    I always thought fans had the least patience for coaches with poor offenses. I guess not.

    I think we are unique bc our team has done so little in its history, that even shtty wins makes most of us happy.

    It's making moves that we don't do enough of. Why didn't we get Amari Cooper? Why didn't we pick up another wide receiver as well besides Thomas and trade off Kevin Johnson and some other dead weight? Why aren't we throwing to our tight ends, and our running back more? Why do 75% of the plays other than a run consist of a pass to Hopkins or a QB sack or 3rd and short because Hopkins isn't wide open and Watson holds the ball too long then tries to run?

    Not necessarily true. Fuller was healthy the first 3 games we lost.

    Smart planning would dictate that they find another WR who can contribute this offseason. We'll see. Fuller and Coutee can't be counted on to play a full season.

    Didn't you know it is Bob's fault when Watson is off target? It's also his fault if Watson doesn't throw away from the defender but within reach of the receiver. It's Bob's fault if he hesitates too long and doesn't throw to someone before getting sacked. It's Bob's fault if he decides to run on 3rd down but doesn't throw to an open man on the run and comes up short. It's Bob's fault if Watson stares down his targets and it's Bob's fault he throws to Hopkins 75% of the time or nobody. It's Bob's fault if he throws a TD pass out of the end zone too!! Watson can do no wrong. Blame Bob for it all.

    Nobody else was going to give a 1st rounder for Amari Cooper. DT for a 4th was a coup. In a similar vein if a regular fan deems Kevin Johnson dead weight, he isn't going to be valuable enough to trade for a WR that can contribute immediately.

    Maybe some coach like Bob will see more value in Johnson than I do. If not, don't we have anyone to trade or pick up as an extra wide receiver? Surely there is someone out there who can at least catch little short routes and take some of the cover off Hopkins. But, we do have 3 tight ends who can also be used more as well.

    Looking forward to the Texans having Coutee, Hop, DT, and Carter in at the same time.

    Would love to see two slots on the field to give Watson some mismatches in empty sets.
