And we all know how bad our defense is. If they can't force the Colts to punt and a turnover, then all bets are off.

But the big thing they have to do, and it's an absolute must. Tackle. Cannot afford missed tackles. Houston had a bunch of that today. That bit them in the ass when Indianapolis went up 21-0.

Offense went slightly off after Hunt's debacle and some top 10 defenses more than Watkins. Watkins will be nice to have back, but we are starting to gel again after having one of the best RB's in the league bounce himself from the team...

Yeah, but Watkins is key to this offense as well, because then it forces defenses to be more honest instead of rotating covers to Kelce or Tyreek. As a defensive coordinator, Kelvin Benjamin doesn't scare me. Chris Conley doesn't scare me. Robinson.... maybe, depending on which Robinson shows up.

Also, I will be curious to see what kind of a game plan Andy and his staff is going to put together. If they go sideways too much......

It's also going to be interesting to see what the Colts do. Today they played very conservatively and kept everything in front of them. Watson really couldn't take advantage of it. Will they try to do it again next week and try to prevent big plays? If so, Mahomes will have to be patient.
