Time to focus on the Houston game

[jazzcat22]

Linehan will need to put together good game plan as we all know. Same for Marinelli.

Texans D not what it once was. Still will be tough though at their place. I think when they let Bouye go in FA it hurt them more than they thought, and now Colvin is out. But not sure if he was a big factor anyway. Maybe someone else knows more.
Clowney and Watt are still players to contend with.

The key lays within our D. Contain Watson, as we have big issues with mobile QB's. But our secondary must contain Fuller and Hopkins. With our S's anything over the middle will be very tough. But if they can cover them, Then they can contain Watson better, or should.

Dak will need to have protection to have success on O, but we all know that. Feed Zeke, get him going early. Ball control, and wear down their D. Keep the O off the field.

I have not looked at their rankings to see where they stand, but I will throw all that out the window. Just excuse the game plan, and avoid dumb mistakes and penalties.

I read something last night (please don't ask for a link...I can't remember where the article was) stating that Fuller was likely to be out for the game. If so, that's a big loss for them (and one less potential headache for our D).

We win 24-17.

Gallup also scores his first TD and the fanbase falls head over heels in love.

The injury report comes out later today, but only Wednesday practice though. So will be looking to see. Yes this would be a big loss for them, and our gain if Fuller is out.

I know Keke Coutee(rookie) had a breakout game last week, and based off his size, assume he plays the slot.
Not sure who would fill in for Fuller. They cut Miller, right?

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Clappy Clap Slappy can't have the troops sleepwalking and getting punked as they did in Seattle... this is "Big Brother" versus "little brother" and little brother wants to win, just as all little brothers do. It's Texans Super Bowl week and we need to be ready.

Match their intensity and we walk out with a 27-20 win

 

[ChronicCowboy]

The offense will need to score more than 20 to win. We’ve looked pathetic on offense in our road games. If the trend continues, we’ll lose by 10+.

23 PPG at home is...serviceable. 10.5 PPG on the road is just...ew.

 

[conner01]

To me the oline is key to this game
I think we can control their offense but we have to be able to stay in 3rd and short all day
Run the ball well and protect Dak

Can’t win many games like that

 

[CF74]

Desperate team at home, 2nd most annoying fans (Philthy still worse,) in the league, expect them to bring it. I would imagine the game starts out tight but eventually by the second or third quarter we pull away.

24-10 Dallas

In the immortal words of Han Solo: "I have a bad feeling about this."

 

[viman96]

Their Pass Defense is 27th so the LBs and DBs can be beat in the passing game. Their OL is suspect so our DL should be able to get home.

They have really good WRs which will test Dallas' DBs. If Bryron and Chido can prevent the big plays and the DL contains Watson, the Cowboys should have a good chance to win the game.

 

[Praxit]

.....If OL shows up like they did last game. We get the advantages. We win. ...biddy bop, biddie, bom.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Texans Defense rank 27th in passing yards allowed per game .

Dallas Cowboys rank 30th in passing yards made per game .

It would seem they are better at their pass defense, then we are at pass offense.

Yes before the season started.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Byron on Deandre Hopkins. God - I can't wait. It's gonna be a battle.

 

[Jimbo69]

The Houston Texans are 1-3. If we are anything other than a mediocre team, we should win.This probaly the last of our easier games, it gets tougher after this

 

[cowboy_ron]

Is Irving playing this week?

Is Irving playing this week?

He can, if the coaches let him.
