    Do you know anything about his authenticity or lack thereof or are you just guessing?

    It was worse during the superbowl. Denver defense is beast.

    Bruh!

    Are you telling me that even after watching tonight's game that you think the Broncos game will be a layup for the Texans?

    Most of us do. We just have different things we can (or want to) tolerate. A certain 49er backup QB had his jersey sales double while some were burning their jerseys. And it had nothing to do how said player performed on the field.

    Should be, the Texans have a better offense than the Panthers and a comparable defense. The fact that Denver showed they don't have a QB should make people more confident actually.

    They do. Carolina is fairly weak offensively, their WR corps is tragic, Jonathan Stewart is alright but not going to set anyone's hair on fire. I mean, they are a REALLY good defense but I was talking about offense.

    Dual threat QB? MVP? Top 5 Tight End? Top 10 RB? WR1 with 6/91/1 tongiht? Oh yeah, they are pathetic. LOL

    Dual threat "MVP" QB that completed like 54% of his passes for less than 200 yards tonight....

    Top 10 RB who rushed for 64 yards tonight......

    Put all of that together and you get a grand total of 3 second half points. Clearly they are one really amazing offense.

    Can you imagine how much of a meltdown would be happening right now if the Texans offense plays that poorly on Sunday?

    Did you actually watch Siemian play tonight? The guy was solid, considering the fact that it was his first career start ever, against a Super Bowl caliber team. And please dont point towards 2 INTs...one was a legit one while the other was a bad luck one.

    Also, doesnt matter what we have at the skill positions, if our OLine cant contain the Denver front 7, it doesnt matter if we have Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and Steve Largent lined up alongside Hopkins.

    By no means are we supposed to win that game in Denver. We'll probably be 5+ point underdogs.

    You realize the Panthers led the NFL in scoring last year, right? And they did that without their WR1.

    The fact that they didnt do much in the second half is more of a testament to how great the Broncos defense is...

    On J.J.Watt fatigue we have b****ed for years about the Texans getting no national attention and now we have one of the most popular players in any sport and we complain. I think its cool and I'm glad he plays for Houston that guy busts his ass every play and never makes excuses. He probably should have missed 3-4 games last year and he still found a way to make plays.

    Jason La Canfora

    Just came on 610 when asked why he had the Texans as the last team in the division.

    "I don't really have a feel for the division. Don't I have them first".

    For someone who gets paid for his analysis, you just can't take these things serious sometimes.

    Tennesse has been the hot pick lately, which I still don't understand. You can't win without a defense.

    Had he not broke his hand last year, he probably would have broke the sack record.

    I think last year had potential to be the GOAT defensive year.

    Shoot, the year before last may have been the best individual defensive/offensive season of all time.

    He is still only 27, so he has another 3-4 years of expected elite contribution before he slows down a bit.

    I am a little bored this morning.

    I was just thinking about Tom Savage and Brandon Weeden.

    Is there a possibility that the Texans were in trade talks with other teams about Tom Savage? Is that why they kept three?

    Tom does not stare down the rush, he has a strong arm and steps in to throws before impact. He has potential and some team is going to take a flyer on him.

    bored.......

    I'm also bored. Looking at the site-maps for the game broadcast this week, it seems the DFW market continues to troll anything Texan-related.

    They rarely will put them on... even if it really is the most logical matchup. Instead of Bears-Texans, they're the only Texas market that is deciding to go with Packers-Jacksonville.

    I would understand if they wanted to go with another NFC East team over the Texans... but no. At least Austin and San Antonio haven't fallen into the DFW practice-patterns.

    That would make me so mad if I was living up in Dallas like my sister. We both went to school outside Texas and never saw the games, now coming back, I am in Houston and can see all the games, she is in Dallas and still can't watch another Texas team. She was disappointed.
