Fire Bill O'Brien

4 seasons in, and not a single win against a top tier QB. Not one.

 

He's dumb.

Get him out of here before he gets someone killed.

 

Sorry I can't think of a better analogy, but I've been doing a lot of painting recently...

It's kind of like when you paint your own house. You know where every little imperfection is. There will be some no matter how many times you try and fix them.To a friend coming over, the paint job looks great. And then when you go to your friend's house, you think, boy, I wish my paint job would have turned out this smooth, but in your friend's head, he's thinking the same thing while he's at your place.


It's easier to see the flaws in something that you're really paying attention to. Until you have a professional painter come over and start complementing you. And then everyone wants you to come to their house to paint.

 

When was this?

It would like a painter complimenting my 5 year old on how good he colored his walls with crayons

 

Whoever gave the okay for Savage to come back in should be fired this morning, don't care who he (or they) are.

If BoB is retained (not advocating for one way or the other), he needs to shake the staff up a bit including getting rid of Izzo and the team needs to completely overhaul the medical and training staff. Injuries happen but the amount of concussions we had this season alone warrants some type of oversight. And special teams outside of Lechler has been a big zero under Izzo.

 

I’m for keeping O’Brien.

 

That makes two of us!

 

The GM is responsible for Walt Lowe/medical staff, not the Head Coach.

And it's our medical staff who put him back on the field. It's written in the safety rules, it's not the UNC's job it's the team doctor's job to decide to hold a player out. And this isn't the first time Lowe has screwed this up.

It was O'Brien who asked for a medical recheck.

 

Great job by BOB to get him re-evaluated

 

I thought there was supposed to be a third party doctor there. The NFL doesn't care about safety at all.

 

Sorry meant that he needs to let go of Izzo and that the team needs to completely overhaul the medical staff. This was an inexcusable call by the medical staff.

 

my god. he looks like he was having a seizure.
i want to feel sorry for these players but man they do this to their own. can't we all just take it down a few notches. i am pretty sure i will enjoy the game without people suffering concussions.

 

Huh.

Every QB and offense we’ve ever had in previous season.

We’ve only really lost Mercilus, Bouye, Demps and Romeo from this previous year. But are doing much worst.

Now everyone’s b****ing we have expansion level talent. How is that, if we’ve only removed three major players from last years playoff team.

It's in the safety rules: https://www.playsmartplaysafe.com/f...ls-regarding-diagnosis-management-concussion/


TBI = traumatic brain injury.

My bad, I probably read it the wrong way.

Yeah, somebody needs to fix our kicker or get another one. Everyone was chirping about short kickoffs -- I'd take those over missed FGs and XPs.

 

Still don't see how Savage was able to return to the field. Not one person said "hey it kinda looked like he had a mini-seizure, he should probably go to the hospital".

Embarrassing for the Texans as a whole.

 

Personally I want BOB back next year. The guy is an offense specialist by trade and has been hamstrung by terrible, if not the worst, QB play in the NFL since his tenure began (only competition is Cleveland). The main reason I want him back is how successful we were with Watson. Why disrupt something that was clearly working for the most important player on our team? On top of this is the fact that we have had little to no locker room drama during his tenure. As frustrating as the team's play has been over his time, you have to imagine there is going to be performance expectation tension between the offense and defense. Seeing that there was none (look at Denver this season) it shows the team still believes in him.

And regarding the Savage hit, that's also not on him. We have the benefit of the doubt of getting instant access to the video where you can clearly see his hands twitching. If anything, responsibility for him coming back in the game falls on the medical staff. Not sure how quickly medical staff gets the video, maybe something is inherently wrong with the process diagnosing concussions, but bottom line is that's not on BOB.
