Kubiak's team is free-falling and he doesn't know where the cord is to pull the chute. Logic tells us a soft landing isn't likely.

That is Kubiak's challenge, but I'm not seeing the signs that a turnaround is about to unfold in Houston.

At that point, the halfway mark of the schedule, it may already be too late for the Texans. In Houston, after just six games, the Texans' Super Bowl Express has already turned into a season on the brink.
