Luck and the Colts just did something we couldn't do - beat Detroit in regulation.
We are gonna have problems with them, this year. No way we sweep them.

No way? Really? I could see us dropping a game, especially if we don't need the last one, but you really think there's no way we beat these guys twice? We are the clearly better team.

I don't see us beating them in Indy later this month, but hopefully it will be because we don't need the game to improve our playoff seed position and are therefor resting starters. BTW, thanks to the Steelers for helping us today.

Early line on Texans vs. Patriots is Patriots favored by 4.5.....

Tania Ganguli of the Houston Chronicle just tweeted:

#Texans CB Brice McCain had surgery this morning to repair his broken foot. He'll be out about 6 weeks, per a person familiar w/injury.

BUMMER!

Update - In his presser, Kubiak said he is designated to return, but that is an 8 wk. deal.

John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) tweeted:
With CB Brice McCain designated 2 return, he must miss 6 weeks and then practice for 2 more weeks. That means he could return for Super Bowl

now, there is definitely a chance that the colts take one of the game against the texans, but y'all are talking like they are one of the best teams in the nfl. sure they have a good record, but they are not some juggernaught. and looking at their win in regulation and saying that the texans couldn't that, and somehow saying that is a reason for concern is just not using your brain. first, the lions traditionally play well on thanksgiving. second, our kicker missed a fg that should have ended it in regulation. third, the texans were coming off less than 4 days rest from an overtime game and were the first team in nfl history to win two games in those circumstances.

so while the colts may well win a game against the texans, but let's hold off the doom and gloom for a little bit.

Of course luck and colts are exceeding expectations but they also lost four games including to three teams texans have beaten - Jaguars, Bears, and Jets.

So likely Texans are a little better overall.

good win today, nice tp see Texans get six turnovers and hold Titans to only 10 points.
