You guys were 15th in the league in rushing. Averaged 3.7 a carry. Hardly stellar but very much so competent.

 

So Hopkins going over 1400 yards doesn't qualify as a star receiver?

Reading is fundamental. I said one true "star" receiver. Double and triple covered and the QBs still found a way to make him a part of the game and made do with the other receivers. We made the right decision letting Andre go. There have been games this year where the running game was either nonexistent or minimal at best. Everyone left Houston for dead after Foster went out early in the season.

Yeah, Chiefs are red hot but they are not scoring a ton so if your D plays well than I think you can win it.

Yep...this is definitely going to be a defensive slugfest.

You can beat the Chiefs for sure.  Vikes beat the Chiefs earlier in the year.

True, I think the Vikings match up better against them though. Bridgewater is good of course but the Vikings also have A.D. to keep the Chiefs defense honest. We both have strong defenses so definitely some similarities there too. For what it's worth the Texans lost the first meeting by only seven, so I think we can get it done too.

I apologize. Your phrasing. Wasn't the clearest. 

 

You still were able to get the ball to other receivers for an additional 2400 yards, so you had other players stepping in.

 

Passing you were ranked 17th.

 

And our rushing game was significantly worse. Likely due to the fact that Hasselbeck wast a long ball threat.

I will congratulate them. They are the worst team in the playoffs. So my hats off too them, that's a hell of a feat for such a sorry team!

So you're saying that it's not just the QBs? That the Texans are just the better team?

Nope. I'm saying that clearly Luck going down impacted the Colts to a greater extent than Hoyer.

We don't have to rely solely on one player to get wins. That isn't the way to attain championships. Also Hasslebeck won a few games in Andy's absence.

Technically you did rely on one player to get your playoff spot. One Andy Luck. I kid.

 

So now it doesn't matter if a team has injuries? They should have the next man up ready to go?

Where did I say injuries don't matter? I've always said that football is a team effort.

Very true but you can't marginalize a player like Luck.

Yep. He's definitely a force to be reckoned with.
