Who to Blame??

What I will say to that is Carr had plenty of time to throw the ball away or, heaven forbid, throw the ball to the WR when he was supposed to, but no, Carr held on to the ball until he was hit and fumbled the ball. We all know that the O-line is not the best, but they did well enough for Carr to either throw the ball to his WR or get rid of it if his receiver wasn't open. The sacks and fumbles were on Carr.


all the sacks were carrs fault?

did you watch the game on tv. or did you use you binoculars from atop a high building in oklahoma.
that was a very intelligent comeback :rolleyes:

In answer to your question, I watched the game at the sports bar, on a big screen tv, and watched all of the replays. If there was a sack that was not his fault, please enlighten me.
 
Who to blame??? At this point, Bob McNair. The buck stops at him. Ultimately he is responsible for turning this organization into the biggest joke in professional football.

I think he will do some Managerial changes at the end of the season. Does he do anything besides finance and promote? He brought in a team to run his investment and I think they played it tooooo safe. They need better Leadership in coaching staff and on the Field.

Either way... it's his company, so ultimately he is responsible.

He had the opportunity to change out this coaching staff after the team regressed last season and chose to do nothing. This is his mess and it's his responsibilty to clean it up.

Ok who do you guys blame for the loss of this game.You can blame Carr a lil i guess but not alo becuase he made some nice running plays in the first half and only threw the ball 9 times and yuo have to throw the ball alot more if you want to win.You cant really blame the line because as bad as they are this was there best game of the year.So who to blame well i blame the coaches bad playcalling not enough passes and after all those running plays they didnt use the playaction pass to the fullest so thats who i blame who do you????

There's plenty of blame to go around, but I have to wonder why, when you're down by 17 in the 4th quarter with 11:00 left, the Texans ran the ball on first and second down. That's worse than Chris Palmer.
 
I blame the coaching for this team being a 1st half team. I can only wonder what a team like I saw playing in the 1st half would look like for 4 Qtrs. By all means they weren't flawless but the defense did make some plays during that time(Sack, FF & recovery, INT). Meanwhile, the offense was run blocking good but marginal at least at pass blocking. Gaffney, I believe has stepped up as the #1 WR while Johnson has been out and when Johnson does recover to become the #1 again, hopefully, Gaffney will step up and be the go to #2 WR Carr needs. But the coaches need to do a better job of making adjustments at halftime(Surprise, Surprise!!). Jerome Mathis, is a badass!! As he continues to play more and more, I like how he is learning to hit the hole and use his speed. The first few games he kind of danced around but today, Damn! that boy is fast. As a person who sees the glass half full, this team has the talent but not the coaching or an O-line. If we make a change at coach next year, draft the LT and interior linemen we need, we should be highly competitive next year.

overall, the D wasn't that bad.

The defense allowed more than 200 yards rushing and didn't force one punt. Yet, you say the D wasn't that bad. Tell me, then. Just how DO you define "bad" defense?

just trying to be funny. there were two sacks where he took 3 steps looked downfield and got nailed from his blind side in under 3 sec's. i cant see how these were his fault. if we had normal nfl blocking carr wouldnt of held on to the ball to long at all today. but since we dont and he know's we dont some of the sacks are his fault. carr had a bad game. some of the other games i thought he has done as well as could be expected. today was diff. but when you only throw the ball 9(i think) times. every bad pass is magnified.
 
The D was not good and is getting worse. But we are playing without four first day starters. Our offense looked good for about a quarter staying with what they do best as collective unit, run the ball. When the offense has the ability to sustain drives it keeps a depleted defense fresh, this did not happen again today.

This team has no leadership. When the wheels start to wobble, you know they are about to come off. Need to get some backbone.

There was zero reason for making a change before this year.

You are incorrect here. The team (especially the offense) regressed over the 2nd half of last season and it has just carried over to this season. They have won 1 game over a decent team (barely above .500) in the last 15.
 
I blame Seth Wand. He hasn't made a good block all year. This is clearly the reason for the Texans' woes. The way he plays LT, it's like he's invisible...

:thud:

Whoopty do, you lived through the 81-84 Oilers. That gives you a pass the rest of your life to complain about watching bad football? I know its bad, you know its bad, everyone knows its bad.

Many Texan fans are former Oiler fans.
We are not complaining solely about the poor play of the Texans.
It is more about fourty plus years of supporting a mostly incompetent franchise (Buds) that ultimately abandoned us. :penalty:

Now we are faced with the perception, whether true or not, that we have another incompetent franchise. :hairpull:
Its only natural that we former Oiler fans are apprehensive.

Here's hoping that McNair seeks out competent counsel and straightens this mess out.


cac: :coffee:

It is hard to see the regression when you are improving your win total every year. We have had very few Wins to compare with our intensity. I think they have gotten worse this off season. When Capers coached Carolina he started off with a lot of good players. Ex. Kevin Greene and did good. until they began retiring etc. The same thing is happening here except his leadership on the field is not retiring, it is being dealt before it retires as a philosophy to keep our team young and the Cap numbers friendly. Unfortunately, the (young) acqusitions are not producing the same results on the field, or leadership, as much as their numbers on our cap. When Kevin left, Carolina slowly went away. You need veteran leadership on the Field as well as Leadership from the sidelines. Even if we didn't win alot last year, I still thought we played with a lot more intensity on a conservative philosphy. This year we are still playing conservative and with a lot less focus.:embarrass Now, if Mcnair allows this to continue into next season without accountability from his team(players and coaches), then he might shoulder some of the blame for a bad product.
 
I think us as the fans was ready for some football this season. But the Texans are showing us that they are not ready.
So who is at fault? It can not be the coach.............thats what we said last year! So we bring in a new head coach. We are now 0-3 that tells me that maybe the head coach was not the problem. In my view the problem is all them over paid so call Pro football players. That you and I support on Sundays with our hard earned money. Its time to start looking for so players that want more than a pay check! Some players that have some heart and want to be Supper Bowl Champions! GO ASTROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
