    I'm not expecting much from him this week, maybe he surprises me.

    I'm a fan of a passing game too. I don't know why we don't look as good as last year with the starters on our offensive line all playing. It's weird. I can't believe Tank only has 197 yards receiving going into week 8 of this year. He had over 250 yards last year after week 3 as a rookie with a rookie QB.

    If the o-line plays well we win. if not we lose. pretty simple.

    Beat the colts and hope the packers can beat the jags and that would help a lot

    He's been a big time disappointment, but I still think he'll show up at some point.

    I really hope that gunshot wound doesn't affect him his entire career. It went straight through. He might be lacking burst pushing off that leg.

    70 yards and 2 TDs, Dell has left on the field by not catching the ball. That would put him around 260. Plus, say he catches 40 yards in the game he missed. 300 ish yards. Those are Romeo Doubs numbers. I think his leg is in good shape.

    All in all vs Packers, Texans d held their top 5 offense 125 yards below their season average. On the road with multiple starters out. That would be like holding Colts to 200 total yards for the game. (The same patheticness Texans offense looked last week). The defense is reliable enough

    Its odd to say that Texans need better all around passing game production. Theyve found something in the run game. But entire passing unit, from coaching & o-line on up needs to step up.

    Then need to limit penalties. Not body slamming the ball carrier on his head 1 minute after the whistle. Cant rely on a +3 turnover advantage. Stop giving drives away. The concern is defenses have figured out how to stop the offense. So might need to win in spite of mediocre passing. Texans by 4

    Tank has already dropped 2 TDs…one of which would have given him about 50 more receiving yards.

    Youre worried about the jags for the division?

    I've watched every minute of every game. I know that. I hope last year wasn't just a lucky streak with Tank. The only one from last year who's played better this year so far is Nico. I know it's barely halfway through the season but I hope Slowik does a better job getting that pressure off CJ, coaching these kids, and coming up with better plays.

    Mixon is +220 to rush for 100 yds. That seems like a gift.

    I don’t wanna look ahead too much but I just got a flu vaccine to piss off Aaron Rodgers in anticipation of the Halloween matchup. You’re welcome.

    Sorry if it came off that way, but I wasn’t trying to be argumentative.

    I didn't take it as argumentative at all. It's the truth. Part of the reason he doesn't have as many yards is that he's dropped big passes.

    That's a really big loss, if we had him last week, we probably win.
