Delayed for a reason: Great game, Texans fans

Ok, I figured I'd hold off for a few days in case you folks were frothing mad over the game. I didn't want to be a jerk and come in here and say, "hey, great game guys!" when really I'm sure all of you feel the Colts stole the game. I will say this, and I do sincerely mean it:

The Texans are a very good up-and-coming team.

This year, for whatever reason, they've been hit with rotten luck. Lots of teams have. San Diego, the favorite for most pundits, is 2-3 and just lost to the friggin Dolphins. The Jagurs really should be 0-5. If not for horrible officiating in their game against my team and yours, they lose those games. Bad calls gave them 2 wins. Bad calls, a hurricane, inconsistent play, and the flu gave you guys 4 loses. 

Please let it be known that your team is now feared. Your front 4 is very good. You have a great young RB. Schuab, when healthy, is effective. And it seems your front office and your coaches are on the same page. It might not seem like much right now, but this organization is in much better shape now than 4 years ago, or even last year.

Hang in there.

We Colts fans fear your team more so than Tennessee or Jacksonville. The Jagurs are a shell of their former felves, and the Titans have the #2 overall pick in the 2006 draft sitting on their bench because he stinks. Know we like and respect your team. Know that, each and every year, it gets harder and harder to beat them. This year, it took 4:45 minutes of miracle.

Hang in there. You have a good team. I know you know this, but sometimes the "bad guys" need to put things into perspective for you. I am not looking forward to Week 11. Your boys will be looking for payback.

Go Colts!

Do you planning on fearing Tennessee more...

After we kick the crap out of the Colts week #7 on Monday Primetime?

Your lack of respect for the best team in the division is deluded, and frankly, annoying.

And you're awfully arrogant for a guy

whose team failed to win the conference after making the playoffs in 1999,2000,2002,2003,2004,2005 and 2007. Good god, why are the Colts so ineffective in the playoffs? It’s a good thing Rex Grossman gift-wrapped that SuperBowl for the Colts just like Rosenfels gift-wrapped the win last Sunday in Houston., because if Sexy Rexy hadn’t laid that egg…

And let’s not forget the obvious. You’re 2-2 on paper, but you know deep down you’re not really a .500 team. Imagine that… How the mighty colts have fallen.

Why is your team so ineffective

at getting to the playoffs period?

Thanks, BBS

Doesn’t change the fact that I’m a shell of the man I was before Sunday, but your kind words are appreciated.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Second the thanks

Appreciate the class you and your fellow BBS posters have shown.

Obviously I can’t agree with the idea that this was a good game. It pretty much sucked.

Hope we can pay you guys back next time around.

Thanks

That game was the equivalent of a swift kick to the nuts… You know that feeling you get in your gut after you’ve taken a shot in the fellas? Yeah… it’s been like that.

I gotta say

It hurts to win a game… then in the dying moments giftwrap the mofo on a silver platter for a team that has already lost. I have nothing but sympathy for the Texans.

Sorry Solis, I know how much it hurts, the Titans have also been the worst team in the division before. In fact, in 2006, we went 0-5 to start the season, and ended up 8-8. So take some comfort in that, you have a chance to salvage your season.

Appreciate the encouragement Frijoles...

For this team to claw its way back to .500 would be something to cheer about. Here’s hoping the Texans take a page out of the Astros playbook and make a strong run down the stretch.

I won't say the

FormerOilers are overrated, I mean, they are undefeated, and Collins’ career has come back from life support to play well for them, and their defense is very, very stout, even with guys who have names like Courtland Finnegan. What? That’s a name only a british soccerfan could love.

By the time the Titans and Texans play again, things will be different, hopefully, and we will win that one.
