Think the Texans chances are better after loss

[Grams]

We are in a place where we have never been before. 11-2

But we still have to learn what it takes to play with the big boys.

We beat Peyton (luckily it was early in the season), but Rogers and Brady are a different breed of QB that most of the others.

I only hope that Wade is holding something back for the playoffs.

I think this game against Indy will tell up a lot about the team. If we come out and kick some butt like the Raven's game, I think we should be ok.

If we come out with any win over Luck that does not limit his passing TDs to one or less, going into the playoffs confident in our pass rush/pass defense will be the equivalent of wearing the emperor's clothes.

I agree Luck is not as good as everyone is making him out to be. But his team is playoff bound most likely so they are going to be better competition than Jax and Minnesota.
I would really like our secondary to get into the habit of getting INTs again. It's been a while since we have done that and that's what is going to take to win in the playoffs.

If we fail to produce some INTs against Luck who has already mounted 18, it won't fare well for what we can reasonably expect in the playoffs. In college, Luck was scouted as having a quick release with laser accuracy. In the NFL, I have watched him consistently hold the ball too long waiting for plays to develop, and his accuracy has been of someone fighting Parkinson's. This is not even taking into account the almost transparent OL that is supposedly fending for him.

If the Texans come out focused and with a good gameplan then they should win this game against the Colts. They have responded well to posse so far this season.

Not much, we are what we are. Maybe schaub hits his stride or the D acts up. Just don't feel it with this team. I hope they go into beast mode in the playoffs but I have no money on them

You're right. It is what it is. Not a damn thing we can do about it. So let's just enjoy the best season ever in Houston NFL history.
