The texans are paper tigers. I am a fan but they will not see play time in february and neither will the colts. I see the colts losing at home by a point or two. Who will play all four quarters on both teams will be known on game day.

Only one COLTS.
Just making it to the playoffs is more than any colts fan would have dreamed , maybe winning 5 games this year.
We can play with the rest of them and lose to the rest of them. But you can not say anything bad about making it to the playoffs with only what 4 guys on the team that was on the team last year, give me a break.
Can we beat the Ravens who knows, they didn’t think we would beat the packers, but with out Ed and Ray that teams nothing, this I know, the Colts are in the playoffs and a lot of teams aren’t. And I will cheer them on and hope that the first round, the broncos play the ravens, just to shut them up

They would be crazy to play their starters in this game – it means absolutely nothing in the long run. They’ll still be the 5th seed, they’re 99% sure to play the Ravens IN Baltimore, and I don’t really think the players care about whether or not they’re undefeated at home against the Texans. The Texans need this game desperately – they’re tired, banged up, not playing well, and they need that first round bye more than playing at home. If they lose, they’re almost guaranteed to play the first round against the Bengals – who are far better than last year’s version.

In any case, Wayne wants to play them because he had such a poor outing the last time they played, so it’s understandable why he’s motivated. But as the oldest guy on the team he knows what’s more important in the long run – being healthy and doing well in the playoffs.

The Colts have NO run defense…The Ravens will rush for 200 yards AGAIN and Luck will be watching from the bench most of the time.

————————-

In case you forgot, they were last in the league in run defense the year they won the superbowl too. The jags gashed them for like 375 yds rushing towards the end of the season that year IIRC. Oh and I do believe they knocked out your superbowl favorite Ravens at home on the way to that trophy as well. Go Colts!

If the Maryland politicians had built a stadium for Irsay like they did for Modell, instead of trying to steal Irsay’s property, the Colts would still be in Baltimore.

Pagano was named to John Harbaugh’s initial coaching staff with the Baltimore Ravens on February 12, 2008.[1] He served as defensive secondary coach for three seasons. He was promoted to Defensive Coordinator on January 18, 2011, succeeding Greg Mattison who accepted a similar position at the University of Michigan.[2] Pagano’s defense finished 3rd in both points allowed and in yards allowed. They finished 13 in takeaways and 2nd Rush yards allowed, but Baltimore’s defense has always been known for its ability to stop the run. Pagano drastically improved the pass defense going from 21 in passing yards allowed to 4th. They improved from 9th in passing touchdowns allowed to 1st in the league. The defense also came away with 17 interceptions. Pagano is known for his ability in secondary and ability to stop opposing teams pass attack.

Robert Irsay didn’t “steal” the Colts. The Irsay family “own” the Colts. How can u steal something that you own? If I move to a new house am I stealing my bed?

Your almighty Raven team of today is actually the Browns. How conveniently Ravens fans forget that fact all the time…all the while bashing the Colts and the Irsay family for doing the same thing they did. Think first…then post. Always in that order friend…never backwards.

The PATRIOTS had the easiest (weakest) schedule this season. But go ahead, keep hating on a team that fought tooth and nail to EARN a playoff spot. Better luck next time Steeler and Jets fans.

Yeah the Colts need a big NT and maybe a star DE in a 3-4 but they dont ans have won in spite of that horrible D. This offense puts up points, thats their identity as a team. Its come up in the clutch on offense and they are the best clutch team in the NFL this year. And btw the Ravens barely run the ball and Flacco is playing horrible due to all that pressure on his shoulders. That D is nothing without Ray. Ed Reed lost a stepa and tbey have major holes in that secondary. So that game would be strength vs weakness and both sides of the ball.

Ex Raven castoffs get nowhere.

What these rookies have done for their teams is impressive to say the least. Rg3 is as electric and exciting as any qb to ever play. Wilsons story is awesome. Draft stock dropped because everybody thought he was too small for the nfl. He falls to the 3rd round, earns the start, and shuts everyone up. And Luck…jeez. Lucks numbers might not be as impressive as the other 2…but Luck has done what he’s done with no running game, therefore no play action, and a defense that’s ranked under 25 in every category, a horrible offensive line, a team comprised of mostly patchwork players and rookies, during a defensive scheme change, a coach with cancer…forcing his OC to take over…all while missing the 1st 3 months of rookie camp cause he had 2 graduate. Just saying…nobody can say the kid didn’t earn his playoff spot…schedule be damned.

I am impressed by the Seahawks rookie as well. Colts and Seahawks have tasted sucess recently but my Skins have been in the dumpster far too long. If you throw the numbers out of the window and see what kind of impact each QB has had on their team. You will know hands down that Robert Griffin the 3rd is this years rookie of the year. Now if you want to bring numbers into the equation then he still blows Luck and Wilson out of the water. These 3 will be compared from here on out but this year belongs to my QB. Colts had the easiest schedule and Wilson has been gifted stout defense with the number 2 rusher in the league. My vote would be RG3, Luck and then Wilson. I would take Luck over Wilson because he did it without any help from his defense. 2012 was huge year for these 3 and hopefully RG3 takes his team to the playoffs to join the only rookie class ever to take their teams to the playoffs. Congrats to the Colts, Seahawks and my beloved Skins.

The Colts played KC and Cleveland, Houston played Baltimore and Denver. The other 14 games were the same.

Even if they would have played the 1st place schedule, at most they would have 2 more losses. In that case they would still be leading Pittsburg for the last playoff spot.

They didn’t make the schedule and they’ve earned every single one of those wins, and honestly how can you not root for this team? Not just the Chuckstrong storyline but seeing guys like Wayne and Mathis taking hometown discounts to keep the Colts tradition going from the Manning era to Luck.

Merry Christmas to everybody on here btw

EVERY season, because of scheduling, a team arises from the depth of despair from the season before to qualify for the next season’s postseason. Check out this season’s Vikings. They won three games last sesason.
Cinderella Stories are a dime a dozen in the medocre NFL.

Colts beat Packers and Vikings. They won every game that they were “supposed” to win with the exception of JAX. Who deserves to be in over them? the Dolphins? Colts beat them. or the Steelers? they had every opportunity to make it.
Stop hating. the future is bright for a team that won 2 games last year

Sort of like the 72 Dolphins were the worst 17 – 0 team in NFL history. There have been so many 10-win teams in NFL history that your comment reeks of disdain, if not hatred, instead of objectivity. Try again with some reason and facts.

It’ll be a good test and makes for a long, bright future for those of us who can appreciate good games (even if our teams.. like Buffalo for me) don’t make it to the playoffs… or even put up much of a fight during the regular season.

We could, potentially, see 2 high quality rookie QBs squaring off in the Super Bowl… how can ya NOT love that???
