The Texans let down in the second half, and that led to them getting sloppy. Yeah, the pick in the 1st quarter was vintage Schaub, but this team was good through the half. Yes, I was concerned by the let down in the second half. Disgusting is a little strong. I don't think there would have been a let down if the Colts would've had Manning under center, and I think the Texans would have held the ball better. And I think the Texans would have won. The score would have just been a lot closer.

The first quarter pick hit AJ in both hands. Not a great throw, but no reason a ball that hits both his hands should be intercepted.

1. Excellent first half, so - so second half.
2. The Colts aren't the same without Manning for sure.
3. We turned the ball over 3 times, and that just can't be allowed to continue. Tate fumbled away the ball, but also ran for over a hundred yards.
4. All is well though, we are 1-0 with 15 to go.

I was wrong, and that was fun.

I was wrong about the Colts, I guess I have them too much credit, as I thought it would be a much better game than that.

That was the BEST half of football I have ever seen in Houston.
2nd half is what it is, coast mode makes guys not as sharp. Happens everywhere in the league.

W is a W, and looking forward to starting 2-0.

Very sad news about Walter....saw a report of a broken shoulder, out 12+ weeks.....next man up, but we are really gonna miss him with the running game.

Depends how you look at it. The most satisfying half was the 2nd half against the Cowboys nine years ago. It really never gets old.

Maybe they bring back Jeff "You've Got" Maehl to keep all the slow white boy plays in the playbook.

BTW, CBS would like to inform us again that Kerry Collins has a big arm still.

Great win to start the season, the momentum on defense is palpable, Miami is on notice.

Gumble and Dierdoerff almost made me puke the way they pandered to Indy, said they "allowed" us to do what we did. Just kain't get no respect!! We kicked ass and took names. But respect will come with more convincing wins.
