A loss of either QB ends the game for that team. I suspect both are going to see maximum pressure. One big hit could put that QB in the concussion protocol. I hope that doesn't happen. I want to see both QB's to perform at the top of their game. However, this is the reality of the game. If you have ever played football you know what the dream of every defensive lineman is. The big hit is part of the game.
It is. But if the Ravens and Texans switched opponents, pretty sure the Ravens would be playing in the saturday afternoon game.
I am hoping the Texans run a bunch of empty sets today with Carter and Coutee running slot on both sides. The Texans should be able to get a lot of mismatches today. The Colts allow the most catches to open receivers in the league. Lets hope the addition of V Smith and Coutee help the Texans offense today.
Whatever they do on defense, they better give up everything underneath to ty and not let hm get over the top.
I’m not sure I’m ready to say that the playoff Texans led by Watson is the same as the playoff Texans led by the crap they had there before him. The 2017 Astros weren’t affected by their shortcomings in 2015. It’s a different team. i mean,I guess. I just don’t think this Colts team is special. I don’t think there’s a special team in the AFC at all. Just last month the Colts were literally shutout by Jacksonville.
In watching the titans game last week they had their chances, even with Gabbert. The Texans *should* win today, they'll have opportunities but we need to capitalize.
This magical Colts run has come against : Bills, Raiders, Jaguars, Titans, Dolphins, Jags, Cowboys, Texans, Giants. You play who you play, but lets not pretend they just destroyed the murderers row of football teams. Yes they beat the Texans, but when you lose two offensive lineman in the first quarter and your 3rd string QB is running routes most of the game it will be hard to produce offense. The Texans are a veteran team with an unknown at QB in the playoffs. Deshaun's resume suggest he will bring it when it matters most. Andrew Luck has proven to play worse in the playoffs his whole career. Yes he came back against the Chiefs, but he threw 3 picks in what was his best playoff performance. The Texans should win this game.

I've said it before, but the Texans can beat anybody, and they can lose to anybody (see NYG). I have no idea which version shows up or what's going to happen today.
I think the team will have to score 30+ today to win, I don't know if the offense is up to the job, but that's what it'll take.
I agree. I think getting Coutee back will help out quite a bit with the offense. The Colts got the luxury of double and triple teaming Hop the second game since Joe Webb was being asked to beat one on one coverage.
That and Crennel should have a counter ready to go for when the Colts decide to go no huddle. This defense has one bad half quarter against the Colts the last game.
I truly believe that we are going to New England next week. DSW lives for this. The Texans have NEVER had a QB like Watson. And I better see a screen pass today. Right over the top of the lineman running after Watson.
I would expect the Texans to throw an exotic offense on the field today. Lots of Watson running and some different looking packages the Colts have not seen on film this year.
