    Don't want to derail the conversation too much, because I agree this is the important game with respect to the division and hosting a Wild Card game, but the notion that we mortgaged the future is maybe a tad too harsh. Let's assume, without the Tunsil trade, the Texans plug along and finish between 7 and 9 wins. To trade up in the draft next year, you'd probably have to trade both your 2020 and 2021 firsts (possibly more) just like you did when you traded up for Watson and you'd be starting a rookie at LT. They got Tunsil, they had him this year, yes, they should have negotiated an extension, but they'll have (presumably) a vet at LT through Watson's next contract. Watson is the future. We have to surround him with protection otherwise he's liable to end up the next Luck.

    The Baltimore game was putrid, but going into that, everyone was in on the OL of Tunsil-Scharping-Martin-Fulton-Howard. They just need to turn the proverbial page, show out on Thursday night (primetime Watson!). And hope they can get healthy to make a run a 10-11 wins and build some momentum once we get past the Patriots game on SNF. The last 4 games are Broncos, @Titans, @Bucs, Titans. Getting to 7-4 gives us a real chance at 10-11 wins and then you just hope the team is better prepared for what comes next.

    Go Texans!!

    Did we work out any kickers at all this week? How many shanks are they going to allow Fairbairn? This is stupid.

    I don’t see BOB out coaching Reich in any sense of this game. I hope I’m proven wrong.

    This is when we need Watson and our defense to bounce back like a Superball. Injuries or not, we can't give Brissett a 5-0 record against the Texans!! We are better than this.

    Maybe Watson thought the football was a Popeye's Chicken Sandwich which is why he held onto it forever and never got rid of it? Did the Ravens lather the ball in the sweat, savory, juices of a Popeye's Chicken Sandwich? Someone alert Jomboy, we need to find out!

    Yes, came here to say yes TY will play and he will torch the Texans as he always does. He will come out of hiding after doing **** all year and rip our hearts out. That is all. History always repeats itself.
