Nice drop

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Defense looks good tonight.

 

[Goodwrench3]

The team is really disciplined today! Nice!

 

[DocBar]

Defense is showing up nicely. Glad to see Merci getting after the QB.

 

[buffalo2269]

Go get'em Case

 

[Rey]

I think he can figure all this out. He's got a hell of an arm man.

Yeah he does.

I need to see more from case. I like the big plays, but I want to see some more chain moving throws and for him to be more secure with the ball. Only his second start though so I'll keep my expectations in check.

 

[Austrian]

Very good energy on defense. Like what I see.

 

[srrono]

Defense looks good tonight.

Playing with a lead is a whole different world.

 

[PapaL]

We gave away six points so far. :mariopalm:

I'm not mad about the 4th & 1. We're 2-5, at home, and playing outstanding. Every other game we'd be mad that we kicked a FG. The Offense failed to get a yard, that simple. I'm personally tired of the FG contest we normally are.

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Wow... Case makes something out of nothing again.

 

[mussop]

Merci looked good on that stunt. Let's see some more of that.

 

[Mr. Texan]

i really hate when the texans run on 2nd down

 

[AndyWin]

While we all love the long ball, Case really needs to put together some long sustaining drives as well. Sigh

 

[PapaL]

We gotta keep the pedal to the metal. Winning the division is the ONLY way we'll make the playoffs.

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Oh, there's our special teams.

 

[Mr. Texan]

While we all love the long ball, Case really needs to put together some long sustaining drives as well. Sigh

ill take 2 quick td drives over 2 long drives that end in 2 fg's any day tho

 

[legacy_gt]

it looks like Hopkins isn't running his routes...case had his hands up on that last play

 

[DocBar]

I can't believe there weren't any blocking in the back calls on that punt. I saw two.

 

[AndyWin]

I saw a blatant hold and block in the back on that return... wtf

 

[Bulls on Parade]

I can't believe there weren't any blocking in the back calls on that punt. I saw two.

Why is our special teams play so bad? Kicking, returning and return coverage. Only Shane Lechler's punting is good. Joe Marciano, what's up?

 

[Big Lou]

Oh, there's our special teams.

Pretty bad no call on the hold against the first gunner. Typical no call in a Texans/Colts game.....

 

[PapaL]

Here we go...

 

[aussie_texan]

joke of a decision

 

[buffalo2269]

Crap

 

[NCTexan]

wat

Such bull****.

 

[steds]

It isn't Sunday without a Kareem Jackson PI call

 

[AndyWin]

Kareem Jackson has a huge play made or called on him EVERY single week

 

[Rey]

While we all love the long ball, Case really needs to put together some long sustaining drives as well. Sigh

This.

I don't know what's going on, but we have to have a better internisiate and short throwing game.

Sounds funny saying that. But really...we need some diversity.

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Dumb play KJ.

 

[aussie_texan]

joke of a decision

actually probably the right call

 

[PapaL]

Merci is all over the field tonight.

 

[DocBar]

That was a bull**** PI call. I hate spot of the foul on PI's. I like the college rule better.

 

[Mr. Texan]

let's see this great redzone defense:mariopalm:

 

[OzzO]

I SO hate the PI call at spot of penalty.

Ninja sighting!

 

[AndyWin]

Damn... defensive line is AWAKE

 

[PapaL]

All up in Luck's A$$ tonight!

 

[Mr. Texan]

let's see this great redzone defense:mariopalm:

whoa..

 

[OzzO]

Nice step up D!

 

[DocBar]

Helluva D stand there!!!!

 

[76Texan]

Very good energy on defense. Like what I see.

What a D line; hell yeah!

 

[Lurvinator11]

Holding them to 3 in the RZ? I'll take it

 

[OzzO]

Alright, gimmie a Texans TD drive to close out the first half

 

[NCTexan]

Apparently when it comes to Andrew Luck we're playing wrap football...

 

[PapaL]

3:30 left in the half, up 14-3. Let's run it to 21-3 and go to half.

 

[Bulls on Parade]

Adda boy Antonio Smith.

You are worth that contract even if you only dominate one or two games a year.

 

[STEEL BLUE TEXANS]

Need to get some points before the half.

 

[76Texan]

All up in Luck's A$$ tonight!

LOL!

 

[EllisUnit]

i cant believe that BS was a PI call, the ref was on the other side there is no way he saw that little grab of the jersye, even so was still BS of a call. i see worse stuff every play.

 

[Goodwrench3]

We need a Td NOW

 

[Premier]

they need to change the pi rule.. if its used by the defense to save a td by grabbing/holding then it should be a spot foul. if its two guys battling for the ball and the db gets called for something it should be 10-15 auto first.. its unfair how much PI gets called on deep throws, corners have the toughest job in this game. they gotta watch their man, the qb, the ball, they have to look for th efootball regardless of the outcome..
