Guess he ain’t returning anytime soon

Well you know what that means... Time to sign rivers

He literally did not

I hate the pats. I really do. The day the colts finally beat them again I’m gonna be the most annoyingly petty fan I can be. Buuuuuuuuut them winning this week would really do us a solid soooooooo I guess I have no choice. Just don’t expect me to ever say ‘Let’s Go Pa—’ Nope can’t do it.

Yes I hated the conservative play calling, and the garbage non review at the end too, but whatever. The game is over. Let's move on. Let's not act like Houston just won the division. By all means they should have won this game like 8 times out of 10. Colts are banged up and Houston has the better QB, plus road teams are historically awful on the short Thursday night. Houston will probably lose to the Patriots. I trust Reich will come up with a viable game plan to beat Tennessee in 10 days. By then both teams will be 7-5 and the Colts will be ahead with a better division record (albeit the Texans haven't played as many division games). I'm gonna do what I did after the Dolphins loss and just stay off the forum for like 5 days, just to avoid the hot takes . But before I do, I just want to tip my cap off to Watson and Hopkins. I hate them and their stupid team but I respect em. They're quiet good at that Football thing. Congrats Texans. You only beat us when we make questionable 4th down decisions anyways.

lets say we win our next two and Houston loses their next two. We’d be 8-4 and they’d be 6-6. So they’re 2.0 games begin right? Except games behind (if I’m correct) refers to how many wins (or opponent losses, since you said a loss for us lowers Houston’s GB by 0.5) a team needs to gain in order to tie them. It doesn’t explicitly take into account the other tie breakers. So again, let’s say at 8-4 and 6-6 respectively; the colts lose two in a row and Houston wins 2 in a row. That would tie us both at 8-6 but the colts and Texans wouldn’t be tied due to our tie breaker. So you could say the colts are 0.5 games ahead of Houston (since one more Houston win or one more colts loss would be needed to give the Texans the lead). tl;dr none of this matters and it’s all just semantics since the colts are gonna win the division anyways

Respects. I like the Texans team a lot. Obviously as our rivals I love talking trash and beating y'all but Houston has a lot of talented players that are fun to watch and are a classy organization. Certainly y'all are less annoying to me than Jacksonville and Tennessee . Good luck to your team Thursday night.

It’s not just Watson specifically. You guys are incredibly rich with superstar players like Hopkins and Watt and of course Watson making game changing plays. My argument is I think the colts are a deeper and better coached team than the Texans. Houston has better top end players but they can’t handle injuries the way the colts have (hence my comment of they go as far as Watson takes them). So not having watt is gonna be huge. Obviously the colts have struggled without TY but they’ve still found a way to get contributions all across the roster to fill in for all the other injuries that have blitzed this team so far this year.

Except if the colts have the tiebreaker it would be a 2.5 game lead. Houston would be behind us still even if they tied us. That’s where the 0.5 comes in.

Watson has to ball out every week for you guys. Brissett has had game where he didn’t put up impressive numbers and the colts still won.

Top heavy team. They go as far as Watson, Hopkins, and Watt takes em. That’s why Watt’s injury is so huge.

He seems to be solid at creating separation. Has some great speed too. He really stepped up today.

Next two games are against Houston and Titans. Win both, we're 8-4, and 5-0 in the division and 2-0 against HOU and Tenn. Houston has New England right after they play us. If they lose that game too that puts them at 6-6 and 2.5 back of us with just 4 games left. Colts have a huge opportunity to gain a stranglehold on the division. Great win today. I decided to stay off the forum for a week after the Dolphins loss because I ain't gonna lie, some of y'all can become quite insufferable when we lose

Colts training camp: Andrew Luck is throwing to TY Hilton and Devin Funchess Colts in November: Brian Hoyer is throwing to Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal. Football is a brutal sport

Focus on Miami first obviously, but looking ahead, Colts could essentially finish off the jags’ division title hopes with a win. Assuming we beat Miami, a win over Jacksonville puts us at 7-3 and the jags at 4-6 with a 1-3 division record (ours is 3-0).
