    Our offense will struggle like all the other times they've played against cover 2 schemes.

    It will be close and low scoring.

    Texans 13
    Bears 17

    I hope I'm wrong.

    It just seems that Carr is a bit gun shy throwing deep. And most of the time, our line doesn't provide enough protection to allow the plays to develop.

    5 false starts on our home turf. Jeeez!!!

    Three game win streak to finish 8-8
    The Texans beat the bad teams and the Bears suck.

    Texans 24
    Bears 10

    The Peek is unleashed and Hutch spends the afternoon on his butt.

    if they finish 8-8, i'd be pretty happy with that, all things considered.

    No, we'll win 2 of 3

    The Texans aren't drafting a running back in the 1st round period.


    The Texans are on a 5 year plan. The coaching staff isn't going anywhere, live with it.


    Texans - 17
    Bears - 10

    i think JPM is right...i have a hard time saying we should spend a 1st round pick on a RB the week after Davis has the week he had...and watching the defensive line unable to put any consistent pressure on the QB all season long. i think i'd be looking for another defense-heavy draft...with an OL sprinkled in.

    Texans should roll...If you have Carr vs. Hutchinson, Carr all day long...

    Texans: 28

    Bears: 17

    Benson wouldn't be a bad pick at all. If he is gone then Derrick Johnson should be next on the list.

    I think that we could pick up a decent RB in free agency. I heard that quite a few contracts expire after this season.

    I really think we needs to focus on the OL. Trade Pitts - I'm sick of the false starts. It always happens on 3rd down and we never seem to recover from it. I hope Wand will be a much improved player next year. The right side is ok.

    I'm not sold on McKinney - He takes too many back steps.

    Benson would be a horrible pick. We need a LB, LT, CB, or a pass rushing d-lineman in the first round before we need an RB. Davis has been great since regaining his health.

    By the way, every time Pitts screws up, I like to call him Clinton Portis. I'm still convinced that someone said "pick CP" and some idiot thought they meant Chester Pitts and not Clinton Portis. What a dumb, dumb pick.

    I don't agree with regards to the running game...If your talking depth, yes...

    Also, we need a big time tackle and center...McKinney is not the answer...

    I've said it before and I'll say it again....

    Ahmad Brooks in round one
    Haloti Ngata in round two

    safty James Butler with one of the picks in round three.

    Those three selections would make massive improvements to the Texans defense. Most importantly, defense up the middle.

    Texans are not a cold weather team. Bears D will shut down Carr's passing game. will be a close one..maybe

    Texans 14

    Bears 10 or 13.

    For what it's worth, The Sporting News Draft Central currently has the Texans drafting Alex Barron, Tackle, Florida State in round 1, their top-rated tackle. Wouldn't be a bad idea, IMHO.
