Absolutely disgusting. The Dolphins are a shit team. To get embarrassed by a shit team should be a wake up call. But as long as eighty thousand necks show up every other week McSenile will keep laughing.

Just how bad will it get before people wake up?

That's what we do...that's who we are. Since the Kubiak days, we have played down to the level of our opponent...maybe we need to scrap all players from the Kubiak era.

Lets not forget Rick Smith. If I were McNair, I would look over to him and say "You're fired"!!!

It's the nature of Houston sports (save for a couple of Rocket championships) for as long as I can remember and that goes back to the early 60's.....

Today was a golden opportunity to make something of the season, gain ground on the Colts (who lost) and turn this thing around. What do the Texans do? They fall flat on their faces.....not a close game loss, not a competitive loss, just a complete no-fight 1st round knockout...

Wake up and do what, come back next week and watch them play again just as you do every week?
Amazing, but we are still only a game out of first place - yep the Colts lost again today.

The AFC South is a complete joke. That's all I can say.

It's likely going to get even messier.
#Colts next 3 games:
-- at 5-0 Carolina
-- vs. 6-0 Denver
-- at 6-1 Atlanta.

We should be in 1st place at the end of all that. BUT we are not taking advantage of this opportunity and I can't see a change in sight less we make a major change this week.

Yep, but at this point I'm not really sure what changes would be a positive for this season. About the only one that comes to mind would be to give Vrabel a shot at DC. Play calling on O may change, but not sure if it would be publicized, so we would't know. There's few difference makers on the street, so the core group isn't changing.

Promote Vrabel to head coach. A similar promotion seems to be working in Miami where they made Dan Campbell HC from being TE coach, and he has less coaching experience than Vrabel.

If Mallett is still on the team after tomorrow it will tell me all I need to know about OB, Smith and McNut - especially OB. I will lose a large amount of respect and patience with OB if he does nothing with Mallett. I don't give a flying flip at this point who the starting QB is or which schlep they sign off the street as the backup. Go sign Ponder, Tebow, or hell, Vinny Testeverde for all I care, but the first message OB needs to send to this wussy-fied team is, we may suck, but we won't tolerate some dumbass malcontent.

Vinny Testeverde is 51, but he might be a significant improvement.

Thumbs down

I guess plenty blame all around, but whoever was main force behind getting these two QB this year deserves most of blame for my vote.

But I will be back every week.

I think last years success (relatively speaking) kind of screwed us...

Here me out...just my opinion

I believe the original plan was to clean house. But the relative success blinded us. We started to believe that maybe we could win with trash. BOB probably drank a little of the koolaid as well. So instead of following through Mission "remove all reminents of the Kubiak era"...we began mission "put a bandaid on a broke leg"...as a result we brought back scrubs and BOB started looking for his game manager...

Here we are realizing that our OLINE sucks, JJ can't just do what he wants, Cushing talks more than he walks, Arian is as injury prone as ever (no one touched him) and can't be relied on, and game managers don't last in this NFL...

So I'm pushing for us to get back to the original plan...

I think BOB is blinded a lot by New England. Tom Brady fixes a lot of problems on offense, and makes things easier for the defense as well. I think BOB thinks we can get by with an OL thats not great, subbing WR and RBs each week, and everything will be ok with the right game manager......only problem is that we don't have Brady.

The biggest problem with that is Hoyer has never been anything close to a game manager. He is neither accurate nor safe with the ball. He is at his best when throwing the ball down field and making the 55% that he completes count. He is like Ryan Fitzpatrick with less arm and less mobility.

What concerns me is that this is four games already this season where we not only lost but looked like a high school team in the process. Three games now (KC, ATL, MIA) where we were literally blown out in the first half and one game (IND) where we lost to a 40-year-old QB who was under the weather while committing nearly every stupid mistake a team could make.

THAT, friends, is a lack of preparation and THAT goes on the coaches - 1000%. If 2/3rds of your games are EMBARRASSING losses, not just losses, THAT goes on the coaches - 1000%.

Romeo and the entire defensive staff should be fired and if O'Brien won't do it, fire him too.

That's not to exonerate the front office or the offense but you have to start somewhere.

Should've kept Wade as DC.

Games likely would have been more fun to watch even with an inept O.

We know McNair won't fire O'Briene because he's got a 5 year contract plus what it cost the owner to buy out his Penn State contract.
Now they might fire Romeo. There is some talent on the defense, but very little on offense and of course with no hope in sight at QB, the offense has got a long, long ways to go.
