Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 9/12/2010

[Arky]

It truly is just one of 16 but man:

a. A chance to beat the Colts

b. division game - golden opportunity to improve on last year's poor record

c. a chance to start the season with bang (or a thud)

I'll use the old standby here: win the turnover battle, win the game.

Just please don't let it come down to a field goal, heh.

I would like to see Barwin and Okoye in the backfield today in order to feel good about the defensive line. TFL, or Sacks, or Hits on the QB would be nice considering what we have spent in terms of assets on the D-Line. Otherwise, we will NEED to use another 1st round draft pick or high FA signing on the DL again.

Love that 3-and-out baby....let's get seven out of this.

[Big Texas]

Come on red zone O

[Arky]

Pass to JJ in the endzone goes inc.

Texans to go for the FG.

Butler offsides, kick again.

Rackers 30 yarder is good.

Texans 3, Colts 0

9:32 left in the 1st quarter.

[Big Texas]

Jacoby should've had that one...

I'll take a 3 from Rackers...Even though he had to do it twice...

Imagine his nervousness...

[Arky]

Colts bring the kickoff back to about their own 19.

Addai runs for about 5. Brings up 2nd and 5.

Pass to Collie gets about 6 and the 1st down.

Mario TFL on Addai for -1.

Slant to Wayne good for about 11 and the 1st down.

Dump to Collie picks up about 5.

Pass to Garcon goes inc. Brings up 3rd and 5.

Mannings 3rd down pass is off Wayne's fingers inc. Colts have to punt. Good pressure D!

JJ fair catches the punt at the Texan 16.

I hate settling for three after stopping them on three-and-out.
