Official Texans @ Bengals Game Thread, 9/14/2017

Another thing I love - the team has a number of TE tryouts scheduled for some time in mid-October. Good work, boys, don't rush into anything.

The decision to keep Fairbairn was, so far at least, plainly the correct choice. The only thing that would be better is if he were left footed so his kickoffs would spin differently.

One last thing for today - as I've said and as many of you have observed, the Pats are eminently beatable. The Texans are not a good team, but I'm not sure the Pats are a good team either. I will be fascinated to see their game Sunday.

A great defense and a competent offense will beat the Patriots. It certainly doesn't appear that we have either, but you never know. Winning this game and then having a ton of time to regroup is huge. Both sides of the ball took some small steps today, small but significant.
