Um OK - so it is official

I guess we will have to be satisfied with the front seven crushing some Collins

Mario Williams will have 4 sacks and 1 int by Game 4 of the regular season.

What is odd

Is I am already tired of hearing this…

It is nice that it should give a great advantage to the Texans, but seems like it has been going round and round forever.

“Addai was tackled in the backfield because without Manning the Texans will just tee off on the runs”

etc…

I am perfectly fine with this

This whole season looks like it’s going to be a gimmie to the Texans in this division, and I am okay with that.

Especially if it leads to a home playoff game. I’ll take just one even.

Colts Week 2 starting QB...

Collins makes Manning look like Mike Vick… he gets hurt in the 2nd quarter.
Curtis Painter plays the entire 3rd quarter… and is released by the team at the start of the 4th…

So, the Colts week 2 starting QB is….

David Gerrard here we come!

Odds are that the colts will draft a qb early next year and the quality of that player is increasing along wiyh those odds. So I believe we wil be in a division with 3 1st rd qbs, and any 1st rnd qb tutored by peyton will be trouble. So yes we must do what we can while we can!

Most betting sites still list the Colts as favorites to win the division, followed by the Texans. Personally, I’d jump on the Texans right now at these prices.

lol nice article...

Well written…but seriously, he writes off the Texans running game when we have 3 guys that could be the feature back of this team and do very well? Ward has proven himself that he can get significant yardage on any given play, if what’s-his-name (the Texans announcer) can be believed then Tate is a no joke either and his preseason wasn’t a fluke.

That said, I have to say this guy really doesn’t know much about the Texans…and it wasn’t about CHOKING last year, Jesus Christ, the offense was under so much pressure to score 100 points every game it’s no wonder they failed 10 times out of 16. Our D was that bad. If Peyton was required to score that much with such a historically bad defense he would be viewed as a choke artist too. And it’s a bullshit label. The Texans balls dropped in the 4th more often than not. A loss is a loss, I’ll grant you that, but in the fashion that the Texans went out…we had some damn entertaining games.

But that’s what they need to say to have hope before game 1. And I’m OK with that. I don’t begrudge a team’s fans their hope. Even if it is FALSE hope.

What's funny about that

is that it basically puts the Glitter Kitties in the same boat as the BESFs. They’ll both be bad teams this year. And then of course, there is the division Juggernaut they’ll all have to worry about this year, with our new D.

With the exception of the Texans, this is going to be an extremely weak division. The Seahawks could probably win it.

I disagree...

The offense is potent…he takes chances when he needs to, and yes, he fucks up…but were those fuck ups to pan out he would be considered great. I’m not saying he’s perfect, who can really know that? But the Texans offense, his specialty, reflects very well on him. And I’m sorry but the Texans were NOT choke artists last year. The offense had to contend with a historically bad defense and we actually came on strong in the 4th quarter in a number of those games that we lost. Very sorry but if our D is bad enough to make the Jets look like the 49’ers of the 90’s then something is seriously wrong.

Plan and simple, you are not. There are teams that are worst off than a Colts team without Manning. Kerry Collins is better than about 7-10 other QB’s that are currently starters in the NFL. Those teams with crappy QB situations will purposely tank games just for a shot at Luck and you don’t pay a veteran/retired QB 14 Mil for 2 years just to have an 0-16 season (Yes, there will be a team that will lose all 16 games for a chance at Luck)

If I were a Colts fan, I would be ashamed at even the thought of hoping to get Luck. I may dislike Peyton when the Texans play him but he’s one helluva player.

Who said replace him?

They’re talking about having the best back-up in the league. If Peighton stays injured he will retire early and Luck could step in and keep the train rolling. If not at least Luck could learn from the best and be an instant MVP candidate in his first year as the full time starter. It’s the slow road, but why would he want to go play for a super shitty team and take all of those lumps? For career stats? Bah I say, BAH! He seems like a smart guy…i think he’d love to learn under the best.

This is the second radio report from Indianapolis in less than a week that has suggested that Manning will not play in 2011. Manning has been ruled out for Week 1 at Houston already as he has not rehabbed quickly enough from neck surgery in May. “It will be tough not to be out there playing for the organization and our fans,” Manning said regarding missing Week 1, per ESPN. “I simply am not healthy enough to play.”

Week 1 we need to win big.

42-19 or 38-17. We should blow this team out. No more excuses. Our offense is full of fantasy all-stars. Our defense has one of the most respected D-coordinators in the league. All the other teams in the division have new QB’s (Colts for an undetermined amount of time). It’s now or that’s it. I’ve been a Kubiak defender mainly because I’ve never loved the two D-Coordinators he’s had here and the defenses performance reflects that. Well we finally got one so for the first time since I started watching the Texans I expect them to win 11+ games and win this division.

If that doesn’t happen this year,I hate to say it, we’ll have to clean house.

Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

I'm counting on a clean sweep of the division...

We should get two out of Jacksonvillage and Manningless and I’m going to puke if they don’t beat the shit out of the BESF’s twice.

This is the Texans remember? Let’s actually win the damn games before we starting crowing.

BO$$'ED

Do you really think a QB looks up from the line and says "Oh, I don't have to worry about that 6'7 280 pound man over there. He has no sacks and is a terrible line backer!"

Calling me Bo$$man? Lol…sorry, Just kinda tired of all of the cynicism. There’s a culture with the fandom of people just waiting for them to disappoint us…it’s a sad way to exist really as a sports fan.

Thing is, we need Manning playing.

B/c it’s not the Colts we can’t beat, it’s Peyton Manning we can’t beat. I don’t want the AFC South handed to us, I want us to earn it.

by jkcheng122 on Sep 7, 2011 4:54 PM CDT reply actions  

Only if we beat at least the following teams:

1. A win or two against Ravens and Steelers
2. A win or two against Falcons and Saints

Going 6-0 in division doesn’t say much this year.

by jkcheng122 on Sep 7, 2011 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

It says that we have 6 wins without even counting the other 10 games on the schedule...

Pretty awesome if you ask me…can afford some down games and letting injured players get back to 100 percent if you have that kind of a handicap. Sitting Foster for a few games to let him heal up? Excellent….if they have an easy go of the division we might not see the team at full strength until the end of the season…and there’s no telling how much noise they could make at that point.

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 5:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Considering the Texans' tradition of "winning"

I’d say a 6-0 division run would be a great start. But then it is the Texans, so it would not surprise me at all if they beat Pittsburgh and Baltimore and find ever-so-creative ways to lose to JAX and Cincy.

by Spektr6 on Sep 7, 2011 5:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah

watch us beat pitts, balt, atl, NO
then lose to oakland, cleveland, miami.

by jkcheng122 on Sep 7, 2011 5:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

Cleveland and Miami...

Might be better than advertised…I don’t expect ANY easy games in any given year. There’s no telling. Baltimore could go 6-10 and Cleveland could go 11-5…you never know.

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 5:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

If we go deep into the playoffs does it really matter?

People will calling the central weak and saying that the Texans couldn’t have won it had it had it’s previous strength. But remember we still have to play the likes of NO, Shitsburgh and Baltiless…if we have a good showing in those games I think the league might be fearful of facing this team in the Playoffs.

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

They were in the Playoffs...

And they beat a very good NO team. Shows they have balls if nothing else. You have to give them THAT MUCH credit don’t ya?

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 5:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm a bit torn on that

I dont feel they even deserved to have home field.

by jkcheng122 on Sep 7, 2011 5:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

hehe...

Yeah, that record sucked…was stomach turning that they made it into the playoffs and other teams were sitting on their thumbs at home…but for the most part I think you would agree that that year was something of a fluke. Not too many teams with that bad of a record make it into the playoffs…and how many have ever made it that deep? Bad taste in your mouth, I understand that…but come on…put yourself in a Seahawk fan’s shoes. You’d be giggling like a retard with a popsicle if the Texans made their way into the playoffs…no matter the record.

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 5:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah I would be giggling.

But, they pay for it at the next draft when their draft position is way down near the bottom when they actually could use some help.

by jkcheng122 on Sep 7, 2011 5:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's kinda like the haters saying...

that the Rockets championships weren’t legit because of MJ being there. So what? They had awesome playoff runs and it was the first time in the Jordan Era that they even got to the Finals (And the Rockets were a difficult matchup for the Bulls based on their regular season matchups during the Jordan era). It’s not like the Bulls ever kept them from the Finals. The Knicks? Yeah, the Magic? Sure. They wouldn’t have even gotten that far had the Bulls been around…most likely…woulda coulda shoulda…doesn’t matter. A ring is a ring is a ring!

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 5:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ha, MJ not being there isn't the only reason.

We also got lucky with Seattle Sonics getting eliminated before having to play them. Rockets never could beat the George Karl’s Sonics.

by jkcheng122 on Sep 7, 2011 5:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ha....

I think those teams were on a different level. It was always a crap shoot in any game against the top teams of that day…Spurs, Suns, Sonics, Jazz…there were a bunch of consistent teams back then. But even still…Hakeem was just out of his mind…and the team chemistry was ridiculous. That was a team unlike anything I have seen since.

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 5:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

The closest I'd ever seen Hakeem go 'vendetta' against another player

was David Robinson 1995 Western conf. semifinals. The ’95 Rockets were a good team, but Olajuwon personally dismantled the NBA MVP in that series.

by Spektr6 on Sep 7, 2011 5:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Oh Durga...

Just seeing the clips of Hakeem from that series alone is enough to make your jaw drop. And even more so if you had ever seen Robinson play. He was really good. Fast, athletic, strong as a bull…but Hakeem made him look like a walking stump.

by Peckerwood on Sep 7, 2011 5:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yup, a W in the NFL is a W.

This is not college football where you impress the polls based on who you play and how much you score. Luck plays a part in every season and that’s why there’s always an underdog team that somehow wins it all. It’s sometimes more about who wants it more.

by Tony Ung on Sep 7, 2011 5:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

is a W in the MLB against the Astros a W?

It was funny my friend was telling me they should be renamed AAAstros. Then we discussed a bit and figured one A is enough.

by jkcheng122 on Sep 7, 2011 5:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

If it was the last game of the season

And a W gives a berth to the playoffs then saw that we were playing the Lastros, I’d jump for joy. Also, the lastros will have the #1 pick for the next 3 years LOL

by Tony Ung on Sep 7, 2011 5:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

The Astros could definitely use a few consecutive #1 overall picks. I hope they take Nick Williams next year.
