    Found myself not wanting to return to the TV after the half. Hopefully we just gave the Texans a bunch of false-hope.

    One of the few positives I can take from today is that CJ saw less work in the second half. CJ's role needs to be dialed back and used as a role player. I'm hoping the second half was the beginning of it.

    All things considered I'm going to say that the coaching/play calling is holding us back the most. I'm including personnel usage in there as well.

    CJ is being run straight up the middle way too often...if he is going to run there make it a draw at least. Ringer was in during the flea flicker and CJ had previously just ran up the middle for no gain or 1 yard. WTF?? Why is Ringer in on the flicker? Switch the RB personnel on the two plays and you probably get at least 2 - 3 yards up the middle and more attention drawn to the fake run with CJ.

    Was happy to see that Hass got fired up and began yelling over to the sidelines in the 2nd. It's really too easy to call, but this should be a turning point for our team.

    It's also a good opportunity to gauge Munchak, how directs this team after two tough losses..we need a good response and to get on a roll. IMO a Fisher team (our current team with Fish) wins at least one of these past two games if not both.

    Use all of our personnel properly!!

    Get a 'Locker Package'.

    What is most holding this team back?

    1. No wide recievers to take Kenny Britts place.
    2. No running back that can overcome the bad offensive line.
    3. CJ has lost his speed and elusiveness also goes with #2.
    4. Bad penalties at bad times < lack of discipline
    5. Defense is playing bad, and can't stop anybody.

    Those are my top 5.

    viable receiving options for Hasselbeck....

    He's constantly yelling at Damian Williams and Lavelle Hawkins after plays for messing something up. Hasselbeck shouldn't have to baby sit those guys, its a freaking joke that they can't run a simple route correctly or catch a pass right between their numbers.

    Big freaking joke.

    We might as well put Locker as RB for the year. This offense would be a lot better if we got average play from CJ. CJ is really holding us back this year.

    Ringer looks like a Pro Bowler out there after he spells CJ.

    We had a great running game and no QB the past few years, and now we have a good QB, we have no running game. The football Gods don't want us to be happy.

    1.Defensive scheme is just plain retarded. We don't have the talent to play the bend don't break!!!
    2.Running game is garbage. CJ isn't playing the way he needs to be and the o-line isn't helping.
    3. Wr's. Can't get seperation, can't catch balls.
    4. Stupid penalties.

    Playcalling, CJ sucks, OL too, Hass can't throw it deep, WR's are terrible, and not consistent on defense.
