    He'll finish a distant second, he's only got 5 TD's on the season and an elite QB will always beat out a solid WR

    Also, remember last year, last game of the season Texans visiting Indy, and Mills won that game, that gave us the #2 pick in theDraft and the rest is history
    Also many of the losses against Colts was against Manning / Luck.

    Yeah ppl seem to forget they’ve had 2 HoF QBs back to back while we’ve had…….. (crickets).

    Anyway, We have a Stroud now.

    Praying to the football gods they can give us this version of Will Anderson that we have been seeing and a semi healthy Jonathan Greenard.

    Feels like those two when they are on, can ruin games.

    Texans quietly have developed an Elite Edge Tandem, strong corners, and an above average LB core when Harris and Cashman are healthy.

    Really only safety play away from having a top of the line defense.

    I would start Amos and Jackson, who probably would limit the big play that has been haunting this defense.

    Imagine those pieces all playing well to pair with Stroud on his game. Texans will be a tough out in that scenario.

    Well the Texans also lost in Indy to Colt greats Jacoby Brissett, Dan Orlovsky, Phillip Rivers, and Carson Wentz.

    Dude I was thinking the same thing.. all 3 have a good defense. But Flacco picked us apart, Bills are a complete team that can overcome turnovers, and I feel like we can at least count on the chiefs to drop some passes.

    plus all my college friends are chiefs fans so I would love some payback.

    Colts won the first matchup when our o line was decimated and Stroud was new. Now stroud has a full season under his belt and a healthier o line.

    Personally and professionally I have a HUGE week ahead. Really huge meeting on Thursday. I’m pumped for it and feel really good about it.

    And I’m also already thinking about Saturday night and our Texans!! Have a great week everyone! GO TEXANS!

    It's tough. They also lost their starting qb of game and didn't have Taylor playing for them. It's going to be a tough matchup with alot on the line. Our offense is also not the same without dell and we may be without our number 2 receiver. I have a feeling defense will decide if we win or not

    I do believe that "Joe Buck Live" was cancelled the next week:



    For whatever reason, I don't know?

    So I guess no one can say that Artie Lange never did a good thing for the world.

    I'm not sure who writes the scripts for all the sports personalities, but they almost universally look back on the week 2 match-up as a Minchew start when Anthony Richardson actually started that game. Minchew came in before halftime when Richardson was injured.

    I just find it interesting how widespread the narrative is for the first match-up.
