Texans VS Colts....Lets Predict :/

I predict there will be a game and the team that scores the most points wins (score could be adjusted by the refs to skew the outcome).
 
I was telling my son last night that I have a worse feeling about this game than before the Green Bay game. A beat up secondary, zero pass rush without Clowney and an offense that has failed in every category will equal 3 hours of unentertaining football

Loss
 
no defensive backs, no pass rush, time for the offense and ST to step up and win one as well as in game coaching and game management. Hmm, me thinks I wish for a miracle, colts 31, texans 17
 
I predict a loss but McNair will compare Brock to Luck and say we have the same thing. He will count his money and skidleedoo all the way back to Houston waiting for more money to come from the superbowl.
 
This is the end of the season theory imho. The final 4-5 divisional games are a must win. Regardless of money if the passing is mediocre and not getting it done Brock needs to put it all out and run the ball too. No more of this sheltering protection. There is still Savage and Breeden. Brock has been known to be athletically gifted and can run. As with most starting QBs usually they don’t want you to run because of injury and contracts. This is the end of the season and that would be just another new look on the playbook to scramble more. Winning isn’t everthing it’s the only thing. Like the the man said "what do ya have to lose.” Brock give it all up passing and running.

I think like the Raiders game, the San Diego game, & the Packers game our team will be competitive through three qtrs.

The 4th qtr is going to be the difference between winning & losing.
 
The Colts are gonna beat that ass come Sunday. I don't even want to be near a TV or radio for this. That big, goofy bastard QB of ours is going to put another 50% give-or-take, 200 yard nobody-gives-a-damn-because-it-didn't-make-any-difference 1TD/2INT day and the season will start to officially go down the toilet instead of just looking like it's going down the toilet to anyone paying attention.
 
Brock is Brock. Can't blame him. He is what he is. Same with BOB. The person/s to blame are Rick Smith and the McNairs.
Really the McNairs at this point. Give Rick another title and get a real GM. Steal one if you have to.
Unless defense or special teams score not just get turnovers or good returns this team can't generate enough offense to win against an average NFL team.

This one could be ugly. Colts 34 Texans 13
 
Dolts too much
Texans not enough

Brock 2 picks that are returned for more yardage than he throws for on the day
 
Brock throws for less than 100 yards, but throws three TDs, one to Fiedorowicz, one to Griffin, one to Grimes. he doesn't get any credit for them since they were all short passes with mad YAC.

Our defense holds Indy to 250 of offense & 21 points.
 
Lets go for three straight weeks of 13-21. Would losing by the same score 3 games in a row be a NFL record? If you're going to mediocre, give a reason to be memorable. Be a trivia question. Look at what the Browns are doing. They're about to become the second team in NFL history to be winless. That takes dedication and hard work.
 
Lamar Miller was suppose to be the guy..so IF his shoulder is okay, we need to lean on him and whomever we still have at running back. Truly situation of keeping Luck off field...and bang it for three every time we get close to FG range to avoid turn overs.

Brock is not the kind of QB you want to use as a runner. He has done a good job scrambling for 1st downs to extend drives when plays/protection has broken down, but to have him run the option or designed run plays would be a mistake.

At this point, it couldn't be any worse than when he stays in the pocket and throws. I hope he is a runnin' and scramblin' mf-er on sunday.

Got a feelin' the Texans pull out a win:

Texans 24
Colts 21
 
Might as well make it unanimous. Nothing has changed my opinion that the Jackasses will beat us at Lucas Oil stadium.

Colts 27
Texans 20
 
Colts - 44
Texans -17

Blowout folks... sorry

We got insanely lucky against the colts last time. Brock sucks ass, defense is banged up, playing at thier stadium.

Hell I want us to win BUT if we do lose I hope it is by 40 points so pressure will mount for Brock and BOB to get the boot
 
Texans 31
Colts 23

The 2016 AFC South division title is ours!
We'll be 4-0 in the division with two left to play.
And we're going to beat the Jags and Titans.

A perfect 6-0 division record will clinch it for us.
Regardless if we win or lose against the Bengals.

I will have whatever this guy is having... I wish I had your Optimism
 
I predict one of the first two plays is a whopping 2 yd gain off of Sua Filo's massive arse. Lechler is MVP of the game as he downs 4 punts inside the 15 yd line, only to have the Donks drive the length of the field all 4 times for TD's.
Osweiler gets a garbage time TD pass, as per usual, to make the final score 31 - 20.

Oh, almost forgot. O'Brien will challenge at an inopportune time, and completely butcher time management again.

I am commenting to comment that my comments shouldn't be commented.

That said..
We'll probably win and the status quo shall remain just that.
That's not a good thing at this juncture.

I was implying your second sentence but it doen t always have to be 1st down. Of course all the the plays the qb shouldn t run or be planned to run. I was trying to explain with tight coverage and low pass yds more ruuning can also extend passing yards.

Exactly. keep em on their toes. Dont let the other team know that playing conservative qb is the only road to take. Most if not all qb dont run because of injury and investment. In the Texans situation fans are talkin about qb options because of Brocks performance. Well there 2 other qbs and low investment. If it weren t for the 32 mil guarantee 2 yrs would Brock be in there right now ? Who knows.....

I don't like Luck and T.Y attacking this banged up secondary, especially if the front 7 can't get after the most sacked QB in football.

That said, Texan killer T.Y. has been held to less than 4 catches and just 54 yards per in his last 4 games against the Texans. And they've kept him out of the end zone in those 4 games.

The Colts are another defense that gives up a lot of points and in 6 games against defenses that allow 24 or more per game, the Texans offense isn't taking much advantage of it. Just 18.1 PPG.

Things can happen in games where the Texans can win it, turnovers, ST, etc, but like most of the games this season I don't feel confident in them pulling through.

IMO Brock has done a good job lately using his legs to get yards when things have broken down. It is one of the few areas I have seen improvement in his game. I don't want to see a bunch of designed runs for him, but I think some rollout passing plays could be effective. I wouldn't be opposed to a QB draw at a strategic moment.

What I would like to see is more running off tackle and outside that takes advantage of the skillsets of Miller and Hunt. I would also like to see both of these guys run some wheel routes. We have players who can make plays in space and we need to be more creative in getting them the ball in situations where they can do just that.
 
I have seen moments where Brock seems to be finally getting it. Problem is he hasn't been able to string enough of those moments together. End of preseason and first couple of games he looked like he was making real progress and he could be the guy. Since the NE game it has been a tough road. Trying to figure out what happenned, I think the offensive philosophy changed after that game and we stopped being the aggressor on offense. This was compounded by spotting play on the offensive line that totally threw off Bricks timing, mechanics and internal clock. IIRC Brock's throwing in the dirt started with the NE game. Another factor has been QB and receiver inerpretting the coverage differently and not being on the same page. All leads to ineffective offensive play.

If our offense can rediscover the spark they had at the start of the season and Brock can have the degree of accuracy he had then, we can win this game. I remember being impressed with his accuracy and touch on long passes at the time, but Brock has not been that QB since game two. I have no idea what to expect out of this team this weekend and no confidence they can put four quarters of good football together on either side of the ball.

If only the coaching staff could design plays to get them open in space... since the NE game they don't even try any more other than the no huddle second half against the Colts. No more no huddle, no more up tempo no more success

OB is stuck on his way, not interested in what works. Pissed him off that Brock ran "plays he liked" to win the Indy game. He's not letting it happen again
 
All very good points jake n JB I likey. They are so close as to the first games. They have these great tools. Constructing and adjusting them all together as one is close and possible. The Packers game as you say Jake was a very good n close game with all the weather and being away. If they had played the first half like second half they would have won. The coaching is also part of it as you say JB. I actually think imho they can beat the Colts. No turnovers get ahead and play very good 1st n 2cd half. Running the lanes and use more Grimes n Blue rotate with battered good Miller. Defensive is keeping us in there. And yes Brock with setting up open spread wide receivers and slots oh and Feido (great year) w Griffin. Execution folks.....GO TEXANS!!!!

I agree with your take (except maybe the post NE part - I felt like we were more aggressive in the Raiders game and possibly Indy but I mostly agree) but I wanted to single out this part. I really feel like a big part of Brock's inability to string together these moments has to do with BoB not taking advantage of momentum. It's a part of every sport - if a player gets a hot hand, go back to him again and again until the streak plays its course. That's what happened in the Arizona preseason game - our passing game got going and we stuck with it and Brock looked great. We've abandoned the pass when our running game gets going in a few games with some fairly good success, but never the other way around. To be clear, I'm not saying you ever completely abandon the run or pass in any game, but heavily favor one over the other as momentum dictates. We just never favor the pass when it's working and I feel like this is why our offense has struggled like it has.

Seems like anything that is working we tend to abandon this season.
 
I predict more hell than a little bit for Houston. I will smile all the way to the crow I'll eat for dinner if I'm wrong.

Let's flank him out as a receiver then, that is high contact isn't it?..........He could get hurt, couldn't he?.......Yea, let's do that.
 
Brock Osweiler will have his first 300-yard passing game as a Texan: 4 TD passes as well. This is the game we have all been waiting for this season! Soon to be 4-0 in the AFC South. We own this division and that's the bottom line!
