Colts @ Texans Insta-Analysis: Texans Rain Hellfire Down on Colts

Well, that was something, wasn't it?
Before I go on to do my quick-and-dirty analysis, I'd like to give a shout out to Peyton Manning. He is an absolute wizard on the football field, and if he didn't play for the Colts, we'd all be talking about how amazing he is.
Now then. On to the game.
If I had told you before this game that the magic crystal ball had revealed that Manning would throw for 400+ yards and three scores while teh Schaub only went for 107 (with Dre only going for 33 yards) I'm sure you would have rolled your eyes and said something like, "f&^%ing Texans" or "fire Kubiak" or something like that.
Funny how things turn out sometimes, innit?
Let the Daddy Mack take you across the jump.
Let me be clear about this. The Texans just fuckstomped the Colts. Badly. If it weren't for Peyton Manning, the Colts might not have scored a single point. I don't know if any other qb in the league could have put up those kinds of numbers in the face of that kind of heat.
To start with, the Texans dominated the line of scrimmage. On both sides of the ball. Maybe it was a little more apparent on the offensive side of the ball, but make no mistake, our defensive line showed up bigger than sixteen-year old's junk on a nude beach. They managed to harass Manning all day long, forcing him to throw from uncomfortable angles and they hit him a bunch. Mario had a huge game and has now sacked Manning more than any other person in the history of mankind. Shame we didn't draft Reggie Bush, huh?
Give Amobi credit where it is due as well - he didn't notch any sacks, but he got upfield in a hurry and (without doing a detailed analysis) he seemed pretty good in the run game as well.
Kareem Jackson played a pretty good game, considering it was his first pro start and he was facing one of the best quarterbacks in history. Zack Diles and DeMeco Ryans were solid, although I still worry about people trying to make too many arm tackles back there. For now, those of us who doubted Bill Kollar and Frank Bush (a group in which I include myself) have been served a pretty steamy dose of shut-the-hell-up.
And Kubiak? Oh, Kubiak. Even a skeptic like myself must give you credit for doing things like calling time out when it looked like the Colts might sneak an onside kick to Viniateri. So I'll lay off you today Gary, like I laid off your momma the other night. Burn!
On offense, what can I say? Perhaps our o-line isn't as bad as we thought. The Colts' d-line just walked into a back-alley mugging and came out stripped down to their boxers and with ladies makeup on. Perhaps also, a few key subtractions (Alex Gibbs, Steve Slaton, Kasey Studdard) and a few key additions (Rick Dennison, Socrates the Pterodactyl) make for a big difference. It also didn't hurt that Glass Joe Barbaro Bob Sanders didn't play much, but still. This is a very good professional football team (that, according to Colts partisans, was as healthy as it has ever been) that just got beaten upside the head with an eight ball in a sock to the point where it gave up. That's right. The defending AFC champs, Super Bowl runners-up, just gave up. Because they got the ever-living shit kicked out of them. By the Texans. The Houston Texans.
Let that sink in for a while, sports fans.
Really, I can only think of three drawbacks to this game:
-AJ and Jacoby dropped some balls.
-Matt Schaub with another stupid pick.
-Connor Barwin's injury.
But don't let that get you down, friends. Our boys did something they've always threatened to do but never really managed to pull off. They beat the tar out of a very good team.
This is going to be a fun season to watch, y'all.

Foster man that guy is perfect for your zone blocking scheme

Good stuff, tGC
Arian Foster won the game for us, but the defense shouldn’t get lost in the praise. They did as good as a job as I could’ve expected. The Texans took the game…make no mistake about it. They wanted it more.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Foster was great
But the O-line was like something from another planet. Where the hell have these guys been all this time?

they did what I expected them to do. Manhandle that smaller Colts DLine. Really can’t wait to see Rivers’ tape review. What a fantastic job of opening lanes on the edges.

That stretch play on the cutback was just phenomenal for us too. Don’t leave Dennison out of the praise.

Everything about the run game clicked. The O-Line dominated up front, Vonta was just mauling people, and Arian had the vision and cut back ability to find those holes even when they weren’t right in front of him and hit the ground running. What a great opening day.

Werd.
Myers played one hell of a game. Which is what I expect from him when he’s not facing a top-5 NT. But then again, nobody in this league wants a real NT…
And Leach is back to being the Coke Machine. I missed him last year.

No offense to Foster
But any halfway decent NFL runningback would have rushed for over 150 yards today behind the Texans offensive line… On many plays he didn’t even get touched untill he was 5 yards past the line of scrimmage.
You do realize this is practically the same O-Line we had last year

Dennison is a O-Line guy, so he would have a major part in their coaching

So I’m guessing we have to underscore what Night Owl said that it’s PRACTICALLY the same offensive line?

Is Wade Smith really that good? or it’s just that the O-line was just that incomplete?

It seems to have helped Slaton also
He seemed much more decisive yesterday (than last year).
I credit that to his time on the sidelines watching Foster.

Foster hit the right holes, and showed great vision. He made the offensive line look better. They played a hella game, but “any halfway decent RB…(drivel)(drivel)(drivel)” is just rubbish.

QUIN
it’s only an interception if you Hold onto that fucking ball and win the game for us there, not let them come back with some late heroics by ’ol manning.
Can't blame him
Great play by the receiver. Sure would have been nice though…
It was the only good play by Garcon all day.
It was frustrating, but I’m not sure he could’ve done anything. He didn’t even get a chance to pull it in.
If Kubiak hadn't witnessed three 17 point comebacks by the Colts
I think its worth a challenge. The ball was in control, and the second foot was down.
We woulda been down to 1 timeout, however.

Slaton
And it looked like the old Slaton today. Fantastic burst, especially in the 2nd half. Yes, Foster was better and is clearly the better option, but Slaton looked like the 2008 version.

When Quin went for the gamble
It left Collie one on one with Pollard, and that’s not a great match-up for us, especially when Collie was fully in stride.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.
http://www.battleredblog.com
Dunno...
But I didn’t see Eugene Wilson’s name all day. Safety still concerns me, especially after Pollard’s fairly horrid showing in coverage. That defensive effort was 99% a result of great play from the D-line and dropped passes by receivers.
Let’s hope that we don’t face a passing offense that good until the next Colts game.
I thought that was Pollard coming in from behind.
I’ll have to check the replay.
Pollard was there
But it was Wilson’s body that caused the fumble

I wish I had faith that the Colts will learn from their mistakes and turn around to win the next 15, but I have a feeling the Texans just offered the blueprint for every team to beat the Colts from now on.
The Texans definitely deserved this one – it was a beatdown. Foster is the real deal. Sorry to see Barwin go down – can’t believe it was only an ankle dislocation… I thought the guy’s whole knee was twisted at an unnatural angle to his body.

How can you not love a team that does this?
Yes
I really want to harp on this. Manning had nothing but quick throws. This was by choice, because he had absolutely no time to get set and pass. And because he had no running game, he was basically handing the ball off in the form of five-yard passes.
I don’t think there’s any other qb in the league who can do that the way he did.

Do you know what the difference is between last year and this year?
No fumbles…well, that and the fact that Arian Foster can read blocks like a blind man reads brail!
I dub the Colts....Unforgiven!
You know what I think will make the biggest difference this season?
A running game inside the red zone.
How many games did we lose by a touchdown or less when we had opportunities to score in the red zone throughout the game?
We beat the Colts by only 10, but our first two drives ended in field goals. Think about how much more we’d have won by had Arian Foster been handed the ball more often early…
Close games don’t scare me anymore. Bring’em on! Bring’em ALL on!
"biggest difference this season"
Hey everyone I agree with you and send out congrats to the TEXANS for their win(AS A TEAM) in the opener against the fearsome Colts and Manning. But lets not get the BIG head just yet since there ARE 16 games in reg. season and this is JUST THE FIRST ONE!!!! I see we STILL have a problem with the RED ZONE and you all know it!! The next few games; but the very next one will tell us if we still have the LET DOWN BUG OR NOT??? The Barwin loss is BIG and will hurt; and in last 1/4 of Leaches outstanding day, he was showing he felt the pain and was a bit gassed!!! I am still cringing when Slaton is given the ball; and on every snap I am hoping our protection holds for Matt S. since Orlovsky is next in line at present!!! The TEXANS did themselves PROUD today and deserve all the heaps of praise they are receiving; but there were still some glaring mistakes in the game that could have been VERY COSTLY, esp. against the Colts as we well know. SO I say lets ENJOY the WIN FOR WHAT IT WAS—GREAT; but lets get it together for the next 15 and post season!!!!

Kubiak and Barwin ankle
If that was a dislocated ankle it had to start just below the lower thigh!!! Barwins leg buckled at the knee and the ankle was under our own player so I am guessing both were hurt and he will be out most if not all the season. We will need a replacement player for sure if we are going to keep pressure up from that side.

Meh
against the colts right now the only thing you have to worry about is the passing game. He is better at blizting though, I just didn’t miss him much this week. Next week his absence will probably be felt more.
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
True.
Cush – Ryans – Diles are three pretty good LB’s. The problem is, you want Diles covering the TE in coverage, but you want Cush there to fight thru him on run plays.

My positives and negatives:
Positives:
Mario Williams- Destroyed the Colts O-line. He had 5 QB hits by himself and got 1 sack(Two half sacks to be exact).
Arian Foster- Over 200 yards rushing. ’Nuff said.
Entire O-line- Dominated today. Duane Brown absolutely domianted Dwight Freeney on run plays, but on pass plays it was a different story. Even though he allowed a sack, he was probably our best run blocker today.
Antonio Smith/Amobi Okoye- Both played great. Got penetration through the line and got pressure on Manning.
Zac Diles- Played well today. Made some open field tackles and finished with a tally of 12 tackles.
Vonta Leach- Easily his best game as a Texan. His blocking today was fantastic.
Negatives:
Secondary- Entire secondary played like shit to be honest. Kareem got beat often, but had a really nice PD in the fourth quarter. It’s his first game against arguably the best QB in history, but he needs to stay with his man more consistently. Over 400 yards passing is kind of ridiculous. It is Peyton Manning, but if our secondary can’t play well against a crappy passing offense like Washington’s next week, we have a legitimate problem.
Matt Schaub- Forced throws, looked indecisive. He needs to bounce back next week.
Jacoby Jones- Made some good plays, but he can’t drop balls like that. 2 of his drops were in the redzone and they could have been picked. Another drop should have been picked but luckily the ball went over the Indy D.
Redzone offense-

To be fair...
Jacoby and Red-zone struggles were slightly over-lapping. No excuse for dropping that pass in the end-zone… Every other WR or TE on the team hauls that in. That said, I thank him for that excellent first punt-return.
Stupid keyboard.
Last thing was the redzone offense. Can’t settle for a FG 2 times in one half. We got better in the second obviously, but we need to be consistent.
Great win, but it was ugly. The secondary and Schaub need to bounce back next week.

I hope you're kidding.
The reason we’re playing so much cover2 is because both our starting corners are unable to matchup with NFL WRs deep 1 on 1. With the cover 2 they’re playing closer to the LoS which protects them from getting burned deep so much and takes advantage of their physicality on recievers at the line and run support. In order to play more man we’d need different corners altogether.
A better coverage FS would help....
but really, the C2Z is dependent on the front 4 creating pressure.
"Lord, beer me strength."
is FS free safety in this context?
and if so, do we have any FS? or is that something we’d need to get if we did something different on the defense?
by BattleRedFan on Sep 12, 2010 6:55 PM CDT up reply actions
Yes, FS = Free Safety
Wilson’s okay, but he doesn’t have a lot of range. Troy Nolan may have that range, but who knows. The team doesn’t believe in getting free safeties though…if they did, we’d have upgraded the spot years ago.
"Lord, beer me strength."

Pollard was in the right place on one of those TDs and just took himself out of the play for some reason. Last TD was another failure on safety help. Pollard managed to conceal his coverage short-comings to a certain extent last year, but methinks teams are going to key into it this season. Need to figure out a way to diminish that weakness; possibly more responsibility for Eugene Wilson (who was invisible today).
It's just me.
I don’t care for shootouts. Our secondary played horribly. We need to do better next week to show that it was bad because of Peyton Manning.

I don't think the secondary was that bad.
They played as instructed. Keep it in front of you. See if we can grind em down on offense, don’t let Manning go deep. We got excellent pressure with 4 guys. But when Manning is throwing 3 yard slants, what do you do?

On 57 pass attempts by The Fivehead
Assmass alone does not a NT make.
Because of this number, I'm coming around on the secondary.
Granted, they looked bad for most of the game; even in the first half when the defense was pretty dominant. But when the greatest QB in the game throws the ball that many times (which I believe was a single-game record for him), that tends to happen. Disappointed that we didn’t get a single pick out of those 57, but if Manning throws 57 passes, I’m guessing we’ll win that game 9/10 times.
Two almost picks Bone crusher
whose momentum just carried him out of bounds.. (man i wish that was closer to the middle of the field) and Quinn who dropped it (Sad panda)

Garbage time stats
for a lot of that.
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
You forgot one thing...
…when Quin recovered the fumble he layed on the ground a second before he realized no one had touched him. He started to get up and run and the two nearest Texans, instead of blocking for him, were already celebrating. My biggest problem is the lack of awareness sometimes and too many NFL players want to show off instead of finishing plays. Celebrate after the ref blows the freakin’ whistle at least. I really hate when players do stuff like that.
Yeah, it wasn't a very heads up play.

Peyton Manning: "WTF you guys don’t see that they’re handing the ball off to Foster? Why isn’t anyone covering Foster??!!!
Colts’ defensive lineman 1: “Peyton, there is a human Coke machine rolling out on the field. What exactly do you want us to do? If we just fall down he won’t hurt us as bad.”

This reminds me of 2008 right before Schaub became Schaub…he was throwing erratically and just looked scared back there. Of course we know that he got his groove and kicked ass…I just hope it happens sooner rather than later…can’t expect Foster to have 200 yard rushing games every game!
I was looking at his face in the second half and he was very intent on those handoffs. He really was.
I dub the Colts....Unforgiven!
Random question for you
Was the Colts’ gameplan to sell out guarding against the pass? Is that why we ran roughshod over them while barely using our best weapons last season (Schaub and Andre)?
Will teams start gameplanning for Foster and open up the passing game that much more?
http://www.crawfishboxes.com
I think they didn't want to get beat against the pass
but, as I wrote last Tuesday, the Texans could (and did) dominate this Tampa-2 defense with a ground attack.
As for the future, teams have to pick their poison. They have to respect the run and pass….which makes things easier all around.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I have to believe
that they expected a more balanced attack from the Texans. Also, their defense is built assuming Peyton has blown the game wide open and the opponent is forced to pass to come back. Run defense is not a strong suit, especially when it’s play after play and there’s a coke machine running down the field.
How can you not love a team that does this?
Btw did anyone hear what bonecrusher said to Wayne?
It was on the sideline, Pollard said, “Fuck you motha fucka! Fuck you motha Fucka!” Pretty bad for CBS.

We won the game with our rushing game. I was completely surprised that Matt only passed for 98 yards, while foster ran for 230+ yards.
Oh, after the game, I saw a fan with a sign that said, “I smell horsesh**,” and he was waving it at the Colts’ bus as they were leaving the stadium.

Congratulations on a very convincing win.
I’m originally from New Orleans but have lived in Houston for the past 23 years. The Saints have always been my team but I’ve watched, supported and wished the best for the Texans since their inception.
Other than the Saints, there isn’t a team in the NFL I’d rather see embarrass the Colts than you guys.
Congrats and good luck for a great season.
That's right!
Thx DD! The Texans just beat a team that was in the Super Bowl last season. And, I didn’t hear anyone coming up with any excuses like they weren’t really trying to win, or they were being vanilla, or whatever…
I dub the Colts....Unforgiven!
Elephant in the room
I was at the game. I’m not sure if it was all of the players on both teams, but I know at least SOME of the players for both teams did the #1 solidarity show. The fan’s reaction? Very loud boos across the stadium. That was booed louder than when the Colts came out right before game time. The players should remember that it’s not the owners that cover their paychecks…it’s the fans.
question for you
You were likely watching the Texans players more, but by chance did you see if Peyton did it? I’m very torn on this issue.
How can you not love a team that does this?
Can't say
Sorry, when I realized what was happening I was more distracted by the fans reaction. I looked for Peyton when the players were walking back to the sideline but I wasn’t able to find him on or off the field at that time.
My opinion, 6.5 days of the week they can be on the same side of the issue. But game time? I want Mario to have a thirst to rip Peyton’s head off, not to be showing solidarity. (Note: Not sure if Mario was doing it either. I can’t confirm any specific players.)
understood
I found it interesting that it wasn’t televised like they did for the Vikes-Saints game. I wonder if the NFL has put some pressure on the broadcasters, or if it was just a coincidence.
How can you not love a team that does this?
I'm sure the NFL is trying to hide it
but I like that the gesture was booed. Seriously, neither side is going to get the fans support. Get something done, don’t kill the golden goose, and don’t punish the fans for this insatiable greed….especially during this recession.

It felt different, in a very good way, that we didn’t have to pass 250+ yards to win the game. I’ve been so used to coming back from behind by AJ and Matt’s heroics.

yeah nothing wrong with Andre
once we establish to the world (not just us homers) that we have a real running game ( not just lucky) then Andre should get MANY more throws. unless every team triple teams Andre in which case .. we might be running the ball ALOT more.

well when "everyone" has said "this is a passing league"
or however they used to say it. And all along Kubiak has been aiming for this “balanced offense”.
I mean if you think about it, the running game was pretty much a surprise to the colts. Look at all our reels of previous footage. They probably prepared ALOT more for our passing game. But the next time we see the colts they will be MUCH more prepared.
Maybe New Orleans had a strong running game as well? in 2009?

Part of the credit has to go to the Colts' D
Either we wore them down, they quit in the 4th qtr, or they’re not very good. Maybe a little of all three. Great win, but I don’t expect that kind of production from Foster every week.
This game was on giant leap towards a truly balanced offense. Schaub will be unstoppable if we can establish a consistent running game.

4 holding calls in one game. Flozell Adams must have taught him a thing or two. I won’t be surprised if Barron tries to trip one of our D-lineman, like Adams does to everyone. Zac Diles put it perfectly on twitter
“Alex Barron’s problem is that he’s out there tryin to look to sweet with his spat and high blue socks, your an Olineman be grimy.”
I can’t wait to play the Cowboys. Their O-line is horrific. With Amobi playing well, 3/4 lineman can get good penetration consistently.

They don't play the same position so it would be pointless

I had countless people telling me all day long how they really like the way the Texans are coming together and call them their second team.

So you guys still think we need to "air it out" to compete against manning?
I really am just curious. You guys jumped my ass during the draft, when i said go with Mathews, arguing he would be a reach at 20(even though he was taken at 13)and that we needed corners to stop manhing and not a run game to keep him off the field.Insisting i don’t know crap about football, even though the only 2 times we have won is when we ran the ball down their damn throats.I am just wondering, who’s lead are the sheep following? It is hard to determine what 1 guy is the top, and who all the bottoms are. You guys are clever, and write well, but realy dont seem to understand strategey.
A) First round….needed the CB > RB. More than just the Colts on the schedule. NEEDED a starting CB, can’t find those past round 1.
B) This was on the front page Wednesday so maybe I’d tone down the whole sheep thing.
Consider yourself Pwn3d.

Furthermore.....
Just because we won with running doesn’t mean Mathews would’ve done the same. In fact, it could be viewed as a wasted pick since we had Arian Foster as the starter. You bragging about that makes 0 sense at all. The Texans needed an upgrade at CB…had to have it for the season, not 2 games.

And another point as to why you are wrong
Time of possession was 29:07 for the Colts and 30:53 for the Texans.
That doesn’t even matter since the Colts have had the fewest time of possession in the entire league 4 of the 5 last seasons where they still dominated.

you obviously don't know how to analize situations.
As well, i could care less about your frontpage.You can not put the hope of the running game, in the hands of,WHAT AT THE TIME, was a guy that was beleived to be injury prone, and possible immature for his age and responsibility. Furthermore, these cornerbacks, are not being asked to do anything a solid second round talent can’t . Considering Gary Kubiac and Rick Smith both openly state MATHEWS WAS THEIR #1 PROSPECT, and jackson as their #2.So the guys getting paid to discover talent and strategize the plays, thought a solid running back was more of a game changer than a cornerback.Arian Foster being a perfect example of this. But you can not view it with this years knowledge, just last years.
I did not mention anything about the defense game plan. that was great. Allowing a TD in the fourth is fine if it makes the other team eat up clock.Letting over the middle completions for 5 yards a pop with a couple linebackers and secondary players in the area trying to create a turnover was a solid plan. What we are talking about is a offensive game plan that takes into account .
1. other teams weakness
2. our strength.( with a first round pick used on rb we would expect production).
3. Tone of the game
4. Other teams response.
5.COUNTER for the required response. ( PLAY ACTION TO DRE , WALTER, DANIELS, JONES 1 ON 1

Am i right squirt? dont worry kido, i make my money from analyzing opponetts and exploiting their weakness. What was fourth quarter time of possesion smart guy. By using your logic, you are telling me that because time of possion was even . BASED on what you saw and the flow of the game in the second half, THE PROFESSIONAL NFL COACH’S WERE NOT TRYING TO RUN DOWN THE CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER CORRECT?

But seriously, I'll try and discuss some of those points
1..If you couldn’t care less about the front page, then you are only hearing a small part of the conversations and ideas we throw around on here. So you are basing your argument on part of a conversation.
2. Putting the running game in the hands of Arian Foster was something the coaches didn’t have a whole lot of choice on. Slaton was injured and had fumbilitis last season. Matthews was gone before we picked and somehow I don’t think it matters now. PS Can you site the comments made where they said they were after Matthews, I just don’t recall when they said that.
But they must have seen something in Foster and Jerimiah (was a bullfrog) Johnson. becasue they were on the practice squad all of last year and kept on this pre-sesaon. They must have had some confidence in them, because they released Moats, even though he played well last year.
I don’t think anyone disputes that we needed an upgraded running game. But a 1st round running back wouldn’t have been the magic bullet. We needed to improve the O-Line play as well. (And the O-line coaching maybe too, thank Alex Gibbs, so long and thanks for all the fish)
So, onto the offensive gameplan.
- Other teams defensive weakneses. The colts are a lighter, faster team. It don’t take no fooossball genius to see that a power running game could be effective if executed properly. Also, Bob sanders is made of glass.
- Our Offensive strengths. Last years number one passing offense, Schaub, AJ, KW, JJ, OD back, Dressen, Anderson and Thor. PLus the new and improved O-line and the running back who was chosen by out performing all the other RB’s in the pre-season.
- Tone of the game?? Sorry sonny, speak up, I can’t hear you over the sound of the Pterodactyl. Maybe he is setting the tone.
- The other teams response was exactly what we thought it would be. Give the ball to Manning and try and score quick points. That is how they always win.
- Counter? They tried the same thing all game, the Texans didn’t let Manning control the game. No counter was needed, although I am sure Frank Bush had something up his sleeve.
Rick Smith sides with you. Awesome, We all want to be your friends now that you are Rick Smith’s “Butt Buddy”. Seriously, please provide some proof that Rick Smith and you share the one brain.
Time of Possession. Of course a coach who has the lead will want to dominate the ToP in the 4th. It is the one thing we have never been able to do and Kubiak has gone on and on and on about it all off season. If you go back to the 4th quarter thread, you may see me jokingly deriding Foster for scoring a TD when we needed to keep possession and run out the clock.
When you feel like playing along a little more and not getting angry and attacking everyone, I’d love to chat again sometime.

I am not angry, I have a big smile on my face the whole time thinking how strange it is, that the only2 times we have beat the colts out of 17 is with a power running game, yet during the draft all you guys said that was non-sense and we had to unleash schaub on them to have a chance.That teams try running the clock on them and it doesnt work Well guys what guys?

Please stand up from your computer (don’t be concerned about that noise, it’s just the dried sweat from your naked ass pulling away from the chair) and make your way way through the ocean of mountain dew cans and cheetoh bags littering the floor of your mother’s basement. Now, walk your pasty, white, fat sack up the stairs (take your time and pause for breathing breaks as needed) until you reach the door. Open the door and proceed to the front door of the home (ignore the cries of “Dear God it’s up here!” and “Sweet mother of foulness, it lives!”) and go through the front door. Welcome to the “outside”. Note the burning all of orange-yellowish gas in the sky. That is the sun. Try not to expose yourself for more than 3-4 minutes at a time as years and years of basement dwelling has reduced your body’s ability to absorb sunlight, not to mention the caked on odors wil inevitably attract a sea of dung beetles and mosquito’s. Enjoy the outside! You an clean up the feces laden footprints you left on your journey through the home later! For now, revel in your new life!
Welcome to life. Enjoy!

Nobody wanted to take a running back for various reasons. All of us agreed that we needed to upgrade our running game, and Foster + Smith at guard + Caldwell having a year under his belt + Myers no longer having a higher ankle sprain did that for us. We simply felt that we could just as easily upgrade the running game in the 2nd or 3rd, while vastly improving our team with our first pick in a better way. Moron.

Can't win 'em all....
unless you win the first one, Peighton. Now, there’s no bitchin about extending an unbeaten streak in late December with backups.

This post made no sense.
When did Peyton ever complain about the unbeaten streak?

I just wanted to point one thing out
With jags and the tits winning their games today, that means the colts are at the bottom of their division.
I like that.
Hadn't thought about that....
that is a nice thought to start my Monday night work “day”.
Just my $.02

They talked about it a bit in the combined thread #3

Almost there
Congratulations Texans fans, the biggest win in your franchise history in the first game of the season! What is this, the fourth time it’s been the biggest game in franchise history against the Colts? You finally won one!!! Only about another seven years and you’ll finally even the series with the Colts. That is, if you sweep us every year.

Well, we have to start somewhere.
We’re at 2-15 and we’re on even terms now

Super Bowl
When’s the last time you guys won a Super Bowl? Actually, how many times have you even made the playoffs? Me: 1 Texan douchebags: 0

I find it interesting....
and VERY amusing that as soon as an expansion franchise starts to kick some ass, the fan base of the established franchises getting their asses kicked fall back on past glories….exhibit A this post, exhibit B robbo for the cowturds.
Get over it, this is a new season and your precious Colts just got their asses handed to them on a silver platter. Time to go back to the drawing board. See, we are all well aware we are a “young” franchise….since the vast majority of us have been fans from the beginning! Now, can you say that about your fan support of the Colts?
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
I find it very interesting....
that you say STARTS to kick some ass. I also find it VERY amusing that you have to wait 8 years to say you START kicking ass. While you guys were struggling to get to .500, we were busy winning 6 division titles, 2 AFC championships, and a Super Bowl title. So if you wanna talk about kicking ass just call the Colts. And if you wanna talk about fan support try 89 consecutive sellouts to your handful of sellouts.

I've got a fun idea
Let’s talk about the Colts and their performance over the 20 years from 1978-1998.
I mean, since you want to talk about the past and all.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Actually
I’m talking about the recent past. You know, the time you guys have actually been in the league. If your gonna talk shit about a team, then you should prolly have a better record than 2-15 against them.

Congrats on the win

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
