Yes it is true. Pats beating Houston is what we want.

So for this week I wish the Patriots great health and great luck on both sides of the ball!!!!

Maybe I should get on board rooting for the Pats. Every time I want them to lose, they win. So, maybe if proclaim I want them to win, they'll lose (because that's what I really want).

Call this crazy, but I'd rather see the Pats not win the Superbowl than the Colts winning one, so GO HOUSTON!

I was watching the NE/Philadelphia game at my in laws. Every time something bad happened to NE, I would cheer as if I was watching a Colts' game with a great play by the Colts (I would literally jump up out of my chair and yell). My father in law asked "Do you really hate NE that much"? I said without hesitation, YES!

He does too, he's just not as animated as I am. :)

I have been accused of similar behavior from my family.   :highfive:

"We" are NOT rooting for the Patriots this week. As always, I hope the Patriots crash and burn. The only reason I'd ever see myself rooting for the Patriots would be in an elimination situation, and even then, I'd have to take a long shower afterward, or better yet, just soak in rubbing alcohol. I don't want anything that helps the Patriots.

From a practical standpoint, we don't even need the Patriots to win. The Texans can win out, with the exception of Week 15. So long as the Colts win out, they win the division and they're in. That's all I care about. If I have to root for a Texans loss, it won't be this week.

Beyond that, I actually want the teams in our division to do well.

I refuse.  I dislike the pats more than the texans and will never for the pats just because they face a division rival.  If anything I'll root for anyone in our division to beat the pats so we can price we aren't so soft.  Plus we can beat the jags so it makes no difference.  

 

Go Texans.

Other than the Colts winning the SB in the 2006 Season the most satisfaction I got out of a SB was the very next season when the Giants ended the Pats undefeated season. I had almost the same great feeling.

Sorry Jules, can't get on board with this.:)

Until Lord Luck comes back we need all the help we can get. Hasselbeck might beat the Jags again but the Steelers made him look old and like well......a backup.

I miss my Andrew.

I have to check to see if you were being serious with this post. If yes, that blows my mind. The best day of this year (sports-wise) was Feb. 1 for me and watching Bob, Bill and Brady lift that 4th Lombardi. I still watch that game now. That is how awesome it was. I can never imagine not wanting MY team to win in favor of another team losing. Truly that idea boggles my mind. I was recently discussing with some Pats fans after these last two losses how last year's win takes the hurt out of this season no matter how it goes. Of course I want the Pats to get that 5th ring but this is probably the most contented I have ever been during any season and it is precisely because they got that elusive 4th ring last year.

So it looks like it will be just be you rooting for the Pats. But we will take all the support we can get. :)

I can't recall Brady/Bill B. ever losing 3 in a row. And Houston is like full of Pats rejects they try to turn into magic.

Pats will help us out for the Holiday Season!!!!

Some of these responses are interesting!

I can only speak for myself, but each and every game I root for the result that would most benefit my team moving forward. In this case, you should all want Houston to lose, regardless of the opponent. The Colts haven't exactly been consistently 'good' this year, and it honestly shocks me that most of you don't feel as though a one game buffer going into the final quarter of the season is important.

 

Going into the season, every team has 3 goals...the first of which is WINNING THE DIVISION. These are division opponents and in a tight race, Houston could quite literally be the team to keep you from making the playoffs, and you want them to WIN???? Against a team that no longer has any influence on your playoff hopes and dreams?

Remember the days when we were in the same division as the Patriots? I catch myself still thinking in that regard sometimes. Perhaps that's why there is still the flame that burns between the franchises. So sorry Jules... I just can't lol... the best I can give is a tie. haha

To the Bolded, I say Exactly.  So........as long as we win our Division games, we're good.  What the Colts need to concentrate on first and foremost, is winning their division games.

I probably would. Although it would be tough considering my ENTIRE family roots for the Bengals. 

I look at the Texans the way I look at the Cubs in baseball. I just can't hate 'em lol... I love the underdogs and little guys. Seeing success from them is kinda refreshing to be honest haha

If the Colts somehow manage to lose to the Jags, I might give it a thought. But for now, no way :).

Yeah not sure why he Posted that because I want our teams to do lousy in the Division so it makes it easier on the Colts. I guess from a fan/media standpoint if we have a tough Division and other teams win, it makes the Colts look better but forget about wanting the Texans to do well or the Jags or Titans I say. Winning the Division is the #1 goal because that gets your team in the dance so I still say the Pats beating the Texans is better for us because we don't know when Andrew will be back. So taking care of our business might be tough.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
