Pats fan perspective having played both teams.
It comes down to their run defense and your passing defense. The unit that steps up wins. The Colts are very porous against the run and you should be able to wear them down. Shaub is much more effective when he's throwing play action when the running game is clicking. While your team is dramatically more talented it's a QB driven league. While Luck is no Brady or Rogers at this point he might be as good as Stafford, who IMO wouldn't be good at all without CJ, and Stafford had a big day against your defense. Luck will eventually be much better than Stafford but for now I think it's a valid comp. I also think the first quarter is clutch for both teams. If the Texans come out mad and run the ball down their throats I think they'll roll. If Indy can survive that onslaught watch out for another comeback and close game win. All that said Texans 31-21. |

Yeah, yeah, fine. You guys just relax and lay an egg against the 49ers Sunday. You don't need that win anyway.

It shouldn't matter what they do. We should win out, it's ours to take or give away.

Texans destroy the Colts.
3 touchdown lead by the half and no turtle mode in the 2nd half. 42-0 Texans. |

The only way we get a blowout like that if our defense and special teams help us out. If they don't it's 7-0 Texans. The offense go on autopilot with a lead every time.

After the thread that I just read about Kubiak "calling out players manhood", I have two predictions:
A) Pain! Signed, Clubber Lang B) Way too much to not nearly enough. Texans!

Sometimes, well, often times, when the signal is too strong, it bounced the other way. But there's no harm in "trusting" your emotion regarding your football team. As long as we know the outcome might be contradicting, I like it much better going into the game with full of hope. When the situation turns dire, we realize that it's just a regular season game. No biggie. The play-offs are different though, because anybody can win on game day. |

I believe the Texans have the resolve & the talent now, to not allow themselves to lose two in a row. Don't get me wrong, good teams have & will lose two in a row. But after watching New England & knowing where they want to go I think they know that they've got to be better than a "good team"

But were you surprised when the Pats took the Texans to the woodshed Monday night and beat the "innegan" out of them ? Just remember, by definition a surprise is when something unexpected happens, so brace yourself for this Sunday in Reliant.

I really didn't think the Texans would win in new England last week. Guess the reason I wasn't mad or anything. I don't know why. However I do expect them to sweep the colts. I have no idea how that team is winning with that crappy of a defense.
With that said. I jinxed the Texans
