    Start your handicapping there, then build upon it. The QB is only part of the equation.

    Lol no doubt. If ya can predict the score you should be good!! like you said simple but I honestly don't think many do this, should be number 1 priority to figure out and project a pace to determine how many plays/possessions each team will have, then look at the matchups to determine how many yards to expect to determine how many drives will end in points how many fgs/tds/punts. Certainly not a simple process but the logic certainly is and a exercise everyone capping the games should try..

    Eventually I think skins will be fine cause Pryor projects as a better red zone target than either of the 2 guys they lost.. really don't think they will lose ability to move the ball between the 20s, have to remember like the falcons skins lost their playcaller this offseason as well, matter fact they playing his team this week. Stuff just takes time to work out and cousins been historically slow starter up to this point in his career. they def need one of the youngsters to emerge as a deep threat to take the top off the defense tho, not many better in that role than Djax who now gonna be a huge addition to Tampa.

    I guess the only question will be is cousins simply the problem in the red zone? It a fair question as windows tighten up and defenses stiffen it pretty much what seperates the good from bad these days where any capable offense can move it between the 20s.. could be why skins so reluctant to give him his long term deal..

    To a extent. He made plays and moved the ball but he threw several really bad ones that was very fortunate didn't get picked, the most blatant should have been a easy pick 6 if corner doesn't get caught up thinking about his td dance before letting it bounce off his chest.. his oline did him no favors as chargers ends were all in his grill..

    Little bit of both.

    He will have moments throughout the season but he gonna struggle this week as skin will cause way more problems for him than colts Sherman soft d.

He had a dominate receiver that he just eye balled and threw it up to , if he wasn't open he took off running it ... The guy doesn't go through his progressions at all . Thats not gonna work in the NFL .... Dalton won't have 5 int's ...maybe 2 lol That will be enough to win the game by 14

    Oh I wasn't choosing Watson!! I thought he was asking which qb was gonna play savage or Watson, I was just stating who was starting for Houston not who I liked, don't like either but I'd agree right now obviously the ginger.

    I see what you saying last week he locked in on Hopkins and never moved his eyes off him. Luckily for him bungals don't have anyone who can lock Hopkins down so he should be ok just throwing it up to him all night! I'd guess he throws more picks than the ginger tonight.

    Guys. Your going about this all wrong. Punt coverage team is all you need to cap. Specifically the gunners. Capping that leads to a 64.92% correlation to teams covering. It's math guys.
