Not as concerned about Texans after watching game...

[SkapePhin]

I have the Game Rewind package on nfl.com so I was just watching a bit of the Texans / Colts game. I had previously just seen the box score. The Texans rolled up to a 17 point lead in the 1st Quarter thanks to 2 fumbles by Collins at their own 20. The Texans offense got 2 easy touchdowns because they started within the red zone.

Schaub threw a pick on the first series on a overthrown pass to Andre Johnson that was tipped.

The Texans are still a good team, but not the juggernaught I was expecting. The Dolphins SHOULD match up well with them, as long as Henne performs the way he did on MNF.

Who knows....The Texans didn't really show anything on D as they really played just one half of football.

Texans are not that good they benefited greatly from playing a bad team last week. they do have match up issues for us I hope Vontae can hold Andre and Owen Daniels is a pretty good TE. Arian Foster should be back for this game too. we need to stop the running game first they have a top running game

Ben Tate is better than Foster...if Foster plays a lot, consider it a break.

The same Foster that ran for 97 on 19 carries and a TD in Miami two years ago?

Texans is a Free Win now tht Sapp is gone as well as game 1!! Houston has one WR n a RB vs Killer Bees!!! N Defense is out of the Question!! Dolphins are not goin to lose for awhile!! Meaning all this team needed wass an offense n thts exactly wht yu have now!!!! BALLGAME!!!!

 

[Valandui]

Everytime we've played them when they sucked they beat us. Now that they're actually good you guys think we're going to win?

I think both teams still have plenty of mystery surrounding them, I'm expecting a good game on Sunday.

Finishing watching the rest of the game. On the TD to get to 24, it should have been an INT. It hit a Colt defender right in the hands then ricocheted off to Andre Johnson for a TD... The Colts essentially spotted the Texans 21 points in this game...

No game is a free win and the Phins have got to be at their best mentally and physically. The Texans game is no slouch but surprisingly I feel a lot more comfortable playing this game then prior to the season starting.

I watched the Texans game and Schaub started with two roll outs and then threw a horrible pass to a wide open Johnson that was intercepted. Their second series they moved the ball well on the ground but you have to remember that the Colts defense without Bob Sanders is average at best. The drive ended with a FG after another pass was nearly picked in the end zone by the Colts. As mentioned above, the Colts first play on the ensuing drive Collins fumbled on the 13 yard line and Schaub took advantage, then Collins did it again on the next drive. The Colts never recovered from that 2 minutes the Texans put up 17 points.

The Texans defense is still a weak link that can't be assessed because of how bad the Colts offense is without Manning. Jeff Saturday was the only returning starter and the Texans were effective against that line. Defensively there is cause for concern with Mario Williams going against Columbo and Sparano will have to counter to keep Williams quiet. The addition of Joseph at CB was a solid pickup but the remainder of the secondary is suspect.

The Texans played a very physical game against the Colts which is something that doesn't concern me going against the Dolphins. I don't really buy into the mental theory that the Phins have never beaten the Texans because they have never played at a critical point in the season or playoffs, nor are they a divisional rival. I think the Phins have just had some bad luck and questionable coaching when they play them.

And then the final score was a kick return. The starters pretty much relaxed in the 2nd half... They won't be as battle tested as the Dolphins. I am starting to like our chances.

That's the thing though, when have they actually been good? They were this powerhouse team last year that lost what 10 games in a weak division. Every year they're looked at as a good team and every year they are mediocre to ****ty. Their D is still a big problem. If they can't win that ****ty division this year hopefully this non sense about how great they are stops. They started off like 3-0 last year and everyone thought they were an elite team. THEY WERE WORSE THAN US.

I was at this game live and just let me say no one has a clue to what Houston has to offer because the Colts were terrible.
Worst half of football I've watched. Colts fumble twice one their play in a series inside there 20. Colts will finish 4-12 this year if they are lucky or Peyton comes back for December.
