Final score:

Texans 34, Colts 24

Cool, 1-0 and 1-0 in the division...

Great win by the Texans. Great game by Foster. Looks like that suicide contest jinx thing still works.

What a game. What a freakin' game.

That 2nd half was as bad a physical whipping as I've seen on an NFL field.

On that final Texans TD drive, the Colts desperately needed a stop, the Texans were obviously running, and the OL was still blowing the colts like 5 yards off the ball on every play. I honestly could have scored on that last TD that Foster jogged in.

Huge win.

The Colts have always been undersized on the d-line. I wouldn't pronounce our running game healed just yet.

Too bad about Barwin. I suppose we give Aaron Schobel another phone call tomorrow.

Thanks for seeing the rain cloud in a silver lining.

Foster was simply put "a beast" out there.

Mario is definitely putting himself in the conversation with the best ends in the game... He just has a plethora of moves...

[Big Texas]

This was definitely a gratifying win.

I just hope we don't start walking around with our head up our asses and come out next week and get our ass kicked.

Most importantly I hope Kubiak doesn't get the "I told you so syndrome" concerning the run. He will start running it 85 times in a row...

Lets do what good teams do. Accept the win and start gameplanning the for next match-up.

Give Kubiak credit for knowing that the way to beat the Colts is long sustained clock-chewing drives that keep Manning planted firmly on the bench. I worried that, after that pick, we'd implode. Had we lost the lead just before halftime, we might have done just that.

Oh ye of little faith. Wait a minute, that's people like me because I had no confidance in the Texans ability to win this game, just hope.
I dunno, is the rushing game really that good ? Foster was outstanding, but not without a tremedous performance by the OLine and FB Leach knocking the crap out of Colt defenders. DLine also played very well led by a strong game by Mario.
Only downer is Barwin. That was nasty, probably season-ending but haven't heard anything yet from the Texans ? I'm kinda surprised Nading and not Jamison replaced him ?
And any rate, great game Texans ! Congrats !
