Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans. 10/9. 7:25. CBS/NFLN.**Official Gameday Thread**

[amazing80]

leave it to us to make T-Rich look like Emmitt Smith

 

[Hervoyel]

Richardson is a miserable RB and we make him look effective. That just kills me.

 

[legacy_gt]

Cant wait to get clowney back

 

[gafftop]

Without turnovers this defense can't hide behind its mediocrity.

You are correct and kind.

 

[stonewhite]

Wow a stop

 

[nut]

Haven't we learned our lesson with this? I've seen good QBs make bad Olines look good. Problem is Fitz has problems completing even short passes.

Even if WE do get pressure on Luck what happens? He dumps it off for a quick short pass or moves out of the pocket with ease. Fitz is a mess, even if we have the best OLine in the NFL he may be average at best.

I'm no kneejerk fan, but I think I've seen everything I want to see Ftiz. This is about the quickest I've ever given up on a QB. 7 yards for a quarter is embarrassing. There was a game where he had about 25 yards for the half earlier in the year. That's just terrible.

I gave up on him before the season started. He has stunk everywhere he has been.

 

[False Start]

Holy crap! The D held them on third down!

 

[mattieuk]

Richardson is a miserable RB and we make him look effective. That just kills me.

I know! was just thinking "****...I didn't know Richardson was a hot RB again". Then realised he isn't.

 

[HTown2ATX]

 

[DBCooper]

Cushing is just a liability out there now most of the time.

sad thing is he is our best LB

 

[humblegeo]

Don't fair catch on the 5!!

 

[amazing80]

Good job defense. Now lets do something offense. If they play single safety high, we better take a shot downfield. Hopefully Arian can carry us this half.

 

[speedfreek]

That's what I call the "oooooh, something STINK up in here!" face..

Please make an forum smiley out of it.. Might need that later in the year..

 

[False Start]

McNair checking out the chicks.

 

[Vance87]

Vontae Davis has been playing great all year but even he can't stop AJ. Unreal.

 

[amazing80]

bout damn time we go deep. single safety high, throw deep, like i said

 

[nut]

Why does Simms keep sticking up fpr Fitzpatrick?

 

[silvrhand]

Jones and Myers are just butter out there, and everyone else is a hot knife..

 

[False Start]

Holy crap.

 

[Kthx]

terrible play call.

 

[amazing80]

Myers is just bad

 

[amazing80]

another screen, wtf

 

[Hervoyel]

Well, that sucked.

 

[Mr teX]

Obrien has got to go downfield....its so frustrating watching him call all these 3 step drop passes on 3rd and long...

 

[VTexan]

abysmal play call there. i don't care if fitz sucks, you gotta at least try for the first down.

 

[humblegeo]

Pathetic offense!!!

 

[legacy_gt]

Blitz? how about a spread offense and run some slants with our TE?

 

[mattieuk]

terrible play call.

Un-der-statement.

When I accidently pick the wrong play in Madden I burn a timeout just to get out of being committed to a shitty play like that.

 

[False Start]

Go ahead and punt offense in effect.

 

[NYTexansFan]

Why does Simms keep sticking up fpr Fitzpatrick?

Because he understands the game...

 

[infantrycak]

What happened to all that flexibility to audible out of an obvious bad call?

 

[Hervoyel]

another screen, wtf

Genuinely shitty call. Just classic Texans "doing the defense no favors" style offense on display there.

 

[Lady.Gaga.3000]

Remember how Kubiak was known for 3rd and long draws?

BOB looks like his forte is throwing behind the first down stick on third down plays, never taking a shot.

 

[htownfan32]

No wonder the opposing CBs play up close. We never go deep.

 

[Vance87]

Longest punt in Texans history! Yeah!

 

[Mr teX]

Because he understands the game...

and he's a qb

 

[Dishman]

Obrien has got to go downfield....its so frustrating watching him call all these 3 step drop passes on 3rd and long...

He called a 71 yard play downfield. It's all good.

 

[infantrycak]

Bradshaw should be their starter.

 

[gafftop]

Bet they know what play action is.

 

[Hervoyel]

Longest punt in Texans history! Yeah!

I think we have our theme for the 2014 highlight film.

Lechler Dominates!

 

[htownfan32]

Bradshaw should be their starter.

He's outplayed Richardson by far.

Cleveland also robbed them.

 

[WolverineFan]

Did you think Schaub handled the blitz well?

No. The difference is that Fitz is mobile. He can escape pressure and make plays with his feet (we've seen him do this on occasion). Look, I'm not pretending that he's a great option. But I do believe he's our best one.

 

[gafftop]

Need a couple big plays and turnovers.

 

[legacy_gt]

Defense made adjustmen, offense your turn

 

[nut]

We need to show some balls offensively or we are giving up

 

[Mr teX]

At this point you just have to live and die with what Fitzpatrick does....but you have to open it up....

 

[mattieuk]

He's outplayed Richardson by far.

Cleveland also robbed them.

Has done all season.

With the injury concerns for Bradshaw, him and Richardson are a fairly servicable combo.

 

[htownfan32]

I think the reason we sometimes have anemic passing offense is because we don't bother to test the opposing team. Part of that might have to do with Fitz's limitations but that doesn't mean you let the opposing Dbacks sit on routes because we never go deep

 

[False Start]

No. The difference is that Fitz is mobile. He can escape pressure and make plays with his feet (we've seen him do this on occasion). Look, I'm not pretending that he's a great option. But I do believe he's our best one.

That is a sad state of affairs.

 

[humblegeo]

Can the offense move the ball???
