Battle Red Radio: Picking Up The Pieces

The Carolina Newtons laugh, in cradles of wrought gold,
Houston claps their hands together, and half close their eyes,
For they will ride to the playoffs when the season flies,
With no Amobi Okoye, and a run defense fallen cold:
I bite my nails and press the Andre Johnson bobblehead to my breast,
And hear the shallow mediots calling for my child and me.
Desolate winds that cry over anyone not named Drew Brees;
Desolate winds that hover in the flaming AFC West;
Desolate winds that make sure not to criticize Tim Tebow after his defeat
The doors of a first-round disappointment blow open; with many a whimpering ghost;
As the boos come raining down from the unappeasable host
-- W.B. Yates.
Well, that suck-diddly-ucked. The short turn around leaves the Texans looking to pick up the pieces in Indianapolis as they attempt to keep pace in the race for a first-round bye.
Join myself, Tim, and MDC. We will break down all the fallout from the last few days. Featured segments will include "Let's never praise Shaun Cody again" and "Did this game upgrade Wade Phillips' statue from bronze to gold?"
If you'd like to get a question answered, there are two ways:
Option A: You could call in to the show! Our phone number is 661-244-9808. I'm not going to try to create a call-in segment anymore. I'll just work with the calls we have. The lines will open after the show starts, and as I see a caller, I'll take them in and let them lob their questions at us. Keep in mind that a) this is not a toll-free call for you and b) it may take 10-15 minutes to get to your call depending on call volume, long-winded responses, and technological constraints.
I should add: If you call, just give us one question. Your best question. Thanks.
Option B: Leave us a question in the comments. We'll try to hit on it in a special segment near the end of the show.
Here's a direct link to the show if the embed link below does not let you listen live. While you wait, you can catch up on last week's show, where some idiots foolishly picked the Panthers to get slaughtered.
P.S.: This show will probably have cursing, and will probably not be suitable for younger audiences.

Option B
Could it benefit the Texans (given their guaranteed playoff appearance) to sand-bag the rest of the regular season and then crank it up in the first round?

Should we, as nitpicking, paranoid, drunk, and possibly schizophrenic Texans fans worry about the bad game J Jo had against Carolina?

One of the morons in the booth for the Texans game said that K.J. had “good coverage” after a Newton incompletion. Should we, as a collection of Battlefight Fanatics, consider this to be a sign that Gozer the Destructor is coming to end reality as we know it?

Possibly going to be asked by Rivers but...
Do you want this team to have a bye in the playoffs? Why or why not?
Antoine Caldwell….is PFF right in saying he was very good or no?
J.J. Watt’s awesome.

Yes.

Wouldn't make a good game.
Everyone would be lining him up to get run over.

The guys over there did correctly predict the clusterfuck that was Shaun Rogers.
Got to be the biggest FA disappointment for the Saints since Jason David.
Bring back Aaron Brooks! He's the only one who can save us from the evil that is Drew Brees!!

Franklin has also been a disappointment.
Though he was playing hurt the first half of the season.

Luckily
There’s Drew Brees….how this guy keeps getting better is also something I don’t get.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I don't know either.
He’s so fucking good this year. Even his mistakes this year aren’t all his fault. He’s going down as one of the best and I’m glad I get to see him every Sunday.

He'll demand too much money and I can see him going to a cushier job
Say…..Miami…..who drafts a RGIII or a Matt Barkley? A team with more pieces to win sooner.

If they throw interceptions to each other with the intention of throwing interceptions...doesn't that make them receptions?

The Colts get neither!
They can have Orlovsky.

I know Luck's the smarter decision....
but I still wish Manning would stay a Colt forever. It’ll be weird to see him in Jet green or Chief red or Seahawk odd blue.
"Lord, beer me strength."
This.
I’m still not impressed with Luck. I’d keep Manning and just build around the QB so that you can prepare to have someone else take over.

I'd rather invest in the offensive line and secondary
Get some depth…..build a better team. You think this season would teach them that they need many parts aside from QB.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Exactly.
Depending on one guy is great…until he goes down.

I suppose we shouldn't talk
Not all teams can have a Chase Daniels or T.J. Yates on the bench
"Lord, beer me strength."
Lol.
Chase Daniel coming in to replace Drew Brees right now is comparable to Matt Flynn coming in to replace Aaron Rodgers. There’s no defense for him to lean on, and the run game is dependent on Brees having such monster numbers they don’t respect the run.

if I rooted for the Colts, maybe
but I root for them to bust their #1 pick, lose 16 games, and embarrass their city every year.
Call me crazy.
Yates - our current game manager.
I'm not a Colts fan, but I am a fan of the game....
and some players should be 1-franchise players……and some franchises shouldn’t jettison someone who has been a cornerstone.
Sure, they can sit in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place all they want…..but Peyton builds that franchise up and is now facing the possibility of being cut? That’s a raw deal in my book. It’s the smarter thing to do, but it’s still a crummy thing to me.
"Lord, beer me strength."
and I hope they
do many crummy things from here on out.
I am a fan of the Texans, ergo, I am a fan of the Colts making stupid decisions every day.
I don’t care if they disrespect the game. I’ll just wait for Shockey’s twitter to see if anyone has been disrespected. Until then, I want all AFC teams to implode. It only helps my selfish Texans desires.
Yates - our current game manager.
If you wanted them to make stupid decisions
You’d want them to keep Manning over Luck.
Still, my point is I wish things like this (franchise players being forced out of their teams) didn’t happen. I only hope it doesn’t happen to Andre when that time comes.
"Lord, beer me strength."
What just happened?
It shut off
