I hope not, it's supposed to be hot in Houston today with a possibility of rain.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Texans without both their LB today.

Looks closed to me

 

[Zoltan]

Henry To’oto’o is not playing 

[2006Coltsbestever]

1. Both - you play to win and play the young guys.

2. Yes - Taylor will get 101.

3. Colts win.

4. Neither - too late to get anyone of impact is why.

 

Thanks for the thread @NFLfan. Colts pull the upset off 24-20.

nice. have fun

both their LBs are out, and missing nico collins. 

 

should be a TE heavy day, and their best threat vs us is out which should help focus on diggs

[HOZER]

Gay drilled everything in warm up to the 40, then went 1/2 attempts from 45 and 50. Something to watch.

[Yoshinator]

I think we win today. No Nico Collins will hurt the Texans and we are healthy. It was close last two games with them. Take away Collins and I think we win.

Thanks again for opening the thread NFLfan.

1. Both - you play to win and play the young guys.

2. No- Taylor will be used in a rotation, I think.

3. Colts win.

4. I said we buy, but I only think that happens if we win today.

 

Go Colts!  All day.  Every day.

Back in Indy!

Blatant block in the back missed already smh

[ADnum1]

Texans rush defense is top 5 in the league so they will be tough to run on.

 

Their pass defense is near the bottom of the league so Colts must pass to win this game

Yes Ma’am look for me wearing my Big Q jersey and Colts hat in a sea of Texans fans lol!!!! I’m sitting 20 rows up Colts end zone right now. Look for a big q jersey and a dark stache!!!!! lol 

[MB-ColtsFan]

Good pressure first play!!

[Dingus McGirt]

Missed tackle

[azcolt]

86 yards passing last week. Should be able to beat that in this quarter.

[MB-ColtsFan]

Colts can just never stop that pass to the flat.  Ugh...

[AKB]

colts tackling/pursuit on short throws really leaves a lot to be desired
