They would have been smarter to not complete that last pass while he's on the ground and the clock running.

That was a poor strategy end of the game.

Oh, well. Like I said earlier, I don't think the Texans are going to lose any confidence on this. The last year or two, I would have felt that way but this is a more experienced roster now.

It was the execution.

j/k

I'm not gonna get too bent over a preseason game decided by the 3rd stringers.... The 1's looked good and the 2's were OK....

I'm certainly glad you feel that way HPF.. Me, I think this is not the way to build the confidence for a playoff run. It sucks big time!!!

The injury to Tate dampens this game. That really sucks for him.

Our first team offense and defense looked very good. I am impressed with Sharpton, I thought he played a whale of a game, fast and physical. Diles also played well, he is underrated. Troy Nolan seems to be around the ball.

Mario, nice to see him use both arms. If the shoulder was hurt as bad last year as I have heard, then we should see a dominate Mario.

I am not at all dissapointed with this one. The final score really does not matter.

I disagree for this reason, Kubiak should be looking for a killer attitude which doesn't allow defeat. He did not get it. We need to hit the ground this year with the attitude that we will not accept defeat. If not we will go into the season, lose the first 4 games until we finally wake up and start playing to win.

Indianapolis Colts pre-season record last 5 years:

2005 = 0-5
2006 = 1-3
2007 = 1-3
2008 = 1-4
2009 = 1-3

Conclusion: Pre-season records don't mean a whole hell of a lot.

With no TOs they'd have been smarter to kick the motherf*cking FG. Your complaint rests on a player who's trying to make a play to make the team and my complaint rests on the continually poor decisions of the head coach.

I fully understand that the goal is not to win the game, but don't you want to see if Rackers can make that kick?

Kubiak is and always will be an idiot.

So, Tate is out for who knows how long and Slaton is useless. Foster and Henry it is. Both of these guys should have been playing last year and gaining experience rather than standing around on the sideline watching Chris Brown throw passes to the other team.

Anyone who thinks this team is going to make the playoffs in this division with this schedule is out of his damn mind.
