Week 18 Game Day: Texans vs Colts - Win or go Home

[DocBar]

Ref Takeover Underway.

That was a good call. Steichen sux for calling a TO with 24 seconds remaining. Minshew doesn't have the arm for a hail mary after a punt.

 

[Errant Hothy]

We have a top 3 kicker. Why are we running out the clock. SMH

Because a TO is way worse than not scoring

 

[JCTexan]

Take a shot downfield. Make Indy pay for calling these timeouts..

 

[DanielTx]

Because a TO is way worse than not scoring

I see you don’t trust your qb who’s having an elite game. 35 seconds is more than enough time to get into the redzone.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Just like a lot of our members the Colts didn't think Beck was worth covering

As essentially no defender was covering the entire mid 1/3 zone of the EZ, there is no doubt that was not the Colts not thinking Beck was not worth covering, but simply a terribbly blown coverage by the Colts.

 

[TexCanada]

Strange choice to throw on third down…

 

[KA4Texan]

Ugh 17 seconds.

Well, now I can tell my wife I last longer than something.

 

[santo]

Strange choice to throw on third down…

Strange play calling in general.

I see you don’t know the difference between being aggressive and needlessly reckless

 

[TexCanada]

Solid half

 

[TexanBorn51]

17 seconds taken Texans offense 4 downs there that's got to be better with less than 2 minutes > half

 

[thunderkyss]

Will Anderson bull rushed the tackle in Minschew's lap

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

He's already got 81 yards in the 1st half.

I realize that, but I believe our D is more likely to get gassed than Taylor.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Halftime adjustment:

Get out of the turtle shell offense you showed that last drive before the half. Go full Mortal Kombat and FINISH THEM!

Nico is unguardable tonight. Let him continue to showcase that he’s WR1 on this team.

 

[DocBar]

I'd run Collins on the post for the 1st play of the 2nd half. Lightning does strike twice.

 

[disaacks3]

I see you don’t know the difference between being aggressive and needlessly reckless

Meh. It was a 50/50 proposition. I suspect the Colts timeouts played into it.

 

[welsh texan]

Always like to be mindful of how the flow of the game ‘feels’ vs what’s on the scoreboard and it feels like the Texans should be ahead by at least an extra score in this one. Will be important to come back out in the second half with good energy.

 

[Bugman7star]

We MUST play with aggression in the 2nd half. Do not let Indy out adjust us. Put them away and avoid dumb penalties.

 

[1TexanFan]

They take their foot off the gas and try to burn down the clock like it is the end of the game.

 

[TexanBorn51]

Ugh 17 seconds.

Well, now I can tell my wife I last longer than something.

Hey bro @72 I was told to try Viagra all it did was keep me from rolling out of bed lmao (jeff dunham and and his old puppet ole man Walter

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Will Anderson bull rushed the tackle in Minschew's lap

Surprised a holding call didn’t happen on the LT…..he almost had Will’s jersey pulled over his helmet.

 

[thunderkyss]

Is that Minschew in your avatar?

 

[Texansphan]

First half impressions...Texans came to play baby!
So far, Minshew has been shut down.
Dolts have a little bit of a run game going so keep that quiet and barring freak plays, we got the ascendancy here!

 

[DanielTx]

I see you don’t know the difference between being aggressive and needlessly reckless

Cj has the best td to int ratio

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

So far he is their only offense. But if the Texans can extend the lead and keep winning the field position battle there are only so many 6 yard run plays the Colts can call. Minshew with 45 yards passing isn’t gonna cut it.

It isn't that Minshew didn't air things out. We have been fortunate that he has either overthrown his receiver or his receiver has dropped crucial passes. Minshew is not a scab. Things can swing the other way quickly.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

He's already got 81 yards in the 1st half.

The defense tightened up after he started strong.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Duplicate post about Minshew.

 

[Thorn]

What's the Vegas line on Tunsil getting another two false starts in the 2nd half?

 

[Errant Hothy]

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Up 8 and getting the hall at half, I am more than happy to remove as much risk as possible from the equation

 

[Speedy]

I don’t know but I heard yesterday that a lot of public money was on the Texans so keep that in mind in the 2nd half.

 

[Rich Schmidt]

Is Fant hurt or did they decide Heck is better?

 

[TejasTom]

You bet $1000 to $1

 

[DocBar]

You're from the Dept. of Redundancy Dept.

 

[TejasTom]

Decided Heck was better according to John Mclain.

 

[amazing80]

Colts are sneaky. They usually get outgained by opponents, but find ways to win. We better hammer home the points and keep them at bay otherwise we risk a tough loss.

 

[TexanBorn51]

This has already been a wonderful glorious season ever Houston Texans. I go back to the Oilers and Astros since the 60s. I'm excited for Houston and all it's football fans! This is awesome!!!

 

[thunderkyss]

Don't care if we score 2 more TDs

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Way different Ravens team back then. Not an excuse just facts.

You can laugh JB but the teams with nothing to play for late in the season tend to lose to lesser teams with more riding on the games.

 

[DocBar]

Hoping Slowik gets aggressive and doesn't go turtle. Win this thing. Don't try not to lose it.

 

[DocBar]

Decided Heck was better according to John Mclain.

Then Fant was better.

 

[Mangler]

We need to score a TD as soon as we get back from the half to keep the momentum on our side. No time for screwing around!

 

[austins23]

Gotta drop at least 3 on these foos with this opening drive

 

[michaelm]

I'm not caught up on recent news. What's the deal with Pierce, is he active?
I don't think he's taken a snap.
Our server is wearing his jersey and I promised her $20 on top of whatever my wife tips if her scores a TD.
Spoiler alert, she's getting it anyway but I thought I'd make it fun for her because she was required to wear Texans gear but she has no idea whose number she's wearing, and seemingly not familiar with the team in general.
I thought maybe it would give her a vested interest to in following the game.

You just cost me a pour of whiskey!! It went everywhere!!

A TD would be great, but a long drive, ending in a FG, would be great too, Taking time off the clock and adding points=making a team 1 dimensional.

 

[Texansphan]

I realize that, but I believe our D is more likely to get gassed than Taylor.

Let's see if the Texans can put a scoring drive together coming out of the half

 

[thunderkyss]

Nothing from the Colts on the halftime highlights

 

[DocBar]

I've got to go all in on reinforcing the OL in the offseason. Give Stroud any time and he'll smoke any defense.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Ryans and Slowick don’t need to take their foot off the accelerator until 4 zero’s are on the clock.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Minshew will rise like the Phoenix in the second half and the Colts and Taylor will run all over us for 3 TD's while we will be lucky to answer with a couple field goals.
