What are they doing?

Now was that so hard?

Limit Rivers’s possessions?

All good now?

Colts couldn’t have played any better and they’re down by 4 at the half

Wow, what a turn of events

Well, they did call both those passes to Davis in bounds

Pass interference please

Have we had three 3-and-outs in a game this season?

Correct

This looks like a disaster in the making

Well, at least we won’t have to worry about losing Daboll...

Wtf??

Awesome

Great drive start again

Bass needs to kick the damn ball through the end zone

Great kick. Hines is a dangerous punt returner.

I agree with what you're saying here, but we did not trade two number 1s for Diggs. This is the second time you've said this...

Agree with all this. Here's another thing to think about: Watson is not some loose cannon knucklehead like Cam Newton; he is highly respected and by all accounts, a great guy and an ultimate team guy. If the Texans screw over a guy like Watson, it makes them look even worse than they already do.

Nobody believes in us: Colts had 4 players selected!

Well, the status quo is not acceptable. They just hired a new GM who has literally nothing to work with other than a (disgruntled) franchise QB who got them three wins this past season. They could get both the Jets' first rounders, plus one of their seconds, plus Darnold, who at least gives them something to work with at QB. Then maybe they trade down from the second overall pick and get even more premium picks. Risky, yes, but their current situation is untenable.

Fair enough, but you're talking about two more years in the wilderness with an unhappy franchise QB who has a limited number of years of high productivity, who's not very big, and who has taken quite a beating in his first four years in the league. I think Watson has the ability to force their hand, if he wants to.

If the Texans don’t make that trade, how do the next couple years look for them? Do you think Deshaun Watson will still be in one piece when they finally get out of the hole BoB dug for them? I think they need to do something radical to change the trajectory of the franchise...

Yeah, I think that’s the asking price. Could be a good trade for both teams. The Jets haven’t had a qb in forever and the Texans are going nowhere fast with their current roster, no cap room, and no draft picks. It’s a huge risk, but the payoff could be huge, too.

Not crazy at all. I also think the Phins would make sense, for the reasons you stated. What I’m not sure of is the salary cap implications for Texans if they trade Watson. Does trading him give them much relief? If they can get back three 1s and get a bunch of cap relief, it’s risk worth taking, I think.
