Noon Sunday on CBS. Announcers: Greg Gumbel/Dan Dierdorf. Please keep discussions related to the game.
Don't have a great feeling about this one, but I expect a few batted balls from Watt and Mario. Brees may be good, but he's still short.
Anyone else going to this one? Not sure I expect a win, I just want it to be more competitive than last preseason. Saints fans are fairly insufferable winners...
Biggest game in franchise history right here, win this and your 3-0, lead the division and made a statement that you can beat good teams on the road. That being said Saints 27 Texans 24.
38-35, not sure who wins, but even with our improved defense, N.O. shreds us and it turns into a shootout.
I agree, but why is this? I swear, Saints fans annoy the p*ss out of me. If they're not whining about how much they "deserve" to be winning, they're gloating about when they do win. Sorry, but no one has suffered as much as a Houston football fan. No. One. You got your Superbowl, so the "woe is me" ship has officially sailed. For people who claim to have suffered so much agony, they sure don't exude the grace that typically comes with it.
Finally a game that will force Schaub to pass it some...lol.... Texans over the Saints at home 31-27. DD
Playing with house money on this one. I don't think anybody had the Texans winning this game before the season started, even the ones predicting 12-4.
Texans 27 Saints 34 Tough game on the road...as long as we play competitively, no reason for anyone to be upset or lose faith in where this team is going.
For the Texans to have a chance at winning this game, we'll have to put some points on the board. It's going to be very tough for the Texans to shut this team down defensively.
We're not going to win a shoot out. Texans have to keep the Saints under 20 because I think the Saints are a better quickstrike offense if this gets into a back and forth uptempo game. Saints have scored 30 and 34 in each of their 2 games, Texans D have allowed a total 20 points in their 2 games. Something's gotta give Sunday.
This will be a big test. Hopefully they show up well and if they don't get the win, at least put up a good showing.
