"DeMeco Ryans said Ka'imi Fairbairn was instructed to kick the ball out of bounds and he didn't do that."
This is how you know the season is over.

Well we had a big flurry of bingo squares earned last night, unfortunately all but one of them came because Mike Evans broke his collarbone and is out for the season, or nearly all of it, meaning he isn't getting to 1,000 yards or 10 TD.
A big shoutout to B-Rabbit for being the only person in the field to pick "blocked field goal" as a square this year. Nice grab!

Other than Dalton Schultz and team interceptions, the Texans are on pace to fall woefully short of every offensive square. Schultz was 9-98 last night and is now on pace for 85 catches for 690 yards.

Even if was, a good coach doesn't throw his player under the bus.

Fairbairn should have told reporters Demeco was instructed to be able to field an NFL offense and he didn't do that.

It makes me believe this isn't the first time Fairbairn didn't follow instructions or he didn't get relayed the instructions.

I listened to his answer on that question, I wouldn't say that he threw him under the bus, it was a much more subtle response…he said something the affect of, the plan was to kick it out of bounds.
Waking up this morning and I still can't believe the utter ineptitude of offense that was last night.
It's one thing have a bad week and get beat by a team because you played like crap.
But to come off of a BYE and call those plays and run those personnel packages out there was incredibly mind blowing. The offense never stood a chance with that crap being the plan.
Time to tank for [insert whoever like it makes a damn difference] and clean house...AGAIN.

next year's OC?

I admittedly haven't followed Miami closely but it seems the league has caught on to what he was doing.
Having said that, I have no idea what we should do. The offense needs so much work at virtually every level. Below average line and RB room. Receivers are OK but nothing special. Thought we had a special QB but he's regressing by the week. No indication that any of the coaches on that side of the ball know what to do about any of it. But I'm sure Nick will look down his bony nose at us and tell us he's not worried at his next press conference.
When are the Texans going to give the public / press a straight answer on the Mixon situation? Because all the rumors are miserable sounding.

Where are you seeing the rumors? I legit haven't heard anything.
I still wonder what Jerrod can do as a OC/play caller.
I know one thing though...He better get his ass out of town and out from under Caley ASAP.

What does it matter? He's done playing here.
And I don't think they can because I think it ends up (or currently is) in some kind of legal arena disputing contract terms etc.

Yes, lets turn to ANOTHER play caller who has never called a play in his life.
May as well go with Caley, CJ, Demeco and let them sink this ship all the way. And clean the entire house in the offseason.
They should do what they should have done originally - hire an experienced OC who actually knows what he's doing.
The problem with this team is that it's the same stuff over and over.
Lack of situational awareness, unnecessary and untimely penalties, no consistent offensive threats, bad play calling. This season was lost in the offseason because they reshuffled the chairs on the deck and thought they'd get away with it in a bad division.
Turns out the division isn't bad and now you're in the basement.

I've got a buddy in the media. and ditto what the guy below me says, Mixon isn't going to play for the Texans again.
Too many red flags from Demeco to give him another OC out. He needs to wear this for another year and sink or swim.
Hire a real GM this offseason on the basis of an objective search and not what organization he came from. Let him start to fix the roster and evaluate all other parts of the organization.

There's a reason he's on the NFI. That is reserved for injuries or illness away from football.
Easiest answer is he did something he wasn't supposed to, hurt himself and won't return.

Tomlinson was so bad he was benched after 3 games at LG.
I guess Juice was worse in our two wins, because Tomlinson was back in for another atrocity on the O and the loss.

I have no clue why he was back in there after a bye week. If Scruggs looked that bad at practice the GM should have made a trade as there are more than a few LGs available that are better than both.
so the rest of the schedule is.
vs. San Fran
vs. Denver
vs. Jax
@ Ten
vs. Buffalo
@ Indy
@ KC
vs. Arizona
vs. Vegas
@ San Diego
vs. Indy
I see 4 wins in there?
6-11 finish?
that 16 day jaunt of Bills, Colts, Chiefs from November 20th-December 7th should be fun.

So you're telling me Nick Caserio, a former John Carroll QB, beat the bushes for answers for this offense & came up with: DJ Debick, Director of Pro Scouting, a JCU guy. Nick Caley, a former JCU student assistant, and Jerry Schuplinski, pass game coordinator, a former JCU guy.

Hopefully we can spend the next few days scheming up ways to get Hutch and Berrios more routes and targets, esp if Kirk and Nico are out.
I'd hate to feed our two super talented rookies that we spent big draft capital on.

That was sarcastic.
part of the problem with hiring a young first time coach...
he doesn't have the "rolodex" of coaching contacts and so forth for top assistants

Time to tank. Unless we play the Titans we won't be favored the rest of the year.
That have shown they can play.
Noel has been a stud at punt returning and even went up and made a play for the 50/50 ball when it was thrown his way last night.
As opposed to other teams who see potential in a rookie and slowly work them into the gameplan more and more as long as they keep progressing.
High level ineptitude is what we're seeing.

He doesn't need a rolodex.
Caley is a Caserio crony and was a Caserio hire. Doesn't matter how big of a rolodex Demeco has when the GM is just hiring his former NE buds.
Tear it all the fck up

Defense, DeMeco's specialty, is not the problem. If the OC is the GM's guy, he is the one that needs to fall.

Didn't he come from San Fran? That would make some sense given the connection to Demeco.
A new GM is going to want HIS hire at HC.
He came from here.
He was on Kube's offensive staff when Demeco was playing.
That staff was actually stacked. Saleh, Shanahan, McDaniels, Klint Kubiak
