The coaching got us a big nice lead, then gave it all away.
Week 5 - Patriots Bowl
- Thread starter Speedy
- Start date
Jets still on the schedule, right?

Well… at least it was an entertaining loss. Encouraging performance from Mills and the offense.
Penalties aplenty, special teams was awful.

I was energized by Culley when he first came in, now I'm starting to think there is a good reason he never got a shot as a Head Coach.
Messy, confused, indecisive, inconsistent, team looks questionablly prepared..... yikes
It's a Texans tradition for the head coach to choke a win into a loss.

But, but …. Caserio signed all these guys that could “play” special teams!!?

Mills made some throws today, those same throws could very easily have been picks. Hopefully it's because he's been good not lucky.

I agree this loss is on Culley but more like 70% blame. Good play execution would have made the difference.
For a guy with over 30 years NFL coaching experience, Culley sure makes a lot of bad decisions!
But his first HC gig. It's different when you're The Guy.

Trusting Fairbairn with a 56 yard FG after going 3/3 on fourth in the first half, that I don't understand.

If 1 guy is going to carry the burden of this loss…..it’d Fairbairn. He left 5 points on the field. If he felt too injured to kick the ball, he should’ve expressed those concerns before he was made starting kicker this week.
He’s basically a rookie head coach. He probably got too excited with a lead over the patriots and started outthinking himself.

It sucks cuz this game was both well coached in terms of prep for Mills and creativity and AGGRESSIVENESS on fourth downs, and TERRIBLY coached in terms of other decision making and time management.
Interesting dichotomy.

& as bad as ST was today….Penalties still were more responsible for this loss.
that drive before the half when Conley got tackled on the 3…2 straight holding penalties costed us a TD there. Then Collins on that terrible penalties on a 3rd and 16 all but sealed the game on that last drive for the Pats.

Agreed. I hope NC actually sits down with Culley and goes over those situations for answers of "What The Hell Were You Thinking?"

i think the thing is, he has to make up his mind. He was super aggressive early on in this game….super aggressive early on in Buffalo last week..but it seems he gets more conservative as the games go on.
No hangover from the Bills game for Mills. Just keep plugging away.
Nick has his own issues. Who's going to have "the talk" with Caserio?

That is why I wanted to see if things were different this season. We didnt need an allstar roster to know if the cracks in the foundation were fixed.
Seems they arent and until they are... anything built will crumble, time and time again.

Something every Texans Coach suffer from. When will it end?
You guys might disregard it as a conspiracy, but I'm telling you it's a set up.
Looks like a quack, walk like a quack.
This game should have been a snooze fest, but no.
The Texans couldn't get a consistent pass rush nor a run stop with all those back up on their Oline.
The Pats secondary were leaving guys open or just open enough.
Chris Moore? For real?
How many casual Texans fans even know he's on the team.

Teams will know Chris Moore is on the Texans after today. They might’ve noticed Conley as well. This could be a help to Cooks in upcoming games.

That’s why I will not put any extra effort to seeing them play anymore. They’re basically saying F the fans.

It will be interesting what they do with Moore after this week. Pretty obvious someone who gets 100+ yards and a td against the Pats will get plucked off an NFL practice squad.
Cannon went to IR and to my knowledge his roster spot hasn’t been filled. Maybe that will by the team time to have Moore on active roster and let the WR room shakeout a bit once Nico Collins and Amendola get back. Also have Davion Davis now and a sleep deprived new dad Conley who played pretty well!

The NFL did get into bed with sports gambling pretty blatantly… and to my knowledge there hasn’t been a low scoring NFL game indoors in quite some time. Only when bad weather outdoors affect both teams.
I'm pretty sure the "F the fans" was clear when OB failed up.... repeatedly.... thus leading to most of the dumpster fire we find ourselves with.
TheRealJoker

When OB became GM and traded Hopkins for peanuts I boycotted the team last year. Once a new regime came in I came crawling back because I am a glutton for punishment and even though my Sundays were way more productive I am a Texans football addict. I can think of way cooler addictions but this is my cross to bear
I can only think of one "bad" throw... the one Moore scored on. What were the other "almost INTs"?
Porky
Hall of Fame
Probably splitting hairs but I will go with your 70%. There was lousy execution on ST, defense was bad in the 4th qtr, online still can’t run block. That said this guy can’t coach his way out of a paper bag. He is certainly a nicer personality than the previous HC but he is even more clueless. And that is hard to do. He is in way over his head.
I think Culley is learning just as much as Mills or any other rookie. I wouldn't make any definitive judgments about who he is just yet. Even he doesn't know. We can see he's figuring this stuff out as he goes.
Two amazing throws by Mills & one save yourass penalty almost won a game for him.
Just like Saleh... too early with what he's got to work with to say. Both of them have some good & some bad & we'll probably know this time next season.
