It's more like year one than year four
Richard Justice is about as critical of Texans GM Charley Casserly today as any Chronicle sportswriter to date:
They played about as well as they can play. Afterward, they had to know it.
Even as the Texans said the usual stuff about being disappointed and continuing to fight and improve, they surely know otherwise. Until they get better players, they won't play better than they did in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Jacksonville.
Maybe it's the coaches who'll get blown out after the season, but this defeat wasn't about coaching. It was about not having enough talent.
"They made plays at crunch time, and we didn't," Andre Johnson said.
The Jaguars made more plays because they have more players. No matter what you think of the Texans' coaching — and there obviously are problems — this franchise must address why it has made so many poor personnel decisions.
Some of the mistakes lay at the door of general manager Charley Casserly. Others were made by Casserly in conjunction with coaches.
The coaching has been poor this season, and that's on Dom Capers. However, the talent acquisition has just been abysmal, and the Texans seem no further along than when they started. That's mostly on Charley Casserly.
The team needs to blow up the front office and coaching staff and try again after the season.
