WK1: Colts at Texan Gameday & Discussion

[thunderkyss]

Hoping for the upset. My good friend Evan Williams says we got this

 

[Goodwrench3]

GO TEXANS!!!

 

[Thorn]

Finally. Now we get to see what they got. Hopefully it's something good.

Anyone have a link to the game? Sunday Ticket isn't working for me right now.

I know it's the first game of the season, but I feel like playing Matt Ryan/division opponent to open the season is a solid test. Hopefully it's a competitive, injury free game that ends with a well earned win.

 

[Lucky]

Where can I find the number of games Clay Walker sang the Anthem? And what the Texans record is when he does?

 

[steelbtexan]

Loved the pregame festivities

and he is actually Beaumont/Vidor's own

 

[Lucky]

Pierce three in a row.

 

[Bugman7star]

Nice opening defensive stand. Let's see what our starting offense can do. Watching O-Line closely...

 

[steelbtexan]

Heck in at TE

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Okay….nice start by the Texans defense. Pitre playing a nice roll already.

 

[Revrat]

No run up the middle for 1 yard to start the game? WTF?

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Liked Pierce’s run. Looked like no quit in those legs. Sucked it was a 3 -n- out.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Sparse crowd…..how does that affect local viewing if it’s not a sell-out?

 

[vtech9]

Liked Pierce’s run. Looked like no quit in those legs. Sucked it was a 3 -n- out.

Unlikely drop by Cooks.

 

[Lucky]

My good friend Evan Williams says we got this

Evan is never wrong. Unless he's driving.

 

[dream_team]

Liked Pierce’s run. Looked like no quit in those legs. Sucked it was a 3 -n- out.

Was hoping they'd call his number again on 3rd down.

 

[justmy2cents]

Hello Men .... and Lady .... We're gon'na kill 'em !!

 

[Texansballer74]

Cook has to catch those.

 

[dream_team]

Unlikely drop by Cooks.

Need to see replay, but ball looked a bit too early & hot from Mills.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Collins….nice stop!!!!

 

[santo]

Sparse crowd…..how does that affect local viewing if it’s not a sell-out?

Not that much anymore like when the Oilers were here. Last season they showed every game locally no matter what the attendance is.

How the hell was that a first.

 

[thunderkyss]

Watch how active Frank Ross is on the sidelines. Not just on STs. Looks like he’s involved on every play.

 

[powerfuldragon]

yellow line guy is off today.

 

[H_Town_Gaucho]

Checking in, poppers ready.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

How the hell was that a first.

It looked short to me. Too early for a challenge flag. Texans defense holds the drive to 3 pts….I’ll take that.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

How the hell was that a first.

The TV line to gain was about a yard off from the field marker. It was definitely a 1st down.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Texans are selling out to stop Taylor. But they will need the offense to stay on the field longer than 3 plays this next drive or they will tire out and start giving up chunk plays.

12 play drive for Colts and couldn’t make it to redzone. Gave up two passes on 3rd down but all in all solid stand by the defense limiting chunk plays and flying to the ball.

 

[thunderkyss]

How the hell was that a first.

That yellow line was way off. Look at the marker on the sideline. He actually caught the ball at the line of gain

 

[thunderkyss]

Oj in the game

 

[TheRealJoker]

Pierce makes even minimal gains exciting

 

[steelbtexan]

Conley has to catch that.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Mills needs to make a better throw on that pass to Conley. Needs to relax and stop rushing.

Conley could’ve made a better play as well… but we don’t expect much out of Conley. We expect Mills to be our starting QB that makes that routine 3rd down play like Ryan did on the last drive.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Conley should’ve had that one.

 

[thunderkyss]

Still need to settle down

 

[Bugman7star]

That ball was catchable. It also could have been a better pass from Mills.

 

[Lucky]

Justin Britt whiffing on a block. Chris Conley dropping a pass for a sure 1st down.

Yep, this roster is not there, yet.

 

[Earl34]

Mills needs to make a better throw on that pass to Conley. Needs to relax and stop rushing.

Conley could’ve made a better play as well… but we don’t expect much out of Conley. We expect Mills to be our starting QB that makes that routine 3rd down play like Ryan did on the last drive.

Yep. A better pass and it hits him in stride.

 

[vtech9]

could have been a better pass, but Conley still needs to catch that.

 

[gafftop]

Mills not showing any composure . Looks rushed and scared. Easy throw no need to rush.

 

[mitaban]

Hit him in stride you pos.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Texans defense need to make a big play and seize momentum this drive.

 

[steelbtexan]

Mills needs to make a better throw on that pass to Conley. Needs to relax and stop rushing.

Conley could’ve made a better play as well… but we don’t expect much out of Conley. We expect Mills to be our starting QB that makes that routine 3rd down play like Ryan did on the last drive.

While true, I expect a professional WR to make that catch.

Metchie makes that catch.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Here come the chunk plays. Can only contain them so long. Offense needs to stay on the field next drive.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Defense spending a lot of time on the field early.

 

[steelbtexan]

Kirksey cant get off blocks.
