1. My only satisfaction, right now, is in watching Brian Cushing play football at a high level. I actually enjoy watching our defense more than watching our offense. Because we saw our d-coord yank some under-performing DBs, trade a lazy-ass DT, and he just lets his players play. Kubiak doesn't play the better players, gives way too much favoritism to Walter and Anderson at the expense of Jacoby Jones (who just has HUGE YAC when he gets the chance). There's only one side of the ball that intrigues me right now, and it's not Kubiak's side of the ball--His "turtle-shell" attitude, when we get a lead, is beyond the pale. You can see the whole offense just go into a trance and become totally incapable of sustaining drives because they, too, know that they're not trying to score--not trying to take a chance.

2. If your field goal kicker is responsible for tying or winning games, as has been the case for Kris Brown, then your offensive production sucks rocks. It means you need a foot of a guy--a guy who kicks a damn ball, and thats IT--then how can you blame the guy for missing some? I've seen a lot of Kris Brown bashing, but the truth, to me, is that Gary Kubiak needs to figure out a way to beat teams by scoring touchdowns and by sustaining drives to eat the clock.

Instead, we throw a halfback pass with CHRIS Brown at the controls? LOL.

Kubiak stubbornly, at the cost of his own TEAM on gameday, treats Jacoby Jones like he has leprosy (in terms of playing WR) so that we can get 5-yard curls and slants out of Walter and Anderson?

Kubiak and his GM fail to give Cedric Benson just a few more million, and the promise of lots of snaps, because Steve Slaton is now a superstar and will never get hurt? There are some garbage free agent running backs out there, and we've had a history of signing a lot of them (Gado, Dayne, etc.) but we can't pursue and SIGN a guy like Benson?

Kubiak can't beat his divisional rivals? That gives the owners of the Colts, Titans, and Jags a reason to keep their head coaches--That's a guaranteed 2 wins for each team in our division each year!

The guy is going to do the same freaking thing next season that he has done for the past four seasons. Evolving into a better head coach doesn't take this long in today's NFL. It operates at FedEx overnight rates. Period.

Builds a great offense, stabilized the Texans, but has had four years to reach 9-7, even with a gift of a schedule that he had this year.

Yeah, I'd say that I'm pretty jaded right now. We're looking at one final game that's in no way an easy game, then it's going to be a long run-up to another "satisfying" season with Gary Kubiak at the helm. I'm just brimming with excitement.

Like I said, I've become a fan of Frank Bush and his defense. I think there's more leadership on that side of the ball. I think there's an identity there that the offense doesn't have.
Click to expand...

Most of this is spot on. I'm not sold that Frank Bush is and will be some great DC though. The defense has been improving though and that's a good sign for now.

As far as Brown the kicker goes, it's more ridiculous to me that Kubes simply refuses to bring in some other kickers and at least work them out and see what other possible options that we might have. His stubbornness to keep Brown in there when so many games come down to FG's is the typical bullshit that he's done a lot in his tenure along with the other Brown as well. Kris Brown has been a damn good K for a lot of years now, but he's been dreadful this season and Kubes should have checked out other guys a while back and Brown still keeps missing.

You have to take into consideration the team that we are rooting for here. This is an extremely talented team, but they don't play like it. Everyone knows they're talented, except the players and the coaches. The fans know and believe it, but they don't.

As a result, they have played inconsistent, and has seriously broken a lot of spirits this year. All of those fumbles at the goal line has worn us out mentally. The Monday Night loss sucked the life and spirit out of this fan base, and the three subsequent losses to division rivals only made it worse.

I think what you're seeing is a fan base that simply doesn't want to get it's hopes up. I have little faith in Kubiak's ability to coach us to the playoffs, and yet I'm also scouting out air fares and hotel rooms in Boston for next weekend (in case we get the Pats in the first round).

The team has massively underacheived this year. Even Kubaik will tell you that if you asked him. At this point, I think fans are simply saying "I'll root for you guys, but you have to show me the W's before I get crazy".

That's fair.
Click to expand...

This is exactly how I feel.

I cant believe tharwith a very talented team 9-7 or 8-8 is good enough for some fans.

Kubes said before the year that this was the year they were going to make the playoffs and there would be no excuses.

Yet the excuses are begining from management and the fans.

For the people that say firing Kubes will set the team back 2 years I have this ? If the team doesn't make the playoffs next year and they get rid of Kubes does that mean a new HC wont be able to get the team into the playoffs for 2 more years?

A new regime wouldn't take long to retool this team. The thought that the OL would need 2 more years to rebuild is wrong. Winston and Brown can play OL in any system and the interior of the OL needs to be replaced anyway. IMHO

The only reason to keep Kubes is if you think he can win a Super Bowl and so far with his personnel decisions (C.Brown) and coaching decisions (HB pass and lining an erattic (SP) K up for a long FG when there was time left on the clock to gain more yards, Use of TO's and play challenges) I dont think Kubes is the guy to win this city a Super Bowl.

BTW does everybody realize that the offense has scored 9 points total in the last 3 games in the 2nd half?

Rant Over
 
Hm, I got kind of a simple question though..

Who would run our offense if Kubes left?

Little S? I don't think hes earned his blood wings yet, I dont wanna let him fly.

I agree with you that there is no difference between 8-8 & 9-7. I'll go a step further & say there is no difference between 9-7 & 7-9.

How can you say that when there are FIVE AFC teams right now with 8-7 records that are competing for two wildcard spots? There is a HUGE difference between 9-7 and 8-8 when it's a matter of securing a playoff position.

Not to mention a 9-7 record or better defines a winning season, which we have never experienced as Texans fans.

Look, I'm not the biggest Kubiak fan and have my own list of huge concerns about him as a HC. But be that as it may, I'm a Texans fan first and foremost, and I want to see this team finally get over that little hump of "first winning season". It bugs the crap out of me that we are in year 8 and we have yet to jump that particular hurdle.

It is possible to root for the team without being a fan of the HC.

The standard should not be set that low. If that were the case, we'd have

Don't take the comment for more than it said. With the exact same coaching decisions this year this team could be 2-4 games better on record due to their own failures. They can beat any team. Maybe (mainly conjecture) better coaching would have resulted in a couple more wins. So my statement remains correct - if the team plays to its potential it can bang with any team as currently coached.

Spare me the Capers comments as they just make you look absurd. Capers couldn't sniff the current team.

Wow. I didn't know that. That's pathetic.
Click to expand...

Pathetic in and of itself. But when you look at the big picture, there were some games we didn't score any in the first half, and a bunch in the second half.

The Jets game, Schaub came out slow, unconfident, and just plain flat. (Not just Schaub, but he runs the show). We didn't start getting into rhythm until later in the game.

Against Tennessee, we scored 24 in the first half, & 7 in the second.

Against Arizona, 0 in the first half, 21 in the second.

Cincinatti, 14 in both halfs. 0 in the 4th Qtr

Buffalo, 6 in the first half, 25 in the second.

Indy(1) 3 in the first half, 14 in the second.

Tennessee 14 in the first half, 3 in the second.

Indy 20 in the first, 7 in the second

Jacksonville 7 in the first half, 11 in the second half.

Seattle 24 in the first half, 10 in the second half, 0 in the 4th Qtr

St Louis: 6 in the first half, 10 in the second half. I think this is the only game we scored in all 4 Qtrs.

I remember a stretch where Kubiak was saying we had to figure out how to get it going in the first half. With a three game streak of 1st half scoring, hopefully he can cross that off his list, & move on to scoring in the 4th Qtr.

Remember 2006 I think when we couldn't score in the 3rd Qtr?

I'm a huge fan of the HC.

I want a 9-7 season. I'll be at Reliant hoot'n & holler'n to help get us there, regardless whether Brady, Welker or Moss play. As a matter of fact, I hope they show up, and we run up 21 points on them in the first Qtr, that they give up, & sit their starters down.

But I don't think 9-7 says we are a better team, than if we had finished 7-9 this year, which is just as possible as us being 10-5 right now.

I think this is a much better team than we have ever fielded. I wouldn't have thought any different had we finished 7-9, & I would have kept my mouth shut about what 12-4 meant.

Except with this Texans team, we're trying to eek out regular season wins via a field goal.

It'd be interesting to see how many times the Patriots had to resort to the leg of their field goal kicker in order to tie or win a game.

In the Super Bowl, you're facing the other conference's BEST team. Not bottom dwellers. It's natural that the Super Bowl might come down to a field goal attempt.

These Texans are led by a bad gameday coach. Period.
 
A lot of you guys are scared to jump on Kubiak because he's going to be back next year.

LOL.

It's just going to be another season like the previous four.

AND....it's going to alienate the players and probably do more harm to the team than the good that could come from saying "Thanks for stopping the bleeding, Gary, but we need a coach who can inspire and lead the team when the games matter the most."

I saw what I needed to see when David Carr couldn't get over the hump in his last season here. It was obvious.

It's obvious, to anybody here who is being truthful, that this coach has hit his ceiling with THIS team, and he needs to leave.

There'll be one more year of podium-tapping, "It's on me..." pressers.

Bank on it.

You mean kind of like the Patriots eek'd out a win against the Texans on a Vinateri kick in OT when we went 5-11? - and they went on to win the SB.

Good arguments have been made against Kubiak. That wasn't one. You made a bad argument. Period.

Says you contrary to every player who has spoken on the subject. That's actually one of the things that has me leaning toward bringing Kubiak back - the players want him back.

I understand where you are coming from, but I guess I see it differently. This is a results-driven league, and cream tends to rise to the top. We qualify better teams over mediocre teams by win/loss records, so while there might not be much of a difference between 9-7 or 7-9 in terms of talent, I think there is a difference in terms of the collective will to succeed as a team.

Just use this week's game as an example. The Texans are more than capable of competing with the Patriots. What is the intangible(s) that will motivate them to win and secure a 9-7 record? It's something beyond the collective talent of the team. It's what separates the better teams from the mediocre teams in the NFL, IMO.

To piggy back on this, the Patriots used him for 20 game winning kicks between '99 and 2005 (which included the game Cak mentions above). That's a lot of eek'd out games.

As an aside, the other Super Bowl team from that season lost to the Texans. Just sayin..

It's not that Casserly didn't get Capers Talent.

Capers had a 4 year record of poor performance in developing young talent.

Did we get any picks at all for anyone Capers coached?
Was there ever any player worth franchising? Other than AJ?

Did we get any compensatory picks for loosing any talent?

We've got three recievers on this team that Kubiak can flip for more than he got them for.

We've a 7th round LB that could start on many teams in the NFL.

We've got a 4th round draft pick for a scrub back-up QB that nobody knew.

We've got 4 new probowlers... not players with probowl like seasons, but 4 probowlers on this team. Mario, Cushing, Owen Daniels... Schaub is an Alternate, but I bet he ends up playing.

Big difference between Kubiak & Capers.

If you see no difference, you shouldn't even be in this conversation.

Capers never had us leading or in the top of the league in any positive stat. Never.

Not everything in this league is perfect. Bad teams need to learn how to play, before they worry too much about W-L. The W-L for a good team, like the Colts, the Chargers, the Patriots... mean a lot more than the W-L of a bad team.

W-L makes the Cowboys think they should be in the Super Bowl, when getting knocked out of the first round every year should tell them they need to learn how to play.

Hot/cold teams, when you wonder who is going to show up, is just a talented team learning how to play with each other.

The intangible that will most likely win the game, could be the players doing their jobs as best they can so as not to let his team mate down.

I know what you're saying but

Kubes is going to be here nxt year due to the 2010 work stoppage. If McNair lets him finish out his contract he wont have to pay the coaching staff because the coaching staff will no longer be under contract.

So I hope I'm wrong and the coaching staff improves their weaknesses. (The Browns,coaching challenges,TO issues etc......

I've got to keep the faith and hope my eyes are failing me

Beating the Pats is only part of the problem, and there are a few who don't pay attention to that.

Houston is in ONLY if the following happens this weekend...

1. HOU win + NYJ loss or tie + BAL loss or tie OR

2. HOU win + NYJ loss or tie + DEN loss or tie OR

3. HOU win + BAL loss or tie + DEN loss or tie


Baltimore plays Oakland, Denver plays KC, and the Jets play the Bengals. The chances of 2 of those 3 losing considering this are highly unlikely. Cincy and the Pats have locked the 3 and 4 seed, it just matters whether or not either of them wants the 3rd bad enough. I can see both of those teams resting some players to some extent, so we'd really need a miracle and have Oakland and KC play spoilers. Rigoddamndiculous.

But I am hoping for this miracle none the less. Just not expecting it.

It's like a puzzle we're putting together; all the pieces have to fit for us to make the playoffs. Yeah, I know the chances are slim, after going 1-5 in the division; but we still have a shot going into the last game of the year. The funny thing is; I've always felt that our first ever playoff appearance would be the result of the craziest of circumstances. Like you said, we still have hope :)

Andre Johnson has had 2 of his best seasons ever with Gary Kubiak. I doubt you'll alienate him, and where AJ goes this team goes. Or at least it better. And I'll say what I have said about a week or so ago: Andre Johnson and the Texans is like Barry Sanders and the Lions...two great HOF'ers who were stuck on mediocre teams. Yeah, they're great. But Andre Johnson is one man. Kubiak is one man, as well, but he's the man who runs the whole show. Too bad all those stats never end up with us in the playoffs.

If it took you that long, then you're just like the rest of the sheep... people who know football knew we wasted that $8 million before we gave it to him.

Same thing here, when people make up things to criticize, or get on Kubiak for doing the same thing other coaches (the best coaches) do on gameday. Well, hell, I thought he had a Top-10 offense and highest-ranked defense and the best WR and yada-yada-yada? Again, the stats are nice. But the players need a better gameday coach who manages the game instead of acting like he's running his plays during a scripted practice against the scout team. To me, this season was Kubiak's audition for why he would deserve to be here for an extended period of time. It's not working out. And I was his most ardent supporter over the summer when others were already projecting doom-and-gloom before a preseason game had even been played. Looks like they were right. Runner, you have my apologies. You were right!

Even if we are only blowing teams out in the first Qtr, or shutting them down in the 3rd... how can you say he isn't getting the team prepared?

I'm not talking about moving the ball, I'm talking about 21-0 against the Colts. I'm talking 27 unanswered on the Dolphins. I'm talking about shutting down the leagues leading rusher, when he was the leagues leading rusher (Cedric Benson). I think Marvin Lewis hit the nail on the head, when in his presser he said they had looked past the Texans and were worried about all the hype surrounding his team's early success. I don't credit Gary Kubiak for the defense playing better. I credit Frank Bush. And he did this in the face of being laughed at because he was considered to be an F.O.K'er (Friend of Kubiak) instead of a serious candidate. Hands down, this defense is playing more consistently on their snaps than the offense is.

It's just absurd some of the things being said.

Again, AJ is leading the league... not the crappy teams, the league in Receiving 2 years in a row. This year, with no run support.

Mario is going to his second Pro-Bowl. Demeco is going to his second Pro Bowl. Brian Cushing will most likely be DROY, he's going to his 1st Pro Bowl.

None of this was true last year.... but he's hit his ceiling, & it's obvious..... psssh. Yeah, getting pwned by your divisional rivals, beating up on the weak teams in the league (btw, what an astounding victory of the Rams that was!), and going full-turtle when we have a lead is proof (to me) that the guy is a maintainer and not a true tactician of the caliber you find in other head coaches who have turned their teams around taken them to the playoffs. Jeff Fisher, and even old Jack Del Rio to some extent, has shown more balls and flashes of strategery than Kubiak has ever dreamt of. Even the Redskins know that they have to play Haynesworth instead of benching him like Kubiak did to Jacoby. The running back situation has just been a nightmare, too. And let's not even start on the situation of our starting Center and everyone on the line not named Eric Winston.


Every other situation, we're damning a coach for feeding the media with stuff that is not their business. Our coach controls his locker room, don't point fingers & mans up to his mistakes. I will concede that it's a good thing that he doesn't throw fits and doesn't throw people under the bus. That's the quality that I think has endeared him to so many.

& that's a bad thing? I think if a man says "It's on me..." with the frequency that he has stated it in his Loser Monday pressers, at some point a logical person might wonder if he is going to be able to find a practical strategy that might at least reduce the severity or chronic nature of said problems. I mean, it's Gurry's job. Isn't it?

Look, thank you for injecting actual dialogue about this. I really have read what you have posted. I know you feel the way you feel, and that you feel sincerely and honestly about it.

I've responded with the best posts that I can manage, to try and match your depth of description about how you feel. So in that, I think we both understand each other better (hopefully!).

Lucky has made a post that I think encapsulates everything I feel, and he did it in far fewer words and smart-assery than what I have dished out.

Maybe where I go wrong is how I can sometimes go DaleMurphy in trying to vent or explain how I feel. I just think we're in for another similar season of our HC staring at his Denny's menu and wondering how in the world his "kids" just can't seem to grasp the concept of beating teams that matter most on the schedule.

I dunno, if the players are so responsible for this team not getting over the hump...then why is there even a coaching staff at all? They've been playing ball since they were kids. But the coaches have been doing this thing even LONGER. Logic says that the older guys should be able to find ways to put the younger guys in positions of strength as it's related to the opponent's weaknesses. Anybody here get the idea that Gary Kubiak just can't seem to get all the dots to match up on the Rubix Cube? He can get a few sides to line up, but can he get it ALL figured out? Maybe. But I don't think so.
