[OFFICIAL] Week 7 Texans @ Packers

I completely agree and expect the Packers to win by a lot more than 2.5 points. The injuries put the Texans past the breaking point. IMO, only way they win is running the ball exceptionally well, getting a couple more TOs and the pass rush dominates the game.

 

Yeah it seems like with that many starters out the only way to a win is if we dominate the time of possession. Limit the defenses liability.

If we can run it effectively and CJ can play a clean game, we have a chance. But even still, we could play flawlessly on offense but get outscored given the circumstance.

I expect the game to be high scoring but the Packers to win by 2 touchdowns or so. Game not as close as the score, even.

 

The Packers have players on injured reserved and practicing doesn't mean they are for sure playing. Many are limited in practice. Spofford is talking about the stretch before practice. They don't practice in the Huston Center, they practice outside.

 

Let's cancel all games when the Texans have injuries. Only team in the league that has injuries.

 

Neville Hewitt played a good game last week. DeMeco and Burke will probably run 5-6 DBs most of the game anyway. Fotukasi may be a bigger loss in terms of containing the run, but Im hoping Autry is able to plug that and then some.

Their defense will have their hands full too. It should be a high scoring affair I agree, but I still like our chances. CJ has more game winning drives and the same amount of 4th quarter comebacks as Love -- in 10 less games. Punish them with Joe and DP, catch them napping with Dalton and then let Tank and Diggs do their thing. That defense can get got.

 

I agree with your points, but disagree with your outcome.

 

I'd appreciate an answer to the question.

In terms of actual contributors, the Texans are missing:

WR1 (happens to be the best WR in the league atm)
LB1 (arguably our defensive MVP this year)
LB2 (having a breakout year)
DT2
FS1
CB2
KR1

That's 7 starters. I wouldn't pick nearly any team to win a game, let alone a road game against a good team, with that much damage.

If you can make a legitimate case the Packers have that much baggage coming into Sunday, in full seriousness, I'd be interested to hear it.

 

Wisconsin makes ~26% of the cheese in the U.S.

 

Final injury report comes out at 3 o'clock.

 

Smh. Don't watch the game. Texans can't win. I have NEVER seen a fan base whine so much about injuries. Hedge your bet. Packers win, it's because of injuries, if the Texans win, god we are great, we beat the Packers with injuries. Either way you good Skippy.

 

Your unwillingness to answer the question is pretty telling.

 

Let's play no games in the NFL. Just decide the winner by the injury report.

It's not fair if the Texans have injuries. Again, only team in league with injuries.

 

You could just concede the point that the Packers are favorites and it's likely influenced by injuries. You don't have to be a child about it.

 

Exactly nobody here is saying this.

 

I take it you couldn't address his point.

 

I'll never understand grown ass men acting like such piss babies on the internet.

What kind of a complete loser do you have to be to go looking for internet fights every week on behalf of a private business that doesn't give two ***** about you? To have your entire sense of self worth wrapped up in stolen valor of a sports franchise?

It's as bizarre as it is pathetic.

 

Packers are favored because they are at home.

Only whiny little Texans fans think it should be a high spread because they have injuries.

A final time: Every team in the NFL have injuries

The end.

 

You guys have been entirely too civil with a troll who's just here to sh!tpost.

 

Yeah they all said they are picking the Packers because of injuries. Show me that.

Oh, I see the little gang here saw a lot of people picking the Packers and looking for excuses.

Sad
