Official Texans @ Saints Fake Game Thread, 8/30/2015
 

Game three of the preseason, 3pm-ish kickoff on FOX after all of the Katrina retrospectives.

Third game is supposed to be the least fake game as teams start to prepare for the real thing. It will be interesting to see how the Texan QB distribution shakes out.

The Saints are favored by 4.

There's today's game and then the preseason finale on Thursday with the Cowboys. I believe the "turk" strikes before and after the Cowboy game...

The Turk already struck S Stevie Brown. Cut yesterday.

Nix and Pagan got worked over pretty bad during that first drive...

Who is LAMM

Neither of those guys will smell the field in a real game, especially Nix.

Undrafted FA. A Duane Brown injury away from being your starting LT.

Who the hell knows, maybe he can play. We're going to find out.

Rookie tackle from Appalachian State.

Wow, what a catch by Hop! Ruled no catch but challenged by the Texans...

Challenge failed but Blue punches it in from the 1.

Terrible, terrible call. Man, I hate that.

I loved the look on BOB's face after James' run. It was like, Damn, I might not be able to cut this guy.

Charles James has a long TD run called back because of holding but not much to mention in the final quarter..... Savage, again, shows some good things.....

Final Score:

Texans 27, Saints 13

Onward to the real stuff....
