Week 18 - Texans vs Colts: The Holding #1 pick all season until the end Bowl?

[Decim8]

I see the colts are making sure we don’t get the first overall pick

 

[Texansballer74]

Meanwhile the stupid Browns are up 7-0 over the Steelers

They’re down now 10-7

 

[Mr teX]

And like other talking heads, they have contacts that leak things and feed them info. He isn’t making this up. Whether it proves right or wrong, it’s being leaked to him from someone.

Sounds more like wishful thinking put out there from someone that wants it to happen than any credible info. Easterby, Palcic, Rootes……There’s noone left in that FO Who’d have any real insights into what Cal may do.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

We average like 20 points a game under Mills, I anticipate the next half to be boring for us.

No, the Texans average less than 20 points a game b/c the Texans have Lovie and Pep calling the shots.

 

[Texian]

Which is not a terrible thing. The Bears, who may just get the #1 overall pick, are happy with Justin Fields. The guys that are pounding the table for a QB with our first pick will more than likely get what they want.

The #1 pick or #2 pick will not make a difference. I doubt the Bears select a QB. Ubless they trade the pick to some team that needs a QB!

It is a terrible thing, it is a horrendous thing, it is a dumb thing and it is an asinine thing, and here is why.

Say your assumption that Chicago will not take a QB is true. The COLTS at #5 do their due diligence and believe that Young is a franchise QB and their QB for the next 10 years. The Colts trade #5, #37, and next years #1 to move up to Chicago's #1 and draft Young. Now the Texans have to face Lawrence and Young twice a year. Now imagine the Colts were dead on with their assessment of Young. That's a TERRIBLE thing.

I'm betting Glazer's source was Cal McNair.

I seriously doubt the Colts are going to mortgage their future for Bryce Young. It saying it’s impossible, but not everyone is sky high on Bruce Young.

 

[Hervoyel]

Can’t even tank correctly

It doesn't matter. It's what the Colts think that matters and right now they don't have a QB.

 

[zshawn10]

Great start by Indy

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

What the Hell was Pitre doing on that play!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

 

[thunderkyss]

This isn't about talent deficiency. Just bad coaching

 

[Texian]

Why? Chicago is not going to take the guy you want. It really doesn't matter if the Texans win or lose

The reason this is a high degree of stupidity is Bears could trade the pick to CoLTS who take their franchise QB and if COLTS are right Texans now have to face Young or Stroud and Lawrence twice a year. Really Really dumb Texans.

 

[Texian]

Seattle is in prime position to trade into #1 to get Bryce Young.

Some people don't get it.

 

[thunderkyss]

You forget. I don't think Young is a franchise QB.

 

[dream_team]

The #1 pick or #2 pick will not make a difference. I doubt the Bears select a QB. Ubless they trade the pick to some team that needs a QB!

I highly doubt the Bears will be making that pick. Some QB needy team will make a big offer to move to #1. Hell, if Caserio falls in love with either Young or Stroud, he may even give up a 3rd to move up one spot to ensure he gets his guy.

 

[badboy]

They don't need to draft a QB...........they need to draft OLs, Wrs and RB to support a QB.

why Not do both?

 

[santo]

Bears are getting the first pick. It seems the Colts are treating this game like preseason.

 

[Texian]

Hope it takes their whole draft

It won't. #3 and #11 will get it done. Hawks could get Bears #66.

 

[nut]

The Bears will keep Fields. He made a big improvement this year. They will trade the pick and we will get stabbed. Same old bullpoop from our magnificent team.

 

[Brisco_County]

Ehlinger is like 240 lbs and mobile, yet Saturday doesn't run an RPO on 4th and goal. Amazing.

 

[michaelm]

Texans, you control your own destiny.

Minnesota is going to beat the Bears, so you're going to have to take matters into your own hands and go out there and lose this yourselves.
You got this. Shock the world!!!

 

[Number19]

If the Colts want to draft QB, they can trade up to #2 and have their choice of Young or Stroud, whichever is available. They have two options for trading up. This is out of the Texans hand.

 

[gwallaia]

I would say put the 3rd string in, but they are just as good as the 1st string

 

[Decim8]

You forget. I don't think Young is a franchise QB.

Maybe teams will trade up for Stroud instead

 

[thunderkyss]

It won't. #3 and #11 will get it done. Hawks could get Bears #66.

We're talking about the Colts. I couldn't care less if the Seahawks trade up

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Colts are playing this game like they want the #1 pick and just don’t want to deal with the Texans to get it. The Bears make for more sense to deal with.

 

[santo]

Mills needs to learn to throw pix 6’s to help the Texans out.

 

[nut]

Where is the college dual quarterback attack today?

 

[powda]

Mills needs to learn to throw pix 6’s to help the Texans out.

We need to put Matt Schaub out there.

 

[Porky]

You forget. I don't think Young is a franchise QB.

Lucky for us you aren’t the GM so it doesn’t matter what you think. While I happen to completely disagree, in fairness it doesn’t matter what I think either. Let’s see what the current/new GM thinks.

 

[justmy2cents]

This isn't about talent deficiency. Just bad coaching

If we want to get into the playoffs, it's gonna take a healthy dose of both !

 

[thunderkyss]

Again

Get past the idea of the Texans trying to win in 2023.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

Im trying to catch up on dvr

17-7 5 mns to go in 2Q


The skirts on colts cheerleaders are major MAJOR Grand ma!

 

[Decim8]

Don’t worry the bears will call caserio and let him know there’s multiple QB needy teams wanting to trade up for the number 1 pick causing him to panic and trade the 2nd overall pick and a 2nd/3rd round pick to move up one slot………it be a Texan thing to do

 

[thunderkyss]

Lucky for us you aren’t the GM so it doesn’t matter what you think. While I happen to completely disagree, in fairness it doesn’t matter what I think either. Let’s see what the current/new GM thinks.

Keep quoting my posts & I'll continue to tell you what I think. If it really doesn't matter to you what I think, quote somebody else & I'll stop telling you what I think

 

[Texian]

You forget. I don't think Young is a franchise QB.

It doesn't matter what you think. You might be wrong and odds are, YOU ARE. What matters is what the Bears and the Colts think. Why would you want to put a divisional rival in the driver's seat? and in a position to kick your ass for the next 10 years?

 

[thunderkyss]

If we want to get into the playoffs, it's gonna take a healthy dose of both !

Understood. My point is today we're playing the backups backups & most likely won't win this game

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Too much wasted draft capital on a #1 or #2 pick QB. Drop down a couple of picks in return for additional picks.

IMO, if the Bears end up with #1 or #2, QB needy teams could be more inclined to deal with them with the thought that the Bears are not interested in a QB.
The Texans, on the other hand, may be looked at as needing a QB thus making other QB needy teams apprehensive about approaching them for #1 or #2.

 

[Texian]

We're talking about the Colts. I couldn't care less if the Seahawks trade up

Well then Colts get it done for #5, #37 and next years 1st RD.

 

[vtech9]

If Stroud declares.

 

[thunderkyss]

Exactly. Doesn't matter that you think all these teams want to trade up for Young. It's not going to happen

 

[Texian]

History says if Bears don't draft Young with #1 then someone else will draft him at #1.

 

[mitaban]

If Stroud has an agent I am pretty sure he will encourage him to declare so he can get his cut.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

I love our D.................and Lovie's clueless expression.

 

[justmy2cents]

Too many backs and receivers on IR !

 

[badboy]

If the Colts want to draft QB, they can trade up to #2 and have their choice of Young or Stroud, whichever is available. They have two options for trading up. This is out of the Texans hand.

Also if Bears trade down might not get Anderson or Carter..

 

[powda]

What just happened

 

[santo]

Go Colts!!
