Default Official Texans @ Packers Fake Game Thread, 8/8/2019

The Texans are up in Wisconsin preparing for a Thursday's televised scrimmage against the Packers. Should be a good look at some of the new Texans - AJ McCarron, Matt Kalil, draftees, etc....

For the seriously depraved, the Packers are favored by 1 to 2½.

Start time = 7 pm CST

TV = Most likely ABC (Channel 13 local)

For NFL junkies, there is also televised games on Friday and Saturday night this week.....

The game will be replayed Friday morning on the NFL Network although it may be the Packers broadcasters.

The only guys I know well are likely to be on the sidelines after the first quarter. The rest will be scrub city.

McCarron is injured, right?

Kind of a bummer since he was going to be a big reason why to watch this preseason.

Chronicle is reporting a thumb injury with McCarron who will miss part of the preseason. I've heard new signee QB Jordan Ta'amu might see playing time tonight....

D'onta Foreman has signed with the Colts.

Webb throws another INT deep in Texan territory. Texans hold on 4th and goal but a ticky tack holding call on Bademosi gives the Packers a fresh set of downs inside the 5.

Boyles pass to J Moore is good for the 1 yd TD.

Packers 21, Texans 10

12:21 left in the 3rd qtr.

After the Packer turnover on the ensuing kickoff, the Texans don't have much success and settle for a Fairbairn 45 yard FG.

Packers 28, Texans 19

12:08 left in the game.

Joe Webb is not terrible.

Hard to say what else I saw out there.

Preseason is just dreadful. Worse every year. Tough to tell much of anything.

Tytus wasn’t terrible, sad to say I had been expecting worse?

Pass rush D is going to be an issue if any part of Clooney-Watt-Mercilus isn’t playing.

Coutee needs a do-over on this game. The muffed punt and early departure due to what now seems to be an insignificant injury was not inspiring.

Yep, seems like starters get less and less playing time every year for fear of injury and then we spend most of September waiting for the team to gel/build chemistry....

Didn't think we would see 4 quarters of Joe Webb....

Next up is Detroit at home on a Saturday night.

Preseason is totally pointless. Around the league rookie QBs who have a chance to start played a single series. I get the risk of injury, but you still have to get ready for the games. Last season we kept Watson off the field despite his limited reps and long injury layoff, and he looked terrible in week 1. We gave away 1/16 of the incredibly short season. It seems the aversion to playing in preseason has gone way past the tipping point and is completely counter productive.

I agree with the pointless to watch sentiments. And all made valid points, ankle sprain can minor, or they can be significant. So until we know more on Coutee's prognosis, which we will not know because the teams keep these so secret.
