I heard it is bad to start a thread the day before, but it seemed to work out okay against the Raiders. I hope Gus has a good plan for Stroud. The guy seems to be legit.

Who do you think assumes TY's dominance over the Texans ? Me, I hope JT runs 25 for 160 and 2 TD's !!! Colts 31- Texans 12.

I feel the Colts will need to score over 30 to win this game.

o


Either that, or the Colts' defense will need to play up to its full potential ...... which is pretty darned high.

o

1. No turnovers (or roughing the punter)
2. TDs not FGs (but don't get stupid)
3. Win in the trenches
4. Refs don't fk us

82% on Hou ATS, 74% on Hou ML. Thanks a good sign.

Varying defensive strategies would go a long way to get this done.

Think the entire thing hinges on our DL. Houston has struggled to run the ball. We need to continue that trend and shut down the run early. Then we MUST get to Stroud, we have to make him uncomfortable and get him sped up. If we sit back in zone and just continuously rush 4, even without a top shelf WR unit, he will be able to pick this secondary apart.

Agreed that our DL is going to have to play better than it has the past couple of weeks, and I doubt we will but we really should switch up our coverages. Sitting back in a soft zone today will lose us the game.

Also, no stupid ST penalties that gift them extra possessions and points.

All the talk from national media is how Stroud shreds the cover 3… I feel like the under the radar difference in this game will be the range and tackling ability of Harrison and Cross. That puts 2 rangey guys that will come and hit you on the back end, I look for some big hits and a couple INTs from these guys tonight

lets stop the bullshit

it literally cant be an official game day thread if it isn't started on game day. we as a society need to have some standards. this is an internet travesty


F on the title

o


That's true ...... but so is a highly intelligent guy with an IQ of about 135 (you) intentionally going out of his way to use the punctuation of a borderline illiterate.

o

Play action on the first play from scrimmage and go over the top to Pierce.

Gus needs to turn these guys loose...man up and send the house at least once and awhile or Stroud will pick us apart! Since I have been about the worse at picking winners this season me picking the Colts to lose could be a good omen!

Texans 33
Colts. 23

Unfortunately one of the personnel differences in this game will be Julian Blackmon being out.

Good news is JT will play this time... but apparently so will Laremy Tunsil. Kelly went out in the first game and I guess we don't know if he's playing yet? Any word?

I see that Zak Moss will also be back to help JT so the 1-2 punch is back in the run game. A nice rotation of Downs, Pierce and Pittman mixed in there is a winning formula in my world.

PLEASE TITS - Spank the Sparkle Kitties!!!!!

:o:cool:

Taylor averages 83 yards and has 7 TDs in 5 career games vs. Houston. I think he takes it over. I like the Colts in a close, high scoring affair.

:eek:

Who is the source of the 135 IQ?:D

o


It's an approximation of mine ...... Omaha likes to mess with people, and one of the ways in which he does so is by coming across as a guy who can barely read and write. He is highly intelligent, and (most likely) highly educated.

o

Well, he is a (smart)ass, so maybe 135 is not out of the question? :D

Almost all the pundits are picking the Texans. They can stick their predictions up their asses!

100 percent.

I don’t care if it worked out last week, it’s bad mojo. Start the damned game day thread on game day. It’s not that freaking hard.

Keys to a Colts' Win:

1) Run the ball
2) Stop the run
3) Start the game thread the day before



I've got your back C&O.

23-7 good guys

Klotz by a FG last minute so maybe 27-24 Klotz win.

So you are going Gay tonight?:eek:

Gay FTW!

Gay and proudly happy ;) as long as he makes the winning FG!

Going on 2 AM in these parts of the Kingdon.... The dudes best win or I will be seriously hating it as I am tired as hell already.

I think the offense will do enough but Gus Bradley & the D worry me.

o


The Steelers beat the Ravens ...... so if this game winds up in a tie, both teams are out UNLESS the Jaguars lose tomorrow ...... if that happens, then the Colts will be the 2023 AFC South champions with a record of 9-7-1.

o

Thank you, C&O. I was wondering about that scenario

o


I love the Colts, but I draw the line at taking it up the ass for them.

o

:D

Would we be here if Richardson had not been hurt....or do we owe this menaingful game to Minshew?

Colts starting on offense.

Free first down. I'll take it

Taylor, Taylor, Pittman. Good. Feed the best players.

Michael Pittman Jr. is a Beast!

Sign that man.

o


Minshew DID NOT panic under pressure there ...... he stepped up a bit, kept on looking downfield, and found the nearest receiver for a completion.
