Yeah I thought this would be close though I thought the Colts would have put this away a bit earlier. Despite the players the Texans had out, and not having as good of a roster overall, Watson is incredible and makes up for so much. His ability to escape and get it to guys downfield is as good as anyone in the league. Those big plays allow the Texans to be within striking distance.

 

But I was extremely disappointed with Reich's play calling. I'm not on the side of firing Reich but I thought his play calling today warrants criticism. They underutilized Taylor throughout the game. They also went away from TY in the second half. The only points the Colts score in the second half was on a safety.

 

 

Reich deserves criticism so I won't bash for people doing it, I think on the 4th down he just called the wrong play.

I didn't mind go for it but Hines up the middle on 4th and 1 needs to stop.

It would’ve made a lot more sense with Taylor. Hines isn’t a power back to use up the middle for 1 tough yard

Hines up the middle has to stil period.  It doesn’t work.  You want to run him out side in space?  I am all for that.

Crap, Titans have come back, they’re with a score with the ball and 28seconds...

He made the wrong call to go for it and then double downed on it with a terrible play call.

I actually LIKED the decision to go for it late in the game to put the game completely away. What I HATED was the play call. We snapped the ball wayyy too quickly and ran the worst of all worlds. A shotgun run to our smallest back up the middle. That is just disgusting. Go for it, but call a better play Frank

If you call having a heart attack fun than I agree  . I thought Watson was going to score easily at the end to be honest. I was sick for a moment, then the miracle happened 

 

It was Franks way of putting it on the defense & special teams. I think he spoke volumes to his team today. It's refreshing after the Manning/Dungy conservative years

I actually would've did a quick pass to TY or another WR just flooding out. Running Hines had me puzzled.

It was troubling but I didn’t have a problem there

ESPN shows it as a final Cleveland won.

[ScotColt]

Hell yes browns win

[Wyldhorsefan]

Hard to say this (they were my team many years before, I followed the Colts and still my father's team) but beat the Raiders next week.

Ok, radio just now corrected it. Whew

[yankeeclipper]

Need to use Taylor more. He has the hot hand and is a solid north south runner. We get too cute  at times with Hines. This team also  needs to clean up the penalties. Walker had too on good punt retrurns. The holding calls and off side calls on last drive also hurt. We have to be more disciplined and not make bonehead plays. We did that against GB and survived. We did this today nearly paid the price.  We won but we were lucky to escape with a win. LT situation is an issue without AC. Taylor and  TY were heroes on offense. Buckner was huge on defense.

 

I would have kicked FG instead of going for it on 4th and 1. Would have put us up by 7. We got the sack to get back 2 points but we were very close losing this game by 1 if Texans scored at end of game.

Yep, we're tied with Tennessee but they have the tiebreaker on divisional record, 3-1 to our 2-2.

This team isn’t going anywhere with Reich playcalling.  The defense nails him out again. We need AC back. The good is Taylor is really coming along now so that should help form the stretch. For the life of me why are we running Hines up the fur when Taylor was looking so good. Walker penalty in that punt was ridiculous. He didn’t need to hold.

 

What the heck happened to the titans today lol. The jets really are tanking. Anyone see the last play.

Yeah it was pathetic.

 

 

One on one on Ruggs no safeties nack anywhere to be seen.

 

 

They should lose the #1 pick from tanking that obvious.

With JJ on the edge up the middle was a good call “my” issue was with PR in at QB

[Smoke317]

If we let TY walk, Texans will be fools not to take a hard look at him.  I can easily see him getting back to 1k yards with the way Watson extends plays.

Anyone but Taylor as the RB in that situation doesn’t make sense. He had been the workhorse up to that point

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

They would of been smarter to put Jacoby in on that play instead of Hines. Going for it wasn’t a big deal it was the play they ran.

Yeah JB is usually automatic on 4th and 1. I thought he might come in.

I doubt we want him to walk. Hopefully TY sees it the same way

Yep the good news is if the Colts do their job and get a little help from the Packers most likly they can win the division.

Taylor looked good today I agree. He was running with strength and his speed showed today.

The best part is that we’re venting after a win. A lot better to vent after a win

Agree - put Jacoby in and even if you hand it to a RB, it should've been Taylor and he would've gotten that yard, if not taking it in for the score.

Refs trying last minute tom-foolery.

I think it was more Frank Reich’s tom-foolery that was put us in the position to almost lose at the game.

4 safeties for this defense. Four 'freaking' safeties!

Watson is gonna be a problem for a long time.  I think next game we finish more of those potential sacks and win more comfortably next game. 

 

Yeah.  He was a real problem with those zero TD passes and 2 turnovers.

 

As long as they continue having him play hero ball and pay him 40 million per year, Watson and the Texans are going absolutely nowhere and will be causing nobody problems.

Absolutely fantastic, I thought he exercised a lot of patience today also.  135 yards from scrim, 1 TD, 7 ypc, he looked great and through three quarters I felt he only played in a fraction of total snaps.

I’m not on that wagon... yet. But too many more of those dumb play calls and questionable personnel decisions, and regardless of record, we may need to start finding an upgrade

You can tell me grow up but do the same to the trolls and haters then it evens out. I am sure I am older than you so there it is. I am good though, keep at it my true Colts fan. We won and I am happy
