Texans stadium half empty tonight - Colts-Texans Game Thread

[Joe Realist]

Keeping with the trend, this is looking like a blowout too.

 

[Szczepanik]

I would put Dallas right up there with Indy.

Each week is different. You cannot compare a team during different weeks. For example, the Cowboys that played the 49ers were not the same cowboys that played the week after.

Or the Patriots that played cincy are not the same patriots that played KC the week prior.

This is crazy. Another blowout. I actually thought this was going to be the first close TNF game. Guess not.

 

[jwitten82]

Texans should put Mallet in.

 

[StylisticS]

They sure aren't making me feel great about our overtime win last Sunday

If we don't turn the ball over and catch passes, we would have had the same lead in the first half. Dallas could have easily been up 17-0 or even 24-0 at the half.

and Dallas needed overtime to beat them, what does that say about the cowboys....

It means don't eat the cheese.

Lol at this thread

Nothing. Each week and opponent is different.

Texans should put Mallet in.

They really should. Fitzpatrick is terrible.

I'm not so sure about that. The Titans are awful and the Cowboys played a crappy game against the Rams. The only impressive game so far was against New Orleans.

 

[Jack Burton]

The Texans hit us with everything they had. It was a HUGE interstate rivalry game. They lost a close one and now they are obviously flat and still stinging from what the Cowboys did to them. Plus, the Colts are a good football team.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

our win against the Texans is looking less and less impressive by the minute

Nothing.

Yeah well the Colts lost to the Rams by 30 lost year and we beat the Rams by 24. Comparing one game/opponent to another means nothing. Also our turnovers was the only reason that game at the Texans was close.

Nailed it, in today's NFL (parity) teams can go from looking terrible to looking like contenders (several times a year in fact) I don't remember the 80-90's NFL looking like that

 

[Texas_Pete]

Or it's possible they're facing a different level of competition tonight.

The answer's probably somewhere in the middle.

You telling me the Colts > Cowboys?

 

[coogrfan]

Texans should put Mallet in.

With the way their OL is playing it doesn't really matter who lines up at QB.

Getting to the playoffs isn't about looks. It is about wins. Dallas go their win. But as far as looks, Dallas actually had to play against a Houston crowd. There is no one in the stands in this game.

 

[30yrheel]

Texans suck, and we're average. Thus, we barely won last week.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Well, that was some quarter.
