Weather is forecast to be brutal in Minnesota this weekend which could make the game more even if players start to get affected by the cold.

Not quite an Ice Bowl but it may feel like -29C with windchill

Cannot wait for the games to start tonight, I think there could be some close games starting with the first one tonight, one of the top O v one of the top D, maybe one for the purists which I think I will call myself

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Well the Chiefs will be reasonably pleased with how this has started.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Brian Hoyer playing a blinder for the Chiefs.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I was sick of the sight of Watt and Mercilus after last weeks beat down, I'm not too sad for the tin horns to be honest.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Surely they should bring Brandon Weeden on for the second half? Not a sentence I ever thought I'd write, to be fair.

 

[hart's shirt]

Shocker of a first half for HOU. 61 yards and 3 interceptions will see this as Hoyer's last game for the Texans.

Dreadful decision-making in the red zone.

It all went wrong from the first kick, but sometimes you've just got to applaud a 106 yard kick off return.

30 minutes to go and get some pride back...

 

[Bladders]

Where's Kev Cadle?

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Where's Kev Cadle?

He's been absent for a few weeks. Not sure why.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Ooof, so close to another interception

It's good that the Texans have got the wild card, the further they go the further they are from drafting themselves a franchise QB. Gives hope to the Jags

 

[Bladders]

Get Matt Lienart in

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Been a lot of talk about the Jags taking Eric Berry in Free Agency, I don't want to say he's exactly what we need, but he's certainly a very large part of what we need.

 

[Bladders]

This could be a shut out

You can relax in the knowledge that we're unlikely to draft a franchise QB prospect for the foreseeable future. We passed up Carr.

If he can put his party lifestyle behind him, Johnny Football knows the state very well from his Texas A&M Heisman days.

I'd make him work out with JJ Watt to sort out his punkish attitude, but there's a genuine QB with a great arm still in there IMHO.

With Watt going off injured they look horribly average. 3 and out coming up.

I really can't see Manziel making it anywhere. What about looking at someone like AJ McCarron?

You can relax in the knowledge that we're unlikely to draft a franchise QB prospect for the foreseeable future. We passed up Carr in Round 2.

If he can put his party lifestyle behind him, Johnny Football knows the state from his Texas A&M Heisman days.

I'd make him room with JJ Watt to sort out his punkish attitude, but there's a genuine QB with a great arm still in there IMHO.

I read he still only wants to go to Dallas, what does he think he's done to deserve that exactly? You're right though, he's a quality QB but desperately needs guidance otherwise he'll go down the Justin Blackmon route.

If it makes you feel better about passing up Carr, we took Blaine Gabbert over none other than JJ Watt in 2011. Whoops.

That's a decent shout. Perhaps we've had enough of former Cleveland QBs for one season!

With Bill OB in charge, we'll probably end up with yet another of Brady's supporting QB cast at the Patriots.

I wouldn't wish Dallas on him! They had their chance to take him, but declined.

He'd naturally be 2nd fiddle to Romo at the Cowboys, but at Houston he could ostensibly be 1st choice.

He's a maverick for sure and it could all go horribly wrong. But we had that earlier this season with Ryan Mallett who Bill O'B knew well from the Patriots.

Time for Manziel to salvage his career and for the Texans to add some unpredictability to the offense.

He'd have a great WR in Hopkins. Crazy idea, but it might just work.

It doesn't make me feel much better, but thanks DFP! We need to wrap up JJ Watt in cotton wool now.

Fair play to the Chiefs - Alex Smith has been excellent today.

Roll on the draft...

We can look forward to another woeful AFC South
