I am not sure how much it lightens up as they have to go to Pittsburgh with a presumably healthy Roethlisberger and then play Minnesota who could be very tough if Kubiak gets that offense running the way he has gotten offenses to run in the past. I really won't be surprised if they start 0-4.
In past years, I'd welcome the 0-4 start because it would likely be the end of BOB. With him being the GM as well, I doubt anything changes. Same ol' bs
Surprised no, not with those specific teams (@Tenn week 6, and Packers week 7 also,) but they have one of the easiest remaining SOS through the rest of the season. Granted SOS doesn’t mean a ton when it’s based on last years results.
I disagree. If we can somehow figure a way out of Watson's contract and trade him for a 2nd + another RB, we'll be well on our way.
I would have applauded them doing this a few years ago. I suppose its a step in the right direction but BOB's GMing is really going to hurt the Texans going forward.
Exactly. Damage from GM Bob is already done and will last for years. If 4 games was enough to get him fired he never should have been given so much power last offseason in the first place. That's negligent ownership.
Maybe we can hope the negligent owners are negligent enough to sell to better owners next? We fans can dream right?
). Cut one of Mercilus or Cobb in the offseason and designate it a post June cut. Cut Kelemete and maybe try to bring an offensive line coach in that actually knows what they are doing. Both Scharping & Howard have regressed badly this year, and Martin is playing poorly at Center too.Crennel was only an interim coach once before, with the Chiefs in 2011. He was then hired as KC's head coach but was fired the next season.

Didn't even get 2 more days.Well he should get at least 2 more weeks.
Nope.
Watson is no longer trade-able, BOB signed him to the 2nd largest contract extension behind only Mahomes a month ago just before week 1 and it has a no trade clause.
If they traded him this offseason they would take a $21M dead cap hit. Right now they’re projected to be over the cap by $11M next year, so that would probably be impossible for them to work out absorbing that much dead money.
While it’s not necessarily his fault BOB ran off Brandon Brooks, Ben Jones, and Duane Brown, Devlin should have been fired years ago. He’s had 5 years and the o’line has been awful every year. Some of that is BOB’s ridiculous schemes, but they are struggling with basic protection against vanilla defensive fronts, and been outright terrible against pressure looks through 4 games.
His signing bonus was relatively small so the hit from a trade isn’t large as most of the guarantees for 2021 thru 2023 are on his base salary. The problem is that he has veto power with the no trade clause. That will make it difficult to trade him anywhere that will be willing to take on that contract, that is willing to to pay anything worthwhile in draft picks on top of that, and that he would agree to go to.
Maybe, but you just canned a former college coach. Why bring in another? I would look at the NFL ranks for your next head coach.
Sure hope not. Can't speak for other fans but I doubt that would make anyone here happy. The Texans define mediocre. Fisher is the ultimate mediocre coach. I guess in that sense it's a match, but certainly not the way I'd hope they go.
There are still fans that would like him from the Oilers days, but please no. Game passed him by many years ago. I was sad when the Titans let him go finally as it meant they may actually do something for once. I agree on the NFL ranks comment, McDaniels name will likely be thrown around a lot with the Easterby connection, but I don't want another Patriot Way experiment. Hopefully by now owners have realized that the fruit from the Belichick coaching tree apparently is sour. How many guys have failed prior to BOB, and it's not like Patricia is currently thriving in Detroit. Vrable should be far enough removed to not really be considered as part of that same line IMO.
Wish I wouldn't have said "cultural change" in my post a few spots above considering their reasoning in firing Palcic. At this point I'm just ready for Cal to sell the team.Buckna said:
