PUT YOUR NAME ON IT: The Texans' Record At Season's End Will Be...

PrintMuch, much more on the latest disappointment later today and in the days to come, but seeing as how we're now halfway through the 2010 season, I figure now's as good a time as any to weigh in with how we think the rest of the season's going to go.
Your Houston Texans have 4 wins. There are another 8 games to play. Come the end of the regular season, what will the Texans' record be? Vote in the poll below and explain yourself in the Comments. The predictions and brief explanations for same of various BRB contributors are after the jump.
TexansDC: The optimist still says 10-6, as I said in the summer. Aside from the New York game, the Texans have been in every game. No one on the schedule scares me from a match-up standpoint, especially when Cleveland, Buffalo, and Detroit are playing teams tough. I think these guys can get it together and go 6-2 down the stretch.
The pessimist? 6-10. Football Outsiders was right on their projection. Schedule is too tough. The bottom just falls out completely.
The realist? 8-8. The team's inconsistent. The defense has holes. The offense is prone to mistakes and mismanagement.
The NFL is far too unpredictable this season. I need many beers.
Mike Kerns: Two games into the preseason, I did my prediction for the team and couldn't come up with any scenario where Houston finished better than 8-8. A couple of other scenarios took me to 6-10, but (sadly) being optimistic kept me at 8-8. And while it seems right now that the team has no shot against teams like Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia, which will make it even a long shot to finish .500, I'm going to stick with my original pick of 8-8. Because once December rolls around and the games don't matter anymore, there isn't a better team or coach in football.
tehGrindCrusher: I still say 8-8, as I did at the beginning of the season, with about a 60% likelihood. I also give about a 20% likelihood of 9-7 and 7-9 each.
Tim: 7-9, only because I remain stupidly optimistic that we'll split our remaining division games. Aside from that, the only game I'd feel even remotely good about Houston winning is beating the Broncos in Denver. Try as I might, I can't come up with any objective reasons as to why this squad, in its current state, can beat the Jets in New Jersey, the Eagles in Philadelphia on a short week, and/or the Ravens at Reliant on Monday Night Football. The issues facing this team aren't going away without a serious intervention, and the organization doesn't seem capable of adjusting mid-season to what's staring them in the face. Stock up on bleach for the holiday season.
MDC: 6-10. I can't even pick two teams that we'll beat, but it seems reasonable to think that Arian Foster and Andre Johnson alone are worth two more wins over half a season. Sadly, we'll probably be "close" (parentheses to indicate irony) in 6 or 7 of them, only to see our historically bad secondary, our manatee coaching staff, or the execrable Zac Diles blow it. I hate Sundays now and just want the season to end. I'm almost rooting for a 2011 lockout to save me from another year of this.
bigfatdrunk: I'll go with what Matt said. I don't see one more win on the schedule.
In retrospect, I probably should have warned you to put sunglasses on before reading those predictions. All the sunshine and bright light emanating from these happy people could damage your eyes.

I have to go with 6-10
I think we win 1 game against the Jags and we beat the broncos. Then let the beheadings begin.
I'll call the rest of the games here for a 7-9 finish:
WIN @ Jags
LOSS @ Jets
LOSS vs Titans
LOSS @ Eagles
LOSS vs Ravens
LOSS @ Titans
WIN @ Broncos
WIN vs Jags
I hope I’m wrong, I really do, but the math and Kubilogic look like 7-9
Reminder: COD Black Ops 11.09.2010
I'm not predicting win, but I'll give a reason why Houston could beat Baltimore...
Baltimore will face Pittsburgh in a physical battle on the road the week before the MNF game while Houston will have a mini-bye week thanks to the Thursday night Philly game.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I was optimistic about that mini-bye week too when I saw the schedule
except the Texans don’t come out of bye weeks with any interest in playing football for some reason. New leadership might help with that motivational void.
Reminder: COD Black Ops 11.09.2010
8-8
Win @ Jags, then lose the next 4 games and fall out of playoff contention. They will wrap up the season with 3 straight wins in typical Kubiak fashion because this team only plays well with absolutely nothing on the line.
Here's some optimism!
At least we aren’t the Cokeboys.

If the Bills took Baltimore to overtime, that means we have a chance
However that depends on if Kubiak implements the gameplan he used in the first three quarters against the Chargers

I think it's more than that, though.
I mean I know our DTs are nothing to write home about but I get the distinct impression that Mario just isn’t playing with a lot of intensity out there. I mean they’re not even double teaming him, he should be able to make mincemeat out of single coverage if he were trying. I remember during the Redskins game, I heard that fans in the stands pissed off Mario and he went out in the second half and went batshit on the field. Before then he didn’t do a whole lot. Why can’t he play like Super Mario for a full 60 minutes every week?
I am a visionary, I am a genius, and now I am angry! Now help me find my pants!
by UprootedTexan on Nov 8, 2010 6:10 PM CST up reply actions
I totally agree about Mario.
Mario is an overpaid lazy ass walking disaster. He fires up for one or two plays per half, then coasts and “patty cakes” the majority of the game. He’s not hungry, doesn’t give a shit, and sleeps well at night in his mansion after driving his Lambo home from the game.
Reminder: COD Black Ops 11.09.2010
he is our best D lineman and it aint close
but if we could get a shaun rogers and a 2nd, i would trade him and use that money for coaching and coordinators
it will NEVER happen
Mario has no help. If they can double him constantly, he is not going to get anything.
Need someone to take off the pressure.

If they get rid of Mario...
It’s 3-4 time, baby, which I’d welcome at this point.
However, I think by the time we get that up and running, we’ll have missed the boat and 3-4 defenses won’t be trendy or effective any more.
I think the oline is good enough that we dont need to focus a high draft pick on it.
Other than that I agree with you.
I would add Lineback to that as well to be honest. We need another playmaker. 80% of Hamstrings TEARS in the NFL don’t come back and those who do are almost NEVER the same.
No one is talking about it, but I would go ahead and NOT count on Demeco coming back as anywhere near the guy he was.

I think he'll do enough to get himself fired though
the wins will be too close for comfort & the losses will be horrific enough to McNair to give him the ax

by The Night Owl on Nov 8, 2010 10:55 AM CST up reply actions
What will probably keep Kubiak from being fired
is not even something he does or doesn’t do. It’s McNair looking around the rest of the league and seeing the same or worse (Dallas, Buffalo, Carolina) and realizing it’s a combination of things that take a team to a championship. Just having expensive stars (Dallas) doesn’t get it done. Just having a good coach doesn’t always get it done. Who is out there that would come to Houston anyway? Can the fans take another 3 to 5 years of patience while another coach sets up their system? Do the fans have to wade through 3 to 5 years of just being an average team before change is applied?
I’d say McNair has possibly a more difficult decision to make regarding coaching than does Jerry Jones. I’d try to bring in a new GM and President (the way the Browns did with Holmgren, or Miami did with Parcels) and get this organization to the next level with some solid leadership before I start playing the “head coach wheel of fortune”.
Reminder: COD Black Ops 11.09.2010
The situation we are now
is the same as last year when we megafailed against Jax and Tenn. Everyone was calling for Kubes’ head, everyone was angry. But then the Texans owned the Dolphins and played one of their best games ever vs the Patriots to end the season and all of a sudden everyone was happy.
Point being, we made it to 9-7 last year, we can do it again.
"I was laughing at you" - Jayson Werth explains to Brett Myers why he got picked off 2nd base on an intentional walk.
....and surprisingly
the fans will be happy that they saw flashes of greatness from an “average” team. I’m setting aside my ego and emotions for a second. I’m not thinking about the tens of thousands of dollars I’ve pissed away being a PSL season ticket owner. I’m finally accepting the fact that this is an “average” team in a league where there can be long running successful dynasties, long running losing teams that humiliate their fans, and a lot of average teams that never really suck but never really soar to the top either.
…and surprisingly
McNair will still be satisfied since his stadium remains full and the revenue dollars justify the effort, and the single malt scotch he has to wash down his frustrations of not having a championship keep him from being too jaded. Especially when he looks North with a tongue in cheek and feels better that his “average” team looks better on paper than that of Mr. Jones.
…and NOT surprisingly
Nothing will happen (firings) and we’ll be typing the same crap next year about our “average” team.
Reminder: COD Black Ops 11.09.2010
It's really quite simple
First, I devised an equation to quantify the declining expectations of Texans fans and their perceived value of decline of the team’s output as it has declined.
Next, I analyzed the factors that directly relate to the performance of the Texans to date this season, such as turnover ratio, points scored for and against, and ratio of pass vs. rush on offense in critical games that were up for grabs, and Brian Cushing weaning off of steroids. I was able to do this by isolating the factors that had negligible or indeterminable effect on the success of the team using an orthogonal array. Thus, I was able to eliminate those noise factors from all other meaningful factors.
Some noise factors, being more robust are easily identified and eliminated. Other, such as weather or injuries are uncontrollable factors and their effect is indeterminable to the end results.
Finally, I flipped a coin eight times.
The determination of this time-consuming and very exhaustive study resulted in a Texans final season record of 8-8.
I dub the Chargers.....Cromartieless, Merrimanless, Tomlinsonless....WHO ARE THESE GUYS?
I wouldn't be that surprised if we took 3 of the next four
I’m probably alone in that, but we will see.

Of course
everyone on here wrote the season off weeks ago. We lose by 6 points to the number one ranked offense and defense in football and everyone is ready to give up on the season entirely. At 4-4 making the playoffs is a long shot, but I have no reason to jump to the conclusion that we are about to witness a complete and utter collapse.
I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out WRONG! That one... too fat! This one... too tall! This one... too symmetrical!
I agree that we won't witness a
complete and utter collapse. The Texans would have to have something “to” collapse. They are flailing, inconsistent, and regressing in too many areas. Then again, aside from the Giants, Packers, Titans, and Steelers, the majority of the NFL is in a state of confusion and flux.

Haha! Nolander, what are you waiting for?
I know, I shouldn’t laugh. Whatever is holding you up…. hope, trust in Smithiak, some paranormal force beyond my conception… it must be pretty powerful and ingrained in your psyche, and something I should not toy with.
I dub the Chargers.....Cromartieless, Merrimanless, Tomlinsonless....WHO ARE THESE GUYS?
I don't see how losing by 6 points
to the Chargers is a sign of a collapse. I just don’t.
I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out WRONG! That one... too fat! This one... too tall! This one... too symmetrical!
Because that was the best shot they've given anyone in weeks.
At home. With a blocked punt gimme. Against a team missing missing most of its top targets (again). And they still came up short. It just doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season… The Chargers might be good yardage-wise, but they were still one of the easier games remaining on the schedule.
You really are trying hard to convince yourself of how bad the chargers are
They did pretty damn good with almost the exact same recievers over the last couple weeks against the tits and the patriots, but lets not let facts get in the way of hysteria. We won against the chiefs, remember?
I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out WRONG! That one... too fat! This one... too tall! This one... too symmetrical!
"They were who we thought they were".
They gave us a free seven points on special teams and coughed up a fumble. Same Chargers team as always; they just handed it to us without Antonio Gates in the line-up for their first road-win of the season.
They’re no better than Baltimore, NYJ, Philly, and I’d argue Tennessee (yes, head-to-head etc.; there’s more to it than that).
That’s not to say that some of those teams won’t play down to our level and give us a win or two. But this was our best chance at keeping our playoff hopes alive in the face of a tough remaining schedule, and they game up short even with a few breaks going their way.
Same can be said for you
You are trying hard to convince yourself that this team still has a chance. As for the Chiefs game, I dont think weve ever felt worse about a loss. We knew we did not look good that game at all and we were all nervous about where this team was.
The games against the Titans and the Patriots they had Antonio Gates and the other missing receivers and their starting Guard that was out for the game against us. You need to take the blinders off so you can see the facts.
I felt horrible about scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter you are right
I don’t expect this team to make the playoffs, but I also know better then to assume that at best we can win 3 more games.
I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out WRONG! That one... too fat! This one... too tall! This one... too symmetrical!
I dont assume we can win 3 games at best the rest of the year
I think 2 games is more realistic
at best we can win 3

No not really
but thanks for playing

I believe
we are third, but it really doesn’t matter.
Frank Bush is still being paid to coordinate the eleven starters who don’t play offense.

thats no indication of anything

The Raiders have been the measuring stick of futility for the last several years
If you arent better than them you are a very bad team. Not to mention they have a better point differential than us and have scored more on offense. Granted they have played one more game but we would have to score 42 points against the Jags to tie them for points scored.
Or maybe they are just a good team this year
derp derp

Futility in the past =/= futility now
"Lord, beer me strength."
The team's lack of any moves to fix the defense is a self-fulfilling prophecy in this way
Why should we have faith that this team is going to turn it around when they give up 24+ points in all 8 games and act like everything is just dandy?
I’m not saying I’ve given up on the season, there’s a lot of football left and stranger things have happened. But when you consider the context of those losses: to two teams that while traditionally strong, were completely handicapped by injuries in their passing games. The fact that a bunch of no-name receivers completely ravaged our back seven on command. The lack of Arian Foster against the Colts and leaving so many points on the board against the Chargers.
I haven’t given up on the season, but it doesn’t take much to see why the fanbase is so disgruntled with this team right now.

I think there's a wide spectrum....
Some downright pissed and the sky is falling……..some who are “told ya so”…..some who are not surprised, wouldn’t be surprised either way……and some who aren’t ready to call it yet based on the fact that there are 8 games left and plenty of time.
At times, I would agree with your statement…that sometimes the pendulum swings a bit too much to the negative, but….at the end of the day, I love that there are passionate fans. I love that there are fans who give a damn because I’ve seen plenty of fans (for all teams) who are fairweather….who show up at games cause it’s “the cool thing to do”….and I love that there is a diehard portion of Texans fans.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Im still a diehard Texans fan
Ive watched every game since inception and attended two in person. My views are based out of the reality of the situation. Throughout Kubiak’s entire stint with the Texans when has he ever shown us that he can get this team to start a game well or manage the clock well or challange calls at the right times?
No changes have been made to this team during the entire season to see if another player on this team could do better. The coaches just keep hitting their head against a brick wall game in and game out and its beyond frustrating. Its like watching a car accident in slow motion, you know whats gonna happen but nothing you can do will stop it.
I wouldn't call it hysteria.....
I personally find it extremely sad, disheartening, and depressing that the majority of fans on this board called the Colts game down to almost the exact series of plays for the entire first half.
And I can guaran-damn-tee you if we the fans could and did the Colts did.
The Colts game to me sums up our coaching staff in a single game. Predictability FTL!!!!
And I am not a “sky is falling” reactionary….I have been saying Kubes needed to go since halfway through last season….and have only felt justified/vindicated as this season has unfolded. Kubes has been here since 2006 and his record is 6-10, 8-8, 8-8, 9-7, 4-4? If the cupboard was so bare and the talent so bereft, how was it he was able to wring a 6-10 record out of that team, but can’t get any better than 9-7 with the new players added?
I just don’t buy the players are that bad….the proof is in the fact that many of them regress their second season and then either stay there or continue to regress. Sounds like lack of coaching to me….or bad coaching.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
me neither
I am feeling pessimistic after this loss, but the NFL is so wildly unpredictable this season. And if Mark Sanchez continues to play poorly, he’ll merely look good against our secondary instead of completely shredding it.
Signs of acceptance
After Arian Foster’s non-touchdown yesterday (but before it was overturned), I just sat there quietly. My wife looked at me puzzled and said, “isn’t that good?” To which I just sighed and said, “I guess.”
Two minutes later, it was overturned and the depressing, yet wholly predictable, second half ensued.
I’m going with 7-9 because I think we’ll beat the Broncos and Jags once, and probably pull one good win out of our asses just to give us hope — because that’s how God seems to entertain Himself.

The reason our defense has been so bad...
Is because Frank Bush had been devoting his time to building a time machine instead of devising clever blitzes.
Now we have the technology, the man-power, and the know-how. Get the scientists working on the tube-technology!

10-6*
I’m a bit scared by the game at Tennessee, and at Philly. Of course I am ever the Texans Optimist.
*Add a win if either Frank Bush becomes Competent along with the rest of the D, or we get Wade Phillips or some other DC.
OK I feel better now...
I just finished watching the stream of Kubiak’s presser from 3:30, and the live stream of Sports 610 show with Kubiak at 5PM, followed by the 6PM show with Pollard and Sharpton.
Kubiak stressed that there are a lot of good things going on and a lot of progress being made, especially as they review the film and see individual improvement, but many critics and fans are only focusing on the few bad things that went wrong and cost them the game. He also stressed in one response to a caller’s question on Cushing, that Brian is doing a great job and that the numbers won’t show it for a MLB compared to SLB so don’t judge him on that. His responsibilities are different and he’s living up to the role very well.
Pollard and Sharpton were cutting up with their hosts so much it was obvious from that and their responses that they are not worried about the current situation that has many fans burning jerseys and writing off the season at 4-4. I guess if they don’t take it too seriously, then neither should we. Time to pop a cold one and hope for the best and not stress out anymore I guess.
*INSERT any activity on grass*......and Kareem Jackson will fall down
Lose the next two
Everyone gets pissed as fuck.
Win 6 straight
Somehow don’t make the playoffs.

It would be a miracle (which is what I am predicting)
But 10-6 most likely won’t get us in the playoffs. Damn you AFC!!!

Yeah, I went there. No December magic for Kubes this season to finish mediocre.

by HoustonTransplant on Nov 9, 2010 2:45 AM CST reply actions
I dont know about 4-12
but agree that there will be no December magic. I see only 2 winnable games the rest of the year and thats @Denver and home vs the Jags. Schedule is too tough. @NYJ @Philly @TEN home for Baltimore and TEN, too many tough games. Unless there is some amazing change in the locker room and the coaches learn to call a game like professionals or the players all turn into superstars overnight. But I dont see any of that happening.
I went with 7-9.
@ Jags- Win
@ Jets- Loss
vs Titans- Loss
@ Eagles- Loss
vs Ravens- Win
@ Titans- Loss
@ Broncos- Win
vs Jags- Loss
And the Ravens game is extremely iffy in my mind. Actually the 7-9 prediction is base on optimism on my part. The more I look at that schedule the more I see 5-11, because I don’t even feel good about the @Broncos game….simply for that reason….it’s at Denver. And the Jags I picked like I did simply because we will win on the road and lose at home against them, because we are the Texans.
