Can the Texans Afford to go 0-3? [...0-4? ...0-5? ...0-##?]

I dunno, what's Gibbs got to do with the performance of the DLine or Schaub ?
It would be great, go a long ways to getting some redemption for the first 2 games and maybe salvaging a season which is starting out to be very disappointing. But I just don't have any confidance in them until they give me reason to have some. I sure hope they surprise me this weekend !

!

for reals?

gibbs coaches the o'line. schaub can either have time to throw and be decent or scramble to make plays and totally suck all based on whether gibbs is teaching well enough. and he's probably the most familiar with schaub as a player...so...a lot.

if gibbs' system works and the o'line stays on the field for long drives that means the d'line can get a good rest and play with energy throughout the game.

i'm just saying....he's a coach. he's got something to do with it.

I dunno, but I seem to recall that Schaub was shaky, inaccurate, acting stressed before the rush really came. That goes for both games.
Of course after the Texans were out of it and had fallen behind the roof fell in and the pass rush was coming full tilt.

you asked what gibbs had to do with the performances of schaub and the d'line, right? not how schaub performed...yea, he was pretty much all over the place both games (and the cowboys, just to dig in a little).

to be fair, if we want to examine coaching and what coaching is affecting which players i think we should take a look at kid-shanahan: the young, inexperienced QB coach/OC. i don't think it takes a rocket scientist to tell between him, kubiak, and gibbs he probably is just riding shotgun but he's still accountable for the inept show of offense.
