No entiendo.

I tried to tell a couple co-workers, the Colts are not to be taken lightly.

Browns149

Houston’s defense is terrible

And Andrew Luck is really good

not a good recipe for the Texans

Colts 21-0 already

Texans defense isn't terrible... Colts Oline is handling the rush and passing off protections/stunts very well. Plus Luck has some legs so it makes it that much harder.

Justin Reid & Clowney both are FA's.. both going down in same drive. ouch! 21-zip

Justin Reid is a rookie there, champ.

They look terrible right now

they only stopped the colts 1 time on a tipped ball interception

the colts haven’t punted yet

deleted, not sure how i did that .. loved the kid playing at stanford. Luck is picking on these short CB's.. high in the strike zone

tiamat63

Deshaun Watson is looking like Marcus Mariota in the pocket.

gumby73

while Andrew Luck stays on the balls of his feet like Johnny U...

Nero

This is not looking good for the Texans. They have to make huge adjustments if they want to stay in the game.

gumby73

Desir looks to have grown over a inch in height & 2 inches in arm length..

gumby73

Clear picture..We should have gotten after Texans OL.Colts have rarely blitzed.Watson can only run out that crumpling pocket..Luck at times, could sit in pocket 3-4 full seconds..a smart running QB too

flyingfooldoug

And that’s why the Colts are dangerous. The QB with a hot hand. Probably the same tomorrow. Rivers and Lamer. Rivers has the hot hand there. Homeless and hunger will be motivators too

Nero

So what do you guys think of Deshaun Watson? I'd call him Black Tankerton.

gumby73

can anything go right in Houston? fumble?..

Nero

Here comes the most stupid rule IMO of the NFL rulebook: a fumble in the endzone is a touchback for the opposite team...

Let's see how the review goes.

Not at all stupid. What is dumb is the NFL's inability to pinpoint what constitutes as 'control'.

Honest question: tell me why it is not stupid. I get that it would lead to trickery, but losing the ball equals giving the ball to the other team?

Mostly the trickery. But it's the same application of a touchback, except the change in possession. Point being it doesn't allow you to fumble the ball foreward into the endzone and be rewarded for it.

In a league that favors the offense heavily, any rule that gives the defense and ST a chance is cool with me.

I get it, but many times you're likely to fumble the ball trying to reach forward in an ''honest'' play. Maybe it could be ruled against the offense and punish them with some yards, but the change of possesion is way too much in my opinion.
