    The Packers are doing their best to help the Texans SOV themselves with a no show against the Colts so far.

    If anything, a Colts win there should make the Texans/Packers game that much more winnable.

    Nevertheless, I expect the Colts to still lose.

    Same here, I'm expecting their defense to fold any minute now. Aaron Rodgers has been so inconsistent this season.

    Man, can you imagine how much "Texans fans" will freak out if Osweiler throws 2 picks in the first quarter when he plays the Packers?

    Green Bay might want to consider kicking the ball out of the back of the end zone....

    Oh man, that's a brutal drop on a perfectly thrown ball. I guess the Pack has their very own Will Fuller.

    The same could have been said about the pats game when the dolphins had just lost a close game in NE and Jimmy went down.
    Unless it's the pats now or the browns for always, a win one week gives few clues about the next week.

    Great rational thinking. NFL math doesn't always work either. Matchups are pretty important. I actually thought this was a trap game for the Packers. Luck is also the type of QB that can expose this Packer defense. Osweiler - not so much.

    The Colts pretty much saved their season tonight. A loss would have put them out of serious contention for the division, now they still have an outside chance.

    yet Erin can't figure out the colts defense, unless he makes a comeback for the ages like brock's reliant game, this is looking like a lost. still hoping for Erin to get a victory. Erin/aaron same thing.

    Or the packers are just not that good and will struggle to beat any opponent...colts and Texans included.

    As it is, the Texans don't have to have that game. They do have to start playing more consistently. Certainly have time to do it.

    Packers finally decided to show up. Will it be too late?

    You are right. I don't think they're that good either. But I've seen the type of games they struggle in. I just don't think the Texans is one of them, especially when we have Indy on deck. And I agree on your second point. Not a must-win either.
