He's Toast

from what ive heard, people are saying this is gonna be their year when they finally make the playoffs. but, if he cant finish better than 8-8, hes gonna get fired.

have they ever beat the colts

On one hand you can see why.

On the other hand, he must be looking at the John McDaniels hire and laughing his ass off.

he better polish up that resume.

Yes, Josh! I got it!

Nothing worse than being mediocre and the owner thinking you are more than that?

Fire the bum.

Houston has been in the league 10 years. Their first few years were shot because they were stupid in drafting a QB and having NO offensive line. They have slowly gotten a line started, have a decent QB (if he can stay healthy), you have a great RB in Slaton and need another back to compliment him, a great receiver, good tight end and a developing defense.

And 50, it could be a worse. You could be the Cowboys and have everybody think you're great because of your talent, only to blow up year end and year out.....just saying.

Ouch! When you keep drafting at the top of every round year after year after year, you are bound to draft some talent. But you are right, they are getting better lately. And it is fair to say that they could make the play offs this year. But if making the play offs is the litmus test to keep the head coach there, then they could undo all the good they have done by firing him at the end of the season.

It's called pulling an "Isiah Thomas" on the boss.

I agree that the Texans are better because of Kubiak. He implemented an offensive line attack that has helped them run the football. And hey, you draft at the top of the line each year, get better and then move down the draft as you get better. They started off last year with one of the most difficult schedules for the first 4 games. That set them back quite a bit.
They lost to Oakland because they thought more of themselves than they should have.

They still need another legit WR to help take the pressure off Johnson and Daniels. Slaton is a handful and was their best draft pick for the pick (3rd round, >1000 yds as a rookie).....can you say "thanks God the Texans DIDN'T draft Reggie Bush?"

They drafted a DE to help free up Mario but still need some LB's as well as both FS and SS. They won't make the playoffs this year, but that is due more to their conference than anything else. In the AFC West, they're the second best team.

I am just excited that a Houston team is on here!!!!

Actually, they just may make the play offs. I think the AFC East had the easy schedule last year. Not this year. The Texans play the Bills, Seahawks, Rams ,Bengals and 49ers this year. The Raiders and Jets at home. Not one of those teams could be the favorite vs. the Texans this year. I would not rule the Texans out of the play offs this year. Not at all.

He won't last - he's white - and also he's not Bum Phillips reincarnate

It's good to see that you guys know what the hell is going on. First they have been in the league for 7 years not 10, second they are in the AFC south not west. And finally they drafted LBs and a DE. They will make the playoffs and will make it past the second round. I will take bets right now. This is Kube is 4th season coming up and other than the first year he came to Houston, he drafted in the middle rounds. Him and Smith totally rebuilt what Caper and Caserly have screwed up. You people just sit back and watch what they will do this year. It's no longer just make it to the playoffs, it's going beyond that.
