I'd give the points in this one.Holy Moly, Texans have opened at +16.5!![]()
It's now between 17 and 17-1/2Holy Moly, Texans have opened at +16.5!![]()
Geezus….It's now between 17 and 17-1/2
I agree and will not be surprised if Mills takes another step forward nor will I be shocked if he does not.I still believe in "any given Sunday," especially with Mills (and the rest of the team) getting a whole week of prep as well as a whole week of planning a game strategy and a whole week of practice...........as well a whole week + to rehab.

Nope even he refused to get behind this offensive line.Geezus….
Wouldn’t blame him. Although he’d be fine as long as the blitz wasn’t comin.Nope even he refused to get behind this offensive line.
Apparently, the Bills are not in the top 5 or lower 5 blitzing teams.Wouldn’t blame him. Although he’d be fine as long as the blitz wasn’t comin.
The Bills don't need to rely on the blitz;Apparently, the Bills are not in the top 5 or lower 5 blitzing teams.
I can't imagine anything in the Jags game or the Browns game to make anyone think different.Remember that the Panthers game was probably the only game most
I hope it's raining. Thunder, lightning, mud slides, all that.Hope the Bills are looking ahead to the Chiefs??
Bills look to get pressure with their D-Line (rather than blitzing).Apparently, the Bills are not in the top 5 or lower 5 blitzing teams.
Mills is going to be busyBills look to get pressure with their D-Line (rather than blitzing).

Meh, 51 attempts to get 330 yards with three INT's isn't a good game.We're not stopping anyone but Trevor... no,, he had a good game against us..
We didn't stop him. We're not stopping Josh Allen & that's really the point.Meh, 51 attempts to get 330 yards with three INT's isn't a good game.
He has 125 passing yards when it was 34-7 with 3:24 to go in the third. He had only thrown the ball 24 times to that point.
So 205 yards on 27 attempts in the final 18 minutes of absolute garbage time and he still got intercepted once.
That's not all it says to me.All that says to me is no one is betting on the Texans. The odds makers will keep raising the spread until people start to put money on the Texans and even out the betting. If that happens you will see the points drop later in the week.
Remember that the Panthers game was probably the only game most people have seen the Texans play.
Well yeah it also says that most people believe the Bills are the better team. Which unfortunately I agree with.That's not all it says to me.
I 100% agree. I can confidently take a stand & say he might be better or he might not.I agree and will not be surprised if Mills takes another step forward nor will I be shocked if he does not.
The line currently moves back to between 16-1/2 and 17.I'll take the Texans and the 17 1/2 points.
If I was a betting man. Which I'm not
Just musings about the extent and details of the carnage.The Texans are going to lose. What's there to discuss?![]()
It could be argued Mills played well enough to win that game. He had no support. No run game, one ST play, no defense in the 2nd half.Offensively, I think Mills plays about the same as he did against the Panthers. I don’t predict any Great Leap Forward. Like Carolina, they are fast & They saw what they did… & they will do the same & get after him
Well yeah it also says that most people believe the Bills are the better team. Which unfortunately I agree with.
I'm just saying that the point spread is driven by other considerations than just accurately predicting the score.
The line currently moves back to between 16-1/2 and 17.
Are you sure you didn't just put in a large bet, Mattress Mack?![]()
The over/under is set at 48. I’m guessing 38-14. Take the over. I like @Texansballer74 score prediction also.Bills are a -10 in the 1st half.
i said in the postgame thread that he acquitted himself well. By that I mean he didn’t lose us the game…which in the particularly tough situation he was placed in (short week, 1st start etc) is all you can really ask for given how rookie qbs tend to do that in general. I do like what i saw from him in that 1 game tho.It could be argued Mills played well enough to win that game. He had no support. No run game, one ST play, no defense in the 2nd half.
You mean in a "don't know what he don't know" Kind of way?But eventually he will have to show growth in his game for me to be convinced that that poise is actually poise…& not cluelessness.
This is a good sign.You mean in a "don't know what he don't know" Kind of way?
He looked clueless the first couple of series against Cleveland, but since then he looks like he belongs. The game hasn't been too big for him yet. I agree with Culley, looks like he can handle more.
Sort of. I was more thinking along the lines of how Osweiler was with talking the talk of a franchise qb. That dude had really mastered the qb talk in terms of conveying confidence that he knew what he was doing and that got him over in the initial PC and 1st couple of games with the fans. But by midseason, his play had shown that that’s all he’d mastered b/c his game was super trash.You mean in a "don't know what he don't know" Kind of way?

I think you've just about covered all of your bases.I agree and will not be surprised if Mills takes another step forward nor will I be shocked if he does not.
Great, that settles it.The over/under is set at 48. I’m guessing 38-14. Take the over. I like @Texansballer74 score prediction also.
Agreed, we are still in the lets see what we have in Mills stage of the QB's development.Sort of. I was more thinking along the lines of how Osweiler was with talking the talk of a franchise qb.

Savage conveyed similar “poise” to me too ….which as it turned out was just really him being a dead pan reactionary type person in general who couldn’t process his reads fast enough.
Ya, it will probably be 24-7 or something like that.Great, that settles it.
I'll go for the Under.
Seriously, I think it might be a frustrating game to watch ==> Under
he has looked fine considering the circumstances. The other guys:Agreed, we are still in the lets see what we have in Mills stage of the QB's development.
Couldn't this be said about any of the rookie QB's?
How do you think Mills has looked against 2 very good defenses in a game and a half vs the other rookie QB's in 3 games and Fields? I know it's early but the results are very promising seeing that Mills will be facing 4 of the best defenses in the NFL and showed poise. I thought he played well despite missing 2 of his best WR's.
Mills has played 6 qtrs and 13 games in college and he looked much better than Fields. Can you imagine this MB if Mills had played as bad as Fields did against Cleveland. The coaching staff did a great job preparing Mills to face the NFL's #1 defense against Carolina.
I think the next two games will be telling. The Texans simplified the game plans for Mills, which I think is good coaching, whereas the other rookie qb's were asked more of. This could be reflected by their performances.Agreed, we are still in the lets see what we have in Mills stage of the QB's development.

All ints aren't created equal. I expect him to throw 1 int that matters within the course of the game..& he may throw another late when Buf has the game well in hand and it doesn't really matter.I think the next two games will be telling. The Texans simplified the game plans for Mills, which I think is good coaching, whereas the other rookie qb's were asked more of. This could be reflected by their performances.
The Texans are going to open the playbook for Mills starting Sunday and how he responds will be the best test and indication of his skills so far this season. McClain just said on 610 he expects Mills to have 2 INT's.
F*** McClain. I know a lot of people respect his opinion, but I don't, and really haven't for a long time.I think the next two games will be telling.

To be fair, what did those two QBs have in common?Sort of. I was more thinking along the lines of how Osweiler was with talking the talk of a franchise qb.

I like Davis Mills, but what have you seen the last 6 qtrs?F*** McClain. I know a lot of people respect his opinion, but I don't, and really haven't for a long time.
suckage?….but I don’t think you can blame that on BoB, the other thing they had in common. I think they would’ve been bad no matter who their coach was.To be fair, what did those two QBs have in common?
