Based on the stats we stack up pretty well against the Texans. Both teams will be playing full force, so hopefully we get that playoff atmosphere. With the way Luck responds to pressure, i think he will really shine in that atmosphere.

I also wanted to add that the middle of the offensive line needs to be stout. As long as the middle of the pocket is strong and our Tackles force their Ends to the outside, Luck will have somewhere to step up to throw/run.

We need to do to the Texans what other teams did to us for years, Run Straight up the gut and inside draws out of passing formations on some passing downs and let their ends get as far up the field as possible on passing plays. When we have that established we can go to the play action over the top and slants to the middle. Their secondary is the weakest part of their defense thats what we should attack. Throwing quick screens/slants and running to the edges will get us in trouble.

Luck needs to show his versatility in the passing game on sunday.

I will be at the Oil Drum for this one. Glad to see the starters are playing. If we could somehow play and beat the Ravens and then get a 3rd game against HOU in the playoffs I think that would be our best chance for success.

Hopefully Conner returns this week.

always kind of been a colts fan. my next door neighbor i grew up with married bob sanders so got to go to a few games on him and have always liked peyton manning (now love haha) and since you guys were loving enough to send pfm our way this offseason, would you please beat the texans and help us get the top seed

I Would love to see the colts win sunday and I would love to see Denver get the #1 seed. I may be a colts fan but I'll always be a Manning fan. I still think you guys are the favorites and I'd be happy to see Manning lead your team to the SB and win. The colts are at least 1-2 seasons away from being an elite team so in the meantime why not have my favorite player of all time win another ring or two. I have a feeling there will be plenty of chances for the colts over the next 10 plus years but they aren't quite there this year. The whole offense is basically rookies and while they've grown together this year they've yet to even come close to their true potential. If they get Luck some protection next season they'll be a lot harder to beat. But yes I hope they win and good luck to you team.

I pray for health this week. Let's go Colts.

thanks bud! I also am quite fond of stanford qb's that indy drafts myself for some reason... cant think of why haha so I am pulling for luck to be fantastic! Hopefully the second best qb in his draft class! behind brock osweiler of course haha but for real, love me some luck and colts

Osweiler is one massive dude, If he's smart he'll be patient and realize how lucky he is to be under Manning for few seasons and it won't hurt to have MR Elway to learn from as well. Two of the best QB's to ever put on a uniform is a really great position to be in.
