    The Colts gave away about 45 seconds to the Texans on that drive by snapping the ball way before the clock was running out four or five times. Stupid.

    I'm a little surprised the score is so lopsided. I thought it would be closer.

    Am I on a delay again? It was 21-7 Colts with 7:59 left from here. I'm always on a delay. I hate TWC/Spectrum. Now 6:55.

    Watson has not looked good when the play is on schedule

    Colts breathe a sigh. Things were getting tight

    Looks like game over for the Texans. Hospital ball there by Watson.

    This is of course the issue with him - is he going to be Steve Young, or Michael Vick? You certainly can't say the former yet.

    Watson missed a bunch of throws, reminds me of Kaepernick. Now I see he has a gash on his pointer finger of the throwing hand.

    So that's what a good offensive line looks like.

    Drop back QBs still trump athletic mobile QBs.

    Thank the Lord for Sam.

    All my fears about DeShaun Watson from the draft were confirmed today

    He's had outstanding regular season success, but today he was flustered, confused, inaccurate. Today he was like a pitcher who didn't have good stuff.

    Watson is a guy you don't want trying to fit the ball into tight windows. Luck can. He can't

    Chiefs season ends next week. New England might end up with a home game in the Championship game. Its not what I want but right now I don't like the Chiefs chances or the way they closed the season.

    What I love about our thicc coastal trunky kid is that he can be either or. He can be a pocket passer and make all the throws accurately all game, and he's very athletic and difficult to bring down. Plus he's got rare god given talent for throwing accurately on the run

    I still wonder why the jets didn’t draft Watson, the dude can flat out play the game. He just ran into a hot colts team thats been playing lights out for the last 2+ months.

    I honestly can see them going to the super bowl. Their offense line is really gd & their defense is beasting it too. U throw in their Rb Mack whose running the football really well over the last 2 months too.



    I’m pulling for them in the AFC.

    I'm thinking the opposite. The Chiefs will beat the Colts, and then the Chargers/Ravens will beat the Patriots. I'm thinking Chargers-Chiefs title game and we know that game could go either way!

    I think the Chargers will beat New England if they win tomorrow. I picked 3 of the 4 wild cards to win this weekend, they are all very good teams.

    The Chiefs are flawed, the defense is bad, so I see the Colts scoring on them at will. I think Mahomes continues his losing against good teams. Probably the most exciting game next weekend, should be good.

    They fit the mold of the type of team that goes on the Cinderella run. Their defense is playing decent and they have a QB that hasn't won the title. Kinda similar to the Packers in 2010....However in recent years the wild cards haven't done well, and the teams with the bye have been ultra-successful. The Patriots and Chiefs are there for the taking, I dont think either are playing good ball going into the postseason.

    He's extremely mobile and athletic but I don't think anyone is comparing him to some of the RPO guys. I think he's going to make his living by passing from the pocket or creating on the move but he's not going to be a running QB.
