Official Texans @ Colts Game Thread, 12/22/2011

[Big Texas]

So Kubiak has decided that he is only going to call three plays today?

Stretch right

Stretch left

Playaction (tight end drag behind the line of scrimmage).

The Colts have just decided that they are going to overload and cover the tight end for play fakes...

Our offense looks PATHETIC...

[Big Texas]

I am not too concerned with the defense...

I know they have given up some big plays...but the Colts only have 6 (maybe 9) points.

[Arky]

Pass to Wayne gets about 4. 1:48 left in the half.

Pass is tipped at the LOS by Watt, inc. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Flags pre-snap. False start Colts (yay! 1st penalty against the Colts). Makes it 3rd and 11.

Pass to Collie gets 12 and the 1st down.

Addai on the delay for 9. Timeout Colts (have 2 left). 1:14 left in the half.

------------

Pass to Garcon goes for 17.

Pass to Wayne good for 11. 35 seconds left...

Addai for no gain. Timeout Colts. 26 seconds left.

-------------

On 2nd and 9, draw to Addai gets 12. Timeout Colts (last) with 19 seconds left.

--------------

Flags presnap. False start Colts makes it 1st and 15 at the Texan 24.

Deep pass goes out of the endzone, inc. 2nd and 15 coming up.

Pass in the endzone to Wayne is inc. 3rd and 15 coming up. Colts to go for the FG with 9 seconds left.

Vinatieri's FG is no good. 4 seconds left in the half. Texans ball at the 33.

Texans kneel it.

Halftime.

Score remains:

Texans 10, Colts 6

[Big Texas]

I worry that if the Texans defense spends too much time on the field they will eventually wear down and make mistakes.

[popanot]

This offense is in big trouble. Bad OL play, a QB that looks extremely shaky, no deep threat whatsoever, and a horribly predicatable game plan. This team that's playing tonight and the one we got last week is going to get smoked in the playoffs.

Exactly...its the HORRIBLE play of the offense that will ultimately cause some problems for the defense.

If this is the game plan for the playoffs, we WILL get OBLITERATED.

[Big Texas]

OH MY GOODNESS...did you see that block by Duane Brown?

[Arky]

Texans receive the 2nd half kickoff and the ball goes out of the endzone, touchback. Texans ball at their 20.

---------------

Pass to KW over the middle gets 12.

Foster goes left for 5. 2nd and 5 coming up.

Pass to JJ good for 16. Ball at the Colt 48.

Foster cruises for 32.

Tate TFL'ed for -2. 2nd and 12 coming up.

Tate TFL'ed for -2. 3rd and 14 coming up.

Dump to Foster only gets 3. Texans to go for the FG.

Rackers 35-yarder is good.

Texans 13, Colts 6

11:15 left in the 3rd quarter.

[Big Texas]

Mayock was able to call our 3rd down play... (can we say, "predictable")

Whew!
-3.5 half time cover!

[chuck]

We're watching last year's play calling. It's weird to see. Thirteen weeks of relative bliss. I guess it couldn't last.

[Arky]

Rackers kickoff is downed by the Colts. Colts ball at their 20.

-----------------

Pass to Wayne is broken up by KJ. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Brown for 4. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Flags presnap. Offsides Texans. Makes it 3rd and 1 coming up.

Nice tackle JJ Watt. Holds the runner to no gain. Colts have to punt.

Punt goes out of bounds at the Texan 27.

8:50 left in the 3rd quarter.

[Arky]

Foster for 19.

Foster for 1 or 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

Yates is sacked. Flags on the play. Holding on Texans (Winston) is declined. Makes it 3rd and 15.

Foster gains about 7, fumbles, but KW falls on it. Texans have to punt.

Colts fair catch at their 19. Colts ball.

[chuck]

The Texans are playing like a bunch of slapdicks against a one win team.

[Big Texas]

That was CLEARLY an offensive interference....WOW

[popanot]

This is brutal to watch. Offense other than Foster cant do squat and the D can't make a big play to shorten the field.
