Game Thread W1 - Indianapolis at Houston (1 Viewer)

[TylerRoseFan]

I seriously can't believe that some people thought this team would be ok without Manning. I thought they were bottom 5 without Manning but now I think they're firmly the worst in the league.

Manning doesn't play defense...but dayum! They suck

no but he has long sustained drives the gives them TOP and keeps them off the field. He scores so the defense can stay in the game. Manning doesn't play defense but he has a tremendous impact on the defense.

I know....but dayum! They just look bad.

Pardon me while I giggle like a little girl for awhile.

 

[Major]

As much as I'm enjoying this lead, an Oilers fan can't feel too comfortable being ahead 34 points and a back-up QB at their opponent's helm

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Pardon me while I giggle like a little girl for awhile.

No offense Greg but wouldn't it feel even better if Peyton were the starting QB and not a semi-retired guy? Is this really the test for Houston?

Ouch....I still have nightmares.....

 

[Mister CIA]

Pardon me while I giggle like a little girl for awhile.

You can almost smell 74-0.

 

[caglassc]

Over/Under if we see Painter in this game......KC looks horrible

Daryl Talley should have been called for pass interference.

So you guys stayed fans of Houston as opposed to becoming Titans fans?I'm a Texans fan but wasn't around for the Oilers, just wondered.

As long as the Texans won't take this as a win vs a good team I'll be happy with that.

Doesn't matter. Opening game last year, Texans beat Manning only to end up not making the postseason.

 

[Proximo]

Suppose Arian Foster comes back next week at 100% with no set backs. How much playing time will Tate see for the rest of the year?

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Kerry Collins has passed Joe Montana for 10th all-time passing yards....

 

[Walton Goggins]

Problem with blowing out a bad team is you really don't know what you need to work on or not. Sure Tate and Ward will be used but if Foster is back he's the man. He looks better than Tate (not taking anything away from Tate but he's running against a piss poor run defense today)

 

[Joe Bryant]

How about less HOU gloating and more info on Ward's ankle?

J

 

[Ever Present Lurker]

Been watching for an update on Ward, is he hurt, or is it just all Tate?

 

[Walton Goggins]

How about less HOU gloating and more info on Ward's ankle?J

nothing to say, he's out but they game is over so no need to play him.Tate is also outLooks like Slaton will be on

 

[Walton Goggins]

McClain tweet

With Foster and Tate out, we might get to see Steve Slaton, the 4th back and the 3rd former 1,000-yd runner on the team.

 

[Ever Present Lurker]

Is his ankle hurt? My jackass cousin is texting me saying Ward is out with an ankle sprain. Can anyone confirm or deny?

 

[TylerRoseFan]

Kerry Collins has passed Joe Montana for 10th all-time passing yards....

Wow, I didn't see that coming. I guess time plus consistency equals #10.

 

[Walton Goggins]

13 yrd run by Slaton, his first run

 

[Walton Goggins]

Is his ankle hurt? My jackass cousin is texting me saying Ward is out with an ankle sprain. Can anyone confirm or deny?

no idea, could be minor but with the game over no reason to play him

 

[Walton Goggins]

Now Tate is back

 

[Walton Goggins]

Indy's defense is going to be the biggest issue this season. Can't even stop Slaton or Jones. Texans marching and down to the 30 yrd line

 

[Joe Bryant]

There's lot to say. Did you see him injure it? Did the announcers say anything? Is he standing around on the sideline smiling?Lots of stuff to say if you're watching the game. J

 

[Walton Goggins]

And can't catch Schaub...not a good sign

Nothing to say cause NOTHING has been reported than what you've heard. Just says sprain. McClain said as much and even reported Tate was out (now back in). Nobody saw him injure it so it leads me to believe it's not a major issue so since game is over no reason to bring him in. Announcers said nothing more. Don't see him standing on sideline but camera hasn't panned on sideline either.I'm watching the game, ANYTHING informative I'll post it.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Tate to the 8 yard line

Anything can be informative. That's what I'm talking about. If he's standing around and it doesn't look like any big deal because nobody is sayign anything - that's saying a lot.Say that if that's what's happening. The "my team rocks at your team" stuff though is just lame for these threads. These need to be real info others can use or they'll just turn into the useless game threads you see everywhere else.J

 

[Walton Goggins]

Schaub throws INT

 

[Ignoramus]

Horrible decision by Schaub to force that throw.

Where am I gloating about how my team rocks? In fact, if you bother to read what I've said I've said I hope the Texans won't go away from this sucking their ##### and instead realize that they beat up on a horrible team and move on to next week. In fact, these types of games can actually be a negative because you really don't know where you honestly need to improve.Also the Texans at this point has 2 wins vs Indy and never had a winning record vs. their division. I don't blame Texans fans being excited.Again what's you've heard about Ward is all we all know.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Wish he didn't get to tight at times.

 

[Walton Goggins]

I asked McClain what's the deal with Ward, his reply

Chronicle Sports:

Ward won't play the rest of the game; don't know how serious injury is.

I'm talking about in general. I (and plenty of others) come into this thread to see the news on Ward and what we have is chest bumping and nothing. Nothing like what this thread should be for.J

 

[Walton Goggins]

For the people who aren't watching the game Schaub hasn't looked as impressive as you'd think if you just look at the score and stats.

 

[Ignoramus]

Are you ####### kidding me with that penalty?

Go to some of the other threads where all you read is "OOOF" which is even worse yet you can see multiple "OOOFS" but have no idea what the hell it means.Can't there be a "we are killing them" when there's no info to report?

Indy missed FG

Tate gives it right back with fumble

 

[Walton Goggins]

TEN at HOU 13

 

[Walton Goggins]

I don't think I've ever said this before but Houston's Special teams + Defense > Houston offense today.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Wayne TD back of end zone. Great throw and catch

 

[TylerRoseFan]

TEN at HOU 13

Wait, what?

 

[Ignoramus]

Wayne TD back of end zone. Great throw and catch

I love how the Field Judge who had the play coming right at him waits for the guy who was on the backside of the play and was screened by a defender to signal the TD before putting his arms up.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Ward on sidelines announcer said he's start over Tate if game was close

 

[Ignoramus]

Ward on sidelines announcer said he's start over Tate if game was close

Just checked the DVR: Ward had his right hand on his hip and his helmet in his left hand.

 

[indyram96]

Why is dallas Clark trying to block Williams 1 on 1

 

[Ignoramus]

Asking Dallas Clark to block Mario Williams by himself is not good play design.
