Homecoming / Houston Thread

[htownskinfan]

If we were healthy I think this would be a tough game,as it is seems like a win for the Texans to me.I just dont see how this line is going to protect Smith from Watt and Clowney.On top of that,Texans have added a legit #2 receiver in Thomas{who has now had 2 weeks of practice to prepare for us}and if Coutee suits up and plays he's been pretty good out of the slot.
One saving grace is I think O'Brien is a shittier coach than Gruden,but O'Brien has smartened up that past few weeks and has Watson dropping back less and the Texans have found their running game.
Hopefully the week off has taken Houston out of their groove,but on the flip side it's allowed some of their players{like Coutee}to get healthy and Thomas to get acclimated.Not going to predict a score,but I will be very pleasantly surprised if we win this one.

Vegas has the Skins as a 3 point underdog, time to earn some respect. HTTR

It will be tough no doubt, but the texans struggle against teams that can stop the run and make u pass.

Titans
Dallas
Jags.

In fact they have only scored over 20 points in 3 games so their O isn't a high powered machine. Contain Watson's mobility and shadow Dhop. We are lucky Fuller is out.

Skins win this one at homecoming with a crazy crowd

23-20

Yeah but Deshaun has 2 ACL's in his young career. Big difference. He hasn't ran as much this yr either, I do love the kid as a QB though. He's a franchise guy for the next 10 years if he stays healthy. Yes I know we have not scored much either so I'm thinking it's another UGLY game

Well he was having to run for his life earlier this season,their off line was playing bad,but like I said earlier they have found a balance and their line is playing better.The thing that scares me about Watson is if we are able to get pressure on him he is very capable of escaping it even with the 2 knee injuries.He's also capable of throwing 5 td passes in any given game,the Skins do not have that capability.

For sure.

If we get down by 7 for god sakes we never come back so its highly important to start out fast. If they drive the ball on us and get 7 early it could be a long day.

Cooley said during the TB game there have been zero lead changes in any game played by the Skins this year. 9 games zero lead changes, that is almost impossible to believe.
