RoyBatty is alive Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The one to really fear playing is Fuller, he plays you have a serious dual threat in Hopkins and Fuller who has great speed and can really stretch the field. It is a totally different offensive dynamic with Fuller playing. Joseph is old and not very good but at least he is smart, their secondary has been one of the worst in the league. JJ Watt, who knows what kind of impact he could have, could be huge of could be a total non-event. Their pass rush has truly suffered withut Watt in there. How healthy he is after such a short recovery time is anyone's guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLEN1QB Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I don't expect any of them to be a serious threat probably won't play in the second half if they make it that far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What JJ Watt is doing is admirable but the Texans should sideline him unless they make it to the conference championship or the Super Bowl. All it's going to take is one good ding and that's re-injured or retorn. Sometimes re-injuring a healing muscle really a recovery back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing really well early in the season (21 qb hits in just 8 games), and my understanding is that the tear wasn't a major one. I expect he'll be fine.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We'll know for sure when the last injury report comes out. Even if they play, they will be limited. If that is the case, I'll be glad to see them out there at less than 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsherd Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I think they just want the bills to spend time preparing as if Fuller is playing. I doubt he plays a full game even if active. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt has historically destroyed the Bills. He basically won the 2014 game single-handedly (9 QB hits - 9! -, one of which caused a game ending INT, and a pick-six), completely dominated in the 2012 game, and was unblockable in the game last season. He also played well in the game the Bills won in 2015, with a bunch of tackles and a TFL. Edited December 31, 2019 by dave mcbride 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit nervous trying to figure out how we would stop Cooper, Gallup and Zeke on Thanksgiving. We did a good job. We got to get to Watson, I’ve heard on Houston boards he doesn’t like to scramble as much. Can’t give up the big play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add Watt and a healthy Joseph all of a sudden they aren’t the same team that struggled all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually prefer that their best players be hobbled by injury given that they're arguably the better team on paper and playing at home.

Joseph is ancient and is now one of the worst starting corner backs in the NFL, his starting is a testament to how truly bad the Texans secondary is. If J Allen is accurate, we will be able to complete some deep balls on them, John Brown could have a monster day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But their guys and even ours probably will be limited in some fashion. I can’t see any players with groin, hamstring and ankle injuries healing in such sort time to play at an Nfl speed without further risk. Ty seems to get hurt like every other week.

Big Blitz Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) We scored 17, 17, 17 vs Baltimore Pittsburgh and New England. Woulda shoulda couldas I know but we were also inside the 15 the last 2 plays of the game in the 2 losses. Points were there to be had against those elite Ds. In my own adjustment vs opponent here....we should score 24 plus points. If not I'll buy Daboll a ticket to the Cleveland interview. Sorry I fear nothing about their defense. Not this season. Score 27 and we win. Edited December 31, 2019 by Big Blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
