We need to get out of this, if HE is calling other teams, you don't give 2 of your young core players and 3 1sts for someone calling teams himself


Could be a BS report or maybe he figures ATL is the least worst option between us and the saints. 
 

He’ll end up settling for someone. Us or the saints.

Dont believe the hype dude.  See my post just up in this page.  On WFNZ they just explained why Atlanta has pretty much no chance.  Houston will just hold on to Watson and sit him again next year if he tries to force his way to Atlanta for pennies on the dollar.

They keep saying that a decision is likely to come tomorrow - at least thats the prevailing theory now.  And the Houston media and the Charlotte media all believe that Carolina is the leader right now. 

yet national media thinks Saints... none of this adds up.

Houston wants it to be us because we probably offered the most. Houston could block the trade too, a fact a lot of people are forgetting.

power isn’t 100% in watsons favor. It’s more like 75% Texans 25% Watson.

he can’t force them to trade him

If Watson wanted to be a panther he would be one by now, it’s quite clear he doesn’t want to. We have pursued him more than any other team in the league and he still says no.

 

Tepper has to give it up and draft a QB

This is just flat out wrong. Not saying it’s us, but Houston has to agree to any trade. Watson just has veto power.  Of course Houston strong arms him into meeting as many suitors as possible regardless of feasibility. It only benefits them

Exactly.  Apparently Houston is more than willing to just let Watson sit on the bench for another year and eat his salary.  They're not going to take pennies on the dollar just because he wants to go somewhere like Atlanta.  So, that no trade clause aint all its cracked up to be.  He could say "I will not accept a trade anywhere but Atlanta" and Houston could say "Have fun playing Safety on the Practice Squad for the next 4 years".

      Did we really shut them down though? They had 369 yards of offense.   That is 9 more yards than they average per game and 53 more than we give up per game this year.   If a team gave up 369 yards per game on defense, they'd be the 7th worst defense in the league this year. Yes, I will give our defense credit for having the 4th down stand near our goal line as well as creating the fumble that stopped their first drive, as they did rise to the occasion then, but even the INT was just a ridiculous play/throw and handed it to us and they also missed a FG. We didn't force them into a single punt all game.  We had 1 sack on a QB who had 37 pass attempts. They had drives of 56, 49, 50, 43, 58, and 71 yards (while we only had 2 over 40 yards ourselves). We bent, a lot, but never really broke, partially due to the Packers own mistakes, that's a far cry from "shutting them down" in my opinion.  Again, this is why I'm critical of us after a day like today, I'm able to look beyond a final score and evaluate how we played on the whole, and we keep squeaking out these wins despite not playing well at all.  And yes, that is what great teams do, but they also play well in the majority of their games, where as all we seem to do is squeak out ugly wins without ever playing all that well. I'm not saying I'm unhappy that we won, I've never once said anything like that, but when week after week I see serious concerns with how we played, then I'm going to call out what I see.
