The upcoming Colts game (vers 2.0)

[Nconroe]

I'm looking forward to a good game, do expect us to win, but I've said that before and been wrong. In theory if we win the turn over battle, hold Colts to 20 or less points, don't commit dumb penalties, get correct referee calls, don't drop balls we ought to catch, do well on special teams and make field goals, we ought to win.

LOL....is that all?

ok, no one else gets injured, Peyton throws three interceptions while we have him backed up to his endzone , OL opens huge running lanes and Slayton runs for 140 yards, Casey catches 10 passes for 120 yards, Dunta gets an interception and run back for TD due to pressure on him by our DL, Mario gets three sacks, Colts get penalized for roughing Schaub even though they didn't touch him four times giving us first downs, Peyton gets confused and calls timeout due to crowd noise, Colts miss an extra point, and Colts through protest flag and lose final timeout, and with four minutes to go, Texans are up 35-10, and run out the clock, the coaches, and fans are smiling and happy again. Ah, all the other teams ahead of us in playoff race lose. I am sure I missed something in this dream game.

I had a bad feeling about the Titans game and we ended up losing.... But not this time. I have a great feeling about an upset against the Colts. I listen to alot of sports podcasts at work and everyone is writing us off already.... We'll give them something to talk about when we stun the undefeated Colts.

That's what I'm saying, with the assumption that the Texans produce another strong effort. One may argue about their game-plans and certainly the penalities have been frustrating and harmful but the effort has been there. If the coach gets any credit for having his team up for the games, Kubiak gets an atta-boy in that department.
Indy has had so many close games, so many last minute or last second wins. Give them credit, but they've also had some luck. But Indy is due, just so we don't have to nail down a win or OT with a Chris Brown kick ?

I am starting to come out of the coma after a sleep deprived and angry ride home from Reliant Monday night.

One thing I must say about Kubes tenure here, is that his team seems to bounce back well. I would not be shocked to see this team be ready and go toe to toe with the Colts. Would I be shocked if they won, hell no. Am I expecting them to win, hell no. I think this will be a typical Texans game this year, could go either way in the 4th quarter. This club seems to be full of surprises. At some point this year, we are going to make the plays to win one of these close games. The Colts have been winning, but they have not been blowing teams away. Manning is not going to scramble for first downs all night, but is 1000% better passer than VY.

My prediction...By Saturday AM, I will be amped up and ready to get it going Sunday morning. On my way to Reliant, I will be brimming with optimism and enthusiasm. I'll be in my seat for player introductions.
