    History

    One game doesn't guarantee anything, just saying a close win looks like history repeating. The division has supposedly improved, but supposedly we have too.

    the things is the front seven is so disruptive, and the nutty professor's disguise of disguised formations makes it tough for even quarterback gods to make decisions. aaron rodgers before charles james came in due to injury, Baby Carr in Mexico(d hop non td and "fumble" that was given to Oak) Tom brady throwing tantrums at his O-line in the play off game.
    All that gives way for close games, especially when the Texans run the ball as much. There is no QB god in this division.

    I can't comprehend how some 'experts' have the Titans winning 12 games.

    Theoretically, I don't know how you gash this defense on the ground.

    Up the middle? Reader, Cushing and McKinney. Good luck.

    Edges? Mercilus, Clowney and Watt. Good luck.

    The only good news is if the oline happened to catch the blocks and fournette stumbled his way through the secondary is soft as wet paper.

    So Duane Brown is out for "at least week one" but I also read he will "definitely play in 2017.

    Does anyone have any more specific info on his situation.

    PS only potential bright side is this could help get Watson the starting QB job faster (if that's what you're into).

    No one does really. It's all up to Duane Brown. He could show up at any moment and instantly be one of the highest paid O linemen in the game....even after taking the nearly 700k hit because he didn't want to show up to work when he should have.

    I think no matter what he'll show up by week 9 because if he doesn't then he won't get credit for this season meaning he'd go into next year still under contract with the Texans for 2 more seasons....and he REALLY doesn't want that. Will he cost himself nearly 3.8 million dollars by waiting till week 9? I would think it would be remarkably stupid if he did, but then again I would think costing himself 700k would be remarkably stupid so who knows?

    I think it's irony Jacksonville wanted to switch home games with us, and now they are bout to get wrecked by hurricane as well....

    I think the real hurricane today will be JJ, JD, and Mr unmerciful lighting up everything in the jags backfield.

    A sleeper pick in fantasy today is Tom Savage at qb

    This is a contradictorily funny statement coming from you since Savage isnt even a starter in the NFL in your eyes, yet hes a sleeper in fantasy to put up some decent numbers. Lulz. I guess Savage turned black over night in your eyes too.

    Which outcome is more likely?

    a) Texans win by 12+
    b) Texans lose

    No i still believe Savage will ultimately fail. He's a sleeper pick in my mind because he may have the game of his life week 1 than totally wet the bed week 2 or 3. He's due to have a big game then be king of the city just for one week. Jaguars are the perfect storm.

    That jaguars defense is loaded with talent.

    I think savage will have a decent game, 230 yards and a td.

    First team to 7 wins? I have no idea what to expect from this offense.

    Also, haven't followed the Duane Brown story, or I guess lack of. Didn't realize he was such a b****. Show up to work dude.

    Texans win but close game. Bortles gives us the game.
