I'll be in town from SA on Saturday attending the Redskins Rally at Lucky's across the street from Minute Maid with majority of my buddies being Redskins fans, and two of them being Texans fans and of course I being a Redskins fan also.We have seats in the lower level by the Redskins tunnel, and I haven't been to NRG Stadium since Wrestlemania 25, so I've never watched a football game in the stadium before. Should be a great game. I think the RG3 struggles are overrated, I thought he looked fine outside of sliding the first two pre season games but I wouldn't be shocked if he struggles with Watt chasing him all night long. Redskins main weakness is the right side of the offensive line, which Chester and Polumbus both are garbage, and will hopefully be replaced next season by two promising rookies Spencer Long, and Morgan Moses. The defense looked great in preseason, and no one is talking about how great Ryan Kerrigan, and hopefully he plays Brian Orakpo and new signee from the Cowboys Jason Hatcher looked in the preseason. Ryan Clark from the Steelers is going to make a lot of difference also we were so weak in the safety position last year. I predict.... Redskins-24 Texans-14 HTTR!
Texans still have some questions with the right side of their line as well. The secondary also has some questions, but I think the added pressure from Clowney and a resurgent Jerrell Powe should help it out. The only way Redskins beat Texans at NRG this Sunday is if RGIII has a nice game. Even then, the score will be closer than the one you posted. Do not discount Texans ability to score points based solely on Fitzpatrick - the D also has regained it's ability to score and our ST also now has a heartbeat. For that reason, I predict Texans 24, Redskins 17.
If the Redskins score that much, then I agree with you they'll probably win. But look at your bolded line, and then imagine them going up against Clowney and Watt. I think both teams are going to struggle on offense, particularly in the passing game. It's just a question of which team will be able to stay physical at the line and impose its will via the running game. Gonna be a great, close game I feel. In the end Foster behind Brown, Sua Filo, Myers, and Brooks + Home Field might take the edge over Morris behind the Washington O-line, but I don't see how anyone can be certain one way or the other.

Really important to get our run game going. I have zero confidence in Fitzpatrick's ability to not screw things up. Need to keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible.

Predicting Texans find a way to lose the game early, and it snowballs from there. I'd like to be proven wrong.
It's a form of deception, if you list the entire roster on the injury report, the other team doesn't know which are real injuries and which are bogus injuries so it's harder for them to gameplan.
