Mallett future HoF'er

The Bengals are coming to Houston on Sunday. Huge home game. A chance to reach 6-5 and a winning record. Andy Dalton usually struggles every time he comes home. Johnathan Joseph needs to lock down A.J. Green but I feel good about the Texans chances. They usually beat the Bengals, home or road, playoffs or regular season. Everybody is healthy except Arian Foster (groin injury), but he may return against the Bengals.

Alfred Blue looks like he can start for a few teams so I'm not worried if Arian Foster can't go against the Bengals. The Texans defense is capable of shutting down the Bengals offense. The Texans offense, with Ryan Mallett taking over, will throw some new wrinkles out there. Hopefully the Bengals defense will be playing a guessing game all game long at NRG Stadium.

The Texans are only -2.5 and slightly favored at home over the Bengals. I thought it would be -6.5 or so given the Texans recent success against the Bengals but oh well. Las Vegas never learns. Apparently the Texans have to beat the Bengals for a 5th time in a row before people actually view them as a better team.

i'm routing for you guys to dethrone the lolcolts

Bengals, although good, have the tendency to play like crap, and Dalton's usually good for atleast 1 INT.

The Texans defense should be able to force some turnovers against Andy Dalton.

Maybe it's just me or does Ryan Mallett handle his post-game interviews just like Tom Brady does?
1-0 as a starting quarterback. It only took four years but he seems very excited about his opportunity.

If the Texans beat the Bengals and Ravens they're going to help the Steelers win the AFC North.
But more importantly we need all six of these wins in a row coming up. 11-5 should be our goal.
Home games against the Bengals, Ravens, Titans, road game at Colts, two games against Jaguars.

run Foster/Blue 25 times each against the Colts Defense and you'll win.

The Texans will probably be favored in every game left except for the road game against the Colts. But I like their chances to win all six games. Our pass rush has gotten a boost with Jadeveon Clowney back and feeling good again. The current spread for this Sunday's home game against the Bengals is -2 which I think is a little low but I'll take it if I decide to bet on it.



They smacked Brian Hoyer around like a rag doll. Can't wait to see the same done to Andy Dalton next.

PFF: "Ryan Mallett's average time per pass attempt was 2.06 seconds vs CLE. Off the charts fast, lowest in the league this week."

Played pretty damn good against a top 10 defense. Ranked 7th in points and 11th in pass defense. On the road and in the cold as well, pretty damn good start for his first career game.
