SkippyX Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 'The offense was up 21-0' is hilarious. A punt block return is not offense. A 6 yard drive after a muffed punt is not exactly the 1999 Rams. B O B is a moron who acts as an anchor for his team. No one with a brain goes for it on a fake punt from their own 30 up 24-7. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hukos Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 11 minutes ago, Texansfan713 said: at least quinn been to a super bowl Does it really count when "your" side of the ball is being dragged kicking and screaming (27th ranked defense in DVOA/26th in ppg)? Pretty much everyone in Atlanta thinks it was Kyle Shanahan that got them to the Super Bowl that year, not Quinn. It'd be like if BOB had for 1-2 years one of the all-time great offensive minds at OC, and Watson dragged BOB to the Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Winning your division twice at 9-7 and once at 10-6 just means your division sucks. The Eagles won at 9-7 this year and they and the whole division were national jokes. Winning your division at 11-5 and then getting embarrassed at home to the #2 team in your division (Colts) in the wildcard round is not much of an accomplishment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 No, definitely not. If he was that bad he'd be out of the league right now. He's in that awful gray area where he's good enough to be moderately competitive and keep his job, but not good enough to win anything meaningful.

Here's the thing - if you are willing to go for it with a fake punt up 24-7 on your own 30....maybe you want to go for it on 4th and a half-yard at KC's 10 when your run game is clearly winning. The fake punt call was baffling by itself - but when you combine NOT going for it on 4th and inches from the KC 10 when your run game is clearly winning, then the combo is just mind-blowing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Its not like it takes an MVP and a great offense to blow the doors off a B O B team. The 7-9 Broncos with the 28/28 ranked offense after they traded Sanders away were up 38-3 in Houston this year in Lock's 2nd career start.

Broncofan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 FWIW, BoB isn't the league's worst HC. But, he's also nowhere close to a good HC, either. I'd put him bottom 5-10 range. And that's a problem on a team like HOU. A better Q would be "was that the worst coached game with a big lead"? That would be an easy yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teen Girl Squad Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 He's the Dalton line of coaches (replacing Marvin Lewis. Just barely good enough to keep his job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Looking through the list of head coaches, honestly Bill's probably right in the middle as far as coaches I would FOR SURE, at this time, put ahead of him. There's plenty of situations where I just don't know: I mean can we say for sure that, say, Kingsbury or Lynn are better? I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Texans should hire Pete Carmichael from the Saints. He’d do some good things with all those weapons and another MVP caliber QB to work with. I don’t think he’s ready to be a HC, but maybe OC/Assistant HC to an up and coming defensive minded coach would be ideal. Saints get a fresh pair of eyes on their system and Pete goes to Houston with a bunch of dynamic weapons and over a decade of learning behind Payton and Brees. Yes, learning behind Brees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply pressure pin your ears back and rush. I know you guys hate BOB, but at some point he has to stop being the scapegoat.. 21-0.. That’s a huge lead. I'm not saying the defense didn't do their job, but when you're playing Pat Mahomes, you're best bet is to get some offense going too. This isn't a scapegoat situation, BoB snatched defeat from the jaws of victory today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle7 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Bill O'Brien is a mid range HC during the regular season but come playoff time...il est dans les toilettes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrid Josher Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'll be the contrarian- the fake punt wasn't a bad idea. If you think you have a play on that will work a high percent based on your scouting, and you (correctly) know the game is going to be high scoring with very few defensive stops against KC (which it proved to be), then you know a 24-7 lead is nowhere near safe in that spot. Possessing the ball becomes of the utmost importance in games like that. The Texans didn't execute well enough there, so it's easy to say it was a bad idea with hindsight, but the way the game played out proved that with KC's offense those are the kinds of risks the Texans had to take and succeed at if they wanted to win. If they'd punted it 40 yards instead, the ensuing 7 drives suggest the only difference on KC's next possession would have been a few extra plays to score a TD. If the Texans succeed there they not only prevent Mahomes from scoring in the only effective way (keeping him off the field) but have a chance to go down a build a more secure lead before KC starts their inexorable comeback. Sorenson made a great individual play to stop the conversion- major props to him. However not instantly going for it later 4th and short shows a serious BoB blindspot. No defending that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
