    Things to remember. We play well down the stretch and we've shown we can beat almost anyone (the saints are the one team I'm not sure about). This loss to indy stings more than the others, especially considering the Cards and Jags games. I honestly see us beating the colts by a big margin in three weeks. The t*** are finally starting to play, but with a bye and a home game right after, I think we send a message. As disappointing as the season has been in many respects, I see us having a strong second half. The games may be a microcosm of the season. That could be nice.

    Looking forward to the rest of the season. This sting should push them to playing whole games and that could get us into the playoffs.

    we couldnt have asked for a better scenario with all their injuries and we still couldnt pull out the win.

    Well next game I hope Peyton is out for the game. :rolleyes:

    I think a lot of you guys are omitting the fact that by the time we play NE there is a good chance they could be resting their starters for the Playoffs.

    The remaining schedule looks pretty favorable.

    Im confident we will have a winning season, but from watching other teams we have a bit more to go before we become a polished contender.

    We didn't win, no $#!+. Do you honestly believe though that the colts looked like the better team yesterday? Don't give me the score, we've established that. We looked better and shot ourselves in the foot. That was on their field.

    Maybe I'm optimistic, but I don't see the unsurpassable gap between the quality of the two teams. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

    How in the heck the Colts did not win that game 38-10 is beyond me. If you look at the TOs, penalties, and other blunders I am amazed we even had a chance on the last possession. If the Colts were a 6-3 team or 5-4 team like us, then you could say the injuries of the colts should have been the difference. Dont forget number 81 for the Texans sitting out the remainder of the season too.

    Well, see here is another scenario. Lets say the Texans only have one turnover, and only 6 penalties. If the scoreboard still says the same thing at the end of the day, WITH the Colts injuries, then there is reason for concern.

    Yes, but there is still reason for concern because they keep finding ways to lose. Three games ending the way they did is too many. Maybe I'm wrong though and they're just proving they can beat anyone without doing it. Maybe they're just waiting to come out of thye bye and run the table. Who knows with these guys.

    That would be the best bet
    but
    Losses against Indy and NE would not be ridiculous
    but
    I worry they will trip over themselves in one or two other games

    No, I know, but it would be nice for them to use this time to figure out how to play good football for an entire game. If they could do that, we really could beat anyone. Its pretty hard to look at this team and see their record at 5-4.
