TMD: I'm right, you're wrong. Any examples you have against me I'll disagree with based on anything I can think of.
That's basically what this topic has amounted to. Bill O'Brien has not been impressive to me so far. I don't care how many temper tantrums he throws. His team has the talent for him to be 3-4. Heck, they have the talent to be 5-2, so the fact that they aren't doesn't speak well of him to me at all.

Its not, but sad that thats how you think.
Anyone that doesn't embrace mediocrity and criticizes our guys where needed, you say the above.

yeah, he was brought up

Not sure how 3-4 in your rookie year without anything from your first round pick isn't impressive to you.
I highly doubt Bradley would have been 3-4 with that exact same roster....
If Bradley coached that roster, he'd likely be 1-6 at best and we'd likely be hearing about how he's still just a rookie head coach from a lot of you.
I can see why TMD likes the press conference though.

If Bradley had that roster they would likely be 6-1. If O'brien had our roster I highly doubt he would have even scored a single touchdown yet. See how easy that is?

Except Bradley's resume suggests otherwise. 5-18. Biggest negative point differential in NFL for 2 years running, now.
Kinda hurts the above claim.
O Brien's success at PSU as head coach despite the adversity there, and his record so far as a rookie head coach, also hurts the above claim.

What's this got to do with O'briens weak minded meltdown? Gus Bradley has mind [BLEEP] you.

You claimed something and I was providing support to disprove the likelyhood of it.
As far as BOB's "meltdown".....just further evidence that he's a bad [BLEEP] that won't tolerate losing. He didn't tolerate it from his MVP, 3 time SB winning QB in New England, and he's not going to tolerate it now, as head coach.
Quote:This is one of the funnier/more pathetic threads that have popped up in a while.
It's intense in here, that's for sure.
Looking at identical opponents the Jags allowed only 17 points to the Steelers. The Texans allowed a 30 burger to be dropped on them
using this reasoning its obvious that the Gus Bradley coached Jaguars are much better than the Bill O'Brien coached Texans.

How do you know that We wouldn't have allowed 30 to Pittsburgh at their place?....or that the Texans wouldn't have only allowed 17 vs Pitt had they played the Texans at Reliant Stadium?
We played the Steelers here.

Just answer honestly. Do you truly believe that his display of anger will make his players better on the field? Yes or no.
Next, Do you truly believe that because you have not seen a public meltdown by Bradley that he is accepting of mediocrity? Also yes or no.
No, 3-4 in your rookie year isn't good when you consider the talent the Texans have. They're just a year removed from a 12-4 year. That was with Matt Schaub. And it's not like most of their losses last year were blowouts.
I guess you only consider talent when it's convenient for you. But the talent a coach has matters.

How do you know that it would not have been a fifty burger in Texas? See how that works?
I remember when the Texans were gonna be great because they hired O'Brien and they were going to get their QB either at #1 or trading for Mallett and they were just going to takeover the division for the next decade. Now they're looking mediocre with a head coach throwing fits at the podium lol

I think BOB's display of anger (and subsequent [BLEEP] whooping in practices all week) will indeed have a positive effect in the results of next week game for the Texans, as well as have a psychological benefit long term in the minds of his team that losing is not acceptable/ won't be tolerated.

They also went 2-14 last year.
I am figuring in talent. I think Bradley with the Texans roster is still likely 1-6. If he's lucky, maybe 2-5. Bradley's track record isn't just his record but the point differential has been a league worst for 2 years running, now. Worst offense in football.

And all Mallett is good for is highlights of him trying to murder the starter so he can get on the field.

Nothing about that press conference screams bad [BLEEP] to me. Man was about to start crying.
Yeah, why hasn't the Great mind of O'Brien decided to ditch Fitztragic and start future All-pro and Future hall of famer Ryan Mallett? I mean surely the combo of Mallett and O'Brien can do better than Kubiak and Schaub did two years ago.

Generally the home team does better in the NFL, (hence the likelyhood of the Texans giving up less than the 30 they gave up on the road vs Pitt in the hypothetical of playing the Steelers at Reliant), but ignore that fact.
