Has Cooks even played this half? Not being sarcastic I haven’t seen him even out there. Wonder if he tweaked that quad.

Happy to be watching football though, just the football.
Yes, please don't let us have these announcers this season. They are so terrible. They make the game almost unwatchable.

Game pass is still ignoring me so if I miss this weekend I will have to get a refund. Their support totally sucks. God help you if there is a problem because they won't. It won't even allow me to delete my accounts.

Watson is going to struggle without his blanky Hopkins out there. His mechanics are just so bad.

Hopkins 104 receptions are a lot to replace... yet Cobb, Cooks, Fuller aren’t bad... If that group stays healthy it’s not a bad group.

I didn’t see the 2nd half, but David Johnson looked good early too.

Chris Collinsworth is the problem.

It's as if he's not even watching the game he's supposed to be commenting on. There were multiple times last night that he would scream about what a fantastic tackle JJ Watt just made... then, the replay would clearly show Watt being pancaked into the ground and never even touch the ball-carrier. Collinsworth never once corrected himself while watching the replay either. What a joke. Just terrible. And like I said... he did this exact same thing MANY times throughout the game.

If healthy is big because Fuller couldn't stay healthy at Notre Dame either and it's translated into the Pros. Cooks seems to be playing scared, as to David Johnson, he did play well, but he appears to be 28 going on 35 IMHO.

He kept talking about the amazing job the Texans DC was doing because he was preventing the Chiefs offense from putting together quick drives. Like they weren’t scoring touchdowns anyway lol

I have only watched the first half so far... but it didn’t strike me as overly sloppy, all things considered. I expected worse without preseason.

My concern, if the TNF game is any kind of week 1 indicator, is that tackling, especially in the run game, will be off.

That plays to their strength and we’ll definitely have to bring our A game vs the run or it’s gonna be a long day.

I think we can do it, but I’m more nervous than I was yesterday.

Honestly missed tackles was the biggest problem last time we played the Cowboys. A lot of those big runs would have been minimal gains had the first and sometimes second defender brought down the ball carrier.
