And by winnable you of course mean there's a possibility of the opponent imploding the way the titans did.
It's possible, I wouldn't count on it happening again to that extent.

Yet, look at the ways the Texans have already imploded in games this season.
At least going into their game against the Jaguars this coming Sunday, the Texans parts are much greater than their sum.
I can't see any scenario where we beat the Tinhorns on the road this week. Has anybody watched Chad Henne for crying out loud?
After we get blown out this week, TMD will switch his focus of panic to Minnesota tanking and stealing our beloved #1 pick.
You should probably be more worried about Watt and Clowney on the same d-line rather than our QB situation.

The texans problems so far have apparently been due to their QB falling apart at half time with the rest of their team.
The good news for them is that Henne absolutely falls apart when it's time for him to make a second half play, too. So unless Keenum hands it to the Jaguars on a silver player with a bunch of pick sixes I don't see any way the Jaguars can win.

With the way Gary Kubiak pulled Case Keenum against the Raiders and basically saying he would do the same thing again if the circumstances are similar, it could easily adversely affect the play of Keenum and his supporting cast. It's realistically possible the Texans will come out with unified focus for their game against the Jaguars and their talent will be way too much for the Jaguars to overcome. Yet, it's been a long time since the Texans played anything close to a complete game. This is a team that has already played down to the level of their competition on more than one occasion this season. The fact that Andre Johnson lost confidence in the Texans direction is not a good sign for Gary Kubiak's future as HC of the team.

If were discussing Kubiak, hes a dead man walking. Reports are McNair called a meeting with the minority owners and they advised him that coaching had to change, and perhaps the GM as well.
Hard to believe the Texans could fall to a level below us in such a short time.

Yes, its what I said in post 16

exactly. The Texans imploding is nothing new this season.

Which of course is bad news for us, and the remainder of the AFC South...
The Texans won't mess around with a "Gus Bradley" level coaching hire...they'll get a good one.
Welcome back, BattleRed.
Your post implied that we can beat your team by blitzing and, I'm assuming, sacking your QB.
We just don't do that around here. You'll get your 3rd win out of us, either on Sunday or in a couple weeks.

Right...
Because Bob McNair would never hire a retread Head Coach washout like Dom Capers. Oh wait...
And it's not like McNair would ever stand for a coach going 8-8 for consecutive seasons in his second and third years. Oh wait...
Well, McNair would
definitely fire a Head Coach after his second 6-10 season, right? Nope, he let that happen too...
Hmmmmm, maybe Houston isn't all that well run of a franchise after all.

What kind of odds would you give me that they hire Jack Del Rio?

We would be so fortunate.
Just the thought of it makes me giddy.

....don't tease me like that.
I can only PRAY that happens!!!!!!!!

Low. Hes already interviewed for the USC job, and USC will give it to him of he wants it. The Texans would have to reach hard to get him.
They might look at a defensively oriented HC though. Their last 2 hires were from the offensive side of the ball, and it hasnt worked out. Wouldnt be surprised to see McNair try and change it up.

I'd doubt McNair hires a defensive minded coach. Nobody does that anymore, well almost nobody <sigh>..., and the ones that do, you don't really see any real success. People will cite Pagano, but lets face it, without Andrew Luck, who is among the better QB prospects to come into the league in a long time, Pagano isn't winning in Indy....and to be honest, he still might not be even with Luck. Carroll is probably the only recent example....and he's a rare case as he's had plenty of head coach experience (and he hasn't done much in the playoffs, either)

Of the eight teams currently in first place, six of them are "defensive minded" coaches. Belichick, Lewis, Pagano, Fox, Schwartz, Carroll.
Thud.

And all of them are in that position because of their team's offense.
But what we're really getting to here is that the coach is only of minor importance compared with the passing game. Get Calvin Johnson and suddenly you can coach. Get AJ Green and suddenly you can coach. Get Andrew Luck and suddenly you can coach.

Was I talking about long time head coaches? No. I said recent ones.
Belichick is one of the rare ones that understands how important a good offense really is. Most Defensive minded coaches are like Del Rio and are grunts that just want to run the ball most of the time and try to win every game 13-10. Fox isn't letting JDR do that now though, JDR is merely a headset rack until Fox returns.
That same (Belichick) argument could be made to a lesser extent with Lewis. He's tried to build a top flight offense and made a legit effort to attain that by both the personnel and coaching (Gruden) that they brought in.
Pagano & Fox aren't anything special and I doubt either will win a Title even with 2 of the best QB in the league.
IMO Schwartz is terrible (sorry D6) and I already discussed Carroll.

Four of the six were hired in the last 4 years. But I am sure you could just find a reason to discount that. You're desperate.
