Why just imagine what Watson could do if he had a couple of real NFL tackles and a talented TE in his offense with him ?

Ryan Griffin looked good today.

He had a decent game.
Speaking of TEs what's the story on Fido ? I know he went IR for '17 after his third concussion this year but is it potentially bigger than that, is there a serious consideration that he might retire from football ?
JJoe had a good game, wonder can we squeeze another year after this one out of our aging CB ? I would say clearly he and Arron Glenn are the best corners the Texans have ever had ?

I always thought Fido was on the IR Eligible-to-return list. Not sure exactly when the deadline to return is....8th week, 10th week, something like that?

After all the drama and injuries, the Texans are 3-3 and tied for first place in the division, sorta where you'd expect. One win we didn't expect (@Cincy) and one loss we didn't expect (to Jax) so we're headed into the bye exactly where we expected.

Suddenly, the offense is saving our skin and the defense is vulnerable due to the wave of injuries.

Radio was saying the other day that we have the 2nd easiest schedule of the remaining games. I'm expecting a winning record at the end of the year and will be disappointed if it's not....

I was thinking next three games after bye, Seattle, Colts, Rams aren't necessarily easy?

[HPF Bob]

A winning record would have been expected had we not lost so many key players. I see us finishing in the 7-9 to 9-7 range with a lot depending on how we do within the division (1-1 so far).

Before the season began the Rams looked pretty automatic but no more, especially with it being the second west coast trip for us in 15 days and Luck will probably be back for our game.
