How did the Texans go from so good to so bad so fast?  That's crazy.

 

 

Well,they started the season with two wins then the shakiness at the QB  position, along with injuries to TE Owen Daniels, S Danieal Manning, LB Brian Cushing and RB  Arian Foster helped to cripple to club,leading to an elven game losing streak.

 

This paved the ouster of  HC Gary Kubiak  who had a  61-64 record, with a 2-2 mark in the postseason.

The injuries to Cushing and Foster were big, and Daniels is good too... but I still don't see this epic collapse just from that.

 

 

if you have no QB, you have no chance in the NFL, no matter how wondrous a coach you are. Schaub has been a productive and playoff-worthy QB in this league, and Kubiak  seemed helpless to restore Schaub's game and stabilize Houston's rapidly sinking season. It would be ironic if Kubiak was hired in large part because he knew his way around the game's most pivotal position, and then was fired because he couldn't fix the fatal flaws of his own starter, dragging down his entire team in the process.

 

The immensely talented but woefully underachieving Houston  team had sprung multiple leaks and sank lower and lower, with problems that involved more than just shaky quarterbacking. For starters, what happened to the Texans' once-dominant defense that coordinator Wade Phillips had breathing fire for most of the past two seasons? Like Kubiak, Phillips as a head coach in Denver, Buffalo and Dallas often struggled to stop the bleeding once his teams started losing. The problem-solving skills of both coaches had left a lot to be desired this year.

 

But when the sky starts falling, that's exactly when a coach is expected to find solutions and execute some season-saving maneuvers that help his team find its way out of its funk. The best ones figure out how to get the losing streak stopped, and start piecing the puzzle back together as quickly as possible.Undoubtly Kubiak couldn't do that.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      Tight ends in the first round just have so much risk. Even guys that look like guarantees at the position, fail. OJ Howard is a big one that comes to mind (and I REALLY liked him and thought he was going to be a stud in the NFL). I know that every player/position can be a gamble, but when you look at Kyle Pitts (he's come a long way, but he has clearly underperformed), TJ Hockenson, Hayden Hurst, Noah Fant, Eric Ebron, etc., NONE of these guys changed the dynamic of their team for the better. Zero. In fact, most of them end up being traded before their rookie deal is up. This draft has some good tight ends. I wouldn't spend a 1st on one.

      Not true. I mean, come on dude. You went to "above average" to "solid." The teams that I mentioned have at least three solid options. Let's not waste time going through the motions.  But, maybe someone will see it as fun. Njigba, Shaheed, Kupp (maybe even Barner and/or Arroyo). I didn't even lost everyone. The Jags, Minny, Detroit. I could probably go on. Our WR corps is just not up to snuff. Just admit it.
