Week 1: Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans

[Other Guy]

Great game to go to. I was treated to about the best half of football you could ask for. The Texans dominated on offense, defense, and special teams. The second half was just a formality.

Good ****. Just gotta not be so sloppy when calling the dogs off.

Loved what the defense did. Lots of aggression early, high motor stuff. Any questions about Mario as an OLB were answered. If the TE's expected to guard him, it's over for everyone.

REALLY sucks to lose Walter for 10-12 weeks. He's a great blocker and an automatic pass-catcher.

Foster/Ward/Tate is dangerous. Super dangerous.

Schaub really has to stop with the random bonehead throws/picks. They have proven to be costly in the past.

Didn't know Kerry Collins has never beaten Wade Phillips in his entire career.

[100% Texan]

looks like mario is getting adjusted to OLB.

schuab still make bad throws a times.

o-line is still a beast.

The Colts without Manning...



They are who we thought they were. A below average football team.

They had a guy who came out of retirement two weeks ago as their QB. Collins is who we thought he was. An old washed journeyman QB that was the most assessable guy they could get their hands on at the time.

This is the FO fault for not having a serviceable back-up QB. In no way does this diminishes the ability of the players on offense. We saw CJ2K have an awful day after the hold out and he's arguably the best at his position and in the beginning of his prime. Did you really expect Collins to learn and execute an offenses scheme he only had for a couple of weeks?

Collins was doing those exact same fumbles and botched snaps all the way up until the end of last season with the Titans. I expect him to get better as he did from 2006 onwards with the Titans, but those Collins-isms are there to stay. He will get comfortable enough to hit a few nice TDs in time, but he's a net loss kinda QB - and has almost always been this way.
