Well if the first game yesterday was thrilling, the second one was surely the opposite of that!! All Steelers points from field goals!! Originally Posted by Solemate62

About damn time. Here are some stats.

In 2015, 4 QBs combined for 28 TDs and 12 INTs. Offense scored 34 TDs. This year, Osweiler had 15 TDs and 16 INTs. Offense scored 23 TDs.

With QB problems, offense has gone from 17th to 19th to 29th this season when Osweiler became the starter. 31st in red zone TDs.

Next they need to bench Brock and get someone else although knowing Smith and O'Brien my guess is they stand pat and don't draft a QB in first or second round. Maybe a long shot in 3rd or 4th so they can tell everyone, "see we drafted a QB". Originally Posted by BigLouie

I have the feeling O'Brien just gave a rope to hang himself with by letting him finish the season.

The Texans have never had a top quality quarterback, except for a couple of good years from Schaub before his injuries. Time to suck it up and draft a top rated guy or buy a proven veteran like Minnesota did.

How did that work out in Minnesota?

Texans promoted Mike Vrabel to DC and made Romeo Crennel assistant HC. My guess is to keep Mike from leaving. Romeo probably retires next year.

What makes you think Rick Smith won't go for the trifecta by signing another unproven back up to a large contract?

On a side note those two championship games were about the worst I've seen in a long time.
