Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Tonight's Game

the way to win this game is to control it from the start. Our offense can do that by pounding the ball w/ Foster/Ward and going underneath and up the seam with OD. Doing that successfully will open opportunities for big plays to Dre and KDUB. The run attack also keeps Peigh-Tons’a’forehead off the field which is always crucial. If we can avoid giving up the big play on defense it will allow us to operate how WE WANT TO operate on the offensive side of the ball and we can win this thing and look good doing it. LETS GO TEXANS!! THIS IS THE LONGEST MONDAY EVAH!!!

Even with manning I think they are missing too much on offense, and I think coming out of the bye and facing the colts the D line is fired up enough to make a difference.

Both times we’ve beaten the Colts, its been because of the running game. We’ve got to do that again.

I think Arian Foster will have another huge game. The colts putting a target on him is practically like us putting a target on Reggie Wayne…

But my gut is telling me that will be a hard goal to meet

First sweep of Colts in team history? YES.

Texans 34
Colts 28

Play four quarters. They play 60 minutes we win. They play two and this game was a blowout. We’ll see what happens but after two weeks of rest they better come out firing on all cylinders.

Interestin tidbit from the Mothership:

Coach Gary Kubiak said defensive end Mark Anderson is likely to play a significant role for the first time against the Colts with Earl Mitchell (ankle) and Jesse Nading (knee) listed as doubtful after they were unable to practice last week.
Anderson, previously with the Bears, “has speed and he can rush a passer,” Kubiak said. “He’s going to help (coordinator) Joe (Marciano) on special teams, too. This is our third week we’ve had him now, so hopefully we’ll get more out of him.”

Cush gets a pick and fumble/sack…Mario 2 sacks and fumble recovery…K Jackson turns around and pick six (it could happen). Bonecrusher Pollard will still have 10 tackles, but knocks out Wayne and we hear this again tonight.

Houston 31 – Indianapolis 27

The Texans will run for 163 yards and control the game again.

I went 38-31. Well, if we’re wrong, Tim, at least we’ve given the unwashed masses a reason to riot. How does Rio sound?

then run it some more

has always been keeping that QB on the sidelines. The only way to effectively do that, is run the ball and pass underneath but in bounds to burn the clock. Time management will be the golden rule for Kubiak and Schaub tonight.

There is a reasonably good chance of running the ball since they are still not the best rush defense if we can dominate the line of scrimmage and Foster/Ward hammer into the second level often enough to keep the chains moving. Add in some torch shots down the middle since both safeties (OMG Bob Sanders) are out this game to keep the defense honest and some play action tosses underneath and we have a chance.

On defense, either get the pass rush going to get Manning frustrated or the D-line needs to get their hands up early and often to create havoc on throwing lanes and maybe a few tipped balls for INTs. The rest will be left up to the fans laying down heavy prayers and bleach.

If they show up tonight: Texans 34, Colts 31
If they sleep walk at all: Texans 17, Colts 45

then run it some more

Texans win that, they win the game. You can’t give that offense a single possession more than they’ve earned.

PS: Tonight is the night for an onside kick, Gary.

which always makes Monday a wonderful day at work.

Texans BETTER fucking win tonight!

HOU 31 IND 23

That this game is the biggest in franchise history?

Todd Haley said about our game last week: It was a bigger win for their team than loss.

Thats how I feel about this week for us. We are supposed to lose. We already took care of business at our house. The Colts are 0-2 in the division and need this game a lot more than we do.

A win, however, puts us in the lead in the division, sweeping the Colts, etc.

Todd Haley’s team lost that game, so maybe I need to try another theory.

I can only hope that the players only meeting lights a fire in the Defense

Because regardless of personnel we are going to need at least one miracle to be 5-head. without him the colts are nothing.

I say Texans Win 39-33. (Ill give you two guesses why I think that) Btw, just to make it interesting. Crabtree Andre! Pulls Fraay! And Touchdown Red Rai—- ohh Texans! With a second to go! If you didn’t notice, I am a firm believer in History repeating itself. Am i too bold on this one?

But like the Texans, I won’t allow that to be the final word.

Texans will prevail. They have their destiny to live up to. This is their year to overcome.

Texans 33 Colts 30

That’s all I have to say….
