Colts @ Texans Sunday Night Football Game Thread

Recommended Posts

Hi, Colts fans!   :)  Our Indianapolis Colts are in the international spotlight as they are at Southeast Texas to play the defending 2015 AFC South Champions, and currently the AFC South leading Houston Texans,  for the first time in the 2016 NFL regular season, and also in the 29th all-time meeting between the teams.  A win by the Colts tonight would even their record at 3-3 after six games.

 

Colts are appearing in their 24th regular season appearance on Sunday Night Football entering tonight with their 14 wins and 9 losses after 23 games, while the Texans are appearing in their fifth appearance on SNF, entering with a 1-4 record.

 

Indianapolis has still by far the most dominence in a series rivalry over one opponent with the Houston Texans, since the Colts and the Texans began their divisonal rivalry in the AFC South, since the NFL divisonal relignment began in 2002.   Colts defeated the Texans in the first 15 out of 16 games through 2010.  However, the Texans won 4 out of the next 10 regular season games since.

 

Texans  defeated our Colts 16-10 in both teams last meeting played at Lucas Oil Stadium (the building)  back on December 20, 2015.  Indianapolis scored the first 10 points of the game with an 11-yard pass from Matt Hasselbeck to Donte Moncrief,  followed by Adam Vinatieri's  29-yard field goal. However, an 8-yard TD pass from Brandon Weeden to Jaelin Strong, along wth three field goals by Nick Novak from 22. 46, and 32 yards, gave Houston, the 16-10 victory over the Colts.  The Texans win was their first ever regular season win in 13 seasons in Indianapolis, on their way to win their  second AFC South Title.

 

Al Michaels and  and former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Cris Collinsworth are annoouncing the live TV game commentary, along with sideline reporter and interviewer Michele Tafoya, for NBC's Sunday Night Football seen internationally on the NBC Network, including WTHR NBC Channel 13, and in your mobile devices and laptop through the links below this thread, beginning with the Football Night In America Pre Game Show at 7:30PM Eastern Standard Time.

 

Bob Lamey and Jim Sorgi are also announcing the live radio game play-by-play and analysis, along with sideline reporter and interviewer Matt Taylor, simulcast on Colts flagship stations WFNI ESPN SportsRadio 1070AM, WLHK The Hank Country 98.1FM, and the Colts Radio Network.

 

Kevin Kugler and former Green Bay Packer's wide receiver and Pro Football Hall Of Famer James Lofton, are also announcing live on national syndication on the Westwood One Radio Network, including locally in Indianapolis on WIBC  93.1FM and 107.5FM.

 

NRG (New Reliant Group - 'Energy') Stadium's roof should be open for the 8:30PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, because outside the local game forecast in Downtown Houston is a mix of clear and mostly cloudy skies at 82 degrees, feels like 86 degrees, along with 5% humidity, 70% precipitation, and southeastern winds at 10 miles per hour.

 

Visiting Colts are wearing their white helmets, jerseys, and pants with blue trim, while the host Texans wear  their navy blue helmets an jerseys with red and white trim, and white pants.

 

All NFL teams, including both the Colts and Texans, may voluntarily continue to wear authentic pink colored NFL apparel, to continue supporting the NFL's  'A Crucial Campaign' of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

 

NO injuries to both the Colts and Texans as both teams play tonight on NBC's SNF.  Win your third game to even your record at 3-3, Stay Colts Strong, and LET'S GO COLTS!!!!  :)  :coltslogo:    :1colts:   :colts:   :coltslogo:

Ya I'll be in full gear, shoes, shorts, jersey and shirt, hat, gloves, and helmet. I'm sure I'll get some looks.

    does anyone understand 5% humidity but 70% precipitation?

If I understand correctly, 70% is chance of precipitation.  It might not rain, but on 10 days with identical circumstances, it will rain on 7 of them.  Humidity is a measure of moisture in the air.  I'm no weather expert, but the two can coexist with one being high and the other being low

    • Levis is playing on Sunday. He has turned the ball over a lot this year -- 9 times in about 3 and a half games. His turnovers have come at the worst times. Do you think your defense can stop him?   Going back on topic, AR should get better if he stays healthy. He has to learn to protect himself when running, like how Mahomes does.
    • A year and 5 games is a "fair chance" for a 22 year old? Wasn't he drafted last year?
    • Pierce has been better this year so far than last as he is making the catches he did not always make last year. If he continues, I will back off my stance as it would be warranted that I would be wrong about him. The one trick pony is only thrown out as I would like Pierce to open his route tree a little more and become more than just the guy who takes the top off. Hill used to be just that as an example, a deep threat guy, but he honed his entire tree and became elite. Will Pierce ever become Hill, probably not. However, I still would like to see more out of Pierce so his target share command would increase where he would be utilized all over the field.   Time will tell
    • Titans are a poor team.  I expect the Colts will take care of business and get to 3-3.
    • Opposing team average passer rating is a great stat in today's league, because it shows how hard your defense is on opposing QBs, which is an enormous piece of the defensive puzzle.  Colts are 28th at 105.5, which is a terrible average performance to give up.   Also points allowed tends to follow how good your defense is or isn't vs QBs.  Which means, predictably, the Colts are ranked 24th and solidly in that bottom third of the league.   On the plus side is the turnover margin of +.2, which puts them in the top half of the league.  Looking at takeaways, they are T-8th at 1.6 per game.  Of course that means that unfortunately giveaways they are 22nd at -1.4 per.   Translation here is they need to improve in the secondary, few if any will be safe with those types of numbers.  But also being safer with the ball on offense would help too.
