Looking forward to the game. I hope Tyrod heals up well and soon, he's a good guy who's had some bad luck. It was us he was scheduled to play last year when they had that accidental needle slip that could have killed him and set Herbert into the starting role (we did win that one).

I almost feel sorry for the Houston Texans fans, too. Man, that team has just been destroyed by bad coaching, bad management and bad luck. We play who the schedule makers set before us, though, so we'll just have to send condolences after that game.

So much bad juju in this thread. Are y’all trying to jinx us?

How many times have we watched a no-name QB go off on this team? This is not a gimme

You know. I won’t really feel happy being 3-0. Taylor is hurt so we aren’t beating them at their best. Just like today, it didn’t really feel like a win beating the Saints without their top guys. Honestly, I’d feel better if we petitioned the NFL to make today and Thursday ties.

 

 

fug that noise, 3-0 all the way. Who actually thinks like that? SMH.

I get the sentiment but Carolina can't help that, and they've looked good in winning these first 2 weeks just like quality teams should in games they should win. Agreed though that a true litmus test is still outstanding.

Happens to winning/playoff teams literally every year and no one talks about taht nor cares about it. 3-0 is 3-0 regardless so that faux tough guy poo just really exposes wannabes.

if they did the league would commish exempt him, that would be way too big of a bad story for the league to let him play through the allegations.

The NFL has not sanctioned Watson. They've basically ignored what's going on. The Texans all on their own have acted like he's not part of the team. Good for them.

History lesson kids.  Go research what happened in the 2003 season on our way to the Super Bowl when we faced the lowly Texans who were starting back-up Tony Banks that Sunday.

We had a dominant defense that year too.  poo can happen.

They haven’t done anything because the Texans haven’t played him. If they decided to start playin him the media would make a huge stink about it and the league would have no choice but to quiet it down by putting him on the exempt list.

If the Texans try to start him he immediately goes on the exempt list.  That is what Howey Long said today on the broadcast of the game.

If true (I don't believe it is), that's exactly what the Texans should do in order to free up the roster spot...

The Texans have certainly played much better than I thought they would so far.
