The Colts are due for a down game. Texans 35 Colts 31. If the Colts don't have a down game, it might get ugly quick.
As good a chance as ever for the 1st victory in Indy. Texans aren't going to go 0-forever there. This game means a lot more to the Texans than the Colts and I think it will show on the field. Texans 38 Colts 24
it's going to be a great game to watch. can't wait. i feel it. texans 31 - colts 20 if the texans win it, i don't think the game is going to be close... if our lead is under 7 points, that means peyton would have a chance to bring them back, which he pretty much always does.. so texans by 11, and no chance of a comeback.
I feel really good about this one. I don't think the colts are going to go undefeated on the season. I agree that we're one of the likely losses. I think we'll split the series. I also think we're better than our record shows. The fact that its a division game makes me feel good. Plus we owe them for the gimme we gave them last year. Don't be surprised if Schaub has a better day than Manning. Really looking forward to this one.
Obviously, we need this game much more than them. Going into the bye-week at 6-3 would be so sweet considering that we started 2-3.
Realistically I think we split the divisional games. If we have to lose to Indy once, I'd prefer it be an away game, with a following bye week to regroup. But it would be great to take the wind out of their sails coming fresh off their bye, especially if it could swing the momentum for followup losses to the patriots and the ravens. Somewhere in the 30s, we win by field goal. GO TEXANS
I don't think we can overcome the loss of Owen Daniels, and get the rest of our personnel adjustments ready in time for the offense to be comfortable this Sunday. I think Dallas Clark rips us a new one much like Vernon Davis did, and ends up killing us at the end of the game. I see this being a close affair, but in the end, the Texans just don't have the goods to win IN Indy. Colts : 31 Texans : 24
I believe we're going to see a slow start from the Texans. Falling behind by 14pts. But in the last few minutes of the 2nd quarter they start to show some life. And in the 2nd half, they come out guns a blazing, and go on 24 unanswered points.
Pessimism, eh? C'mon, man... it's inside the dome. No air. He once made 3 field goals of 54 or more... yet you don't think he can hit one OVER 57? You don't think so? I have confidence in my team's kicker. Don't YOU?
Hopefully it won't come down to making a 57 + yarder to win the game. If we are in a position to win or tie, I would much rather prefer a shorter FG.
No better way to get the NFL to take notice than marching into Indianapolis and laying a loss on the undefeated Colts. No OD no problem. Look for Kevin Walter to be the go to guy on crossing patterns from here on out. Manning will have the ball at the end of the game but he will find it hard to reach the end zone this time as the Texans defense clamps down hard. Texans 24 Colts 18
This is the biggest game in Texans franchise history, and our squad is going to know it. For us, we have a chance to be at 6 and 3 going into the bye week to get prepared for Tennessee. For them, they're coming off a game in which they looked a little flat, and just survived. Their only motivation is to beat a division rival. If we come out with a ton of intensity, I think we can overcome not having our two tight ends. Schaub has to be sharp and on point, though. Whoever gets the carries on the ground has to have a great game also. At least duplicate what we had at Buffalo. If all this happens, I say Texans 24 Colts 20 Peyton Manning leads the Colts down field with a minute left, but is picked off by Cushing. Cushing then dropkicks Peyton in the face and shoves the ball into his face mask. He walks off the field, happy, as the ref calls an unsportsmanlike penalty, which Texans fans everywhere celebrate. Peyton Manning cries at the press conference. Cushing ends the game with 12 safeties (surprisingly, this is how we score our 24 points), two interceptions, 28 tackles, and three sacks. Vince Young, live on Monday Night Football, runs a naked bootleg, where he takes off his Titans jersey, in the middle of the play. When the jersey comes off, Young has a Texans jersey on underneath, and turns and runs toward his own end zone where he stops at the one, and hands Brian Cushing the ball. Cushing scores, sparing Young a devastating blow, in the form of a sack. Cushing then pulls Rick Smith and Bob McNair out of each sock, respectively. The two proceed to sign Vince Young, right then and there. DaDakota swoons. Tom Brady, fearing Bernard Pollard, in the last week of the season, refuses to play more than one play, a kneel-down to start the game. Refusing to respect Brady's inner Gisele, Bellichick berates Brady, until he cries, reminding Bellichick that he, Brady, is the one dating a supermodel, and Bellichick, aka The Hobbit would be lucky to woo Nanny McPhee. The Patriots self-destruct as they prepare for a re-match showdown with the Texans in the playoffs. We once again destroy the Brady-less Patriots. Brady goes on to lose his first-round for sure hall of fame reputation. He ends up selling prescription pills to his back-up quarterback at West New England A&M university, where he is the quarterbacks coach. We go on to end the season at 13 and 5 with the best record in the league. We end up in the Super Bowl, playing the Saints. Our defense shows up, as does our offense, as we hang 56 points to their Goose-egg. Yes, we end up with Cougar-like offensive stats. They look like Prarie View A & M of 7 years ago (roughly). In the final, most memorable play of the game, Matt Schaub avoids all 11 defenders on the Saints, and then launches a pass 80 yards in the air that is then caught by......Owen Daniels. Daniels then reveals that he has not actually been hurt at all. He's just been sitting out, because he knew his team didn't need him to win the Super Bowl. He also says that he knew that by not playing, he would be signed to a smaller contract, which would in turn allow his team to keep all of its young talent together. DaDakota wakes up, proclaiming that Matt Schaub is at best an average quarterback, and we couldn't have done any of this without Owen Daniels. AND IT ALL STARTS THIS WEEK BABY!!!
