BullsColtsFan1 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Whoever wins this game will win 13-10. It will be a defensive battle. The team that comes out on top gets to go to New England, that should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Colt Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 No telling on this game. The Texans defense looks better on paper nd that's about all one can say but if Osweiler screws up he will be banned in Houston. What a shame that Carr got hurt. I was hoping for a game between the Raiders and NE even if it is in NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad72 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The irony is Peyton got his starting QB job back in time for the playoffs last year. This year, Osweiler is getting it back. I would not be shocked if the Texans win this giving him his first playoff win. However, that is as far as he goes, no way the Texans beat the Patriots, not even once in a blue moon.

Cant be the reason they lose or it will be a painful off-season ...So much pressure on him...but what a 'second chance' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Brock actually looked pretty good vs. the Raiders in Mexico. And Houston in that game got jobbed on a few calls and there was some strange laser crap at times pointed at Brock during the game and well not sure who the hell did that........ Raiders defense has often looked pretty bad and Carr is gone. So if Brock is going to "shine" and make his case to be the starter again next year then this is the game he has to deliver in, no excuses.

This is actually the perfect opportunity for Brock to beat Oakland & retain his starting job. Will Houston win the game? Yes, because without Derek Carr, the Raiders are not seen as a viable SB threat to anyone. And that Texans D is for real. Khalil Mack is no Lawrence Taylor; A 1 man wrecking crew all game long at least not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I have a funny feeling Texans will win this game, I'll say 17-16. They have had a season where they have been winning close games and they caught a break with Carr out and avoiding the Chiefs. See this could've been us and IMO we would've steamed rolled the Raiders without them having Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He responded to your comment about being in the playoffs for a second straight year, to which you resoneded by mentioning a totally different team (the Jags) and some game that has nothing to do with the playoffs. That's like mentioning the Colts winning the Super Bowl a decade ago - something the Texans have never come close to achieving. Has nothing to do with the initial comments about the current playoffs, and like your comment it would be pure belly-aching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But speaking of the Super Bowl....maybe the Texans will be able to get hot at the right time this year during the postseason. Pull a New York Giants kind of push.

Pull a New York Giants kind of push. That's entirely possible & not as crazy as some people may think QuizBoy. Conventional wisdom gets thrown out the window in January. Any team left is capable of a magical run with no best of series, but a win or go home structure. That's exactly right man. When the Steelers won on the road in 2005, I never saw that coming either. It's possible. Hades, it's been done before from the Wildcard spot. The precedent has been set. And before anybody says Brock O. isn't good enough to pull it off, remember Brad Johnson in 2002 with the Tampa Bay Bucs? A darn good defense & a QB who did just enough shocked the world.

Look, you can root for or against whatever teams you want of course, but INDY is no position to act superior simply because our once powerhouse dominance has been shaken & we have no horse in this year's race Gabriel. I laugh when some Colt fans pretend like regulars on here are a traitor to their team simply because they congratulate a divisional rival fan. It's comically absurd. Congratulations QuizBoy on your Texans making the playoffs. [A collective gasp is heard.] Excuse me, while I wait for the Spanish Inquisition torture squad to show up & take me away for good now.

southwest1 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I wonder if Raiders WR Michael Crabtree will be distracted for the game since A.Talib broke his gold chain necklace last week? Just joking. Athletes are extremely superstitious though, especially when their squad loses & you get paranoid about losing a familiar security blanket/piece of lucky jewelry. It was an obvious intimidation tactic by the Broncos DB. Was it a dumb thing to do? Yeah, still an odd bit of NFL trivia about this season though under bat crap crazy stuff that Talib does to gain a competitive edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthetic Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It's cracked me up all year long how this forum bashes Brock so much, when he's beat the Colts twice and his team is in the playoffs. Hate him all you want but his team is in the playoffs and he has your number right now. Poetic justice after all the hate he received on these forums.
