Atlanta is about as inconsistent as we are. They've accomplished nothing and they've had a good QB for a while now. I'm not afraid of them, even on their turf. So I don't see a blowout, but it's going to be hard to go in there and get a win.
Didn't know where else to put this: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">There's been speculation that Martellus Bennett could be had.

What's wrong with the TEs on the team? Are they not getting open? Not blocking? Dropping passes? QB/coach doesn't trust them?
We will win now since we just got a new kicker. He'll put this weak-ass offense into a higher gear and lead us to victory. Texans - 21 (7 FG's) Falcons - 0
I think we could be less likely to win due to the change at kicker. I don't trust our special teams coverage enough to think that going with a guy that doesn't have the leg strength to kick it in the end zone is a good thing.
Ok... Kareem Jackson can cover... we let Ted Ginn Jr kill us what you think Julio Jones gon do. Picking him on my fantasy team this week for sure.
I'm not a fan of Matty Ice, I think he's the ultimate form of a game manager. But as of this moment Julio Jones is the best WR in the league, and is just straight dominating teams. Atlanta's defense is very suspect, especially against the run. If we get the same kind of production from our running backs(which with Foster coming back potentially I think we will) we will have a shot. We gotta stop Julio though, something no one has done this season yet. I think this game could potentially be high scoring and closer than outside observers think. I still think the Falcons will squeak by due to playing at home but I do like our chances
Unless your other receivers are AJ Green, Antonio Brown, and Megatron, when are you NOT starting Julio Jones?
Arian returns for a 154 rushing yards, 7 receptions for 68 yards and 3 total TD type of day. Texans win 31 - 17
Interesting...but what is his contract like??? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/fire-sale-starting--chicago-bears-trade-jared-allen-to-the-carolina-panthers-204656381.html
