If our D plays up to it's potential, I could see a close game that could go either way. But I really wouldn't lose sweat over an L this week, because I don't see a game we couldn't win after that.



Oh, and get ready, no matter who covers him, DeAndre Hopkins is going to make some nice catches, no need to roast anybody for that, he's uncoverable. I would double him all game, we can afford that with Fuller out.



My Kool Aid/Manusky has a plan for Hopkins prediction: Skins 17 Texans 14



But I really wouldn't lose my mind over a loss.

@ Dallas? @ Philly? @Jax? @ Tennessee? Home games vs two division rivals in philly n the gints? I don’t see a game we couldn’t lose after that either. That is not an easy stretch at all.

Houston on a roll...but check out who they have played and beat last 5:

Dallas 19-16 in OT
Buffalo 20-13
At Jacksonville 20-7
Miami 42-23
At Denver 19-17

Pretty easy schedule.

Their Oline is weak, Watson will throw some picks. Their run game is limited, but they have some good WRs.

Their rush defense is good. Avg pass defense

Should be a close game...Skins 23-Houston 19

Should be able rush Watson...need a big day from the pass rush and limit time to throw to these receivers.

It's a pretty even matchup, i'm actually excited for this game. I won't be mad if we lose, only if we get beat like the ATL and NO games. I just dont see that happening, Houston cant score like that.

Way is having an all-pro season in my opinion

People talk about turnovers and the defense as to why we're winning, it's also special teams. Hopkins is 17/19 on the year on FGs and hasn't missed a PAT, and Way is pinning teams deep and hasn't even had a touchback yet.

Mentioned special teams several times, they are executing and definitely not putting us in tough spots as has been the case for as long as i can remember. A huge reason we are 6-3.

Exactly how I feel...honestly would like to see if they COULD actually win a close game down the stretch. You have to think Houston will plan to throw a lot looking at the tape of our D in our losses...so I'm anxious to see if Manusky sticks with the bend don't break D of last week.

I do think that would be a good plan, especially if Dunbar is out, but Watson won't give us turnovers like Fitz did, and Hopkins is a real redzone threat... This game is gonna be a tough one, and we may have to take more chances, ie bringing more pressure.

The next 3 weeks are going to be huge for the season. We need to win at least 2 of the 3 and preferably against Dallas and Philly, with Philly definitely needing to be one of those wins.

If we can go 3-0 over that time we'll be sitting very pretty going down the stretch.

It's starts with the Texans this week but I really see the Philly game as the one that could decide the season.

Speaking of Hopkins though...

Why'd you jinx us with Hopkins Matty?

I like it!

Houston has won 6 in a row.

All that tells me is they're due for a loss
