What's in the Texans booth?

The deal is, what can you do about it now? If you're the Texans, you learn from it and move on...

I'm not saying that was the ONLY play that cost them the game. You can go back in any game and find numerous plays that could have changed the outcome had it gone differently. However, this was one play that was big enough to potentially (likely) be a 7 point swing that could have easily been avoided had someone been paying attention and thought through or reacted to the situation.

Of course, there's nothing we can do about it now other than look at an important notch in the L column and hope we can steal one from them at home. As for learning, how long does Kubiak et al need to figure this stuff out? IMO, this was modern-day NFL Football 101. If there's any doubt, get up and snap the damn ball and let the chips fall where they may!! There shouldn't have been any thought to it. It should have been common reaction. Judging by the fact Schaub let ~7 seconds or so run off the clock while standing there with the offense lined up at the LOS, the Colts were not prepared to throw the flag until we gave them time to look at it.

I don't know... I can understand how Kubiak and crew screwed it up, and yes, there's noting we can do about it now, but it's frustrating nontheless.
