Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 11/29/2009
 

Steel Blue Sunday on tap.

Question: If the Texans are down by three with the ball spotted at the Colts' 31-yard line, four seconds left in the game, if you're Gary Kubiak, what do you do? What do you do?!?!

:p

Send Kris Brown out there and kick the ball the FG. duh. What else can he do?

At this point in time Brown is better than any of the guys on the street. IN 8 years this is only his 2nd rough patch. He is one of the most accurate kicker in the league at 50 yd plus, and he is still putting the kickoffs deep. I would have to look more at what has changed this year from the prior years?

The LS has changed, and he is not there only for the LS. So I wonder if Turk and Brown and Dressen are getting the same amount of reps that the FG team got last year.

Set your DVR's.

I think it comes down to this: this is the type of game the Texans have to start winning. Win and they are back on track. Lose and they just ain't got it for this year....

I don't know, but I've had enough of watching last second kicks. I'll change the channel.

A win here and they set themselves up for a nice run (dare I say a chance to run the table?!?). Here's hoping they take that first step today against the Colts.

Go Texans!
