BayRaider Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 KC 27-20. With no pre season and limited off season, first game of the year is a bit sloppy. KC doesn’t cover the 10 point spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 9/2/2020 at 9:42 PM, ET80 said: The ONE thing the Texans D can do is stop the run. Zach Cunningham was graded as the best run stopper in football, per PFF... Berdnardrick McKinney was further down but still Top 15. Tyreek Hill might get 300 on this secondary, Travis Kelce might score about six TDs on four drives (trust me, it's possible against our secondary) Mecole Hardemen and Sammy Watkins could both rack up catches and scores, Mahomes is guarenteed to get well over 300 and 5+ TDs - I won't argue that. A rookie RB running wild on this defense? I highly doubt it. I'll cover this bet - CEH goes for under 75 rushing. He might go 150 total yards from scrimmage, but the bulk of that will be in the passing game. Texans can stop the run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 *sigh* Ok - prediction. 38-35, Texans. Watson to Kenny Stills for an 18 yard TD with 0:02 seconds left in the game. Pat Mahomes becomes the first QB to post a perfect QB rating (158.3) and lose. (I think he'd be the only one...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People talk about his concussions, but don't mention how he missed two games due to it. People don't talk about how Cooks played in more games (including playoffs) than any other WR since 2015 - so his track record is actually that of one of the most dependable WRs in football. Sure, he's not DeAndre Hopkins - not many WRs are on that tier. (I'd argue none are on that tier, but that's an argument for Comparisons). But, Deshaun Watson is showing to have an ability to make good players better than they are - so, the team is doubling down on Watson. There are worse bets out there... cooks wasn't even that good last season with better talent around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what universe is Jared Goff better than Deshaun Watson? You have consistently bad takes on... well, everything. But this one is really bad.

I was saying Cooks played alongside Robert Woods, Kopp, Josh Reynolds, Higbee and a better running game than the Texans, and McVay is a much better offensive mind than O'Brien is. He only cracked 100 receiving yards once all season. Once! Edited September 10, 2020 by Texansfan713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect even 2 of them to play 16 though. is desean really a number 1 when healthy? desean hasn't been a legit number 1 since his first eagles stint and even that is pushing it.

That's probably the most important position when evaluating how effective a WR can be... So everything else you compare against shouldn't matter. 2019 Jared Goff was a far cry from 2018 Jared Goff - this should end this conversation. But, well address it anyways: 50 minutes ago, Texansfan713 said: I was saying Cooks played alongside Robert Woods, Kopp, Josh Reynolds So... He's playing with guys who take away targets from him. That "better talent" would impact his numbers negativity, right? 53 minutes ago, Texansfan713 said: better running game than the Texans The 26th ranked rushing attack (Rams) is better than the 9th ranked rushing attack (Texans)? I don't think numbers or rankings work that way. But... feel free to expand on this. 56 minutes ago, Texansfan713 said: McVay is a much better offensive mind than O'Brien is. Ok, now we're saying something that makes sense. So you're 1/3 today, hitting .333... Not the worst. 57 minutes ago, Texansfan713 said: He only cracked 100 receiving yards once all season. Once! The entire Rams offense took steps backwards last year. As stated earlier, Cooks dropped down in the pecking order to Cooper Kupp (who wasn't around the last time Cooks broke the 1,000 yard barrier, he tore his ACL). He also missed two games with a concussion - so sure, his numbers were going to drop. He broke 100 once last season, but what were you expecting? We're you expecting 2018 when he broke it four times, and broke over 85 yards receiving seven times that year? For that to happen, he'd need 2018 Goff, not Goff from last season...

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Shootout that's close until the mid 3rd quarter until the Chiefs pull ahead, with the Texans unable to make up the gap. 42- 33 KC over HOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I really hope this downpour stops before game time... Our field crew is typically one of the best, but I would hate for the field to add to what is probably going to be a sloppy game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
