At least now people will quit saying they have a chance to make the playoffs.

This team is a total joke right now. They have so many problems I don't know what they need the most, head coach, o-line, middle lb, safety, outside lb, kicker, or rb.

You forgot GM. It would be nice to get more than one productive player (if that) per draft every now and then.

Yeah I kinda lump him with Kubiak. I think they are a package deal, but with Bob who knows what he is thinking. I fear that he'll give Kubiak a pass for health reasons.

I think it's all but certain that they'll bring him back and that spells more trouble because it's plain that Kubiak has the real power on draft day.

The AZ blitzes sure worked in second half. Was that any particul OLmen or play calls or inexperience and injuries.

Ryan Griffin had a concussion.

Hopkins and Swearinger doing fairly good.

Too many penalties.

FG blocked. At least got 48 yarder.

7 loss in a row is Texans record.

We did win the turnover battle today.

Andre Johnson and JJ Watt really good game.

Let's win next week against Oakland.

Clearly, the team has problems but I have to disagree with Chuck on our draft results. Since 2008, we've drafted Duane Brown, Cushing, J.J. Watt, and picked up Arian Foster as an undrafted free agent. That's arguably the best LT, one of the top ILBs, arguably the best RB, and the best defensive player in football.

We've also drafted Barwin, Quin and Casey who are no longer here but got good money in free agency and are clearly considered quality players in the league (although the GM can take some blame for them no longer being here (at least Quin)). We also have Kareem Jackson, Tate, Mitchell, Graham, And Reed. All solid albeit not spectacular. In the to-soon-to-tell category, we still have Mercilus, Brooks, Crick, Hopkins, Swearinger, etc.

All in all, that's pretty solid drafting. I haven't went back and looked but outside of teams like the Colts who lucked into Luck, I doubt there is more than 5 teams who have drafted better.

But, again, something clearly isn't working and maybe I've overvalued these guys since their record is 2-7. I still think coaching is a bigger problem.

And i also agree that between his health issues and all the guys on IR, Kubiak gets another year.

This is what scares me. Kubiak should be fired no if and buts about it. Smh
