[Keyhawk]

Road favorites again, just like week 1 at Carolina.

The Houston D scares me, especially being on the road, but boy does Schaub vs LOB ever NOT scare me at all.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

Foster is hurt still because he has been running the ball like poo.

I would gladly take 1-1 on this road swing to the Midwest, so I hope they win this one so I can relax for the @IND game and take things as they come instead of being desperate to see them win.

Houston does not scare me, they have been playing like p00p !

 

[hawkfannj]

This is a real true test for our hawks on the road !

 

[davidonmi]

I agree have to get a split, their dline scares me tho. Can't really judge who wins until we know the status of red, Duane brown and johnson

I would gladly take 2-0. I would grudgingly accept 1-1. C'mon man, raise your standards!

Andre Johnson could be questionable?

Source: Andre Johnson will have an MRI on his bruised shin.
Johnson got kneed in the leg by Ravens LB Josh Bynes in the second quarter Sunday. He tried to return in the third quarter after X-rays came back negative, but couldn't move well. "I know when I went out there I couldn't play the way I am capable of playing. You see the film -- I'm limping out there around trying to play," Johnson said. The MRI will determine just how severe the bruise is. If Johnson misses time, DeAndre Hopkins will get a big boost.

I expect Seattle to win in a close tough game.

 

[Erebus]

Not sure how Hopkins gets a boost with Johnson out. That means he goes up against Sherman.

 

[Cartire]

I expect Seattle to win in a close tough game.

I do too, however, I am completely fine splitting the next 2 games as long as we beat the Colts. I want to beat the colts so bad. I want a Wilson vs Luck showdown to be a Seattle victory. I will be fine losing Houston if I knew we could beat Indy.

Road favorites in Houston? I am as big of a Hawks fan as any. If I was betting money on this game, I would bet the Hawks to lose a close one.

Houston is a dangerous squad. Very dangerous. Aside from the Niners in SF, this will be their toughest test IMHO. Bigger than Atlanta.

Not really. With Browner back, we go back to Sherman on left side and Browner on right. Sherman has said this again and again, he doesnt have to follow the #1 with Browner in. To much respect for the Brownsters.

What makes you say all that? Houston has looked like doggy poop so far this year

 

[DavidSeven]

Carolina looked a lot better today than Houston has looked at any point this season. Houston could have easily lost their first two games against the Chargers and Titans. They also looked awful at the end of last year. They are overrated.

That being said, the thought of Watt against our line is still pretty scary.

Should have pointed out - got that off of rotoworld so it was likely in reference to fantasy value. (Though even then you could make the argument)

I also think they are dangerous but they are not better than atlanta

MORE.

How must I prepare, you must ask yourself. Should I jump off the tallest building in the world? Should I lay on the lawn and let them run over me with lawn-mowers? Should I go to Africa and let them trample me with raging elephants? - The Ultimate Warrior

I think, the Warrior may have been a Tanzanian Prophet of the Hawks.

Because I have been a Seahawks fan for a long time.

Hey, I think they have a good shot at winning. I'm just saying if I was betting on it I would pick the Texans. JJ Watt is a one man wrecking crew. As we saw today, even Jacksonville can score a TD if you give them the ball near the goal line.

Running is important in this one.

Beating Indy will be much tougher than Houston. Both games should be ugly low scoring affairs.
