    "Not good" is an understatement even before considering he's had more roster power than most coaches.

    No more excuses. And I don’t wanna hear crap about last week. Broncos no name QB beating us by 30 at halftime. Disgusting.

    Like I said in game thread. This team not making playoffs could be beneficial. That's the only way this joke of an organization would feel compelled to fire buttchin and his regime.

    Today's game is why u shouldn't knee jerk, bud and believe in our mediocre coach . He will always disappoint us somehow even after a great game against the Pats.

    I'm willing to forfeit the playoffs for Bobster's departure.

    Easily

    It's actually worse than you think.

    Look at how short Cam Newton's prime was. DeShaun Watson is always a play away from permanent destruction.

    His prime is now and the clock is ticking down, and it's BOB at the controls.

    That should scare Watson to death

    Make no mistake, we are gonna win this division. Then they will be able to sell beating the Titans as a major accomplishment. Lower goals then meet them, that's how they get you if you aren't too bright.

    Back to back 10 win seasons is basically equal to a super bowl for our ownership, that bought him a few more years. If we somehow actually advance to the AFC championship game he will be crowned coach for life.

    This is Texans football, everybody should be used to it by now. A coach who even a generous person would call mediocre has the job for a decade and is the GM. He has complete control of football operations, yet everything that goes wrong is someone elses fault or just bad luck.

    I came here to jump on the trains, fire BOB. But the more I think about it, this loss was a team effort. That defense was absurdly bad. Fire RAC. And no back to back 10 win seasons shouldn’t be considered a Super Bowl, but I would love to see any of you be a fan of the sub .500 teams this year. Goodness, there are some actually horrible teams that can’t even say the word playoffs and you guys are complaining about a mediocre first round exit. Today absolutely sucked, but the blame is all over. If BOB gets credit for the 5th loss, then give him credit for the 8 wins. If Watson or defense gets credit for the 8 wins, they definitely get credit for the losses. Just be consistent.

    Yep.

    And I knew it would be the Texans thing to do is beat New England on prime time then turn around and lose to the broncos.

    Such a Texans thing to do smh.

    He's not 23-21 with Watson - but this is what you do... Watson missed 9 games in 2017. They are now 22-13 in games started by Deshaun Watson.

    I don't like him... I just don't hate him. I think he's a good - not great - head coach.

    If Kansas City called you right now and offered Andy Reid for Bill O'Brien... would you take that deal? What about Sean Payton? Pete Carroll? Mike Tomlin?

    All four of those coaches have a better regular season record than playoff record. Reid is actually under .500 in the playoffs (12-14), and the other three have Super Bowl runs that augment their records. I'm not minimizing those, of course - but Payton is 5-8; Carroll is 7-8; Tomlin is 5-7 is all other years they did not win a Super Bowl. They won Super Bowls... they're better coaches than BO'B - but... they lose playoff games *a lot* - far more than they win Super Bowls.

    So I'm not going to ignore a much larger sample size to focus on a small one.

    BO'B.

    No head coach - other than Bill Belicheck - wins "consistently" in the playoffs (see above). Winning a championship is *hard* and it's why (other than Belicheck) most coaches max out at 1 - and that one is probably as much about luck as it is great coaching.

    I think John Harbaugh is a great coach - but his one Super Bowl win was riding a miraculous run by Joe Flacco that was pure luck and fortunate timing. He has the ring and deserves a lot of credit - but he couldn't win another Super Bowl with Joe Flacco if his life depended on it.

    I'm convinced the vast majority of fans don't pay close attention to the NFL at large. Every team - even great ones - have a black-eye game or two on their resume - and I mean, in most cases, ugly, beat-down, otherwise inexplicable losses: Green Bay has lost to the Chargers (11-26); New Orleans has lost to the Falcons (9-26); Kansas City has lost to the Colts (13-19); Baltimore lost to the Browns (25-40)... the Patriots won the Super Bowl last year and had losses to both the Lions *and* Dolphins (not to mention a 24-point shellacking from the Titans).

    There's a reason teams don't go 16-0/15-1 very often.

    It's a bad loss (to a *very* good defensive team, btw) for many reasons - but it's not (yet) season-derailing by any means. And it's not totally unprecedented for an otherwise good team to lay an absolute egg.[/QUOTE]
