Week 18: Texans @ Colts, Sun, 1/8/23, 1:00 PM ET

[NFLfan]

Your Indianapolis Colts finish the regular season playing the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium.

 

 

Both teams have been eliminated from the playoffs. They have lots of questions heading into the offseason but they have this game to play before their season comes to an end.

 

Who wins?

Do you want the Colts to win this game or lose for the potential of getting higher draft picks?

 

Enjoy the game!

Trying to figure out who all needs to win today to help the Colts. HOUSTON, Broncos, Cardinals?

[Moe]

Go Houston

I want to win - I want Sam to show enough to either keep him in the mix as a legitimate backup for next season, or an intriguing trade piece. 

 

Even if we lose, we would still need to trade our way into the top 2 or 3 in order to draft one of the higher rated quarterbacks this year so we might as well win, and end this miserable season on a high note.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts have no starting cornerbacks except Brandon. This should help in losing.

What’s the over under that we exceed 11 pages today? Been trending down week after week 

[RollerColt]

Strange feeling today knowing it’s over. Emotionally I’m elated for Damar and his family. Sometimes miracles really do happen. As for us? I just hope no one else gets seriously hurt.

Side note:

A farewell to DTV (satellite service) for helping us out of state fans with being able to watch the games. 20+ years with them, sheesh. 

 

Go Colts...

[azcolt]

The hapless Colts will surely win today, which will likely mean they will need to spend draft assets to move up and take a qb. Even when they win, they lose, but the biggest loss is having Ballard and Irsay making decisions on that qb.

[HungarianColtsFan]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLTS!

 

I have 0 doubt, that Houston will make huge effort -to loose.

I've got the feeling, that everyone here will be mad after the draft.

As the late great Al Davis used to say...."just lose baby"

Over

[ColtsGermany]

This game will be interesting. Both teams have a legit interest in loosing it

'The losing edge'

[2006Coltsbestever]

It's over after today, big off season coming. We need to get the right QB and coach in here.

And GM

[IinD]

Stadium looks half asleep... Lol. Poor paying fans. 

[JColts72]

What a difference from pre season hype to be division champs.

[Dunk]

Still can't root for a loss  even though it's for the best. 

Would love to see Flowers play well at corner today.

[bluebombers87]

Is it me or is that a pretty empty stadium?

[JColts72]

Texas hopefully scores.

[Wyldhorsefan]

Ok here we go.

Well they are in last place 

[Dunk]

Jinxed the poor kid

[IinD]

We don't even know if Ehlinger can even win an NFL game. Definitely will be interesting today.  Lol

[NFLfan]

Btw, former Colts player N. Hines returns the opening kick for a TD for the Bills. Storybook start after the Hamlin injury.

[IinD]

They might have to go silent count with this crowd.

I think we are the only team that plays off WR's 5 or 6 yards. What a dumb scheme. Cooks already burns us for 33 because the dude was wide open 10 yards down the field to begin with.

Didn’t expect it to be sold out, but from what I could see, that looked pretty bad in the upper decks. It was dark so maybe it’s not as bad.

Just want to point out, he went to the outside.

[JColts72]

Going have to follow team on YouTube next season as no more Sunday Ticket 

[Nesjan3]

Haha I predicted a mediocre season like 8-9 or 7-10. Never thought this game would end up being the toilet bowl between probably the two worst teams in the league

[Wyldhorsefan]

That was easy.

[bluebombers87]

Pep Hamilton!

[JColts72]

Looks like Texans ready for Lovie

[2006Coltsbestever]

That was great pass defense - I went to go get a beer and come back and it is 7-0 already.

[ColtsGermany]

Starts like planned!
