Game Thread W14 - Indianapolis V Houston (1 Viewer)

Not even one target to Stokley :cry: I'm in trouble in one of my leagues. Must win this week, and I needed to pick the right 3 receivers, I think I blew my playoff hopes by going with stokley today.

 
I'm pretty sure I saw Johnson on the field for the Wells TD (when CBS showed it as an update). Of course with DDavis having picked up 144 yards on 18 touches, they don't seem to need him so far.

 
Well...we should mention his name. He just took a good hit that knocked his first catch out of his hands. He's ok, but, ouch!

 
Texans head coach (capers i think should be fired) there is no way you are going to beat INDY with D. Davis.. are the colts playing that good of pass D that the Texans have to take what they can get ? Or is the play calling that bad?/??

:no: Is Dom Davis a beast today? :yes:

14 carries for 92 yards and 4 receptions for 51 yards. Yeah what are they thinking controlling the clock and trying to keep Indy O off the field.
 
Houston Texans at 03:08 1-10-HOU20 (3:08) D.Davis up the middle to HST 26 for 6 yards (J.Nelson). 2-4-HOU26 (2:31) PENALTY on HST-C.Pitts, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at HST 26 - No Play. 2-9-HOU21 (2:12) D.Davis up the middle to HST 40 for 19 yards (I.Bashir). 1-10-HOU40 (2:04) D.Carr pass to D.Davis to IND 43 for 17 yards (N.Harper). (18 yards after catch.) 1-10-IND43 (1:55) (Shotgun) D.Davis up the middle to IND 34 for 9 yards (V.Hutchins, J.Nelson). 2-1-IND34 (1:34) D.Davis left tackle to IND 32 for 2 yards (M.Reagor). 1-10-IND32 (1:12) (Shotgun) PENALTY on HST-B.Miller, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at IND 32 - No Play. 1-15-IND37 (1:09) (Shotgun) D.Carr pass incomplete to A.Johnson (C.June). 2-15-IND37 (1:03) (Shotgun) D.Carr pass to J.Wells to IND 32 for 5 yards (R.Brock, J.Nelson). 3-10-HOU39 (:45) (Shotgun) D.Carr Aborted. S.McKinney FUMBLES at IND 39, RECOVERED by IND-R.Brock at IND 39. R.Brock to IND 39 for no gain (D.Carr). :thumbdown: They go away from Domanick and things go to #### in no time.

how long do you think they'll be able tokeep the game close?
 
in addition to focusing on a gameplan with ONLY D. Davis how long before davis either gets hurt, turns the ball over, or becomes inneffective due to conditioning and defensive play??? it IS stupid play calling

Until the opening kickoff of the second half...they just blew a good chance.
 
Is Stokley hurt or just not getting a chance to see anything
Click to expand...
I have to think he just isn't getting balls. He'll probably show up sooner or later. Remember, he's the 3rd option (at best) for the Colts. Andre Johnson is supposed to be the first option for the Texans...

I think it's amazing that they think it's possible to win this game by ONLY running the ball. Maybe they'll limit the Colts to 30 points this way, but they aren't going to win.
 
Are you slow? It's a 1 TD game at halftime, alot closer than most games have been versus Indy lately.

 
Inspired play by the Texans in the 2nd quarter - especially on D. The draw in passing situations is working especially well for Davis and the Texans. Not one pass attempted down the field - I think Capers is (too) afraid of the pass rush. They can't win without at least attempting to throw downfield at some point.

 
demain I guess you are referring to me... no I am not slow. I am merely speculating that a team with a defense as poor as the texans will not win a game against the colts by running the ball 33 times per game. Their line is not dominating, their d sucks, and they are playing the most potent offense in the league..that typically doesnt equate to a win... hence, the critism

They definitely WONT win going three and out by passing a lot. Their best option appears to be what they are doing now as evidenced by the close score at halftime. It may not be a good option or a winning option, but it's the option that allows for the most luck in beating the Colts.
 
Is houston supposed to throw the ball all game and try to keep up? Come on. Running the ball, effectively (which houston has done) will keep the indy offense off the field. Its a 7 pt game. I think houston is doing pretty well.

Wow, they are only losing by 1 TD. :wall: I'm not against running the ball to keep the clock running, but the Colts weakness is in the pass, not the run, and throwing the ball 8 a half is not going to win the game.

They are doing a great job of not losing the game by much. Very impressive.
 
What it comes down to is the fact that Indy is a better team than the Texans. That's just the way it is. When you're not as good a team as the guys you're playing, you control the ball, give it to the guy you trust not to turn it over, hope the opposing D can't stop him, and pray for turnovers you don't deserve from the other team. That's what they're doing. Right now, they're one INT returned for a TD from tying up this game.

The Colts are weak against the pass and the run.

It's only a weakness if you can exploit it. Houston may have good WRs, but their o-line is lacking. I agree, they SHOULD try to get some more big gains in the passing game, but maybe AJ is more hurt than we know.

Is there anyone who thinks Houston had a chance in this game? Running the ball is the only way they have a chance.

Yeah, well, I'm playing against DD and will lose my playoff game if they keep this up, so hopefully they'll start tossing the rock.
 
This is not exactly any real "prediction" BUT, D. Davis is probably close to being spent. He will not be as effective in the next half. I AGREE that rushing the ball and trying to force turnovers, is a good game plan..just not for this team against the colts. Trying to stretch the field is important, even an overthrow is better than not trying at all. there is alot that is going right for the texans but clearly, they are DOWN and down to the most potent offense in the game... I'd venture to guess, that the colts roll in the second half.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. Houston did everything they could in the 1st half to get lucky and didn't have much go their way in terms of the score. They needed a pick 6 or a KR TD, but they are driving now so who knows...
