They looked great today, but I don't know if that was more of an indictment on the Colts offense without Manning.

Any thoughts?

Not to that same level no. I do think they are a good defense for this season though. They have a new coordinator and seem to have the ability to put a lot of pressure on QB's. Their division is complete garbage without Peyton Manning (5 games total there), plus they also have games against Cleveland and Miami.

So I don't think they are a start every week level defense, but a good part of a committee.

That's what I'm debating; whether to drop my WR5 Jordy Nelson to pick them up to pair with NYG.

Looks like it could pay dividends during the playoffs just based on that schedule.

Let us help you out. The rest of the non-Texan homer world knows fully that it was more of an indictment on the Colts offense without Manning.

They played a team that just lost their General, one of the greatest Qb's we've seen in the last 20 years. With that said, I had Houston as one of my sleepers for the season, as the addition of Wade Phillips as D Coordinator was a big boost, he's actually a quality defensive coach. So heading into a game like this, the writing was kind of on the wall, at least potentially.

Houston is a team to certainly play as a Defense by committee.
