I was officially on the 'Fire Kubiak' bandwagon long ago, but I'm now driving the bus (Chuck and I are taking turns driving). Kuibak has no clue what it takes - nor the ability - to get this team to the next level. While the passing game gets the job done between the 20's for the most part, the OL sucks, the ZB scheme is a joke and can't pass block or get a key short yardage gain to save its life, we continue to run the wackiest of plays when down in the redzone, and the RB situation, well, what a fking mess... You have Chris Brown and Vonta Leach getting most of the touches in a must-win game! That's basically 2 KEY players on O who are going to produce absolutely zilch!!!! I'd rather have seen Casey AND Slaton back there. It wasn't like Leach and Brown were providing any extra protection and at least Schaub would have some dump-off options that could make a play.

I don't give a sh!t at this point if Slaton fumbles once a game. It's unconscionable that he got so few touches last night. If you don't trust Slaton, well put in Foster or give Henry a try because Brown is a joke and I'm sure the Titans sideline (and fans) were laughing their collective asses off when we trotted him out there.

So in Kubiaks tenure, we still:

1. Have no running game to speak of (which supposedly was a Denver strength and we could line up anyone back there).

2. Have a Swiss cheese OL (which supposedly was a Denver strength and we could line up small/less talented guys up there).

3. Have zero pass rush and still can't get a DLman within 5yds of a scrambling QB.

4. Have no team identity other than being known as a team that can't get in done when it counts the most.

I don't care about starting over at this point. I just want Kubiak out of there because I'm sick of having the same problems since before he got here and am convinced beyond any doubt he cannot get us to the next level. This is like beating your head against a wall!

Couple of other things from last night:
1. Was anyone surprised by the Titans fake punt attempt with about 5 minutes to go? I wasn't, but apparently Kubiak and his merry band of idiots were. Luckily it backfired when the Titans got a penalty and had to punt.

2. In what could have been the biggest idiotic move of the night was when Fisher decided to let VY throw on the last 3 plays before kicking the winning FG. We had no clue on how to stop the run/scramble combo and they likely could have just ran the clock down to nothing and prevented us from even having a chance at the end. What I'm saying is we were lucky to even have a chance to watch Charlie Brown screw it up.

3. Did anyone truly believe Charlie Brown was going to make either of those key FG attempts? Does anyone truly feel confident Charlie Brown will make any attempt? I haven't in two years so I'm not sure why Kubiak and his merry band of idiots haven't brought in any real competition. Look at the guy the Colts signed when their K went down. I hear that guy had a pretty decent career before the Colts signed him, yet, we don't even take a sniff and go with a guy who's been nothing if not inconsistent for the last 2+ years. If I were Texans coach, you'd see Brown weeping Ian Howfield tears today.

Oh well, there's always next year. And I'm sure we're getting real close to having those "will they or won't they be blacked-out this week" discussions with the way this franchise is going.
