Here is the big concern with Vrabel going forward

[tgo]

Again - the issue now is Henry. 
 

The run game is inefficient because Henry is running with molasses in his boots and the OL also sucks.

So on Monday night Vrabel pulled a rabbit out of his hat but today he’a getting fired bc of an overtime loss to a far superior roster. Got it.

You've lost your damn mind. The Texans were relegated to their backup quarterback, and down their best two receivers, and their starting tackle. They were not the more talented team on the field today, and no, majority of us wanted Vrabel fired even after the Dolphins game which cost us four draft slots

[rns90]

The team the Texans put on the field was not a “superior roster”.  They even lost a DB, Ward, halfway throughout the game.  This is not the game to defend Vrabel.

 

news flash: running Henry obviously didn’t work when Henry and the roster were better.

 

If you can’t see that he lost this game via his coaching I don’t know what to tell you.  They were even up double digits in the first half.

 

Yeah, I have no idea what tgo was watching.

No - you all have lost your collctive minds. 
 

We’ll see what team leadership/ownership, who are infinitely smarter than any of you keyboard warrior blowhards on here, decide at year end though - because their votes are the only ones that count.

Did Tunsil play? Stingley? Schultz? Deiter? Mason? Greenard? Collins? Pitre? 
 

Did Hopkins drop 3 passes or was it Vrabel? Did Vrabel run with concrete in his shoes or was it Henry, who is about washed up?

Why was he repeatedly given the ball when he was obviously getting stuffed left and right?  17 runs vs 5 passes on 1st down.   And two of those "passes" were failed screens /targets to Henry.  Again, what coach repeatedly goes towards a losing strategy of running when it's obviously not working ?

I said this in another thread. The Vrabel philosophy works against the teams with more talent than he has. The issue is, he approaches every game as if his team is the least talented on the field that day. The philosophy plays right into the hands of a beat up Texans team coming on the road with their pre-season squad. What allows him to compete against more talented teams, keeps less talented teams than us in striking distance, like today.

The focus on Henry is 100% because of Mike Vrabel. OC after OC runs this guy into the ground regardless of what the defense is giving. Various people like Lewan talk about Vrabel getting involved in offensive meetings. 
 

He’s a fucking idiot and a micromanager on top of it. His refusal to adapt is going to be what gets him fired.

Because Meathead wants to shorten the game and keep it close instead of going for the kill shot. No excuse for not keeping the pedal down when they were up.

Yeah - I’m sure they’re gonna fire him any day now.

He’s an idiot? K - I’m sure they’ll be firing him tomorrow then. 
 

Or maybe after the season worst case scenario!

Of course.  It's the same MO/philosophy against all teams--good or bad--.  There's a reason he always loses/makes game closer against inferior qbs.

Good God, we have some of the dumbest fucking fans.  Anyone defending Vrabel for today’s game plan is a fucking retard.

My Vrabel Nightmare:

 

We are in the AFC Championship Game and have a 10-0 lead on the Chiefs early. Instead of piling on, Vrabel goes conservative and Mahomes leads them to a comeback. Wait, that happened? 
 

Vrabel is the problem and he’s never winning a SB unless he gets out of the way
