At least. You guys saw our offensive line against Seattle and in the second half against Indy.
That's what I'm most worried about.

Hopefully McCarthy takes a page from the Patriots' book and moves back towards the quick slants and screen passes that served Green Bay so well last year and in 2007.

Texans, too much pressure on the Packers to win this game and I don't trust their O-line

Re: Week 6 SNF: Green Bay Packers (2-3) @ Houston Texans (5-0)

I'm surprised so many people are picking the Texans by double-digits.

This is definently a 1-possession game. QB's complete 7% more of their passes when Cushing isn't on the field. Jonathan Joseph struggled in coverage against the Jets' 7th string receivers.

Defensively the Pack have been pretty good. Yeah, they struggled vs the Colts, but they undoubtably were playing their best game of the season. I expect them to rebound. At the same time, Houston should have more urgency on offense since their defense can't carry them as well as before. Andre Johnson needs a big game.

I'll say Texans in a nail-biter, 27-24.

The Texans can get in a dime set, drop 7, and still create a dominant pass rush with Watt, Smith, Reed (Mini-Matthews) and Barwin.

We'll have to be the lights out Pack of last year and the 2010 playoff run to win this one.

I have to disagree, they played their best game against the Bears. 7 sacks 4 ints and held the vaunted Brandon Marshall to a couple catches.

I was talking about the Colts.

Re: Week 6 SNF: Green Bay Packers (2-3) @ Houston Texans (5-0)

The Texans have outscored their opponents at home 68-24 and the Packers have been outscored in the second half of two road loses 34-18.

I don't see that pattern changing Sunday night.

Jonathon Joesph was a top 15 CB last season, he had a one bad game last week. Normally, those players bounce back. With Jennings out, the Packers haven't had a pass more than 30 yds. Last season, they did that with ease. Every team the Packers have played, are playing their safeties deep.

I think people are forgetting how bad the Niners beat the Packers in every phase of game 1.

Jennings, Benson, and Raji, who hasn't practiced, yet, out, it will be against all odds if the Packers squeak out a victory.
