Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 10/16/2016
Week 6 finds the 2-3 Indianapolis Colts visiting the Texans on a SNF broadcast. Last week, the Colts defeated the Chicago Bears 29-23 in a home game. On the season, Colts QB Andrew Luck has thrown for 10 TD's with just 3 INT's and has a 95.4 rating. WR T.Y. Hilton is averaging 101.4 yds/gm. RB Frank Gore is on pace for a 1,000 yd rushing season. The Colts would love to take this one as it would vault them into 1st place in the AFC South after being buried just a few short weeks ago.
The 3-2 Texans are coming off a 31-13 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings. QB Brock Osweiler has been less than stellar but if ever there was a time to pad his stats, it should come against the Colt's defense (30th in yds/game, 30th in pts./game). The Texans are 5-23 all time vs. the Colts. The Texans are 3-2 straight up and ATS, the Colts are 2-3 straight up and ATS. ------------------------------------------------------------------ TV = NBC (channel 2 local), 7:30 pm, Oct 16, 2016 Announcers = Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth The line = Texans by 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: CBS (early) = Cincinnati @ New England, Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts FOX (early) = Philadelphia @ Washington, Kenny Albert, John Lynch FOX (late) = Dallas @ Green Bay, Thom Brennaman, Troy Aikman -------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Prime Time: TNF = Denver @ San Diego (CBS; NFLN) MNF = NY Jets @ Arizona (ESPN) |
Great lineup for Sunday before our game. Don't know whether to watch the Cinci vs Pats or the young Philly QB on the early game ?
Last night the SB champs Broncos didn't look so formidable in San Diego so could be the Raiders are the team to beat in the AFC West. |

Mon, Nov 21 @ Oakland 8:30 PM ESPN Sun, Nov 27 vs San Diego 1:00 PM CBS Sun, Dec 4 @ Green Bay 1:00 PM CBS Sat, Dec 24 vs Cincinnati 8:25 PM NFL Those are all going to be (or should be) tough games. We will know a whole lot more about the 2016 Texans after that stretch.... |
Let's keep T.J. Yates on retainer...
|
As for the Colts, we have to be able to shut down Luck's top weapon, T.Y. Hilton. Do that and I feel good. But doing that is also easier said than done.
I want to see Braxton Miller become a weapon again. Get some early completions for Osweiler to gain some confidence and then work Hopkins and Fuller into some deeper passes. |
Will Fuller is apparently scratched with a hamstring injury. Strong and B. Miller will see more snaps in his place.
|
Fuller is active. He's not 100% so we'll see how much he's used as something other than a decoy.
Inactives: Texans QB Brandon Weeden RB Jonathan Grimes TE Stephen Anderson LB/K Brian Peters S Quintin Demps CB Kareem Jackson Colts WR Donte Moncrief WR Devin Street OL Le'Raven Clark OL Jonotthan Harrison DL T.Y. McGill CB Patrick Robinson |

Just my opinion:
Our WR are getting bitch slapped... It is an insult to press man a guy the whole game...and they can't get a step on the guy... Without at least a step or two...Brock is not accurate enough make the tight throw... The book is out on our receivers...none can get open against press coverage...even DHOP |
Now we have Charles James covering their best receiver...

The disgusting reptile of an owner brought BO in so there is no way he's getting benched. I am slowly accepting that BO is a poor football player, but he's not going anywhere, not this year or next.
What still annoys me as much as anything is the team's stupidly IRing Savage last year. But that's the sort of thing that loser organizations do year in and year out. |

Oz throws the pick. Colts take over at the Texan 20. |
Pass behind him...He pretty much threw the pass to the CB...
Some QBs make poor decisions Some QBs hold on to the ball too long Some QBs don't progress through their reads fast enough Then there's BROCK... |
The phantom hold has us throwing from our own end zone, and Osweiller promptly throws the pick.
How dumb do you have to be to pay $18 million a year for a guy to (hopefully) learn how to play QB? This is why I wanted a rookie. We are paying veteran money for a guy who has no veteran qualities. |
Gore for 6. Ball at the Texan 14, 2nd and 4 coming up.
End of the 3rd qtr. ----------------------------------------------- Luck can't find a receiver and runs it all the way in for the TD. Colts 20, Texans 9 14:53 left in the game. |
Clowney got tackled on that Luck TD run but no flag. Hopkins plays patty cake and gets called for holding. Brutal.
|
I love how they keep talking about Davis shutting down Hopkins when every play he's made has been a bad Osweiller throw when Davis was beat.
