The official Colts-Texans game day thread

[njcoltfan]

Go at it fellow freaks !!

[njcoltfan]

Can someone who is smarter than me with a computer delete this duplice thread ?? Thanks

[IndyNorm]

Maybe I'm still feeling the bad vibes from us dropping a goose egg last week, but I'm not confident at all on this one. I think it could get ugly.........

[Pez]

I think we show up strong here, at least hang with them and perhaps get the win. I would Like to see a Colts team that is pissed off.

You hear players, coaches, the GM talking about the new level of accountability and toughness. Now is really the time for them to eat their own soup. We won five straight and then got embarrassed by a bad team In a must win game.

This is another must win game. It may be too little / too late for the playoffs this year, but we are trying to build a culture where chopping wood is not good enough anymore.

Any team that expects to ever contend for a deep playoff run must win this game.

[omahacolt]

Very generic title.

[Dewey 5]

Maybe I'm still feeling the bad vibes from us dropping a goose egg last week, but I'm not confident at all on this one. I think it could get ugly.........

You're not alone.

[Hoopsdoc]

Maybe I'm still feeling the bad vibes from us dropping a goose egg last week, but I'm not confident at all on this one. I think it could get ugly.........

It will either be a blowout loss or a close loss. I don’t think there’s much of a chance to win.

Houston is rolling right now.

[Hoopsdoc]

Also, go Colts.

[chicagocolt]

Hoping we make an attempt to run the ball this week. Feels like its been awhile since we got much going on the ground. Expecting Luck to be under pressure a lot, that Texans D-line always seem to smack him around.

Feels good to be playing some meaningful games this late in the year again.

[albany ed]

If they can out physical them, they'll win. The team that hits the meanest will win this game. This is no time for finesse, especially on D. They need to pound them, especially Watson.

[JAFF]

The O line will struggle against good D lines while Kelly sits

[Puck]

This will be ugly

[JAFF]

Very generic title.

Njcoltfan, this would be the time to tell omaha, “shut up fag”

[JAFF]

This will be ugly

The score? Yeah I agree. If the team stops playing hard, that would be worse.

[Racehorse]

For the second time this year, the Sunday game is televised in my area. Pumped! Not gonna have to find a stream today!

[omahacolt]

Unfortunately this is yet another loss for the colts

[Maniac]

Hope they can rebound this week.

[DragonTails]

This will be ugly

No it won't. This is a bounce back game.

Colts cover and might win out right.

[Brylok]

I don't have to stream today, and we get Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. Not too shabby

[Maniac]

I don't have to stream today, and we get Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. Not too shabby

Yeah I'm glad I don't have to worry about streaming and having it hang up during the game today.

[Racehorse]

So nice to not know we are running up the middle on the first first down.

[Brylok]

Yeah I'm glad I don't have to worry about streaming and having it hang up during the game today.

I'll be Christmas shopping during the game

[Racehorse]

And then we telegraph a run. Pagano holdover plays need to go away.

[Racehorse]

First drop of the day.

[Brylok]

Ebron with a a terrible drop

[Big Smooth]

Great start dipshits

[Maniac]

WTF Ebron

[nate505]

Fucking drops..

[Maniac]

I'll be Christmas shopping during the game

I appreciate the thought, but you don't have to buy me anything for my birthday.

[Racehorse]

Leonard spying works very well.

[Racehorse]

Idiot block in the back

Never mind, lol

[Maniac]

Penalty on a return that wasn't on us? That's shocking.

[Brylok]

I appreciate the thought, but you don't have to buy me anything for my birthday.

Truly, thou art the son of God

[Racehorse]

I hate that play! No option to pass anywhere, so the defense can swarm the runner.

[Maniac]

They aren't going to get anywhere running to the edge against the Texans

[Maniac]

Truly, thou art the son of God

Most people usually would say son of a bitch.

[Maniac]

2 ugly series in a row to start the game. That's not a good sign.

[GoBigBlue88]

Stop trying to make Joe Haeg a thing, plz.

[daedge]

2 ugly series in a row to start the game. That's not a good sign.

Closing in on five straight ugly quarters from the O.

[DragonTails]

The screen might have worked if it wasn't tipped.

[Racehorse]

Finally, some room and some vision.

[DragonTails]

I'd like to see hines in the game

Dump it off to RB

[Racehorse]

Our run plays are not very good, for some reason. Are we clueless, or trying to set something up for the second half?

[Racehorse]

I think that may stand

[Maniac]

Our run plays are not very good, for some reason. Are we clueless, or trying to set something up for the second half?

They are pretty unimaginative so far on their runs

[GoBigBlue88]

Do these receivers actively try to not catch the ball?! Jesus Christ, they're awful.

[Spike]

Fucking tired of these damn drops.

[Brylok]

Do these receivers actively try to not catch the ball?! Jesus Christ, they're awful.

They try but they're just not good enough

[daedge]

Our O has becoming a stinking turd.

Shut out through almost five quarters now. Can't even move the chains.

[Brylok]

Watson had all day and Adams didn't help

[Spike]

What a shit call that was. Fucking refs.

[DragonTails]

he started that slide before marker

2 yards short MF!

[Maniac]

Our O has becoming a stinking turd.

Shut out through almost five quarters now. Can't even move the chains.

Going against some of the best defenses in the league. We have another one next week.

[Colt Classic]

Spot challenges are rarely overturned, but this one at least stands a chance. He looked short at full speed.

[Racehorse]

He was short by half a yard or more.

[WaynesWorld87]

Oh look, a team that can actually convert 4th and short.

Fuck this game. It's going to get ugly soon. That overturned completion was the beginning of your end for us.

[DragonTails]

Our DL is being tackled. I guess that's not holding.

[Maniac]

Someone may want to actually cover Hopkins.

[DragonTails]

Oh look, a team that can actually convert 4th and short.

Fuck this game. It's going to get ugly soon. That overturned completion was the beginning of your end for us.

We're winning this one

[Racehorse]

Getting screwed today

[Colt Classic]

Fuck that shit. INT and a penalty for it. Fuck off.

[daedge]

What a crock of fucken shit.

[Spike]

Refs fucked the Colts again.

[Dewey 5]

If a ref were to literally die on the field I would celebrate it.

[daedge]

I mean, I give up. That's as soft as it gets.

[Maniac]

Fuck these refs

[Racehorse]

No way you get a penalty when you pick the ball. Hooker had no chance.

[Dewey 5]

Game. With our newly acquired endzone allergy, this game is over.

[Colt Classic]

So you're supposed to concede the catch if the receiver dives. Nice rules.

[Maniac]

There you go refs, you got what you wanted, you fucking assholes.

[Spike]

NFL has gone to hell with all these bullshit calls. Hard to watch anymore.

[Brylok]

Can't beat the Texans and the refs

[DragonTails]

Getting screwed today
That was some serious BS PFs on that drive not to mention holding.

[Big Smooth]

This league is a joke. I'm about at the end of my patience with it

[HoosierinFL]

Both personal foul calls were absolute horseshit

[nate505]

Worthless ref literally called the foul on the sound of the hit. Idiot.

[Racehorse]

Another bad flag

[daedge]

I'll pay for our O to actually move the chains. This is incredibly painful stuff.

[Racehorse]

And they did not call the illegal block on the return.

[Maniac]

Mack was wide open and Luck forced it to Ebron instead.

[Brylok]

This might get ugly...

[Racehorse]

This might get ugly...

Not totally our fault. However, you may be right.

[Indiana V2]

These officials...

[Butter]

Not totally our fault. However, you may be right.

Still mostly

[Dewey 5]

This might get ugly...

Very fast. Texans are the better team talent wise so I'm not going to get to upset with the jail sexing that's about to happen.

[Racehorse]

Maybe Reich is not as creative as we thought, putting Haeg in all the time.

[daedge]

Maybe Reich is not as creative as we thought, putting Haeg in all the time.

I think the reality is the Colts are who we thought they were early in the season - not very good at all.

[njcoltfan]

Have the Colts gotten a first down yet?

[Racehorse]

What does Haeg bring that Swoope does not?

Asking for a friend.

[Dewey 5]

Maybe Reich is not as creative as we thought, putting Haeg in all the time.

Bill Walsh couldn't be creative with our lack of offensive weapons.

[Indiana V2]

Just once I would love for Reich to go off on these freaking officials.

[Puck]

Just once I would love for Reich to go off on these freaking officials.

He did

[Racehorse]

Have the Colts gotten a first down yet?

Nope

[Dewey 5]

He did

Yep.He got in one refs ass after the TD.

[daedge]

Have the Colts gotten a first down yet?

Nope.

[Maniac]

As good of a rhythm as Reich was in previously as a play caller, he's out of that rhythm worse lately.

[Dewey 5]

Wow, a first down!

[Maniac]

They already know we're going to do some quick, short play on 1st down. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT

[DragonTails]

Maybe Reich is not as creative as we thought, putting Haeg in all the time.

We're playing scared. Open the shit up.

Hey look hines for a first down. Maybe I should call plays

[nate505]

Ugh.....fuck This game

[Racehorse]

No PI on the INT?????

[daedge]

We're going to get shut out again, aren't we?

[Brylok]

Yet another interception that wasn't Luck's fault. smh

[Blankhorizon]

man fuck these receivers

[Maniac]

Ugh

[Indiana V2]

Eff these receivers, and eff Ballard for not doing anything about it, such trash.

[Dewey 5]

No PI on the INT?????

Exactly. Ebron should have caught it but that was PI in today's world.

[HoosierinFL]

This game is gonna piss me off

[Racehorse]

This game is gonna piss me off

Gonna? Already is

[Racehorse]

That was an awful block in the back! Moron!

[Colt Classic]

This fucking moron with a block in the back right at midfield.

[Brylok]

Ah, there's our return penalty

[nate505]

I really don't understand the idiot who made that block in the back. It was ridiculously obvious.

[Indiana V2]

Odom should be named Ohdumb, because he is.

[daedge]

Have to feel sorry for the D the past two weeks. They keep making plays, yet the O can't do a damn thing.

[HoosierinFL]

Another complete horseshit call. I cant remember the last time we got fucked this hard by the officials.

[chicagocolt]

Defense has played well, receivers really need to start getting some separation or this will be another long game.

[Racehorse]

Yessss tytyty

[Brylok]

Ty ty ty

[Colt Classic]

That's how you answer this nonsense.

[Brylok]

There must be a filter that doesn't allow capital letters or something. That needs to be removed

[Maniac]

They already know we're going to do some quick, short play on 1st down. DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Finally!

[daedge]

Points!!! I don't believe it.

[Thorgrim]

With some decent play calling we can have success.

[Luck4Reich]

We only needed one of those last week.:cool:

[Racehorse]

what?

I posted TYTYTY in all caps. See what it did?

[Racehorse]

Rogers almost got himself on the bench there.

[Racehorse]

There we go!

[Racehorse]

The announcers saw that we do better without Haeg. Hope Frank see it, too. Pagano would stick with it forever.

[Maniac]

They even mentioned taking out Haeg. haha

[Brylok]

Pascal trying to make up for his int

[Racehorse]

The edge just isn't there

[Brylok]

Ebron!

[Colt Classic]

Good catch & awareness to get in by Ebron--and that's the most all-time by a Colts TE. Congrats, big man.

[Indiana V2]

Good to see the offense rolling again.

[Racehorse]

Ebron is the best Red Zone TE in the league

[Maniac]

TD Ebron!

[Luck4Reich]

So this offense can score.:)

[Racehorse]

Good to see the offense rolling again.

No Haeg.

[Maniac]

Offense stopped playing scared with little 2 yard passes and opened it up.

[Thorgrim]

It would be nice to get a stop and be maybe get up 17-7 at the half.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Excellent situational awareness by Ebron ........ in addition to getting down to the ground to catch a ball that was thrown low by Andrew Luck, he then rolled over towards the goal line, knowing that it was near.

First and foremost, catch the ball ........ secondly, know where you are on the field (near the first down sticks, near the sidelines, near the goal line, etc.)

o

[Colt Classic]

OOH Lawd Autry.

[Racehorse]

Autry says Happy trails to Watson

[daedge]

Any word on what's wrong with Mark Glowinski ?

[nate505]

Autry is a beast today

[Brylok]

Autry having a game so far. Sack

[Maniac]

Yeah, keep not blocking Autry please.

[Thorgrim]

o

o

Maybe pay him to coach the other receivers?

[Racehorse]

Any word on what's wrong with Mark Glowinski ?

No, but he walked off. Looked like a slight limp with left knee?

[Colt Classic]

Plenty of time and didn't waste time outs.

[Indiana V2]

Another drop.

[Brylok]

Catch. The. Damn. Ball.

[Colt Classic]

43 got there early, but he doesn't have to worry since there will be no call on that.

[Indiana V2]

Eff these officials...

[Maniac]

I think it's clear WR and RB need upgraded on offense.

[DragonTails]

kick it now

[Maniac]

Adam V with the Santa starter beard growing.

[Colt Classic]

Boom roasted.

[Thorgrim]

Just what the doctor ordered.

[Brylok]

AV! Good from 54 and rocking an awesome grey beard. Looks like Father Time or something

[chicagocolt]

Vinny has had a couple lumps this year but man, he looked ageless on that kick.

[Racehorse]

It would be nice to get a stop and be maybe get up 17-7 at the half.

As you wish!

[Maniac]

Great job Adam.

[Indiana V2]

Way to respond after the poor start. Keep it going in the second half.

[Luck4Reich]

Did MikeTexicant go away already?

[Colts And Orioles]

Way to respond after the poor start. Keep it going in the second half.




o

Way to make the Texans pay for using that timeout on defense, when the Colts were deep in their own territory.

o

[Luck4Reich]

Autry showing up in sack column again

[Racehorse]

Autry showing up in sack column again

The defense has looked solid, outside of that one drive

[Dewey 5]

Got one more half. Play a complete football game with urgency.

[GoBigBlue88]

This officiating has fucking sucked today.

[Maniac]

Make a great play, then give up a big play.

[Dewey 5]

We give up more long down & distance plays than I've ever seen

[Brylok]

This officiating has fucking sucked today.

That seems to be a weekly theme this year. League wide

[Maniac]

So is that 7 sacks for Leonard?

[Dewey 5]

That is not a TD

[Chromeburn]

3rd and 19. How do you give that up. Then I saw guys dodging around blocks instead of taking them on to close lanes.

[Chromeburn]

This officiating has fucking sucked today.

Good officials are hard to find. But if they are really bad they are let go. They get graded after every game and every snap they see is evaluated.

[Dewey 5]

3rd and 19. How do you give that up. Then I saw guys dodging around blocks instead of taking them on to close lanes.

2nd & 19

[WaynesWorld87]

The Texans have converted a 4th and 1 around the opponent's 20ish yard line and a 4th and goal from the 1 yard line. We failed at both of those things last week.

[Dewey 5]

Lets see if we can answer back

[Dewey 5]

Wait, Ryan Grant caught the ball?

[Chromeburn]

Mack is having a good game. Tough runs. That TD run was a very good run.

[Brylok]

Gay Gay Twat...smh

[Dewey 5]

Nice TY

[Brylok]

Pascal! TD!

[Maniac]

Hilton is a silent assassin

[Colt Classic]

Pascal sold that move well.

[Dewey 5]

Just like that. Gonna need that offense the rest of the way.

[TheMugwump]

Looks like that 5 quarter long slump has been busted.

Offense seems to have rhythm again.

[Thorgrim]

Bout time we force a damn turnover.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


EAT SHIT, TEXANS FANS !!!

o

[Brylok]

Bout time we force a damn turnover.

Had one earlier but got robbed

[Racehorse]

Another great defensive play negated by the zebras

[Colt Classic]

I'm done with 90 for today.

[Dewey 5]

Screwed yet again

[Brylok]

Another great defensive play negated by the zebras

No replay either. Hmm...

[Maniac]

Looks like that 5 quarter long slump has been busted.

Offense seems to have rhythm again.

They stopped the dink and dunk bullshit. It's fine now and then, but we were doing it far too much.

[FatDT]

Get Stewart out of there. Idiot.

[TheMugwump]

They stopped the dink and dunk bullshit. It's fine now and then, but we were doing it far too much.

Part of Reich's learning curve as the HC. This is his learning year.

Next year should be something else entirely.

[Maniac]

Part of Reich's learning curve as the HC. This is his learning year.

Next year should be something else entirely.

Yeah. He's still 10000x better than we have had, and he actually recognizes his mistakes and learns from them.

[Dewey 5]

They stopped the dink and dunk bullshit. It's fine now and then, but we were doing it far too much.

I think part of it is the concern of the Texans pass rush.

[Chromeburn]

Part of Reich's learning curve as the HC. This is his learning year.

Next year should be something else entirely.

Takes a little longer than that

[TheMugwump]

Takes a little longer than that

Weren't we told that coaching doesn't matter?

[Dewey 5]

Yeah. He's still 10000x better than we have had, and he actually recognizes his mistakes and learns from them.

And I've said it 10000x. I'm so glad McDickhead went back to the cheats. Huge break for us.

[Puck]

Geathers is having a good game

[Dewey 5]

Geathers having a ballgame

[Chromeburn]

I think part of it is the concern of the Texans pass rush.

Done a good job taking away their strength, lots of max protect though. Partly why Luck didn't have guys open in the first half and held the ball longer than I'd like. Seems to have found a balance now though.

[Dewey 5]

Lets get another score.

[Chromeburn]

Weren't we told that coaching doesn't matter?

Heh, if people believed that I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

[FatDT]

Watch for the fake.

[Puck]

Obrien pissed about the Colts declining penalty.... Good move by Frank... hopefully running then clock down will haunt them at the end of the game.

[Chromeburn]

Yeah. He's still 10000x better than we have had, and he actually recognizes his mistakes and learns from them.

I like the coordinators also. We could use more talent on D and an upgrade in offensive weapons. But they are making it work with what they have and playing to players strengths.

[Brylok]

Ty ty

[Maniac]

I like the coordinators also. We could use more talent on D and an upgrade in offensive weapons. But they are making it work with what they have and playing to players strengths.

Absolutely. If they can do this with what they have now, I can't wait to see what they can do as they get more playmakers during this rebuild.

[TheMugwump]

Hilton having a game today. Great to see.

[Brylok]

Stupid filter...

[Colt Classic]

Just decorate LOS like this stadium and see if that helps TY have big games all the time. Give him a schedule that says "@ HOU" for every game.

[TheMugwump]

Absolutely. If they can do this with what they have now, I can't wait to see what they can do as they get more playmakers during this rebuild.

You beat me to it. I feel the same.

That said, They have a nice young base to work with. It's not all shit.

[Luck4Reich]

When we are running ball well in games we go away from it... when we cant run we force it..makes sense.

[Chromeburn]

Castonzo crushed a guy on that Rodgers screen.

[Maniac]

It looked like Mack got lost there. Not sure if he was supposed to pick up a defender, or slip out for a route, but he just got jumbled up.

[chicagocolt]

Need one last stand from the D. Hopefully the zebras don't fuck us on this drive.

[Racehorse]

Desir is sort of underrated.

[chicagocolt]

Desir is sort of underrated.

Our secondary has played very well today.

[Colt Classic]

I'm surprised Gannon actually called out Watson for not seeing these blitzes. Usually announcers like to protect young hype QB's by only deflecting obvious flaws in their game.

[Chromeburn]

Perfect coverage and timing by Desir

[TheMugwump]

A 6:41 drive would be sweet.

[FatDT]

That should be ballgame. The play calling should be interesting here.

[Racehorse]

That should be ballgame. The play calling should be interesting here.

Need a long TD drive here, with Luck getting his third TD pass.

[1965southpaw]

A 6:41 scoring drive would be sweet.


Fixed it for ya

[Brylok]

TY owns NRG Stadium

[Racehorse]

TY is incredible today

[Maniac]

Damn TY.... What a catch

[Racehorse]

Need a long TD drive here, with Luck getting his third TD pass.

and it goes to TY

[FatDT]

Hilton is so much fun to watch today.

[Chromeburn]

That is aggressive play calling! Pags and Chud would have run 3x in a row.

[Maniac]

Reich should have some giant sized balls and do a flea flicker since they are selling out on the run.

[Racehorse]

TY interfered with on that pass, but no call.

[Chromeburn]

TY interfered with on that pass, but no call.

That only goes one way today. That hit by hooker in the 1st half was such BS.

[Colts And Orioles]

o

That particular amendment to the rules really pisses me off.

If there's a holding penalty, make the team make a decision ........ either accept the 10-yard penalty and replay the down, or decline the penalty.


This shit where they simply tack on 10 yards at the end of the play removes the responsibility of the team/head coach of having to make a decision.

o

[Maniac]

Yes, boo your own team Texans fans

[Brylok]

Stop giving up huge plays, dickheads

[chicagocolt]

What a bad blitz that was. Just sit in prevent and let them milk clock.

[Spike]

Leonard is a fucking beast.

[Brylok]

Here comes more zebra help...

[Maniac]

Who missed that tackle on the big play? Hooker?

[Spike]

Hard to beat the Texans and the Refs.

[Maniac]

Here comes more zebra help...

Wilson definitely fucked up there.

[Chromeburn]

Who missed that tackle on the big play? Hooker?

Yeah
