I remind myself of this before getting too excited over the win. I sit in that endzone where the kick was attempted, and off the foot it seemed like a sure miss, then I swear the ghostly hand of Bob McNair willed it back to doink in. Maybe.
Had a feeling pregame too that this game could come down to a late field goal from either team, and the kickers were CareBear and Vinatieri. Let that sink in. A possible home playoff game determined by one of those two. Would any of us be surprised if one or both were cut by this point in the season?
Totally thought the Colts were the better coached team, and I suppose I still think that, but they dominated the Texans with the run through 3 quarters and somehow decided to pass the ball down the stretch. Wha?? Thanks, I guess.
JJo has his limits. He's lost a step. He wasn't particularly great last night either, but it's hard to not root for the guy. Burned so often by T.Y. Hilton throughout his career, JJo got a small measure of revenge against a snap count-limited and somewhat gimpy Hilton last night. I don't care the excuses, I'm just happy for him. Same guy who I swear wears #24 because he routinely gives his man a 2-4 yard cushion. But whatever. He's been here darn near a decade now so he's one of us, dammit.
And Zach Cunningham. One of the most frustratingly wonderful players. Played his game last night though. Love his game speed. Probably says as much about players like DJ Reader keeping guys off Cunningham to allow him the space to move. As much as I'm loving Cunningham today, I'm sure there disappointment lurking there again soon, but he had a nice game.
Will Fuller still lacks great hands, but he is such a difference maker when he plays. Gotta find a way to keep him on the field and involved in the offense.
Will be interesting to see if Crennel can figure out a way to counter Tom Brady next week. He's been unable to in the past with much better defensive talent, so I can't say I'm optimistic.
