    Reid went to the conference championship game in his 3rd-6th seasons and the Super Bowl in season 6.

    Oh come on. That's your argument to compare OB to Andy Reid? Ask Philly fans?

    Andy Reid went to 4 conference championships and a Super Bowl while in Philly. A lot of that was in his first 6 years, which is the amount of time that OB has been here. I'll give OB a little more lenience for the sake of this argument and only look at the last 3 years with Deshaun, but he has yet to win a meaningful playoff game and has been embarrassed twice in the postseason. I am willing to give him this year to prove himself but he is simply not improving.

    I thought the EXACT same thing. I've come to the conclusion after 6yrs....B O'B is an average coach. His record reflects it.

    OB got "famous" for going after Tom Brady but... that's the exact reason he sucks in stressful situations imo. Timeouts, Challenges, Playoffs, he always comes up short and I think it's because of he is too emotional to stay clear and level headed in those stressful situations. Fact is to win a SB you have will to navigate many of these stressful situations and I just don't see OB capable of it. His "cute" teapot nickname is the reason for it.

    First of all, no one in their right mind should compare B O'B and Andy Reid! Second of all, B O'B has had 6yrs, giving him this yr. is not going to change anything. B O'B was deemed an Offensive Coach but he's anything but. His team's offensive numbers has gone down every yr, except for when he was blessed to get DW4.

    Yesterday shows, B O'B still does not know how to coach a talent like DW4. He has ALL the talent he needs, now it's on him! With that talent why is he not running more NO HUDDLE? Speeding up the pace? Screen Plays? Motion?

    B O'B is AVG at best and his record reflects it, one step forward with the win against the Chargers, one step back on yesterday against the Panthers....AVERAGE!

    The Texans as an organization believe:
    They have a good offensive system
    They have a good offensive coach (OBrien)
    They have a promising OC
    They have a good QB coach
    They have a good OLine coach (lol)
    They have a franchise QB
    They have the best WR in the NFL
    They have a franchise LT
    They have good #2 receiver
    They have a good slot receiver
    They have a top 5 center
    They have good promising rookies at RG and RT
    They have a solid pro at LG
    They have good depth at OLine
    They have a good starting TE (Akins)
    They have a good blocking TE (Fells)
    They have a good RB (Duke Johnson)
    They have a surprise between the tackles runner (Hyde)

    LOL

    that felt like a 14 point swing. Demoralizing. 2&4!
    I know some people act like they don't listen to AM Radio yet somehow those people know every little drama within the hosts.
    I was reminded of a Brock led game where Dante Hall just lost it with his co host john lopez aka chupacabra. Dante's contention was that B.O.B's
    offense lacked creativity pre snap, no rub routes no screens to hold back the blitz. Dante would go on to b.o.b John Lopez with a "You don't know what you're talking about. You never played" like rant. This was 2016.

    This, to me, is the most galling thing about O'Brien. They have historically had problems with the rush yet never throw a RB screen.

    No...every time I think he's capable he pulls off some serious head-scratching blunders. The guy is clueless and want him to get the eff off my team.

    Posted this in the Fire BoB thread. We haven't scored a first half touchdown in our last 3 home games.

    Maybe, Just Maybe, Bill O’Brien knows what he is doing.

    "... I don't really have any answers..."
    -Bill O'brien

    BOB created the conditions in which he then had to overpay to address the offensive line.

    Brown, Brooks, Jones, all left /traded without replacements.

    Yeah Tunsil looks like a player, but forgive me if I don't praise O'brien for putting the team in a bad and desperate spot to have to overpay for him.

    Especially when the team doesn't look like it will be any better while he is still at the helm.
