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

Oh no. Colts run the kickoff back for a TD but many penalties. Offsetting penalties give the Colts the ball at their 23.

Pass to Clark good for 4.

Pass to Collie goes all the way.... 73 yards.

Texans 34, Colts 24

Eheh, they're not dead yet...

1:15 left in the game.

Texans recover the onsides kick.

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.

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 !
