  1. And last year was the one year the Colts weren't a complete team so they went nowhere. I fail to see why the "non-complete team" excuse is okay for you to defend the Texans, but when I use it to defend the Colts it is futile. At the end of the day we still beat you 17 times out of 20.

    You're all twisted up lil' buddy. That's the reason why the Colts weren't good. I agree with you.

    And as for that last comment...lmao:D

  2. So you're aloud to use the excuse of not being a complete team, but when we aren't a complete team that makes us bad? Don't forget youse lost to a team that "isn't good." It must have felt good to finally win in Indianapolis. Oh wait.

    Huh? It's not hard to comprehend what I'm saying. I like your little jab though. It's all you've got. It must have felt good to get 3 wins last year. Oh wait.

    Texans couldn't get anywhere because they weren't a complete team. Last year, they finally were.

    Hall of Fame QBs can make a group a lot better than it really is.

  3. Fact is they haven't played a single game this season so who is better is an opinion, stats or not. It's like preseason strength of schedule reporting, it's never the same at the end of the season. And obnoxious is opposing fans on forums touting their teams unfounded greatness and knocking that forum's team.

    Go back and re-read the thread, and see who started knocking who. If you think I'm gonna sit here and let people talk bad about my team, you're dead wrong. I don't care what forum I'm on. I'm not out to start arguments, I only respond to the people who respond to me.

    And I was obviously talking about the 2011 teams...and since the rosters are the same at this moment, well, the Texans are better than the Colts. And so are a lot of other teams. The Ravens are better than the Texans. So are the Giants. You can't refute these things

  4. No one has ever said we were contenders without Manning. Texans have been "picked" to win the AFC south for years now.

    I'm saying, the team isn't good. It's not a good team when one guy goes down, and THAT happens. Our team hasn't been a complete team until this season.

  5. Until the Texans have consecutive winning years I'll respect them as contenders. They have had just too much hype surrounding them in the past five years you think they would've just had at least one season without flopping in the end. Last season does nothing to dispute that.

    They might respect the Colts again, when they show the ability to withstand one injury that doesn't turn their season into a laughing stock.

  6. Hey man, I feel you guys have a legit team. With a healthy Schaub, Johnson, and possible return of Super Mario, I don't see any way you would be less than a 12 win team. Number 1 running game, number 2 defense, if I'm not mistaken. Add in a little Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels. Take another WR early that can take pressure off Johnson. You're a serious contender.....and I hate having to say that as a Colts fan.

    Well, I feel that way too. If we can stay healthy.

    And let the record show that this all started because I had the gall to suggest that Manning and the Colts could have a winning record next year.

  7. Then this thread is not for you as it is 100% hypothetical. You keep believing the Texans have gotten over the hump and I'll always believe the Colts are better. One wining season may just be a fluke, two could be a coincidental......oh wait, do the Texans have any back to back seasons where they won more games than they lost?

    The hypothetical was what Manning's record would be with the Texans.

    I've already discussed my opinion on if he was back with the Colts next year, so there you go...

    I'd rather base my predictions on variable change and statistical probability, rather than the sort of blind optimism and dogged inflexibility you have to that change.

    It's sad to see that despite the obviousness that some facts provide, people can't admit their team isn't as good as others. That's just obnoxious.

  8. That's a better record vs. winning teams than the Patriots had. Have to take shots like that every chance we get.

    Since Schaub is fragile and his contract could be dumped fairly easily along with the Manning to the Texans rumors that have been mentioned here and there, maybe they should be on the list. A Tennessee backfield paired with Hurricane wideouts would be deadly.

    The reason I put up that stat is because the guy who quoted me made it seem like our "3 or 4" wins against winning teams last year didn't mean anything. By that token, the 2 winning teams the Colts beat in 2010 didn't mean anything either.

    I think someone predicted a Manning-led Texans would go 13-3. But I try not to deal in hypotheticals too much.
