Why'd you jinx us with Hopkins Matty?

Houston has won 6 in a row.

All that tells me is they're due for a loss :joecool:

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

Williams out

CT Doubtful

per JAY

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

CT and Trent pretty much are always hurt. We can win games w/out them. What is the status w/ Marshall? I swear if given the chance that kid is just as good as a lot of RB's out of the backfield. I hope they activate him at some point.

I see us at 11-5 , 10-6 at worst.

First round VS Minnesota :)

[quote=skinsfaninok;1207255]It's a pretty even matchup, i'm actually excited for this game. I won't be mad if we lose, only if we get beat like the ATL and NO games. I just dont see that happening, Houston cant score like that.[/quote]

Exactly how I feel...honestly would like to see if they COULD actually win a close game down the stretch. You have to think Houston will plan to throw a lot looking at the tape of our D in our losses...so I'm anxious to see if Manusky sticks with the bend don't break D of last week.

It's hard for me to picture that W-L record but if we beat Texas this week I could start to lean toward 10-6. Right now, I'd say we could win the division at 9-7 but we need to beat Philly at least once to get the job done.

I do think that would be a good plan, especially if Dunbar is out, but Watson won't give us turnovers like Fitz did, and Hopkins is a real redzone threat... This game is gonna be a tough one, and we may have to take more chances, ie bringing more pressure.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

This is the week where Bruce Allen actually has an important role in the organization and maybe what keeps him employed. Anyway gotta pass the ball better, not going to be able to just run the Texans over. Is Docston ever going to have a 8-10 catch game where he has 100+ yards?

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

The next 3 weeks are going to be huge for the season. We need to win at least 2 of the 3 and preferably against Dallas and Philly, with Philly [I]definitely [/I]needing to be one of those wins.

If we can go 3-0 over that time we'll be sitting very pretty going down the stretch.

It's starts with the Texans this week but I really see the Philly game as the one that could decide the season.

I don't think he's that kind of wr, he's more of a RZ target and a possession guy.

I agree with this. We must beat Philly at least once, possibly twice.

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1207315]I agree with this. We must beat Philly at least once, possibly twice.[/quote]

The Skins can go 3-4 over their last seven and get to 9-7. Wins against the Giants and Jags seem highly likely to me (not a given, but highly likely). Dallas of Philly would need to go 5-2 to make that happen and force tie breakers. If the Skins beat Philly once this division is ours.

Doctson has improved over the last 2 games...him and Mo Harris have provided a decent targets.

I wonder if the Mighty Quinn will be active and if he can provide a spark. We need to move these safeties off the LOS and pressure them with some deeper throws. But Alex needs to deliver better throws as well. The whole passing game needs to be better to win.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread

"For Sunday's game against Houston, Josh Doctson will start and play the X receiver position. If Quinn can get up to speed quickly and work in the slot WR role on Sunday, then Harris will lineup opposite Doctson at the Z position. "

Interesting. Quinn would jump into slot...pushing Harris to the outside. A Cooper-like effect would be great from Quinn if he can go.

If we beat Dallas and Philly once, it's hard to imagine that we won't make the playoffs.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

I would love for us to win this game, but I don't think it's going to happen. The Texans offense is good enough to move the ball and score on our defense. Their defense is good enough to shut down our offense with Alex Smith leading it. I just don't think we're luck up this week like last week.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

Doc, Mo and Quinn, that is the new Posse.

True to his word, and he's a real leader. That's why he's one of my favorite players.

He hasn't even broke 50 yards in a game this year, time to move on from him.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

[quote=Buffalo Bob;1207351]He hasn't even broke 50 yards in a game this year, time to move on from him.[/quote]

He has like 4 or 5 catches for 50 yards and that is a big day for him.

Man if DeAndre Hopkins is out that is a HUGE difference in the game! Never wish injuries and don't like cheap wins, but winning this game could be huge for us and if they're minus their main weapon that sure helps...

This guy helps too, especially since Watson has 7 Tds in the last 2 weeks from a clean pocket.

I only know since I have Hop on one of my fantasy teams but he's been questionable quite a bit this year. I wouldn't count on him missing this week.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

[QUOTE=FrenchSkin;1207218]I was about to say this is the game I'm the least confident we can win of our remaining ones.



Then I looked at the [URL="http://www.nfl.com/schedules/2018/REG/TEXANS"]Texans' schedule[/URL] ... and they've sure been on a hot streak, but [I][U]it's not like they've beaten great teams either[/U][/I] (L@NE, L@TEN, LvsNYG, W@IND, WvsDAL, WvsBUF,W@JAX, WvsMIA, W@DEN).



If our D plays up to it's potential, I could see a close game that could go either way. But I really wouldn't lose sweat over an L this week, because [I][U]I don't see a game we couldn't win after that[/U][/I].



Oh, and get ready, no matter who covers him,[I][U] DeAndre Hopkins is going to make some nice catches[/U][/I], no need to roast anybody for that, he's uncoverable. I would [I][U]double him all game[/U][/I], we can afford that with Fuller out.



My Kool Aid/Manusky has a plan for Hopkins prediction: Skins 17 Texans 14



But I really wouldn't lose my mind over a loss.[/QUOTE]



@ Dallas? @ Philly? @Jax? @ Tennessee? Home games vs two division rivals in philly n the gints? I don’t see a game we couldn’t lose after that either. That is not an easy stretch at all.

Re: Homecoming / Houston Thread
 

[QUOTE=MTK;1207265]People talk about turnovers and the defense as to why we're winning, it's also special teams. Hopkins is 17/19 on the year on FGs and hasn't missed a PAT, and Way is pinning teams deep and hasn't even had a touchback yet.[/QUOTE]



Mentioned special teams several times, they are executing and definitely not putting us in tough spots as has been the case for as long as i can remember. A huge reason we are 6-3.
