Even if it is close, the NFL media will favor Colts.

That and if our damn WRs can just stay healthy and Watson takes another step in his progression I think we can have one of the top offenses in the league.

I have family in Indy - that isn't an ass you want to get that close too - and since I have family in Indy F*** Ty Hilton, the amount of grief I get because of that guy (and historically put Luck and Manning on the list as well) can we just beat the hell out of Indy for the next several years please. Thanks for listening - message boards are cheaper than a therapist.

Probably because Luck looks like he’s going to be good again, they have one of if not the best olines in the league, their front office seems competent for the first time in ages, we have NEVER been able to stop ty hilton and when we played them at home in a playoff game they handled us pretty easily.
Then from the Texans standpoint there’s a lack of faith in OB and a bunch of ifs. If the OL gets better, If the injury riddled wrs stay healthy, if we find a good corner or two....
Of course none of it means anything right now. Anything can happen and tons of time left but when the last thing you see is a team getting man handled at home in a playoff game to a division rival it kinda makes you think that other team that beat you is better.

I have no idea what the Texans will be like this year, but since OB is still the head coach, I don't see where they'll get any further than they historically have. Maybe they'll win the division again, or not, and make the playoffs and bow out quickly like they normally do.
I don't trust OB to develop a team that wins the SB. I just don't.

The same reason why they were all over the Jaguars ashes. But I would add the Luck factor. They've been very high on him since day one.
My guess is their HC is already better than ours and the Colts understand the basic Football 101 concept of trench warfare. Five seasons of O'Brien and he still can field a decent o-line and his offensive scheme is cloudy, at best. They are going to Carr our QB if they don't pull their collective heads out of their asses.
I'm not kissing Indy ass, but as an NFL fan, I am pragmatic and do not favor the Texans just because they have Houston in the name. Indy wiped their butt with the Texans in the last two games. It was ugly, and I have no reason to believe that they won't do it again until I see something worth hoping for being done by the Texans front office. JMO. Depressing to me.

Doesn't the GM select the draftees? He also at least tried to improve the oline in FA.
He did a pretty decent job of the last draft so there is valid reason for optimism.

Well if their GM hits on two all pros again and spends the cash they have available then texans in trouble. They have a 1st and 2 twos as well dont they. At least we can look at them and see what a competent GM can do quickly. I'm not all in with Gaine but I'm watching. Colts have fewer holes than texans heading into next season. Any texans fan should see them as a long term problem. Jags management really blew it last year. Tennessee seemed to over achieve. Just a rant with a beer in my hand.

According to BOB, the team is Super Bowl winners at practice...

They have 22 free agents plus the three they resigned last I saw so they have holes to deal with in their own camp. You can also call it flexibility, but they could have key attrition. In the end, I agree that Texans need a good offseason to have a chance to repeat as AFC South champ and do anything in the playoffs, but to think the Colts have it all under control already is not true. Always a lot of churn in the off season and they have more than usual. The key OL and QB pieces are in good shape though so they have that
They have the young base for a pretty good defense also. Sure gave Watson fits in the playoffs

And they have a ton of cap room
Not to mention they've figured out how to run the ball & play good defense.
Good QB, good protection, good run game, good defense... pucker up buddy.
No need. He's got an OC to run the offense. A guru running the defense & someone who knows what BO'b is looking for picking talent. & it appears the handicaps have been removed.
Things are changing on Kirby.
Mangler
Toro de España
He has an OC who will not be allowed to call any plays just yet. He’s basically an assistant to the OC/HC (OC in training) and will eventually call plays once O’Brien “feels comfortable.”

Ask the question after FA and the draft.

I'll have to see how all the teams round out at the end of the draft but it looks like given the news that Foles is likely headed to Jacksonville, this AFC South division should be pretty competitive. I hope the Texans FO and coaching staff will be on the same page and it's a really good book they're reading.
