Eventually the law of averages has to catch up to us. Why not this week?

If we blow another lead and loose a heartbreaker, we need to do something big... a situation that absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be
done... And We're just the guys to do it.

The Texans defense is going to be facing a quarterback who may very well be the best ever to play the game while missing its best player. The Colts have three very good wide receivers which is three more than the number of very good cornerbacks the Texans have. The Texans are going to throw a rookie CB out there. I assume they'll play lots of zone but whatever they do the rookie's going to need a lot of safety help and there should be plenty of space in the middle of the field for TEs or slot receivers. Since they began running the 4-3 the Texans have never had anything resembling a pass rush from the interior part of the DL. That will need to change. In fact, several defensive players are going to have to play the game of their lives just to stay in this thing. And Schaub and company are going to have to score 40 points to keep the Texans alive. That's an awful lot of points for an offense whose running game and red zone effectiveness are huge question marks.
