Week 1: Texans vs Colts Gameday Thread

[JCTexan]

Well it was closer than I would like, but a win is a win.

Divisional win on the road at that.

 

[wildroot]

So, do you think Diggs is happy with his targets? He got two TD catches anyway.

 

[welsh texan]

Titans and Jags both losing as well!! Great opening weekend.

 

[Texazan]

What a game but what a ******* beast Mixon is! More of that please!

 

[DocBar]

Honestly the Colts had all those few big plays and without that they were mostly nothing. I'm not too scared of them going forward. Not a bad team at all but they can't be reliant on big plays all the time to be competitive.

But they did make those big plays (did the same thing last season) and were 2 points behind on the scoreboard. If AR ever puts it all together, he's scary AF,

I expected it to be close.... but I didn't expect to be AS concerned when AR went deep

 

[austins23]

Those Colts are hurting .... but they shouldn't be hanging their heads .... HELLUVA GAME !!!!!

I hope they lose every game this year! They ain’t that good! Two Hail Mary throws is all they did today

 

[thunderkyss]

F the Colts!!!!

last two games against these guys... Way too close. I hope we get all these things we need to straighten up, straightened up before we see them again in October.

But I wouldn't have it any other way, iron sharpens iron baby.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

geico play of the day for the LOSER colts?



mmm kay

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Man what a game! End of the year they don’t award extra wins to the team that won a certain way. This was a division win on the road against the biggest threat in division.

I’ll take it any way we can get it! And most importantly, it didn’t look like anyone got seriously injured in the win!

Of course. But they're gonna need sustained performance not just the biggies.

 

[Hoegarden]

Great win. Offense really bailed out very lousy secondary play by us. Ward and Pitre going to be a liability all year.

 

[Marcus]

I would like to add my imput.

And that would be …. F-CK YEAH!

 

[Carr Bombed]

Lol, Jags lost on a last second FG

 

[KA4Texan]

Lol, Jags lost on a last second FG

Such a shame.

 

[Texazan]

I still have to give them credit for putting us at two and able to take Stroud over the train wreck that is Young…..

 

[mws]

Man it was nice to be able to close the game out running the ball. It's been years since we could do that. What a way to start the season.

 

[Wolf]

Colts 11 straight seasoning opening loses

TEXANS 10 straight road wins against AFC south(hear that right?)

 

[DocBar]

Maybe Ryans should put shock collars on the OL and zap them every time they get a false start.

 

[sometexansfan]

Great win, but good lord our secondary needs to clean things up.

 

[Thorn]

I still have to give them credit for putting us at two and able to take Stroud over the train wreck that is Young…..

Young didn't even finish the game today. Carolina got butt-stomped by da Saints.

You been, THUNDERSTRUCK!!!

I'm thanking the Panther's GM more for taking Young at 1.1

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

I'm old and my heart still pounding hard. Anyway, we got W and that's what matters. Go Texans!

 

[Bugman7star]

Put Mixon in a protective bubble until next game please.

 

[dalemurphy]

My concerns:
1. Where was the pass rush?
2. Is Kenyon Green mentally challenged?

I feel pretty good about most of what I saw despite the sloppiness of week one.

 

[Speedy]

The 4 points thrown away earlier would been forcing a TD for Colts win.

At the very least, taking the 1 pointer early in the 2nd would have had them needing a FG to tie instead of potentially winning it.

NFL games are usually too close to risk not taking easy points early.

 

[santo]

Carolina must be disappointed at their team looking at both Stroud and Richardson lighting it up while their team barely put up 10 points. Thank you Colts and Carolina.

 

[Hoegarden]

Can we please stop all of the bryce young talks. Yes, we are all glad we didn’t get him. Put a nail in it and lets move on.

 

[DocBar]

The Pats also upset the Bengals! I'm aiming for #1 seed in the AFC this year.

 

[Porky]

Wow wow wow. Our new additions on offense were the difference today. Diggs in a blanket with two tutty’s, Mixon for a buck 60 and a touch, plus figured nicely in the passing game.

And then when everyone in the building knew we were running, Mixon took care of business. Last year, we would have had to punt, and then who knows.

This is exactly what Badboy and I were debating this summer. You pass to score, you run to win. We now have a legit 4 minute offense that can close out these close games.

Absolutely beautiful

 

[MEGA SWATT]

That’s inhumane….















and I love it

 

[Hoegarden]

Lets not forget about Fairbarn. 3 50 plus fgs. Stud today.

 

[djohn2oo8]

I hope they lose every game this year! They ain’t that good! Two Hail Mary throws is all they did today

If Richardson keeps running leading with his head he won’t make it through this season either.

 

[zshawn10]

I love the fact that an off-day for Stroud was still 234 yards, 2 TDs, and a QBR of 115.9.

 

[Pantherstang84]

Lol, Jags lost on a last second FG

lol…Duuuuuuvalllllllll!

So many times Houston teams lose these types of games.
This Houston team made the plays to win it

None bigger than Nico's catch to force a 1st down

 

[Hoegarden]

Need to see more from hunter and anderson. Disappointing debut from the combo.

 

[Texansphan]

geico play of the day for the LOSER colts?

I saw that.

 

[Dejaview]

Young’s QBR today was 32+-. CJ’s was 115+-, 3-1/2+- times higher.

 

[Goodwrench3]

Solid win against a dangerous team
Need some work in the secondary, let's see how it goes

 

[KA4Texan]

geico play of the day for the LOSER colts?

It fits.

In my experience Geico is horrible in every way.

 

[cland]

Agree, but the Colt OT were certainly handsy with no flags thrown. I also think that Hunter and Anderson were focusing on sealing the edge so that the RPO wouldn't burn us. Who knew we'd get 2 big sacks from Mario Edward Jr. and Fatukasi!

 

[Carr Bombed]

Can we please stop all of the bryce young talks. Yes, we are all glad we didn’t get him. Put a nail in it and lets move on.

I'm so glad we didn't get Bryce Young.. I'm sure I'll be saying it every week!

 

[Hoegarden]

Matt Ryan just said our oline dominated the line of scrimmage and kept the pocket clear for Stroud. He should watch the entire game before making such hyperbolic comments

Run blocking yes. Pass blocking no.

I think pass blocking will be cleaned up with reps. Happy to see the run blocking coming together though!

 

[Hoegarden]

I think the Colts are going to be breathing down our necks all season long. This was like ARs 3rd game. He has shown flashes of brilliance in each game. He will be fine.

& his backup is actually a better QB, it'll be a totally different game if AR gets hurt.

 

[Texansballer74]

So, do you think Diggs is happy with his targets? He got two TD catches anyway.

Nope , didn’t we not see him on the sidelines celebrating. Why people keep making a big deal out of nothing?

he's happy if they're winning. If they're losing & he isn't getting the ball then he gets upset.
