they can shutdown out run and we have no pass....

they also have have enough athletes upfront where Cam won't be able to get by hanging in the pocket too long...shrugging off people (which often is a big part of his game). 

So neither team has an offense.   Push. 

So IMO it comes down to D....and we won't have Luke.   So on a neutral field I'd give the Texans the slight edge this week 

I think you way under estimate this offense and over estimate their defense.  We controlled the game from  whistle to whistle both offensively and defensively.  Truth is that except for shooting ourselves in the foot it should have been a bigger blow-out than it was. Houston showed very little from Hoyer and when Mallett is named starter this week we will welcome into the starting role with a bunch of sacks and a pick or two. he made the game look closer with 2 garbage time TDs or it was a blow out.

Our offense and defense are both better than Houston and that is without Luke and Benjamin.  This way it might be closer but I don't think they can hand with us on the road.  We play pretty well at BOA.

ok....but the Texans matchup well against our sad offense too.   Only difference is they will have their DPOY caliber stud. 

 

No they dont.  They have Watt and a few others but surely not as good as our defense.  And Mallett has started exactly 8 games and this is year five.  We are better on offense and defense.  Why the chicken little routine.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
