Colts 58 (1 safety) Texans 3 (1 garbage time FG) Offense: 6 TO, 2 in Texans territory, 1 beyond the Colts 20 3 sacks (with 2 fumbles ) 2 ridiculous penalties 1 safety 70 yards rushing, 40 of which come on the last garbage time FG drive 2-for-9 3rd down conversion (2 of these are due to INT, 2 due to fumble) 0-for-2 4th down conversion Special Teams: 1 Jacoby Jones 5-yd return from the 1-yard line on a 30-yard punt that should have been a touchback 3 punts, average is 45 yards 1 FG in garbage time Defense: 1 boatload of tackles, you know, from being on the field all damn game 8 touchdowns, partly because they freaking suck, partly because they're exhausted from being on the field, and partly because 3 times Rosenfumble gives them an incredibly short field Texans: 0 baby steps
Sage goes down, newly signed QB comes in and leads an awe-inspiring performance of suckatude that makes us wish for a Sage-4INTS-Rosenfails speedy recovery. Hou - 9 Indy - 37
I think we will "shock the world" and upset the Colts. Sage played great against them until the end. Their defense is nowhere close to the Ravens or Steelers. They just beat Pittsburgh and will probably be very cocky, and think they can beat us just by showing up. Texans 34 Colts 24
Colts 31 Texans 27 repeat of what happened here in Houston. Texans are up throughout most of the game including the fourth quarter until Rosen-fails makes some incredibly stupid plays. He'll either fumble the ball, throw an interception, or do his best John Elway impression... helicopter and suspend himself in the air and fumble the ball to ensure a Colts comeback. Seriously though, I don't see the Texans winning another game this season. Maybe at Oakland.
Another divisional game for the Texans. They're 4-11 in divisional games under the Kubiak era. If they have any hope to make some noise in the NFL the Texans must win their divisional games. On paper this game isn't even close. Lucky for us this game won't be played on paper, but rather on FieldTurf. Therefore, I will predict a Texans win like I always do. Texans 31 Colts 13 Btw, Gus Johnson and Steve Tasker will call the game for CBS.
Oakland and Cleveland on the road are plausible. Jax at home is plausible. The rest would be upsets. I expect us to finish with 5 or 6 wins, after predicting 7 before the season. Game prediction for Colts: I see us going uber-conservative as an overreaction to the team problems. We attempt to grind everything out and Sage is given the David Carr 2006 dink-dink-dink passing orders. Colts 28 Texans 12 Evan
Just to clarify here... there will be 7 failed 3rd down attempts as follows: 4 end the possession on turnovers 1 results in a field goal 2 result in attempted 4th downs that fail But we still have 3 punts - which means we must be punting on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd down. That does sound very much like something the Texans would do!
Steve Slaton gets 30 touches this week, with 2 20+ carries for touchdowns. He also scores a touchdown from a 'no possible way to intercept dink n dunk.' Kris Brown with a FG to win. 27-24.
sage trying to exorcise his demons? riiiight I'm taking Indy in Survivor this week Indy wins 34-20 (garbage time TD to make it close)
I bet the Colts are licking their chops for another shot at Sage. I do hope the Texans can find a way to pull together a pull one off in Indy. Kubiak needs it in the worst way.
You know how in scary movies, the idiot girl always goes into the basement by herself, and you just know she's gonna get her guts splattered all over the place? Yeah, the Texans are that girl.
