Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 10/8/2015
WMH and/or Arky - Please work your magic on this thread. I just couldn't think of a better place to put this info and it seemed appropriate in the game day thread...

Link says Luck's status for TNF is uncertain, which is definitely different than what was reported this weekend in that they were sitting Luck to give him a week of rest so he could play TNF on a short week.

Our WR group is going to be VERY young come Thursday, assuming they won't be able to pick a guy up off the street to be active for a short weeks game.

Based on players currently rostered, whomever plays QB is moot if this team is down 21-0 barely into the 2nd quarter like they were against the Falcons. This is simply not a high-powered offense.
Shifting away from the QB convo momentarily, the Texans are likely to be missing both Shorts and Washington, which should mean that Strong is active on Thursday. I think this team really needs Strong to step up in a big way, and not just because these others are hurt. The Texans need a big WR who isn't going to be bumped around. For as great a prospect Hop is, and I like his hands a ton, he isn't the kind of receiver who can impose his will on the field. Hop needs a bigger guy like Strong. He kinda had that in Angry Dre last year (that is, when Andre was interested in playing/putting forth effort in his final season with the Texans). Ugh, that was hard to type. Bottom line, I hope Strong emerges from the doghouse and BOB/Godsey get him involved early in the gameplan. I like Mumph ok - he hasn't quite achieved Keyshawn Martin-level disgust from me yet - and Chandler Worthy is not yet worthy of being active, but the team took Strong earlier because he is the bigger, better WR prospect. He is the one the team needs to replace Andre in the offense. For Strong's sake, hopefully he takes over Washington's spot in this game with some authority.

I thought Mumphrey was one of the few bright spots yesterday.... IIRC, he made a difficult catch on 3rd down to get the 1st down and then he caught a pass over the middle and punished the DB that came to tackle him.... I was glad to see that since the Falcon DB's were practically doing the prison thing to our wide receivers and not getting called for it....

Video: Texans vs. Colts preview
Video summary: Luck will probably play, Colts probably favored by about 4, Texans might be good value.... I always find it interesting to hear the objective opinions of non-fans, i.e. outsiders not involved in the media.... ------------------------------------------ Texans win and they are tied for 1st. If the Texans lose this one, it's gonna be a long year... History shows that a team can overcome an early season blowout (Atlanta), turn it around and end up having a good year but I'm not sure the Texans can do this... Take the seemingly talented defense - has the coaching staff turned them into dysfunctional glob of poo? Have they had too much put on their plate or been given too much to process (i.e. KJ at Safety)? I dunno, but the time to get it together would be right now.....

Adam Wexler Retweeted Chester M. Pitts II Luck is the only QB worse than Mallett in passer rating. Mallett: 65.3 (33rd), Luck: 65.1 (34th-last)

This was the same crew that worked the Chiefs game where we similarly screwed on seemingly every call. We aren't a good enough team to win when two teams are against us. Granted, they made a lot of bad plays all on their very own but it seemed every good play was greeted with some ticky tack foul to negate the results, That's why I say if the NFL were serious about punishing the Patriots, all they have to do is assign the same crew that works the Texans games and negates every positive play. Watch every catch by Gronk negated by some holding or hand-to-the-face bs. That'll fix them.

Last year the Texans led the league with 34 takeaways. So far this year they're tied for last place with two. Fewer takeaways means fewer short fields for an offense that needs all the help that it can get.
Not sure to what the big difference should be attributed. From a personnel standpoint, Pickett, Powe, Reed, Mohamed, Swearinger, K. Lewis, and Manning are gone and Wilfork, Covington, Clowney, McKinney, Demps, Moore, and K. Johnson have been added.

Hmmmmm.....
Truth, or cat and mouse? Ed Werder @Edwerderespn 2m2 minutes ago #Colts still expect Andrew Luck to start vs #Texans. Re-signed Josh Johnson because backup Matt Hasselbeck has been sick.

The 2-2 Indianapolis Colts pay a visit to NRG stadium Thursday night to take on the 1-3 Texans in an AFC South matchup. The Colts defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday 16-13 in overtime at home while an injured Andrew Luck sat the bench.
The Texans most recently lost 48-21 to the Atlanta Falcons in a road game. ---------------------------------------------------- TV = CBS/NFLN, 7:25 pm CST, Thursday Announcers = Jim Nantz, Phil Simms The line = pending* *I've seen it Texans by 1 and Colts by 1 in random places. The majority are waiting on Luck's official status... --------------------------------------------------- Sunday viewing in the Houston area: CBS (early) = Buffalo @ Tennessee -- Andrew Catalon, Steve Beuerlein, Steve Tasker FOX (early) = New Orleans @ Philadelphia -- Thom Brennaman, Charles Davis, Tony Siragusa CBS (late) = New England @ Dallas -- Jim Nantz, Phil Simms --------------------------------------------------- Prime time: SNF = San Francisco @ NY Giants, NBC MNF = Pittsburgh @ San Diego, ESPN

Probably our QB being sacked more than last year as well. So takeways and sacks are two big indicators of success or failure.
