    Because they keep going to the damn run, and these stupid plays to Brown.

    Sucks they aren't showing this game here....

    They could have had more!

    They've wasted at least 4 drives with either trying to force the run up the middle or with reverses.

    They shouldn't have had to punt today if the play-calling was what it should have been.

    I'd punt. You know the texans will run, run, pass and then you'll get the ball back.

    smith has done fairly well.

    not worth his contract.

    but let a man celebrate a play, sheesh.

    It's obviously enough for a 2 possession lead.

    A run on 1st down actually worked.

    Followed by another successful run.

    Nice but surprising.

    I acknowledge the problems in the red zone, but they have been moving the ball. and they're doing it with no running game. the running game is killing them in the red zone. if i were an nfl coach I would hesitate to throw on 1st and 7, the defense doesn't have that much to cover. you have to keep them honest.

    Another 1st down will seal it.

    Either way, only a massive mistake could hurt us now.

    Miami is threatening to tie it up. They need 8 from the Tenn 11 yd line.

    I think this was the only game on the schedule that had the potential to cost Kubiak his job.

    I think it is official now, Gary Kubiak will be the Texans head coach in 2010.

    The running game is virtually nonexistent for the Colts as well. But they still get their points in (and they have Clark), even though some of their wins are through the ineptitude of opposing kickers. I understand you have to keep the D honest by running especially within the 20, but this whole thing of turning into Jack Del Rio in the redzone and calling up magicians plays is unacceptable. This is the 2nd time off the top of my head where AJ gets us knocking on the door, only to be rewarded with no looks, no corner fade, but instead sees 2-3 running plays or WR screens to your 3rd or 4th option receiver.
