The bye is a perfect chance to get into first place by not having to play.

And there is no chance for injury... unless he plays with someone's dog again.

sugrlndkid · Nov 4, 2015

Their dominating performance against the bye, will result in a mad influx of viewership for next week...only then to fail miserably...

marks0223 · Nov 4, 2015

We got this. Texans take sole possession of 1st place...due to not having to play a game.

If BOB wanted him, he could have had him. They didn't have to IR him. See Arian.

Clowney will have a normal game for him, no sacks.

Even though they defeated Tennessee on Sunday, Texans owner Bob McNair isn’t happy with his team’s 3-5 record.

“I’m just as disappointed as they (fans) are,” he said Wednesday night. “We’re all disappointed.

“We’ve been surprising, to say the least.”

After the Week 7 Miami debacle, McNair said he was “miserable” and called his team’s performance “pathetic.”

Several members of the organization said they had never seen McNair as angry as he was after the 44-26 loss to the Dolphins.

They said McNair met with general manager Rick Smith and coach Bill O’Brien and told them they better get it worked out because games like Miami and Atlanta (a 48-21 loss) were unacceptable.

“Yeah, I was mad,” McNair said before he was honored as a Living Legend at an MD Anderson fundraiser. “I was unhappy. We didn’t put out the effort we should have. Everybody recognized it.

“It was pathetic. Miserable. Everybody was (embarrassed). We just can’t have that sort of thing.”

Like Smith and O’Brien last week, McNair disputed local and national reports that his coach and general manager are in a power struggle and can’t work together.

“I don’t know where those reports came from,” he said. “They’re totally inaccurate. There’s nothing to it. They work well together. If they disagree on something they come to me. They’ve never come to me.

“I don’t like to have these anonymous sources, people saying something and they don’t know what they’re talking about. That bothers me. I don’t like it.

“We’ve got a good organization. People work hard. They’re going to continue to work hard, and we’re going to get good results.”

Initial thoughts on the first half of the season?

I'm disappointed with the way we started out. Our last game was encouraging. I was quite pleased with the way our defense was outstanding, our QB played well, we're starting to get it together. We've had a lot of injuries and a lot of those guys are coming back. Unfortunately Arian Foster isn't one of them. We'll miss him. We'll be a lot stronger starting the 2nd half of the season. It's a new season so I'm very optimistic about it.

All we have to do is win our division. It doesn't matter what our record is. If you recall, Carolina was 7-8-1 and won their division. That's not where I want to be but if we're there and we win our division, it's a new game and we're in the playoffs. That's the key.

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - While encouraged by his team's win over the Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair wants his team's fans to know he feels their pain.

"I'm just as disappointed as they are," McNair said at the Hilton Americas Hotel where he was honored Wednesday night during an M.D. Anderson fundraiser as a Living Legend.

"We've been surprising, to say the least," he added. "I think the last game was encouraging to see our defense play the way it did. That's what we thought we'd have, but we didn't have it."

McNair knew from the beginning of the season the Texans would only go as far as their defense would take them.

"We knew our offense was not going to be a high-powered offense, but we felt our defense would be one of the top-five defenses, and we've been far from that," McNair said. "The good news is that this is a new season, and we're tied for first. The Colts have to play Denver, and we might be in first place by ourselves."

McNair said the Texans' plan for this season can work.

"The strategy that we have is a good strategy, and that is if we have a strong defense that holds the scoring down on the other side we'll score 20, 21 points, 22 points," McNair said. "We just got to keep the other team under 20. If we do that we'll be successful."

No one was more upset than McNair when his team was down 41-0 at the half to the Miami Dolphins.

"Miserable," McNair said. "Everybody was (embarrassed). It was pathetic. We can't have that sort of thing.

"Yeah, I was mad. I was unhappy. We didn't put out the effort we should have. Everybody recognized it, and next game, they turned it around."

And despite local and national reports that have said otherwise, McNair pointed out there is harmony within his organization, and that executive vice president and general manager Rick Smith and head coach Bill O'Brien have a good working relationship.

"I don't know where those reports came from," McNair said. "They're totally inaccurate. There's nothing to it. They work well together. If they disagree on something they come to me. They've never come to me.

"I don't like to have these anonymous sources, people saying something and they don't know what they're talking about. That bothers me. I don't like it. We've got a good organization. People work hard. They're going to continue to work hard, and we're going to get good results."

Like after every season, McNair will evaluate his organization from top to bottom, and that includes Smith and O'Brien.

"Everybody is evaluated at the end of each year, and yes we'll evaluate them," McNair said. "Just like our draft. We have some outside people come in. They evaluate our team. Just have somebody give us a third-party opinion as to what we have, what we might need. We do that every year, and we'll continue to do that. We analyze our draft and compare it to other teams. So everybody is evaluated. We all have to perform every day and try to get better."

Meanwhile, McNair wants Texans fans to know they mean a great deal to him.

"I appreciate the support of the fans," McNair said. "The fans have been great, and I know they've been disappointed. I've certainly been disappointed. Bill O'Brien's disappointed. Rick's disappointed. (Son) Cal, we're all disappointed. The players are disappointed.

"I think they've got it together in the last game, and if we keep playing defense the way we did in that last game, we'll give everybody a hard time, and that's where we want to be."

just a placeholder in the mediocrity that is the houston texans

Nimo · Nov 5, 2015

If good Hoyer keeps showing up, they can beat NY, Buffalo, Tennessee, Jacksonville, and maybe the Saints and the Colts. That's a 9-7 record. I know it is almost impossible but still...there's hope!

If bad Hoyer comes back then we we are looking at 5-11 as a worst case. That also means a top 10 draft pick. Houston, we have a QB. There's hope.

Uprising · Nov 5, 2015

Saw the interview of McNair...he actually did look pissed off with the team....I don't recall seeing him so disappointed / angry with the product....

Nimo · Nov 6, 2015

The team actually has a tight ends coach. John Perry. Why does he still have a job?

Mr. Clutch · Nov 6, 2015

Wow really?

Nothing like some high paid corporate consultants who tell you what you want to hear

Excellent points

Is this Peyton's first trip back to IND?

cheke64 · Nov 6, 2015

Texans should win this one easily. Jj watt has been a juggernaut. Hoyer is proving to be one of the all time greats qb Houston has ever had.
