Plain and simple Romeo needs to be handed his walking papers and the offensive coordinator needs to lose his playcalling duties. Neither has shown any ability to get better...

Why would you put the blame on both coordinators and not the HC?

I'm happy sending all three home.

Is he calling the plays? I do believe he deserves a part of the blame. But I am not of the belief that because he has HC next to his name that he is always to blame.

I do believe that he does not always let us in on the inner workings of the team. Yes, he (or whomever REALLY had the last say so on our QB debacle) should take some blame.

However, this team has been WAY worse than Hoyer. These coordinators get off the hook way too often.

The HC is always most responsible among the coaching staff. BOB has total control of his staff. He hired them. He leads them and directs and approves the game plan. Their failure is his failure.

And I cannot imagine why anybody would think he did not have all the say on the QB position. He personally acquired former players and declared them his guys. Then he juggled them every time they played like the terrible QBs they are. You can let responsibility for this debacle of a franchise run up hill from O'Brien since Smith works with BOB on personnel and McNair hired them both, but it is dumb to make scape goats of the coordinators.

That's your opinion. But the truth of the matter is that no one but the necessary personnel knows who has total control on this team. We only know what they tell us.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying that Bill doesn't deserve SOME of the blame. But to blame him for it ALL is foolish and ignorant. He doesn't call any plays and he's not on the field. If anything he needs to hold somebody accountable and make some adjustments...

But yes coordinators should be held accounts as well...they are not exempt

No one is blaming BOB for ALL of the team's problems, just pointing out that he is in fact the head coach.

What are you talking about? We don't know who is in charge? The HC is in charge on Sunday. End of story.

This is O'Brien's team. (Just like O'Brien is the one with Arian Foster pointlessly on the field to get hurt at the end of a blowout loss as I type).

That was pretty good, huh? Very Texan. BOB fits right in to the unending line of Texan HC dickwits.

Thought you left?

[Big Texas]

My last name is not O'Brien, and I could give 2 shits of a damn about him. And I am not going to sit here and defend the man...LOL.

I am just pointing out that for those of us who are one track minded, this blowout, this team, is where it is because of a lot more than him...it's easy and lazy to put all the blame on one person. As long as we continue to do so we'll be in this situation...

[Big Texas]

And yes that was a pretty dumb move to leave Foster in knowing his history of injuries. But that was a pretty freak ass injury. No one even touched him.

Who blamed only O'Brien? They can all get in line behind McNair for blame.

Also, it makes no difference what any of us do, we'll still be in this situation.
