Official Wild Card Playoff Round - Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 1/5/2019

[Arky]

Texans put a drive together and get to the red zone but decided to pass into the end zone on 4th and 1. Pass was off the mark and incomplete.

Halftime score:

Colts 21, Texans 0

[Big Texas]

Typical Texans mentality...

Now score 3 pointless TDs in the 2nd half and lose 49-21

[Arky]

Not much of a 3rd qtr although the defense did show up and kept the Colts scoreless. Offense still looking inept.

On to the 4th qtr.....

Colts 21, Texans 0

[Arky]

Check down to Coutee goes for the TD but he might've fumbled reaching.....

Play is under review.....

Play stands! 6 yards to Coutee.

Colts 21, Texans 7

10:57 left in the game.

[Arky]

Well, dang, I was ready for the team to go to New England and make Tom Brady look like a 25 year old again. Instead, they make the Colts look like a powerhouse. Probably the worst game of the year by the Texans.....

Final score:

Colts 21, Texans 7

------------------------------------------------

Colts 9/14 on 3rd downs was a killer. Texans only 3/13.

No sacks on Luck.

Colts penalized just twice for 10 yards. Texans 8 times for 67.

Colts started the game ready to play. Texans looked the opposite.

Not Watson's best game although he had pressure quite a bit. Got a feeling he'll learn from it and grow from it...

Watson had an amazing year and was heroic for a short stretch of the 4th quarter, but that was also one of the worst games he's ever played for us. He has never been that inaccurate. I feel awful for a guy who carried a mediocre team to 11 wins to go out like that, but I agree that he'll probably learn from it and have some truly special playoff days ahead.

[chuck]

Playoff experience is invaluable. I imagine we'll see some uncharacteristic mistakes from Mahomes, too.

OK Arky, that says it all except that the game was not nearly that close, more like 42-0 but who saw that coming because I sure didn't as I thought we'd have close game right down to the wire.
