---------------------------------------------------- As mentioned, too many miscues. Sloppy football. I had no problem with the Texans taking the safety towards the end as it probably gave them a huge chunk of yardage over punting the football. Both scenarios were dependent on the Texan defense stopping the Colts. And they did. Timeouts could have been used better but alternate realities aside, the Texans had their chance. A pass off Coutee's hands stopped the drive and ended their last hope.... -------------------------------------------------- The Texans have two games before the bye - Oakland @ home and the Jags in London. I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to win both and go into the bye at 6-3. -------------------------------------------------- The NFL must hate the Raiders. They scheduled them 5 road games (one in London) in a row. After the London game vs. Bears, they at least got a breather with a bye week. They lost to the Packers in Green Bay today, play the Texans on Sunday at NRG to complete the traveling. -------------------------------------------------- I don't know what it is about that building in Indianapolis but the refs love to give the Colts first downs from penalties. This has been going on a while. I documented a little study I did several years ago and posted it right here in this forum. Perhaps it still exists. Anyhoo, I looked at "1st downs from penalties in Colts vs. Texans games". IIRC, it was like a 4 or 5 year study and began at the end of the Peyton Manning era. The results were something like 19 first downs for the Colts from penalty and 2 for the Texans (or was it 21-4?). At any rate, it was horrifically lopsided in the Colts favor. Today, the Colts had five 1st downs from penalty. The Texans had zero. -------------------------------------------------- Early line has moved up to Texans by 6½ to 7 over the Raiders.
