Official Texans vs. Colts Thread, 10/05/2008
 

Looks like the gametime temps will be in the upper 70s, maybe some scattered clouds. Hopefully that will keep the fans in the north endzone in their seats.

Probably no Will Demps to go with no C.C. Brown in the deep steel blue secondary. As if our secondary needed to give any extra strokes to Peyton Manning out there on the green today... I think Nick Ferguson and Brandon Harrison will be the starters. God bless us, every one.

610 am just announced that Schaub is out with the flu.

Sage is starting! :eek:

Following are the inactives for the Texans' matchup with the Indianapolis Colts at Reliant Stadium.

Changes to the Texans' starting lineup: Strong safety Brandon Harrison will start for Will Demps.

Yep. Now watch Sage go out and get our first W and see what happens. Can you say QB controversy??? :eek:

Line for Sage -- 21/34, 273 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs.

why is okam inactive?

That stop was made possible by Mario and DeMeco, our two studs.

Indy receives opening kickoff - drive stalls at the Texan 41

... but Colts go for it on 4th down.....

Addai picks up the first down...

Nice stop by Diles & Faggins on 3rd down, Colts kick 46 yd FG

Colts 3, Texans 0

I am soooo sick of this "defense". These guys SUCK!!!!

Dunta Robinson, where ARE you?!

Reeves had all day to turn around - just couldn't do it....

F'ing sad! Blowout here we come! :mad:

Colts run it in 1 yd for the TD.

Colts 10, Texan 0

Did anyone else know they were going to pass on the 4th down conversion?

Who's this #30?

Texans at the 1 yd line - 1st down....

Rosenfels was over! But Slaton takes it in on 2nd down...

Colts 10, Texans 7

Nice drive by the Texans...

Yea!!! TD! Offense bails out our sh!tty D'!

Green looked really good on that drive.

Now thats how you take advantage of an opportunity.

Good job Sage.

9 plays for 71 yds

Sack by Mario - Amobi helps....

Heh, heh Reeves almost did it again - Gonzales drops the ball - Colts punt....

Let's go Offense!

At least the D is putting some QB pressure today - Manning is getting the happy feet...

Big play to AJ sets the Texans up deep in Colt territory.

Ahman falls down on 3rd down so the Texans settle for the FG:

Texans 10, Colts 10

Well, what do you know, Joe? Reeves turns around and deflects a pass....

Colts FG is no good.

Score remains:

Texans 10, Colts 10

Texans takeover at their own 39.

sage is making this team look competitive

He's also making AJ look like a Pro Bowl WR.

YES! Andre TD!

Texans drive down the field - Sage hits AJ for 5 yds - TD!

Texans 17, Colts 10

27 seconds left in the half... Indy with 2 timeouts....

Wow, they are showing heart, and coaching skills.

Leading tacklers - Diles 6 (1 INT), Weaver (!) 4 - many with 3 including Mario (1 sack)

Is Indy just this sorry or are we finally utilizing our talent?

We will see if we continue to stick it to'em in the second half or will we come out with that lets run the ball into 8 men fronts like we did the first couple plays of the game.

P.S.
did anyone notice how 610 said that Shaub was out with flu like symptoms while 11 said that it was an intestinal somethin or other?

could he have been just outplayed in practice?
or did someone just get their info wrong?

I think you can have intestinal flu..... feel crappy, can't get off the john....

The symptoms for intestinal virus is the same as the stomach flu.

Owen with an obligatory drop. Damn.

I was hoping to get points to open the half..

Texans take 2nd half kickoff - drive stalls in Indy territory.

Texans punt. Touchback. Indy sets up at the 20 yd line.

That would have been nice! No lead is safe with the Colts offense.....

Solid defensive stand

Running game getting going now, we need a few more points to feel safe though

Oh shit. Andre down.

EDIT: Got off on his own power. Please let there be nothing wrong with him.

Texans drive stalls at the 26. Brown's FG is good.

Texans 20, Colts 10

Burnt up a lot of clock that drive.....

Mario SACK on a third down, forcing the Colts to punt.

Let's go, long drive that results in points!

Mario!

Colts punt - Texans take over at their own 20.

50 yard run by Slaton followed by like, a 20 yard rollout to Walter.

Get some points!
