Hard to believe it's almost here. I'm ready for a win and that will breed talk of an undefeated season and another Lombardi Trophy! Realistic? Of course not, but I'll enjoy it anyway!

Cannot WAIT

That's just because you're mature and experienced in these things. I'll also be more realistic and adult-like in my comments............probably by the 2nd quarter! It's always fun to get started though!

the texans will be a tough game to win

i know some will say their qb isnt great ETC . however their defense is pretty good and if they can hang around at home and be there at the end they can beat us

we need too call a great game vs the texans and get on them right away

if RG3 comes out as tavarus jackson we will lose

the defense showed well so that is a plus but the offense and qb play so far is pedestrian

clowney , cushing , and watt present huge blocking issues for us and a shaky non trusting qb could be disaster for us

andre johnson and his sidekick are pretty good too so pass rush is a must and dont sleep on foster

Don't disagree with any of this. There is a legit reason that Houston is favored.

Still, I think we win this one by more than 3 points.

We can only hope we look better than we did in practice against the Pats...

we will win if we watch the turnovers

Saw the line as 3 points. Since 3 points is normally given to the home team it's really a toss up.

Hopefully the Texans resume their losing ways and the Skins don't.

Good point. We will need our Def early on this season and keeping the TO's at a minimum will be one of the keys.

The Clowney v. Williams matchup should be a classic.......I'm not sure who's gonna block Cushing or Watt. The key to this game will be the running attack. If all goes well there the passing attempts should go down and there will be a lot less reliance on the defense.


I pick Washington to win, likely by some blown call or fluke play. Final score Washington 12.......Houston 9 (All FG's)
