Well, good news and bad- Foster is being held out of this game, so we’ll be facing Alfred Blue (who isn’t terrible)…but it looks like Taylor just got placed on IR. Ain’t that a bitch?
This is a really dangerous one. I’m really worried that we’re going to come out “cocky” and not with a chip on our shoulder.
If we let them rough us up on the ground, it will go a long, long way towards letting Mallet get comfortable, and with his arm and their receivers, that’s dangerous.
There’s no reason for us to be cocky. The Texans are a QB away from the Superbowl. If Mallett turns out to be up to the job then then NFL is in trouble. Taylor will be heavily missed in this game as they will try to focus on the ground game against us.
Feels like Jacksonville to me with the exception: We already blew a game we were expected to win. We win this game and I think we are on our way to vying for a playoff spot for the rest of the season.
We lose and we’ll be good enough to get a crappy draft pick and no playoff game.
With that said, I think we win. If we didn’t have so many key injuries, I would say we win it impressively. On Sunday? It will be tough.
@durakbane It doesn’t feel like the Jags to me. I’m optimistic we’ll win but we’ve got so many injuries that seem to match up perfectly to their strengths as a team that I’m worried.
I really believe in Pettine. I think he has the guys ready to go for this game, especially after the Jags game a few weeks back. Losing Uncle Phil hurts…a lot…but Gipson is in and Foster is out. Considering the weather, it sounds like it could be a run heavy day anyway, and even with Watt, the texans are still in the bottom third of the league on run defense. Im looking for the win!
