In the regular season.. you want a cookie for those wins? Because thats about all they're worth now. Actually a smart person would realize that success over a 10-15 year period is better than a 3-5 year period. I guess that's why the Texans have been so good for so long right?

And the Colts before Manning were...Great?
okay. Yes, a dynasty has to start somewhere my friend. I think the NFL would give the Texans two cookies, one for winning the division in the regular season, one for winning a playoff game in the post season. Guess how many cookies the Colts would have? Hahahaha. -
He won't need an elite RB or WR to have success like Schaub. Funny, if you remove Romo's name from that little equation about chokes and inablitiy to lead teams to the playoffs, you would think its describing Schaub. Romo actually has won a playoff game and puts up good numbers and as actually made the pro bowl NOT as an 3rd string alternate. You are right about the opposite part though. Luck will actualyl win big games and not choke like Romo and Schaub. Admit your teams faults? You just said that all those players you lost won't affect your team one bit. You're talking about of both sides of your mouth.
I actually have four sides to my mouth. You know...like a normal human being would. I can't even fathom what you have...But anyway back on the subject. I didn't know Luck could throw, catch, rush, and block for the entire offensive unit. So you are saying that he can make guys like Quan Cosby good? Yeah, I don't think so. The chokes could also be applied to the Colts this past season and the near future as well. Romo still sucks, believe it or not. Losing obscure players or players who did not contribute at all to a playoff push is not a fault. You should look up the word in a dictionary.
-
What two teams? You've lost me there. And you can believe Schaub is good, but anyone that has any semblence of a brain will tell you that he is an above average at best QB WHEN HEALTHY.
Pittsburgh and New England. Anyone with a semblance of a brain would not have released Peyton Manning, or not had a back-up plan for him years beforehand.
-
He's not garbage but he's slighly above average at BEST. It's just masked by a passer-friendly system with an elite RB and WR. Luck actually has a decent Oline this year. Having Kerry Collins and Curtis Painter last year will make any line look horrible with their inablitiy to feel and sidestep pressure. Painter and Luck are not similar in the slightest. Luck's a #1 pick, Painter is a 6th rounder garbo QB. More likely than Manning?
, Schaub hasn't even won a playoff game and he's in his 9th season. Schaub is the ugly step sister version of Tony Romo Oh and you mention us losing to Carolina, didn't the Texans lose at home to them?
Guess what. Luck will not have an elite RB or WR this year. He will be getting hit on a consistent basis and, trust me, it will lead to costly interceptions. A scared or bruised rookie quarterback is one thing you do not want to have. And while I find your attraction to Romo slightly bizarre, he is not of the same caliber player that Schaub is. Romo is known for how much he messes up and chokes, and for his inability to lead a very talented team to the playoffs. Luck, however, will be the reverse. He will be the only talented player on an offense that will be sub-par. Yes, we did lose to the Panthers. See how I can admit my team's faults? We have a game like that every year, where we lose to someone we should have dominated.
-
Shoulda woulda coulda is all I'm reading. We have our championship. You don't. Schaub and Yates aren't that good. Having an insane defense and running the ball with a QB who can make plays down the stretch wins you championships. I'm not downplaying what Manning did but the major factors were that improved running game and defense. No, we now have a rookie who's gonna be one of the faces of the future in the league. Like I said, you'll have the division this year and maybe the next but that'll be it. Win what? The division? 1 playoff game then get bounced out by the Steelers or Patriots? Have fun
Two teams who we have beat the last time we played. Schaub is good, I don't give a flying bronco what you say about him. He will beat you again this season, and next season, and next season, and next season....We too have a rookie who may be one of the faces in the league, especially if he stays and plays for us.
-
Too bad your defense won't be playing the 2nd easiest schedule in the league again this year, as you did last year. Here are the offensive rankings of the 10 teams you beat last year:
Ind - 30
Mia - 22
Pit - 12
Ten - 17
Jax - 32
Cle - 29
TB - 21
Jax - 32
Atl - 10
Cin - 20
You beat one....ONE....top 10 offense. And they were at the fringe of the top 10. What happened last year against the one top offensive team you played.....New Orleans? You gave up 40 points and 450+ yards, and that was WITH Mario Williams.....lol
Quit acting like the Houston Texans defense is some established juggernaut. It's not.
So take your one division title that you got handed to you on a silver platter via the perfect storm of Peyton Manning being injured, your joke schedule, and our division being the s h i t t i e s t division in the league consisting of 3 teams that are rebuilding and you......shut your piehole.....and leave.
How about you go back to playing with your Legos buddy. Guess who else lost to NO last year? Plenty of teams. They weren't exactly Browns, who, I know you guys couldn't beat, but we would have dismantled. Oh yeah, by the way, three of the teams on that list went to the playoffs...unlike the Colts. Peyton Manning would have been beaten even if he had been playing, and there is no room to speculate on what could have been. Things happened last year, you sucked, things did not go your way for once, and now the worst division is going to be ours for a very long time now. You are dismissed.
-
When you have a garbage QB, good players can see their production go down. And that's fine and dandy about your injury garbage but if anything, based on history of injuries, Schaub has more of a chance of getting his leg broken than Luck does. We'll see if Schaub can make it a full season. You are insane to think if you think you guys are just going to plug and play with all those players you just lost. You aren't the New York Giants nor the Green Bay Packers, two teams who have had major turnover in players due to Free Agency and injuries yet still win. Funny you reference Lebron James but he, like your boy Matt Schaub chokes in the biggest moments too nor has any rings. You don't have a long term answer at QB either, not with that fraile skeleton of a QB.
Well, thankfully for us, we do not have a garbage quarterback, like you seem to believe, and our offensive players numbers actually go UP rather than down...(cough) Colts. Schaub has an offensive line, unlike Luck, so no, the chance is not greater in any way. Luck likes to run as well, and that may very well prove to be his down fall this season. We lost TWO players on defense who did diddlysquat to get us to our playoff debut. Why don't you understand that? Matt Schaub is going to light it up with passing numbers, Foster will do the same rushing, Andre will do the same receiving, and Luck will just be...Well, he might look similar to how Painter did last year. A deer in headlights. LeBron James is still the best player in the NBA, despite his absence of rings...And you do know that it is more likely that Schaub will have more Super Bowl wins than Manning when they both retire? Blows your mind, doesn't it?
-
You are obilvious, like its insane. The year we won our championship Manning wasn't really the main reason we went on that run. We ran the ball and our defense played out of their minds. And if anything, that's a compliment to just how good Manning is. You wish you could have a QB half as good as that. That's fine, its one bad year when you've guys have had an entire DECADE of losses and no playoff wins. And I'm perfectly fine with that too, none of those teams you said have won a Super Bowl. You guys are the popular of the unpopular of schoolchildren.
Who cares? Had you had, let's say, Curtis Painter as the QB that year, things would have been much different. And I just basically got an admission of how good Schaub and Yates are...running the ball, while at the same time having a lights out defense? We just did that this past season. Interesting. Schaub and about 30 other quarterbacks in the league are not as good as Manning, but that's okay, because Manning is in orange now. You now have a rookie at the helm, who will be abused for years to come. We may be unpopular, but we will still win. I like being the underdog. You, however, are the under-underdog.
-
Just because a player isn't know by a random Texans fan doesnt mean they aren't good. As Superman mentioned, Collie was on pace for about 117 receptions before his injury.
I doubt the part about the practice squad. A broken leg doesn't end a career either genius. I've actually pointed to actual losses on your team that actually hurt your team while you try to downplay them. You'll have the division this year MAYBE if you guys don't find a way to choke it away like all those years you guys did when Manning would come back in the 4th quarter. 0-11 in Indy.Neither does the ignorance of a Colts fan mean that Barwin and Cushing are not GREAT players. And again, I reiterate, Collie had one touchdown last season. Put up all the stats you want, all the catches and YAC, but one touchdown is not going to help your team in any way, and neither is it going to make you a good player. And depending on the severity of the injury, yes, a broken leg could end your career, if not destroy the player you were before. Do you know who Joe Theismann is, or did you only start watching football when Manning started to get good? None of the losses you pointed out has hurt our team in any way. Not a miniscule bit. We will have the division, yes, and we will probably have it next year too. In the words of LeBron James, not six, not seven, not eight...I can almost guarantee you that this year that record in Indianapolis will be changed to 1-11. While your best days may be ahead of you with Luck, our best days are ahead of us as well, both short and long term.
-
Skillset and number of championships are completely different. Teams win championships, not individual players. And if we are playing that game, you guys are the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns of the league. ZERO RINGS. Your last part about Pagano is completely irrlevent. Not to mention that the Ravens offense didn't have a problem putting up more points than the Texans BOTH times they played.
No, I think your team has shown that individual players can indeed win championships...This year is the first year in NFL history that many believed a player who was not playing all season should have gotten the MVP,
. And those same Cleveland Browns did not have a problem putting up more points than you...Nor did the lowly Jaguars, with Blaine Gabbert...nor did the Panthers...lol. -
For one year out of a 9 year career. He's the equivilant of Derek Anderson. The league is a copycat league. TE's are matchup nightmares and although Fleener and Allen will be rookies, the TE position is a position seeing players come right in and have immediate success. Look at Jimmy Graham in New Orleans. Fleener is of the same build as him and Gronkowski and shouldn't have a problem having success immediately. Unfortunately? I didn't realize what kind of mindset your coach has dictates what level of success you have on a paticular side of the ball. I guess the Ravens were doomed on defense in 2000 since Brian Billick was a offensive-minded coach.
If Schaub is the equivalent of Derek Anderson, Manning is the equivalent of Trent Dilfer. Only one ring, my friend. Just one, while Brady has 3. The Ravens were terrible on offense this year and still did pretty good on defense. Guess where Pagano just came from?
-
Right, and wait till the league actually starts testing players for HGH, I can bet your boy Cushing is on that too. Reed, Barwin and Marceilus aren't elite players. No one knows who James Casey is and Owen Daniels can't stay healthy. By week 5 you'll be scratching the practice squad to fill your TE spots. It actually could make or break your super bowl run if Schaub gets pushed extra hard and breaks something. KJ was able to step up because he had two other solid CB's to make that whole secondary better.
No one knows who Donald Brown or Austin Collie is either. The difference is, Casey actually produces, and is a game changer. And our practice squad could probably still beat your starting squad, sadly...It could make your franchise if Luck gets crushed by the aforementioned Cushing or Barwin in the first play of our first game, breaking his leg and ending his career. God forbid anything like that happen, but do you see how petty your argument is? This secondary got better when we added Danieal Manning and moved Glover Quin to the free safety spot. Wade can work wonders with little, but, unfortunately for you, we have much more than little.
-
Luck, Angerer,Wayne
I like it! The coaches might be unwilling to let Luck be a captain though. It would be interesting to see the player's response to it lol.
-
What are you on about? Who here is proclaiming instant success, or that the Colts are going to go right back to winning division titles again?
Maybe you should acknowledge that any arrogance on the part of Colts fans in this thread is in response to your fellow Texans' fan's deliberate prodding.
I can understand your feelings about having a team that finally looks like it has the ability to be a winner. You've had a tough road to hoe as a Texans' fan. I am a Sacramento Kings fan, and I live in SoCal among bratty, arrogant Laker fans. I don't try to come across as if the Colts are entitled to anything, because I don't think they are. I just believe that the decisions the Colts have made are the right ones (outside of the Manning release, which I just have to embrace), and I think that the way the team is set up will benefit them in the long run.
Also, think about it from a Colts' fan point of view: Everyone, EVERYONE, is discounting this team's ability to play at a respectable level. It's been preordained that we're going to be the worst team in the NFL again, mostly because we were the worst team in the NFL last season. It's annoying. Nothing that we've done matters. All anyone ever says is "they didn't draft any corners!" That's what this thread is about, not the Texans, although the guy with the disrespectful avatar insists on making it so.
I am the one deliberately prodding? Your buddy Randal has made the aggressive moves here, I am merely defending myself. And my avatar is not disrespectful it's the truth...Manning is a Bronco now, and he is never coming back.
-
It's insignificant when you make it as a 3rd string alternate. My point obviously went way over your head anyway so I'll let that one slide. Have you not watched the league lately? TE's are the new hybrid WR's. Look at what New England is doing with theirs and look at the Saints and 49ers with their big TE's.
But everybody going is everybody going. Alternate or not, he was the fan's choice of third-best QB that year, and he is, therefore, a Pro Bowler. And just because NE and NO and Houston are doing well as far as TEs go, it does not mean everyone else can immediately copy that success. It takes great talent and coaching and, unfortunately for you, your head coach is defensive-minded. But having Bruce Arians could probably help you guys out there...They are still rookies, no matter how you shape it up.
-
Quit trying to downplay your loses. Brian Cushing can't take steroids anymore. Mario Williams being gone will hurt you guys and DeMeco Ryans was actually a decent LB. You lost Dreesen who played half way decent for you guys when Owen I Cant Stay Healthy Like My QB Daniels went down. You lost pieces on your oline as well. You also lost your first round CB as well, Jason Allen, although he's viewed as a bust anyway.
Well if Cushing can't take steroids anymore, maybe he can have some of your ever-present green. That was really a low blow, but guess what? Cushing still plays like a monster, in both his second and third seasons respectfully, so your little steroid argument is insufficient. There was talk of Williams being replaced as soon as he went down, considering we have Reed, Barwin, and now even Mercilus. The last time I checked, Tight Ends did not play defense. Maybe it would have been better this year if yours had gone in at LB or something, but anyway, I digress. If you want to talk offense, James Casey and Owen Daniels will be more than enough, injuries or not. Kubiak excells when it comes to using the TE, so don't even go there. Yes, Ryans was decent, but his loss will not hurt us. Not one bit. We lost Eric Winston...Wow. That's going to make or break our Super Bowl run this year. We did not draft Jason Allen, and though he was good when KJ was playing horribly, the guy still was not great, and KJ has stepped his game up. Try again, please, I implore you.
-
Its not even about who the back is. It's about the flat out ability of your oline to run block. A good O line can make Jackie Battle look like a pro bowl RB. You also seem to forget that we drafted two TE's of high caliaber, and a number of recievers as well.
No, the Pro Bowl is insignificant, remember? So I can't take your thoughts on that seriously. And Tight Ends are not always guaranteed to be open; They will probably prove to be bad for Luck, as the safeties in this league are going to bait the heck out of him, and we will see a 20+ interception campaign.
-
No not really. Griffin wouldn't of been the #1 overall pick and in the eyes of fans, he would be viewed as the backup/heir apparent in a few years. The league is about perception and people would of viewed Griffin here as somewhat of a learning project behind Peyton. But I would of been for trading the pick anyway. Good luck blowing out teams this year with that skeleton of a defense compared to what you had last year.
! Dude are you kidding me? So I'm the one who knows nothing about Colts football, huh? Well it seems that you know nothing about Texans football. DeMeco Ryans played, yes, but he was not the same player he was pre-injury. He did not have that much of an impact in our defense, like, at all. Mario Williams was gone before the first half of the season was over, and everyone else stepped up. That is why we are the number 2 defense in the league right now lol. This skeleton of a defense is going to tear that line up and get to Luck in both games, Houston and Indianapolis. You are in for a rude awakening, my friend. -
Never. In fact they've never won in Indy. I like that the Texans fans have one year of winning and now are all cocky. Yeah, we've been dominating you for your entire existence, but obviously one playoff appearance means you're the best team EVAR! Try dominating us for the next decade, then we'll talk.
And yes, we are up for the challenge. It was going to happen anyway whether you liked it or not. There is a little thing called karma, and it will be in your face for the next fifteen years. And it won't just be us; It will be Tennessee as well. This division is going to push Luck to his limits and we will see just how good he really is.
-
I don't think we disagree about how important Manning is. We disagree about how extensive his role was.
This conversation isn't about how good he will be surrounded by the weapons we have. It's about whether he'll be better than the quarterbacks we had last season, surrounded by players that are no worse than the ones we had last season. Or do you want to talk about Clark and Addai again? The offense will be better because our quarterback will be better. And I'd say that about at least 20 of the quarterbacks in the NFL.
You don't understand play-action if you think it's completely dependent on the back. And Donald Brown is as good a runner as Addai is at this point. That coupled with your lack of insight with regard to the offensive line lead me to believe that you don't know much about the Colts. And then you again downplay Austin Collie on the basis that he only caught one touchdown pass last season, as if that's the only metric by which you measure a receiver's ability and value. Not to mention the fact that Collie led the NFL in receptions before he got hurt in 2010, and was on pace for 117 catches. But yeah, he hasn't shown anything.
This is about the future, not the past. Play action is not completely dependent on the back, but if you don't have a back who can frighten defenses at least a little bit with the threat of a breakaway, then they will focus their rushers on your rookie quarterback and not on the back at all, regardless of whether or not he gets the ball. And that is another thing about Collie...Yes, he got through this season okay, but if he gets hurt again, then bam, it's all Wayne. And a one-touchdown season performance? People give Tebow flack for his flaws but he had more touchdowns than that, passing and running. Trust me, I know enough about the Colts my friend. We will see who is right about the offensive line when the season begins and they are lining up against Urlacher and Peppers.
-
Being kicked in my boy parts for 3 1/2 hours straight would be better than last year.
Lol come on man nothing is that bad. It's not a good analogy because due to the Colts lack of success this season, they were rewarded with Andrew Luck; Being kicked down there for 3 1/2 hours will only lead to incompetency. You want kids one day, don't you, Ruksak?
-
No, he was not. This is the single most overstated meme of the last five years with regard to the Colts. I think he was more important to the team than any other player I've personally had the privilege of watching, and there's certainly no replacing that. He also covered up a lot of flaws, as evidenced by our dramatic decline last season. And he definitely had more leeway than any other quarterback with regard to playcalling and even the way offensive practice was handled. But he was NOT the coach, or the coordinator. It's simply not true.
There may have been some benefit to having him around, specifically for the other quarterbacks. Perhaps his intimate knowledge of the division helped Orlovsky and got us a couple of wins (although it should be noted that divisional games are always a toss-up, even when one team is clearly better than the other). But that impact didn't go very far when it comes to wins and losses. Bottom line is that he hasn't taken a snap for us since January of 2011, and it showed in the win/loss record.
Yes. Luck will be expected to play better with our offense than the guys we had last year did, and that's more than fair. Even if it's not fair, it's the way it is. This offense is certainly no worse than it was last season, and in several ways, it's expected to be better.
You don't know very much about the Colts line. Even if it's not vastly improved, it won't be worse than it was last year.
What are you talking about? We ran plenty of successful play-action last season. What's going to be worse about our play-action threat this season?
And it's true that we're going to rely on a few rookies at tight end and receiver, but they are going to be expected to produce right away also. You also completely discredit Austin Collie.
As for whether Luck would be better on a better team, of course it would benefit a rookie quarterback to have better weapons around him. That's why it made so much sense for us to draft offensive weapons. However, that has no bearing on whether he'll be better than the quarterbacks we had last season.
I'm not in the business of win/loss predictions. But, as I said earlier, you don't know much about the Colts. On top of that, I don't care what the win/loss record is, this season will be dramatically different from 2011, even if we go 2-14 again.
I guess we will just have to add Manning's importance to our agree to disagree list. And the offense will be expected to be better because...? You drafted Luck, who is not going to count, since this conversation is about how good he will be surrounded by weapons, Fleener, another rookie who will, undoubtedly, be a game changer, and...well, that's all I got for you. Your line is still no good, dude, I'm sorry. Your two best starters are second-year players who will still face challenges against more dominant defenders. Regarding the play action, Addai is gone. Donald Brown is not that phenomenal of a player. I only discredit Collie because he has yet to prove anything to me. If he catches more than one touchdown pass this season, I will become a believer. And who are you to say that I know nothing about the Colts? I have seen plenty of your games, and I know what you as an organization can and cannot do. Literally, the season will be different if you go 2-14 again, with all of the new players/players who were cut, but in the wins and losses margin...Well, I don't even have to say it. -
1.Two tight end sets will be different
2.our defensive formations will vary from play to play unlike last season
3.Game planning will be different (that comes along with the new scheme being different)
While I agree our record wont be significantly different, our team will be and the way we play, whether it works is a seperate issue, I will go as far to say we dont have all the right pieces for it to work, heck as I have said many times we have defensive linemen who have been playing that same position all there life now suddenly standing and playing linebacker sometimes, we still have a ways to go and it will show most likely but none of that accounts for pride....and now the Texans are now the hunted
Mario Williams did the same for us before his injury, being a linebacker/defensive end hybrid in the 3-4. At first I wasn't too keen on the idea, but the creativity opens doors for you. It isn't a bad thing.
-
Sounds fair to me. As to whether or not that would be considered a success? I guess that would be subjective.
, it's definitely better than this past year. One step at a time is the old adage.
okay. Yes, a dynasty has to start somewhere my friend. I think the NFL would give the Texans two cookies, one for winning the division in the regular season, one for winning a playoff game in the post season. Guess how many cookies the Colts would have? Hahahaha.
, Schaub hasn't even won a playoff game and he's in his 9th season. Schaub is the ugly step sister version of Tony Romo 
I guess we will just have to add Manning's importance to our agree to disagree list. And the offense will be expected to be better because...?

Dose any one else have that feeling

I'm showing maturity that is on the same level as your own. Calling NFL quarterbacks garbage and refusing to understand simple facts are not signs of maturity. Schaub will continue to prove on a rising team whereas Romo, if he does not deliver this year, will probably be released or traded. And, once that happens, he will be a back-up. Mario did nothing that Reed couldn't have done himself in those early games.
