I agree that picking later in the draft doesn't help the Colts but, other teams have been able to maintain success while picking/trading picks in the later in the 1st like the Steelers, Ravens, and Patriots. I'm sure their drafts since 07 have contributed to more them than Anthony Gonzalez, Tony Ugoh was basically the Colts #1 from 08, Donald Brown, and Jerry Hughes have to the Colts. To add insult those players outside of Ugoh really didn't even fill a need for the Colts.

Drafting at the end of the round makes it tougher. Then the team needs to draft smarter and the Colts haven't done that and it's clearly hurt them.

This game is murder.

Painter could've given us this result.

Not surprised at the score at all.

I am surprised Houston hasn't hit 50 yet unless Kubiak is calling off the dogs.

Gave the ball to Tate on three straight carries last drive. Kubiak is for sure sitting on the ball.

Good job Texans.

Are the Texans still pitching a shutout? Last I saw it was 34-0


OUCH!

No. Ben Tate coughed one up and Wayne made an amazing TD catch.
