Tsarquise Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Also, sometimes a paper cut can really hurt & bleed deeply too. The Texans are a force to be reckoned with no question JJ! You should join the Texans cheer leading squad. You'll be the ugliest but you would be the best darn cheer leader they have! Jk lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Elvis Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Colts fans should know better (I see that most of you do!), the mark of a good team is when you win the ugly games. You win the games you probably shouldn't. When the Colts were consistently winning 12, 13, 14 games every season not too long ago, didn't they win a few ugly ones too?

coltsfan_nyc Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Not one bit! Their record is 10-1 and they are in our division and we have not even played them yet. We play them at the end of our shedule, TWICE! To me, THIS IS THE TEAM TO BEAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWF Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 No way is Houston overrated. 10-1 is 10-1. Will they get to the SB? Who knows.There's been alot of teams that were the most talented in their conference that didnt make it (2005 Colts, 2010 Pats, 2011 Packers, etc...).

oldunclemark Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Think about it allowing 458 and 525 yards back to back/ a quarterback that is literally begging the opponent to win by throwing overtime picks/ against the better QBs, the defense struggles (Rodgers, Stafford, Manning) and Brady is coming in 2 weeksno way this team is coming close to a sb, patriots are probably going to steam roll them and i wouldnt be surprised if the broncos as well now that they are syncmatt schaub is the worst qb of all the playoff qbs, kinda feel bad for texans fanswhy bring this up today???Ooops.

Yehoodi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The Texans are 11-2 and still in the drivers seat for the #1 seed in the AFC, even tho they do have the tough schedule coming up with three games against winnings teams . .And the Texans may very well make it to the SB and win it . . .The only knock that I have on the Texans is that when it comes to primetime buckle your chin straps games the team tends to perform worse than they do in other games . . . last night's game, the Packers game earlier this season, and the primetime game, i think it was 2010, when the Texans had a chance to beat the colts to take a hold of the division and lost . . .down the road things could very well change, but Texans struggle in games when everyone is watching . . .

Balzer40 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I hate the Texans, but they are a pretty darn good team this yr.. I don't think they'll win the SB, but the Colts have had quite a few really good regular seasons too, just to blow it in the playoffs. I see the Texans as a very similar team to those old Colts teams. just think they are missing something to be a SB team, but they are still one of the best teams in the AFC right now.

gspdx Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It really doesn't matter who has the best record. It matters who is hot at the end of the year and going into the playoffs. The Giants and Steelers have shown that it only matters when you are winning in the playoffs. From that aspect it would be good for the Texans to finish out the year strong. But it sure would be cool to see the Colts win at least one against the Texans.Every team out there this year looks to have holes in the armor. Who knows what will happen, but it should make the playoffs interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sold on them....and last night all that talent was largely neutralized in a crucial game. And they, much like the Falcons and the early playoff editions of our own Manning-led Colts....have no long glorious history of winning big games.They might change that starting this week and finishing out the season...or they may stumble like alot of teams with relatively new found success do.As of right now....I see them as that annual "sexy" pick that people plug into the Super Bowl, but inevitably falls short.

If I were a Texans fan, having him at QB would scare me. I have just never seen that "it" factor in him, although I'm not sure what "it" is, but I just don't see it in him. Another thing against them is their secondary, just not that good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they continue to be able to do that then I think they should be okay.sooner or later a team will come around to win more often that not at Prime Time and/or up against the tough teams . . . the Pats had several years where our team could not win big games, found many ways to lose games . . . but we have won some big ones in the last decade . . . it is just a matter of time . . . the Texans are prime this year to correct this issue . . . they won a playoff game last year with a 3rd string QB, now it is time to improve on this win and try to win two or three . . .

krunk Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 We killed the Dolphins and Jaguars the first time we played, but you are right about us not being able to put away the Jets and Jaguars the second time more easily. I don't care what anyone says but Detroit is a good team (despite their horrid record), they even gave Green Bay trouble last week. I respect your opinion but I think you are wrong about us losing at home in the playoffs. We have a better chance of not making the playoffs than that happening hahaha.Detroit is a good team.

GoPats Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 No, they aren't overrated. Forget about the NE game, that's already ancient history. Teams stumble at times in the regular season, even the great ones. The Patriots had to claw their way past Miami two weeks ago, and the game wasn't sealed until late in the 4th. The same weekend, the Chiefs had a 4th quarter lead before the Broncos finally closed them out."Winning ugly" isn't what we like to see as fans, but it's the hallmark of any great team.

King Colt Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 No because no one is guaranteeing the Texans going all the way. When the SB is mentioned three AFC teams are alwys bunched in as possibles. I hear maybe the best defense, a solid offense and thats about as far as I have heard on the Texans. Right now here in Houston the crowd has been silenced after the whoopin' by the Pats. After Roger and Brady wiped the floor with their defense who would argue that Manning is not going to do the same thing? I believe the coming AFC playoff is another classic battle between the two best QBs in the game. "Better ingredients, better team...Denver Broncos".
