OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Win the Game, Make the Playoffs (vs. TEXANS, 1/06)

[Dam8610]

Difference in the game was the Texans trusted their best player on their final drive and the Colts took their best player off the field for 4th and 1.

[ChaosTheory]

Difference in QB. Stroud made some crazy throws. Minshew missed several routine throws.

We knew that was the limitation of our season. Let's go, AR.

[Mr. Session]

For all the success this year, it sure feels like it did last year.

Houston is still ahead of us. Jacksonville is still ahead of us.

I think it’s objectively fair to argue that Ballard’s job has to be on the line next year. Steichen needs to prove this year wasn’t a fluke.

If he puts his shoulder down on the second down run, he gets it. But it was a bad pass on 4th, and a drop by a professional RB. Lots of plays to make you say "what if".

If AR can stay healthy and be more accurate than Minshew, this may be the last non-playoff year for quite a while.

He cuts that sweep up the field and gets the first down easily.

That screw job in the browns game is the thing that eats at me

Malik Nabers or Jared Verse initially. Maybe Jayden Daniels?

[Mr. Session]

May the jags and Texans both enjoy divisional or later exits.

Irsay has got to hire some guys that can actually win this division.

Now you're just trolling.

Disappointed but hopeful. Steichen is the man. I'm so glad Frank is gone. I really hope AR can pan out as a top QB. Congratulations and good job to the offensive line coach. Do whatever with Gus. Hire someone better if you fire him.
