No faith in his offensive line and running back. That's sad. We had two shots at gaining a yard and we conceded that we couldn't get it on the ground TWICE.Is what may lose this game. How can Kubes ok a pass just bothers me to no end.

Kubiak believed he was God. All he needed to do was run it in with Matt or Slaton. Hell, Leach would have been the best choice as he busts heads daily. This loss really irritates me.Is what may lose this game. How can Kubes ok a pass just bothers me to no end.
No he just watched the Raiders DL ***** slap our OL all day and knew we had a better chance any where but up the middle.Kubiak believed he was God.

So he decides to throw it twice? No, I don't care what their DL is doing. Stupid as hell playcalling. Anyone who thinks that playcalling isn't stupid needs to get checked out.No he just watched the Raiders DL ***** slap our OL all day and knew we had a better chance any where but up the middle.
It's either he has no faith in his line (which makes no sense) or he thinks he's an offensive genius, and can out think the other team.No faith in his offensive line and running back. That's sad. We had two shots at gaining a yard and we conceded that we couldn't get it on the ground TWICE.
And that changes with plays like converting a first down on the ground to keep a drive alive down at the goal line. You don't take that away from the defense by just not doing it.No he just watched the Raiders DL ***** slap our OL all day and knew we had a better chance any where but up the middle.
The onsides kick has become a high percentage play against the Texans.Want some trickeration, Kubes? How about you prepare your team to expect onsides kicks? How's about that?
Welcome to the dark side, Jen. It's been lonely over here.I'M DONE with Kubiak. D-U-N. DONE. This guy is a joke of a head coach.
Gotta rep ya. I'm tired of grooming Denver's next HC. I'm tired of one of the worst defenses in the league. I'm just tired of it all.It's either he has no faith in his line (which makes no sense) or he thinks he's an offensive genius, and can out think the other team.
I don't care which one it is. I'm SICK TO DEATH of mediocrity and stupidity. I don't have to be a big fat freakin' 160+ IQ-owning Smarty McSmartypants to know that YOU GO WITH THE HIGH PERCENTAGE PLAY of running the damn ball behind Vonte Leach with freakin' half a yard to go.
I abhor stupidity and poor decision making. ABHOR IT. As in, I hate it. Loathe it. Believe it should be purged from the earth in a great white hot fire. And guess who's "*****" list Kubiak just landed up on. Mine.
I'm done with Kubiak. I want proven winners. Guys who know how to prepare for games and how to manage them. I want coaches who will run it up the gut mercilessly on 3rd and 1/2 a yard. I want coaches who don't "out think" themselves out of games. Kubiak is NOT a genius. He is a gimmick who saw some little bit of success and now he's exposed like a stripper who just had a pasty malfunction.
I sat watching those two third and forth down plays with my mouth agape. I looked like Dom Capers as those two plays unfolded. You're supposed to put your team in the position to win the damn game, not try some trickeration when it's freakin' not necessary. Want some trickeration, Kubes? How about you prepare your team to expect onsides kicks? How's about that?

9 out of 10 times? Did you even SEE the forth down play? They had two, count 'em, TWO wideouts in the end zone with all 4 or 5 Raider secondaries dropping back. They didn't even have a TE release and for a third receiving option!I would have done the same thing. 9 out of 10 times we would have caught one of those, but I really doubt we would have dome anything against a goalline D unless we gave it to Leach again. We need a bruiser type back.
I am there, Lucky. I have come to a state of acceptance of my disdain for Kubes, Smith, et al. I love my Texans and I have an almost unreasonable and inexplicable belief that Schaub is still our QB of the future, but I'm sick of the coaches. I want proven winners now, not coordinators who are making a move up the food chain. Experiment is now over.The onsides kick has become a high percentage play against the Texans.
Welcome to the dark side, Jen. It's been lonely over here.
Because they gave up...I don't believe he was injured, but at the end of the game, he was on the sideline. what's up?
One of things that had happened during the last few weeks was that we did things that good teams do...i.e. run or pass when every one in the building knew you needed to run or pass. NFL players and coaches are not "surprised" that often when you run in a passing situation,etc.No faith in his offensive line and running back. That's sad. We had two shots at gaining a yard and we conceded that we couldn't get it on the ground TWICE.
Yup, we had very little emotion IMO. Without emotion, you don't take it to the other guy.Last week we stood up to a bully, but this week we falled to punch a coward in the mouth.
That is it in a nutshell. I love Slaton, but when this team really NEEDS a yard, or when the other team knows we are going to have to run the ball, it doesn't get done. Kubiak doesn't trust his OL and he doesn't trust his RBs to get that tough yard. And why would he? They've spent most of the season demonstrating that when they really have to pick it up, they can't.No faith in his offensive line and running back. That's sad. We had two shots at gaining a yard and we conceded that we couldn't get it on the ground TWICE.
I'm not sure I agree with that assessment much. The Raiders dared us to run and we didn't get it done. They weren't stacking the box much, and we still didn't run the ball well. Slaton was met in the backfield all day. The Raiders DL just whipped the tar out of our OL. Kubiak just reverted to the one thing we do well, which is pass.One of things that had happened during the last few weeks was that we did things that good teams do...i.e. run or pass when every one in the building knew you needed to run or pass.

Still overall, Kubiak's play calling became pretty predictable in this game. Predictable in a non-agressive bad way that is. Not looking a game log, but it seemed like we passed on 1st down and then ran or made conservative pass on 2nd down. IMO, Oakland is a team you play attitude football against versus get cute and try to trick them. Last week we stood up to a bully, but this week we falled to punch a coward in the mouth.
We only ran Slaton 18 times!! He does most of his damage late when the defense is tired.I'm not sure I agree with that assessment much. The Raiders dared us to run and we didn't get it done.

I'm as confused and frustrated by these calls by Kubiak as everyone else ?
I'd guess his explanation may be something along the lines of him needing to have one of those sessions about staring at himself in the mirror because he's to blame just like everyone else on the roster is.
The real deal here is that the game is meaningless. We're not going anyway this year. And we improved our position in the Draft by losing this meaningless game.
My real concern is that Kubiak might make a bonehead call in a game down the line that has real consequences ? Like playoff consequences ?
Fisher chose not to attempt a long FG due to wind and the knowledgethat Bironas was unable to make FG's from that distance on that side of Reliant Stadium during pre-game practice.Kind of like Jeff Fisher, who chose not to kick the field goal against the Texans last week? EVERY COACH MAKES DUMB DECISIONS! You guys are overreacting. You could also have real concerns that the Texans might fumble or miss a tackle at a crucial time. If they ran the ball on the third or fourth down play and didn't get it everyone would be saying they should have passed for the first down.
Well, games have not "mattered" since before Halloween.This game didn't matter. It didn't matter yesterday or the day before, or today, tomorrow...
Putting this game on Kubiak's calling plays is pretty pointless IMO.
A quick hand off to Leach on third and short and this would be a non-issue. He did it the first time, so let the big guy eat!Re: 3rd and 1/2 a yard.
I kinda agree with you. Everyone has been calling for a bruiser back all year and today in the 15th game of the season Vonta Leach gets his FIRST carry of the year! Yeah, that's utilizing your talent ..... ???I would have done the same thing. 9 out of 10 times we would have caught one of those, but I really doubt we would have dome anything against a goalline D unless we gave it to Leach again. We need a bruiser type back.
QFT... Especially the last statement.A quick hand off to Leach on third and short and this would be a non-issue. He did it the first time, so let the big guy eat!
I really like Kubiak, but will admit he makes his share of mistakes. Hell, all coaches make mistakes every now and then.
I understand Kubiak deserves some of the blame, but the players lost this game.
True, but we're talking about this specific one. Really, if we're going to start pointing fingers we should still be pointing at Richard Smith and his defense. They were atrocious still. I can't believe the talk about letting him off the hook for another year has been circulating AT ALL but hopefully this game puts everything back into perspective for all eyes.Well, games have not "mattered" since before Halloween.
I was wondering the same thing. Kubiak seems to think too much instead of just taking the points and living for the next drive. He did the same thing in the first game against the Titans. It could have been a one score game by the end of that one, too. But Kubiak seems to call plays based upon potential impact instead of looking at percentages.I just wonder why Kubiak didn't take the gimmie fg and make this a one score game. We had the ball a couple of times after that but it was hopeless at that point since we still needed two scores. Perhaps Brown had dead legs and he was saving Kris for da bearz.

That's one of your best posts Joe. I agree.Gary Kubiak has a real problem with running the football when we need to run the football, need I mention the colts game when we passed er fumbled our way to a loss. Not only did we lose it the first time the very next play from the offence was the exact same play jut to fumble it again.
Kubiak is on the Bubble and he should be, his record is terrible and his play calling and time keeping need to be relearned. Come on Gary turn the stinking page over and use some plays on the back PLEEEEEEASE.

a good friend told me at a previous game that he wished that Kubiak would stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room. I think it fits here too.I was wondering the same thing.

Meet the new Texans. Same as the old Texans. We got fooled again.
Why would you kick the field goal on 3rd down?Re: 3rd and 1/2 a yard.
