To me, this was the play of the GAME, when Kubiak went for it on 4th & 1. It established some sort of 'Swagger' for the team. This didn't seem like a desperation play, like an Onside Kick to try to keep the ball out of Manning's hands. This was a "All In" putting all the chips in the middle of the table stand of confidence. Had we not been able to convert that 4th & 1, I'd hate to imagine the mood of the city. http://bleacherreport.com/tb/b5V2b "4th & 1, I-Formation, 3Q 10:04 IND 20 Foster runs right for 2 yards. This is where it really starts to build. Gary Kubiak has never been afraid to go for it on 4th down, and he certainly was going for it here. Arian Foster immediately started signaling to go for it, and though it wasn’t on camera, I’m sure the rest of the team was motioning to the sideline in the much the same way. Chris Myers and the right side of the O-Line immediately went backwards on this play, but did at least enough as to not allow any deep penetration outside of their shoulders. All Foster could do was either pound it inside and hope for a push, or bust it outside and get to the edge. He’s not known for his speed, but he wisely opted for the edge. Owen Daniels saved the day on this play with an effective, yet unspectacular block on Clint Session. Winston released Mathis just quickly enough to avoid a holding penalty, and Andre Johnson blocked Kelvin Hayden just barely long enough that he wasn’t able to get to Foster in time to knock him out of bounds before the first down marker."

I thought I noticed a lot of interesting alignments and movement along the defensive front. So, I went back and charted every play in the first half of the game. Here are the observations I thought were interesting:
In 41 plays: Texans Defense played Nickel all 41 first half plays (a key to the game) 9 blitzes in 41 plays (always 5 rushing) 0 DB blitzes. Texans played a 3-3 alignment on 6 plays. They blitzed 4 of 6 times out of that alignment and dropped 8 players into coverage twice. They never rushed 4 men when in the 3-3 defense (Nickel version of 3-4). CONTINUE AT TEXANS BULL BLOG

That is interesting we were in the nickel the whole time. Wonder what changed the the fourth quarter?
for play by play of whole game by quarter can look at http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...laybyplay.html From that I noticed defense gave up about 50, 100, 40 and then 250 yds passing by quarter. and 73 of the 250 was a touchdown. and 32 of the 250 was on the fumble we recovered. the two longest pass completions.

Colts muff the kickoff and bring it back to their own 20.
Pass to Collie good for 9. Addai sweeps right for about 5. 1st down. Pass to Clark gets about 6. 2nd and 4 coming up. Pass to Clark good for about 10. Ball at midfield. Addai rushes for about 18 - bad tackling.... Mannings pass is batted down. Brings up 2nd and 10. Pass to Collie good to the Texan 28. 3rd and 4 coming up. Manning audibles a little too much and has to call a timeout...

Pass to AJ gets just enough for the 1st down. Ball at the Colts 48.
Foster gets 2 tough yards. Foster gets about 4 off left tackle. 3rd and 4 coming up. Oh man. Ball a little under thown to AJ - inc. Texans to punt. Colts fair catch at the 9. Penalty on the play. Holding on Texans - Colts get an extra 10 yards.
