    Post-game prediction:
    We didn't execute
    It's on me to coach better
    We will fix mistakes

    lol. Just did everything else, including the General Management.

    I know BoB was shitty throughout the entire game, but that shitty defensive setup by Romeo at the end to allow Ginn to get that 10 yard catch.....horrible call.

    Brees needs 40 yards, so you play prevent defense and let him have it

    I mean...it’s just not hard to be logical.

    You clearly didn’t watch the game if you’re actually blaming obrien.

    This was baffling, and it cost them the game. Period. I was screaming at the television pre-snap because I couldn’t ****ing believe what I was seeing. Mind bogglingly stupid formation under the circumstances.

    Fire Romeo
    Fire Bill
    Take all your Patriots coaches, Patriots players, "Patriot Way" and shove them up Belichick's ass.

    I’m replying to myself because I want everyone to see this bullshit defensive formation in case they missed it...

    This may not be fair. It may not make any sense. But, I just can't stand to even look at Bill O'Brien anymore. Listening to him is even worse. Everything about him says failure.

    I'm on board. I typically try to stay even keeled about such things but in this case a change is absolutely necessary.

    Preface this by saying I don't trust BOB to lead us anywhere, but this loss on him? come on.. That was defense and no one else. not poor clock management, not poor timeouts, the DEFENSE.

    Did you see the final defensive down? I don't know if that was on Romeo or Bill but that was literally one of the worst times to call for prevent defense when you knew the Saints were going for a little 7-10 yard pass.

    As much as RAC and the defense bouyed and bailed BOB's ass out his first 3-4 years in town... RAC still works for BOB.

    His failures are BOB's failures all the same.

    Im not trying to be a Bill supporter, but cmon, when the defense was good, it was RAC bailing bill out and when it sucks is on Bill? The defense sucked all game, everyone complains BOB is an offensive coach with no offense, the team got the lead with 37 seconds and couldnt keep them under 40 yards. RAC and the corners lost that game.

    Pretty much. It's BOB's job to know when RAC can't cut it anymore.

    Nobody thinks Bill has much to do with the defense day to day, but he's still responsible for knowing when it's time to make a change.

    That's why he gets the big chair.

    I'm tired of this. They get a lead and go into turtle mode. No killer instinct. They lose all momentum and lose the lead. So now they take the training wheels back off and Watson wills them to a lead, only to blow it with more ultra conservative play calling. The Texans finally have the personnel for a great offense, but never put the pedal to the metal.

    LOL you geniuses acting like PREVENT defense was invented by RAC and he's the only one to every get burned by it. Must not have watched Oilers, Chiefs, Colts, Vikings, etc... over the years. We'll I'll tell you there is a saying that goes "PREVENT defense PREVENTS you from winning" and that's been around a hella of lot longer then the Texans franchise has.
