Absolutely like I thought...I will remain optimistic that Kubiak is withholding his best plays for the playoffs...

Colts down the ensuing kickoff in the endzone, touchback. Colts ball at their 20.

-----------------------------------

Ballard goes left for 4. 2nd and 5 coming up.

End of the 1st quarter.

Giants 21, Eagles 0

On 2nd and 5, Luck is sacked and fumbles! Texans recover! Texans ball at the Colt 14!

Play is under review.... Barwin on the sack.... looked like Luck lost control of the football and was not passing.....

[WMH]

Tuck rule?

[TheMatrix31]

Hosed. Totally hosed.

[Arky]

Oh wow, play is overturned and ruled an inc pass.... Colts ball....

On 3rd and 5, pass to Hilton goes for the 1st down at the Colt 37.

Luck rolls out and throws it away, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Ballard for 2. 3rd and 8 coming up.

Luck sacked by A Smith! Loss of 6. Colts to punt.

Punt is returned by Martin to the Texans 37, nice return.... Texans ball.

They didn't even call the tuck rule. If he didn't tuck it, then it should have been called a backwards pass, and thus, a free ball. Ridiculous. Unfortunately, the real refs haven't been much better than the replacement refs were.

[Nconroe]

I don't think I like the tuck rule especially if it is a backward fumble. Oh well, maybe more turnovers coming.

Not a tuck, contact initiated pass ruling. Refs got it wrong.

Man, we need more than FG.

Atleast looking up a little.

[chuck]

If it was a pass then why wasn't it intentional grounding? Incredible.

[nunusguy]

Antonio all but broke Luck's neck on that play - Colts gotta be wondering about how long do they want to leave Luck in the game ?

[popanot]

Can someone on offense please step up and make a critical play?

[Arky]

Pass to AJ goes for big gainer. Ball all the way to the Colt 24.

Pass to AJ gets 4.

Foster for 4. 3rd and 2 coming up.

Foster stopped behind the LOS. Loss of 2. Texans to go for the FG.

Whew, Graham's 37-yarder is barely good.

Colts 7, Texans 6

10:22 left in the half.

[WMH]

Brown got blown up on that one. Foster ran straight into him on a RG/RT run. Not exactly what your wanting from your LT.

[Big Texas]

Owen daniels 1 on 1 with Freeney....?????????

[Arky]

An upman brings the ensuing kickoff back to the Colts 21. Colts ball.
