Steaming Todd Bowles opens dangerous scapegoat door

HOUSTON — Todd Bowles has a crisis on his rookie hands, and he knows it.

You know he knows it when he opens the door, ever so slightly, to a change at quarterback, and there is smoke coming out of his ears when he opens it.

There is no better way to wake up a floundering football team, a 24-17 loser to the Texans, than publicly declaring the most important position on the team is up for discussion, starting Monday.

Bowles knows he better do something, and fast because his team has lost its way, but giving Ryan Fitzpatrick the hook and summoning Geno Smith would be a panic move, a rookie mistake.
