Official Texans @ Cowboys Fake Game Thread, 9/3/2015

Oh yeah, almost forgot there was a game today, a meaningless fourth preseason game.

Ok, maybe not so meaningless to Tom Savage and several other players. Savage expected to start. Might be the last we see of him under center until 2016.

Important game to the bubble players and that's about it.....But hey, it's the Texans, it's football....

Gametime is 7pm CST, ABC Channel 13 in the Houston area.

Oddly, the Texans are favored by 3.5 which I find quite weird....

The best thing about the last preseason game is knowing the real games will start soon. The second best thing is we no longer have to listen to Spencer Tillman. According to him, every 4th stringer is a potential Pro Bowler.

I was watching to determine the runner's "intentionality" (Tillmanism)....
