[Official] Week 6- Saints @ Texans

Yes, we gave Atlanta their only win this year, but we beat the Jags 37-17 and the Steelers 30-6, and those teams have a combined 6 wins. That's the way we need to play the Saints. The Saints haven't beat anyone with a winning record this year, and the 3 teams they beat have a combined 3 wins, so maybe they aren't as big of a defensive threat as the numbers show them to be. Also, Carr has been playing with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder the past couple weeks and has been sacked 15 times.

I hope our old Texan Tyrann Mathieu isn't the one to claim Stroud's first interception. We can't afford dropped passes or a poor rushing game. We also have to be able to stop the rush, especially in the red zone. With Dell ruled out It very well could be a fight to the finish, but I'm hoping Collins has a heck of a game, and with our home field advantage, a couple sacks on Carr, and an interception or forced fumble recovery we end up with another upset win.

Last week brought me back down a few inches to earth.. which means I wasn't too high on their asses anyway..
Saints- 24
Texans - 10

That high may never come back..

 

I expect the Texans to have the lead with 2 minutes remaining in the game. Better hope they have the ball on offense. =(

 

Texans - 27
Saints - 13

 

HOU 23 NO 20.

 

Stroud throws his first pick.
Saints 24
Texans 16

 

I was way more confident about this game before the Atlanta game.

Not so sure now.

 

Y’all switch up quick!

Texans 30
Saints 24

 

TY for posting... Go Texans!

 

Texans 26 Saints 19

 

Though Derek Carr being on the other side offers hope, I don't feel good about this game.

Saints defense is nasty.

 

Maybe it's not as nasty as it seems though. I mean the 3 teams they beat only have a combined 3 wins this season. They haven't beat anyone with a winning record and we beat two of the division leaders badly.

 

Get ready for strouds 1st pick and some sacks

 

Carr has been sacked 4 more times than Stroud. Maybe we can add to his 15 sacks. Maybe we give him his 3rd interception too.

 

I'll be there!

 

Maybe, but Stroud does get rid of the ball quite quickly.

 

I would love to see DeMeco dial up the blitzes.. seems like we haven't seen much.

 

Expect the worst, hope for the best.


I expect a score of 31 -17 Saints, but I hope that's flipped and that we have 5 sacks.
