    That all sounds great, and I like it, but we've been terrible early in the year under O'Brien. I don't expect us to win.

    So many guys played so little in he preseason. I don't want to get my hopes up.

    I think it will come down to the wire like last season. I’m curious to see how many deep passes JJo and Kevin Johnson give up.

    Man that was embarrassing.. there has to be way better options there. Why are they so invested in this failed 4th round pick? Please prove me wrong..

    Bill O'Brien has to prove his worth. Right now, I am not confident in his coaching decisions. Especially when it matters the most.

    If the offense can muster up 24-30 points and if our defense stays hesitant throughout this game. We can pull off the victory.

    I think our offense will put up points but that the Pats are gonna rely on quick passes since they don’t have a real deep threat which will help negate our pass rush and test our weak secondary. I expect a
    close higher scoring game.

    I'm not sure the secondary is as weak as you might think, especially if there is no deep threat.

    Gonna shock the league with a blowout victory.

    But Texans won't be the talk of the week. It's gonna be about the Patriots run being over.

    Bill O’Brien decision to kick a field goal last season instead of keeping it in Deshaun’s hands would’ve been good had the secondary held up. Better safeties this year gives me confidence Texans can get a win.

    Still think it’ll be Watson that wins it for us though.

    He wishes. Jacoby messed up in the playoffs but atleast he was a threat to break one. This guy here gets to the 20 and just falls down.

    It's not just better safeties though, the Texans have added a VERY good slot corner, the entire secondary should be considerably better than last season even when you don't factor in potentially having a pass rush this season to make their job easier. BOB is the only thing IMO that can hold the Texans back.

    Let's just be happy that now that Duane Brown is gone the Texans don't have any players as selfish as Le'Veon Bell on the team.

    Tyler Ervin is hot garage. I hold my breath every time he's back there returning.

    I honestly just think they are keeping him until Coutee can get healthy and get back there and return.

    are they a playoff team without bell? I think they finish 8/8 without bell. I hope he sits out the whole year. =) leaves a playoff spot to another team.
