Is this the most talented team we've ever had ?

[JB]

Yeah right. 2011, for instance, was infinitely more talented than this mediocre group.

Let's see.....which is the better 4some here: Osweiller-Miller-Hopkins-Griffen.....or Schaub-Foster-Dre-Daniels. One was a top 5 offense in the NFL before Schaub was injured, the other is the last ranked offense in the NFL according to advanced statistics. Which one do you go with?

Or let's compare this garbage 2016 OL of Old washed up injured Brown-bust 2nd rounder Su'a-Filo-Mancz-Allen-Newton or 2011's powerhouse line of Prime Brown-Briesel-Myers-Smith-Winston. This years line is not even in the same stratosphere as 2011s.

Look at all 53, not just 9... look at the defense not just the offense

Also take into account we're talking about three games.

Here's something pretty neat. As of 3 games, with a 2-1 record, the Houston Texans are dead last in the NFL in Points (32nd), 24th in Yards, 27th in Pass Yards, and 13th in Rushing Yards.

The sky isn't falling, but there's fog on the ground.

At this point, we have no idea what the talent level of this team really is. Lots of players enter the NFL with "potential" that never pans out. This roster looks like it could be really good, but we have to wait to see if that appearance translates to success on the field. How much of what we have seen on the field offensively can be attributed to an offense that hasn't gelled yet and how much is players who have "potential" that doesn't play out on the field is yet to be seen. It is my hope that this team can play up to our high expectations. I choose to remain cautiously optimistic.

I'm no longer a Texans fan but I still want to talk football or rant....That out of the way....

My disdain for OB as a coach has nothing to do with Kubiak. I wanted Kubiak gone for a while before it finally happened. Matter of fact I still don't like him as a head coach but he's probably grown some since leaving here.

As far as that **** show of a game this past Thursday, that was all about coaching. Period, the end. All the Oline stuff, Brock the lock, invisible Watt, fumbles....whatever.

If you switch the coaching staffs of those two teams and gave them the exact same available personnel Belichick would wipe his ass with OB again.

Belichick would've had that rookies head spinning and committing dumb mistakes and on offense he'd have marched the ball up and down the damn field.

The Texans won their first two games, BECAUSE of timely plays made by the talent on the field. The sorry ass Bears gave them all they wanted and that Chiefs game could've gone either way with a break here or there. The talent on this team is really good. Brock may not be an elite QB but he can win games against good teams with a damn coach that knows what they are doing.

OBs gameplan offense is **** and there is nothing innovative or game changing that he's doing. The most creative he got was the damn WattCat and that was the ugliest **** I've ever seen.

Other than that he's done nothing but make the playoffs in the AFC south when it was statistically THE WORST it's ever been.

There is something wrong at the core of the Texans organization. Coaches and players that are good in other places come here and look like crap. We rarely if ever get a guy who has underperformed elsewhere and then comes here and plays better. Seems like a whole lot of players over the years have come here and sucked. Not even been average. Just flat out SUCK.

That loss on Thursday was like thinking you are putting a fine piece of candy in your mouth only to bite down and realize it's candy coated feces and vomit. The only way that team gets better is if OB gets better. Gelling on offense, injured players coming back...that ain't gonna help.

No matter what team is made available this coaching staff is capable of being embarrassed on any given Sunday.

Again, it wasn't just the one game.

OB has been completely embarrassed 4 times in the last what 12 games? That is 1/3 of the games that an OB lead team has come out and been completely dismantled. That is not even counting the first game of last season against the Chiefs. His wonky QB decisions were no help either.

He talks a good game about attacking opponents weaknesses and being "multiple", but so far I've not seen this come to fruition which leads me to believe that is what he wants to do (like Belichick) but he doesn't really know how to do it..At least no where near on a consistent basis....

Last year he won the AFCs pretty much because the division was terrible. I went and looked and it was the worst the division has ever been as a whole and by a good margin.

I addressed the Steelers thing in another thread. I don't think those two situations are the same. And I don't think anyone in America does.

You probably don't either if you actually ask yourself, "who is more likely to bounce back from their blowout loss, the Steelers or the Texans?"

Answer is pretty easy for me.

5 times in the last 14???


OB is staying true to his 1/3 embarrassments.

This is quite possibly one of the most talented teams we've ever had, yet still a bad team. I'm really getting tired to trying to be optimistic about this franchise, especially now that I have to hear about the Packers non stop from my gf and her family.
