I'm not opposed to G. Kubiak leading the Texans to the Superbowl next year. I don't feel our record is a complete reflection of his coaching abilities. I get that we went backwards record wise this year versus last, (tougher schedule)but unfortunately I don't exhibit selective amnesia that many Texan fans seem to be suffering from that removes plays like Schaub's "pick 6", QG's "bat down" and Troy Nolans "tipped pass" from memory. I like to put blame where it belongs, that's just me probably the military in me. I too feel like a coach should be able to call any play any down and expect his offense to execute it, convert it, or score it. I don't have a huge problem with the playcalling like some. I feel a little more attention to detail and a work ethic like AJ's can turn this team around next year. I look forward to a new defensive (possibly scheme) led team that can allow our offense 21 points to win a game. I think this year is gonna help our young secondary progress and sprinkle in a draft pick or FA that group can come together. I personally don't care if Kubiak or Cowher is on the sidelines for the Texans just as long as it's during the Superbowl.
Here is to an outstanding off-season!
I'm sorry, and Jottoz, this is not directed at you personally, but at this line of thinking. It's absolute BULLCRA p. As long as we only lose 53 games, you'll have a different player to blame for each loss. When people say "you can't fire the team" what do you say to that? You named 3 players whom you believe contibuted significantly to the day's loss. That happens every game, win or lose. You can't fire the players. You CAN COACH THE PLAYERS TO be prepared and to play winning football.
Teach Glover Quinn which direction is down. If I had been in Glover Quinn's shoes, I would have grabbed the ball, brough it part way down with me and as soon as I could see that planet called Earth, I would have slammed it as hard as I possibly could to the ground - through hands, away from shoes, to the nearest blade of grass I could find. Why doesn't Quinn know that is the ONLY way to play that ball. Because he wasn't coached to know it.
Why did Troy Nolan tip that ball today as though he was a basketball player trying to tip the ball back out to his basketball guard for another shot? Because he hasn't been coached to do anything else. He hasn't been coached how to defend a pass like that. He doesn't know how to defend that pass.
Why does Sage Rosenfels think that the best course of action on a QB option play is to go air born? Because he hadn't been coached to know it was a horrendous option.
Why didn't Vonte Leach block the correct defender in Jacksonville on the half back pass option? Why did Chris Brown not throw the ball harmlessly out of bounds instead of into the waiting arms of a Jacksonville defender? He hadn't been sufficiently coached as to what to do in case of panic.
Yes, of course the players are the ones who make the plays. The coaches are the ones who make the players. These and so many, many, many other bungels don't happen when the player is properly coached.
I can name all 53 players, each of them coached by the same head coach. Answer my questions.
