Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Sympathy for the Devil.


Not that our owner Bob Mcnair is bad guy, but I always suspect people of his insane wealth to have stomped the proverbial  necks in their rise to power. Plus I thought it made for a catchy headline.I wanted to make a point about our loss to the Arlington Glitz, that no one has mentioned .Which is that man deserved his employes to step up for him.

Star-divide

He has done everything right for his people. Given them the tools to do their job to the best of his ability. Treated them fairly, and rewarded hard work and productivity. Dre wants to be the highest paid reciever in the NFL, DONE. Kubes wants some security with a contract extension as a reward for turning a incompetent team into a promising, respectable organization, NO PROBLEM. Rick Smith thinks Ahman Green can help us win, though he wont come cheaply, GET IT DONE. 

My point is, he is a great boss. He is willing to give his important people what they deserve, whether it be money, power,security and in Cushings' case moral and emotional support . He has no problem cutting his loses with unproductive employees, which he is already heavily invested . I can tell you from personal experience it is great to have a boss that understands it is not fair to the fellow co-workers ,to have a weak link that is overpaid.

What does he get for all this? In the most financially important game since inception to the league? He had his employees collectively drop the ball and lay an egg.. My industry slang would be  " THOSE GUYS MOTHER F#$*ED HIM". How many neutral fans would have converted from that one win? 50,000? 100,000? 300,000? Band-wagoners needed a reason to believe. People with low football I.Q. were using this game as the litmus test. Those guys flat out cost him serious money . Only making the playoffs will recover a nice chunk of those loses.

It is funny that the one time Gary blames the players I BLAME HIM. He did not make the offensive or defensive adjustments. He did not have the offense ready to roll. How can you come away with 9 points in three trips to the redzone, have three turnovers, deny Foster, your most potent play maker this year, over 20 touches and blame your pre-pubescent secondary ? Absolutely they sucked, but if that surprised you, go run the damn offense in Green Bay.He should have game-planed better. Schaub should not have had his worst game in 2 years vs. Dallas. I am all for Kubiac, I think him and Rick Smith will get us there. But throwing the pups under the bus is just wrong. Maybe Smith and him should stop turning a blind eye to FREE-SAFETY in the draft and free agency. Anybody with a brain knew those receivers were a damn nightmare for our secondary, Schaub and company needed to be prepared to hang another 30, at least consume clock and keep the D off the field.

In closing all I can say is I feel like the team let Boss man down. I have earned respect in my field by being the guy that will make you look good. Understands there are times when a boss or owner needs you to pour your heart into your work, and be on point. That certain times, failure just simply isn't a option. Not because I will look bad, but because the guy that signs my paycheck will look bad. These guys, Kubiac on down, just showed no loyalty  or empathy, and that is something Mcnair has mostly shown them.

That being said, I am sure Mcnair probably has a damn money pit he swan dives into right after snorting a line off the thigh of a university cheerleader. Our guys will  regroup, they always do. Can not wait for our team to be in the playoffs this year. Thanks god for the continued improvement , GO TEXANS!!!!

Tried it. Nada.

I, amongst many other of the core contributors at Stampede Blue, are officially boycotting the site due to the deplorable "leadership" of head blogger BigBlueShoe. We ask, but do not expect, support, from you, our fellow fans, regardless of your team affiliation. The ideals of fairness and respect that are the foundation of this great sport that we all love should not stop at the chalk on the boundaries of the gridiron, but should continue through to the fans and beyond. To show your support you may email dhalprin123@gmail.com at SBNation and respectfully ask for the removal of Brad Wells as head blogger of Stampede Blue. Thank You.

I must admit that I hadn't seen the things you pointed out, and I cannot disagree with:

1) You’re right about Kubiak’s curious timing NOT to say “It’s on me”. Arguably it was. Of course the players collectively did not play with the same intensity we saw in the 1st 2 games, but agree that the game plan could have been better. Cowboys prepared for Mario by not only rolling away from him, but throwing mostly very short routes. We should have made the same concessions to DeMarcus Ware. Butler held his own against him, and if Schaub had shorter routes called he may not have been hit as much. Yes the Cowboys coverage was superior, but shorter routes = quicker reads, which would help Matt dump the ball instead of getting sacked.

2) Arian Foster, although being successful, was not given enough carries. AF is improving rapidly and the Texans would be wise to make sure he consistently gets 18 – 25 carries per game.

3) Let’s finally draft a FS in the 1st 3 rounds. Enough is enough. We DO need a FS.

It took the Astros 44 years to get to the Series, the Oilers-Texans are due to get to the big dance...Go Texans!!!!!

I didn't realize Kubes didn't take responsibility

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes the playcalling on offense and defense sucked. Pretty much all game – they did get lucky on one draw play – but that is like a 1 in 100 happening.
