Wild card weekend game thread: Colts @ Texans

[TB_Helmet]

Dumbest rule in football.

I hope they call that a touchback, not a touchdown (IMHO they should overturn it). I get a kick over how Florio hates that rule so much and pontificates about it endlessly whenever we see it in play, so he will certainly lose his mind having it happen in a playoff game.

Half that ball was across the line when he was losing it

Guys, I'm starting to think Houston won't win.

Ya think? Game was over in the 1st quarter

Dumbest rule in football.

Why?

 

[BobDigital]

Even if Houston has 2 three and outs they will run out of time with drives like that.

This could be the dagger for sure for Houston.

Dumbest rule in football.

It’s great, it’s delivered some great endings. Why is it bad?

 

[fnordcircle]

I really, really thought Houston was going to win this game. Everything was trending towards a comeback imo. This fumble + touchback all but kills that.

 

[Arialgg]

He had one job... hang on to the ball. My gosh.

It's not a matter of being "afraid" of the Ravens, it's a matter of wanting the best possible matchup in the divisional round PLUS having Baltimore travel to K.C. to soften up the Cheeves.

I think the Colts could take the Chiefs out. They have the firepower to score against bad secondaries and enough defense to get some stops. I think they may be better positioned to take them out than the Ravens.

That’s a td, he broke the plane. Cutie strikes! Keep feeding him Texans!

 

[Froob]

Yeah that’s a touchdown. Colts can’t turn it over.

 

[XLIX]

Hou got lucky big time

 

[Wax Frog]

This could be the dagger for sure for Houston.

The dagger for Houston was the opening whistle.

 

[Dorito Dink]

That's a terrible call. He lost control of the ball. They want to keep viewers engaged.

 

[sb1]

Yep TD.

Would not be reversed if call on the field was the other way

 

[MoreBellhorn]

Looking at the last replay, that's a good call. They're very lucky.

 

[Tunescribe]

What a homer call for the score. He didn't have control of that ball.

 

[fnordcircle]

Wow. holy **** I really thought he fumbled that.
