How about those Texans

[indyagent17]

They were cocky all week and put up a goose egg at home. 

 

I sure think a Luck led Colts team at home would have put up a much better game.

 

This just says that the Texans are pretenders and only won the division because we gave it to them 

[krunk]

Pretty much! I knew KC was going to hand it to them.

[AlanNC]

Yes JJ Watt was talking @#$% about our COLTS.

 

[crazycolt1]

It didn't take a rocket scientist to know how this was gonna turn out.

[CantBeStopped]

I have no doubt a healthy luck at home could have beat kc

[colts8718]

They might as well let Watts play QB next year he has tried almost everything else

[Jules]

Won't lie, was hoping for a much better game. I like to see our division rivals at times at least show up in the playoffs if we are not there.

 

 

[NBColtsFanatic]

I was pretty happy they lost.

[coltsfansince65]

That team will go nowhere until they get themselves an NFL caliber QB.

Watt couldn't suck at it any worse than Hoyer did tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a one-way bus ticket to Cleveland waiting for Hoyer when gets out of the shower.

I feel for them a lil.  Gotta be frustrating only making playoffs when Colts starting QB is on IR basically.  Then you are handed division and this happens.  They are close to having a good team tho.

  That said, what the heck happened to JJ Watt.  He was such a likeable, respectful and respectable guy.  Now he looks like the valedictorian of the Richard Sherman school of egotistical sciences.

i usd to like Watt.  Now he act like a donkey butt.

if you're good , you don't need to talk.

[camcolts2621]

I really don't think we have room to talk.... buuuuuut that's just me lol

[Nesjan3]

Yah i rather enjoyed that, they will be pretenders until they get a QB

[corgi]

I mean at least they made it to the playoffs. They looked awful though. That was a terrible performance.

KC would of absolutely killed us too,good thing we weren't playing in place of Houston.

This is the truth.  The teams in our division are horrible.  What does that say about us when we can't win it?

That's what I was thinking as well

[Defjamz26]

Hoyer with the worst playoff performance of all time lol.

[krunk]

Hoyer did not have any playoff experience. I don't think he has ever actually played. He was clearly trying to do too much. Lack of experience.

It says you need your starting QB playing instead of injured so you can win enough games

I believe they don't think they need a qb. They've been in the top 10 picks every year since their expansion. The first year was the only time they chose a qb in the first round. 

 

They get the 1st overall pick in 2013 and they get a defensive player instead of trading down. They probably think they can build a defense like the 1985 Bears, 2000 Ravens or 2002 Bucs. I'm so glad I'm not a Texans fan...

[IndySouthsider]

Fact was the only way Texas can possibly be Division champs is to pray for a serious injury to the Colt QB. They

are a pathetic trash franchise. Ever since the beginning. Nobody remotely takes them serious.

[cmgww]

I also have to wonder "what if?" Had we won that Texans game and gotten Luck back for the playoffs, which is what Irsay said would happen had we done so....I think we give KC a heck of a game. Luck and Chud worked really well together in their one game. Luck might have been rusty, that's my only other issue. But while I wouldn't say we win it, we'd have put up a better fight than HOU did, especially at home. But we didn't take care of business, even with our backup. No excuses 

[Jules]

Crazy thing most don't care now. lol all the talk is on Steelers/Bengals.

 

 

[Moose Of Woe]

They saved us the beating we would have took, although I like to think we'd at least put up 3 with our umpteenth string QB leading the charge. Against KC we'd probably get like 3 more QBs murdered behind our O-line, too.

This trend has been going on every since Manning joined the Colts. All three division foes has been drafting defenses to stop Manning. And then the Texans had the same mindset with Andrew. The Titans and Jags finally figured out they needed to draft a QB to stay competitive in the division. I look for the AFC south to be more balanced in the future than in the past.

well, if it was going to happen, it needed to be this year. They had to take advantage of Lucks injury. Luck will only be better next year now that Hasselbeck has experienced the offense.

 

And the best part is we have a whole offseason to plug in the holes and this will be a very solid team especially if Grigson was able to bring in a great amount of talent in Parry, Anderson, Freeman, etc.

 

If he was able to find a diamond in the rough in Vontae, idk why he hasnt been able to plug in the other side and backups.

Generally, this might be true, but I would stop short of saying that we win the division with Luck at QB this year. 

 

I know that he played hurt, but I don't think his stats/record were any better than our backups when it comes down to it... Hass won 4 in a row at one point and, taking the injuries that #12 had before the kidney into consideration, I don't think Andrew is a lock to win those games... If you take away all of the injuries, it's definitely a different story, though. 

 

No way of knowing, but I do believe the South is ours next year as long as Andrew stays healthy, so, in a way, I agree with the premise of your post.

Not me. Their our rival and I root for them to lose every week. So I just can't do a 180 and cheer for them in playoffs.

Besides, they really didn't even belong there. They barely beat a banged up 40 year old backup qb who couldnt throw it mid-range for the division title.

Like I said, they didn't belong in the playoffs and it showed(38-0).

[BullsColtsFan1]

Turnovers doomed the Texans.  I hope O'brien stays and I hope they go forward with Hoyer and don't pursue another QB, wishful thinking, I know.

We need depth more than anything IMO. The difference in talent level between the starters and the next tier is alarming. When a starter goes down it's a pretty big drop off. We have some nice pieces and as long as Grigson along with Pagano can just hit on their draft picks we should be much improved. It is apparent we need a couple of offensive linemen to start with.

Gosh yea offensive lineman is everything but im just not convinced its just them. I believe its the oline coach too who is unable to adjust them. Weve SEEN them perform in big games like Denver and New England but why not simple games like the Texans?!
