Default 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.

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.

Ya, I was looking at the second half of the schedule.... Remove our AFC South opponents and it looks like this:

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....

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
