    I wouldn't stress it, we had just as many or more fans at the game than they did and it was in their city.

    Sometimes the ball bounces your way and sometimes it doesn't. We have had our few lucky breaks this season as well.

    On to the next one. But I think we lose this one as well Bobbythegreat. Our offense isn't good , especially with Fitzpatrick at the helm.

    No doubt, our fan base has grown tremendously.

    But hey that Texas pride thing is real. In this oil field I've talked mad trash to a lot of Cowboys fans lol and vise versa. I know them joker can't wait until I come back to the field.

    Well, when it comes to Thursday night games, the home team almost always has a huge advantage, and the Colts are coming off a game against a physical Ravens team. Won't be easy, but I could see a win.

    If the Texans want to be in a position to win the division, it's about as close to a "must win" game as you can have this early in the year.

    1) Some games count more, but every game counts until playoff positioning is secure.
    2) It's DAL. Won't get another chance until 4 years. Astros won the boot, maybe the Rockets will whoop the Mavs for a while.

    Bobby... Would you rather have less Texan fans at the game and then come out with the win?

    You guys are an Arian Foster injury away from losing 11 straight.

    1. Yes, and a win against a division rival, especially one that will be in the hunt to win the division is about a million times more valuable than one against a team that isn't a division rival, or even a conference rival.

    2. Meh. It's a city rivalry and as such, I'd have rather won, but in the end, winning the AFC South is a lot more important.

    Well obviously I'd rather win, but the point is that the whole "little brother" narrative is laughable in that the Texans have more fans in their stadium than they do.

    I won't even dignify the last part with a response.

    Won't outscore Indy in a shootout, need ball control running game to keep Luck on the sidelines. Then play bend but don't break D. If we can do those two thing we take it.

    i would love to say the Texans will not have a problem scoring on that poor indy defense.... but, after only putting up 17 points on the awful cowboys defense i sense we'll make indy look like the '85 bears.

    Ugh, I hate that I have to agree with this, the O line should be ashamed of themselves today. As to Indy, their D is just as bad as Dallas', but it didn't seem to matter how bad they are today.

    1) You're the only one arguing whether a win vs DAL or Indy is more important. I was responding to your comment saying a win vs Indy makes this DAL "completely and totally irrelevant". Texans haven't secured playoff positioning.

    2) see #1

    like 3 or 4 times. not sure why we aren't exploiting the TE vs LB match ups.

    is it BOB? is it fitz? combo? i am not sure.

    btw... this was the first time this season that I saw BOB holding a colored play sheet. Maybe I didn't notice before but I sweat I hadn't seen him holding that sheet and calling plays.

    So if the Texans miss the playoffs by one game, the fact we beat Indy makes the DAL loss irreverent? No. You're arguing which win would be better.
