straw.. it is the worst thing that happened!! At least the damn Astros got a title, despite how tainted it is..

You don't take weapons away from a young QB, especially his go to guy who is in his same career window.

Cal McNair is a incompetent moron for ever even allowing this franchise to get to this point. We're like a ship drifting out in stormy waters and no one (owner) is at the wheel. Mutiny amuck.

Its like a bad sports dream.
 
I'll tell you what, that all world polo TE drafted better make up for all those one handed snags.

Hopkins is on a first ballot hof career path in his prime.. you don't give that up for what Billy-0 got in return. Hell, you just don't give that up.

Will one of yall slap the **** out of me and tell me that the Vikings didn't really get more for Diggs than we got for Hopkins? That makes no sense so I have to be going completely delusional. Save me from myself.

That's because Bill O'Brien didn't put effort in trading Hop. He got rid of a "problem" because he thinks he's Bill Bellicheck even though he's a dumbass and a failure
 
Got a good night sleep last night.
Fresh mind, hot coffee.
Tried again to make sense of yesterday.
Still Doesn't make sense.
This coming from a guy who despite the bad Clowney trade last year, saw the value in some of the moves made and liked the players brought in.

But this season is off to a horrible start. There really is no other way to view this. With a clear mind however, I can look at OB's player acquisitions and see a common theme. He is bringing in guys who he think will have a chip on their shoulders. Former 1st rounders who never lived up to the hype. Former players with one or two amazing seasons who eventually dropped out of favor. Former players with all the potential in the world hampered by injury. The Houston Texans have been disbanded. We are the NFL's newest team, the Houston Projects.
 
HAHAAAAA ... Seth is going to get fired for sure!! This is rich .. he's attacking every fabric of this regime. Every 5 minutes on his show today he's making it a point to say "Fire Bill OBrien" LOLLL .. they are setting a timer! I wonder if he reads TT!?
 
He doesn’t have to read fan viewpoints. Anyone with more than one brain cell can figure this out.

The real problem is Cal. Which means even excising BOB won’t fix what ails the Texans. Remember when everyone wanted Cal to take over because he would be a better owner then his Dad? Who among us wouldn’t reverse nature’s wrath, resurrect Dad and hopefully return at least a modicum of sanity.

Don’t get me wrong Bob wasn’t a great owner, but compared to his son, Dad was the best owner in the history of football. In short, we’re screwed.

Bob McNair ordered DB traded.

What's the common theme to all of the guys you listed? They all wanted new contracts and the McNair's like their $$$$. (I've been telling you this for yrs.)

DB getting traded was also because of the Kaep thingy.

Until it affects the "Texans Gameday experience" i.e tailgating nothing else matters.
But the Texans know the with PSLs and the long list to get this.. people will continue to have to buy sesson tickets or risk losing the PSL (if memory serves me right on that)

I'd love to have Bob back. :spit:
 
Will still be a fan - I like to watch football, and I not overly emotionally invested in the Texans

(e.g. when oilers or rockets lost back in the day I was miserable, Texans lose I barely feel a blip - and I'm OK with that since life is way more than sports)

But I still do get a knee jerk/gut reaction when I just see stupidity happen. Anyone that has been paying attention should know by now that Bill does NOT have the emotional maturity to be in charge of well anything, the Brady blow up on the sideline should have been everyone's first clue (even though at the time he was praised for going after a HOF'er)

Inability to work with your QB? The OS situation with the blow up in the locker room at halftime - yeah sure OS sucked, but you're the coach YOU are supposed to lead by example

Wanted to cut another QB (Mallet) before a game not thinking of injuries and had to be talked into not making a mistake by Rick Smith - that right Rick Smith

Went after another coach (Larry Izzo) on the sideline of a game - why does Houston get all of the sideline nuts (looking at you Buddy Ryan)

The handling of the Clowney situation - good trade, bad trade, who cares? It was mishandled and made the team worse last year

The yelling at a fan as the team came off the field (probably never a great idea to yell F-bombs and Mother F's at your paying customers) - surprised they got him to apologize

Now the DHop feud ending is clearly a bad trade based on again his inability to not be able to mesh with a star player (how dare you question me?)

He is just emotionally reactionary and unable to keep his 'cool', and his ego (which we have discussed many times on this forum) gets in his own way. This is not the mentality I want in the leader of my organization.

Ultimately this is all on the McNair family - where the hell is Cal and/or Janice - anybody seen them? Do we have a weekend at Bernie's situation?

This is pretty embarassing. I know, the offseason isn't over yet. Texans have the cap space to still do some significant moves. But, the Jags are obviously tanking. The Texans "think" they're improving the team.

Only Bill O'Brien could possibly think the team is improving. I bet every other player, coach and office personnel had their jaws hit the floor when they heard the news.

True, although Janice will have to die before the other kids will want to get their piece of the pie and the Texans will be sold.

Right. HC aside, this is an NFL GENERAL MANAGER acting this way. How he survived that I’ll never know. And remember, this is the guy who wanted to cut Ryan Mallet on the spot and go into a game without a backup QB.

I know there’s a lot of “knee jerk” accusations from some going on around here, but the guy they’re defending is the king of knee jerk. This guy is too much of an emotional hot head to be an NFL GM. Never mind the complete lack of the ability to evaluate talent that he’s shown since he got here 7 years ago.
 
Here's my predicament, and I'm sure there's many others out there in a similar situation:

I'm a season ticket holder since the very beginning. Tens of thousands of dollars invested in tickets alone over the years, and more in merchandise. I can't boycott to show my frustration and displeasure because there's a waiting list of thousands of other Houstonians who would love to weather this storm until BoB is fired or removed. No matter how frustrated we are, there's literally no way to collectively band together to the degree necessary to really make the Texans front office feel the financial pain.

The only thing we can do now is accept that we are the biggest embarrassment of a franchise in the NFL, which is saying a lot considering some of the other dumpster fires out there.

Cal McNair: Come Get Your Boy, It's Over - riversmccown.com

Cal, I understand that it is awfully inconvenient to have things thrust in to your lap. My father, too, is deceased. I had to deal with a trailer in Wimberley, Texas. You have to deal with a professional sports franchise. These are very different things, but they’re each something we have shown...
www.riversmccown.com

3 — Your head coach is going to ask David Johnson to run zone and he’s going to be shocked when it doesn’t work
David Johnson, in 2019, ran the ball in a zone-blocking look 44 times and averaged 3.8 yards per carry. Only four of those carries gained more than 10 yards, and none of them gained more than 20. In 2018, on zone blocking looks, he averaged 3.9 yards per carry on 156 attempts. A main reason behind his success in 2016 was that Bruce Arians put him in a situation to succeed: He ran a lot of gap plays. To put that in comparison with Carlos Hyde — Hyde averaged 4.4 yards per zone run in 2019. (All numbers from Sports Info Solutions.)
Even if we were to completely isolate away the part of this trade where DeAndre Hopkins got dealt for nothing, you can only buy low on a player if he fits your scheme. Bill O’Brien’s high-zone run game is a poor fit for what David Johnson does best. I would be sitting here criticizing this move even if Hopkins hadn’t been part of the deal and the Texans absorbed his cap space for a fourth-round pick.
Johnson is also going to be 29 in December — last legs days for a running back. He’s an excellent receiver, but that’s just duplicating the ability of Duke Johnson, who was a) already on the roster and b) they traded a third-round draft pick for last offseason.
So this part of the trade demonstrates a clear lack of understanding of how the NFL works on multiple levels: old running backs are often not worthwhile, big contracts for older running backs are bad, and an inability to understand why Carlos Hyde was valuable for the Texans last season. Make no mistake that the reported two-year, $10 million offer Hyde turned down will probably be the best offer he has in about two months. Instead of understanding that and letting Hyde go out there and price himself on his own, the general manager is taking a major gamble on a player that was a healthy scratch on the Arizona roster at times last season and who has never shown he can do what the head coach wants his backs to do.

This trade is like hocking a loogie in the face of every Texans fan.
It is trading one of the most-revered players in the city, someone who plays wideout like an artist, away for beans. It is impossible to tell anybody that you’re trying your hardest to win when you make a trade like this, where you give up an All-Pro wideout who you had no financial reason to get rid of.

Only way I know would be costly. And that is for ticket holders to just sit on the tickets and not go. Those of us not ticket holders, purchase a ticket and not go. Let the cameras see the stands empty. Stay in the parking lot, tailgate and raise banners that are explicitly anti-Obrien.

I am adding my voice to petitions to getting him fired and making comments on Texans FB page.
Y'all should - Cal won't listen until we drown out O'Brien's voice in his ear.
 
OB reminds me of the scene from Monty Pythons, The Holy Grail......he's pulling his wooden cart from NFL franchise to NFL franchise yelling, "throw out your dead!!!" "Throw out your dead!!!!" Teams haul down their deadbeat players and ask how much he's charging to haul them away......OB states, it's your lucky day, I'm buying!!!!

Well, so far, the e-mail I sent to the Texans requesting Bill OBrien to be fired has gone unanswered. This is very disappointing, I thought the Texans cared about the fans.

I think Bob did but I don’t see his son giving a crap.
 
Surely, Cal must know that the fans and probably most of the players have no respect for Bill. Surely he must know the fans do not want Bill in the City of Houston. Surely, he will fire him.
