Wild card weekend game thread: Colts @ Texans

[Belichick8384]

New coach or not, Indianapolis still has that rediculous participation banner hanging in their dome. Until they lose their owner and take that stupid thing down they have none of my respect. Hoping Houston takes it, and even better if it ends on a "controversial" call/play because then Indy will lament over that over the next few yrs given their culture of making excuses and blaming everything but their poor performance for their failures.

But part of me hopes Indy beats Houston and makes it past KC so the Pats can beat em down again after beating LA/BAL at home. See what their excuse will be this time.

Great it’s the MNF crew.

After all these years I still wanna kiss her.

I don't think Houston loses two in a row to Indy...

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Honestly, I'm sick of hearing how hot Indy, Baltimore, and Philly are...

 

[Huckleberry1]

Same here. Houston is way too banged up at this point, IMO.

I agree, and I think Indy is the last team KC wants to see. Luck could go into Arrowhead and pull off the upset.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Indy is significantly better than Houston. I don’t think this will be close.

How do you figure? I think Indy is one of the least talented teams in the post season.

Great it’s the MNF crew.

Wtf, why

 

[sb1]

Two games with the MNF crew in 3 days. Yay for us.

They have WAY WAY more than one stupid banner hanging. Multiple "wild card team" banners plus division title banners. They hang one every single time they make the postseason!

JJ watt has a history of disappearing in big games

 

[sb1]

I don’t like the Colts. Go Texans

 

[Wheelman]

Wtf, why

Payment for spearheading framegate propaganda.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

The Texans have won 3 playoff games at Reliant stadium, the Patriots have won 2 Superbowls at Reliant.

 

[sb1]

Thought that was a favorable spot

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

That’s grounding

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Heard an interesting stat:

No team that’s played in the SB has played/ won a road playoff game since 2012. Seems crazy. If I’m wrong, I’m sure one of you will correct me.

This is correct. The last 5 SBs (2013 - 2017) all featured 1 seed vs. 1 seed except 2016 when Atlanta was the 2 seed but the Cowboys were upset in the divisionals by the Packers. So it's been all home games for the participants.

 

[venecol]

Texans / Ravens imo

 

[Wheelman]

Nice Job Watt. lol!

Every time I see Andrew Luck interviewed my first thought is what a goober he is. He has thrown 12 interceptions in 6 career playoff games so my money is on the Texans. Which is good so BB and company can get in a extra day of game planning.
