Tip to Kuharsky, I get the feeling that if the Colts beat Houston in week 1, the Texans may not recover
On Sunday the Texans rested, but that doesn’t mean they were permitted to forget about the Indianapolis Colts.
“I think about them every day,” middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans said.
The Texans are nine days deep into the miseries of training camp, and that also means they are nine days closer to the most important season kickoff in their brief history. The light at the end of this tunnel looks a lot like the Wabash Cannonball. Pardon the mixed metaphor, but the NFL’s schedule makers have thrown the Texans a fastball over the middle of the plate by dispatching the AFC defending champions to Houston for the first game.
The Texans can whiff on the pitch, which has been their long-standing habit against Indianapolis — and in recent openers as well — or they can knock it out of the park. While neither result will make or break the season, the monstrous psychological implications of the outcome should be clear to everyone.
