Default First week means nothing...but the "Super Bowl favorites" are/did have a bad week

Looking at Indy getting smoked by the Texans...getting the ball run down their throat, the Cowboys looking like the Cowboys (bad)...the Pats were supposed to be "has beens", Pittsburgh winning...I could go on and on. Just goes to tell you what the "experts" know..."Marino, Cowher, Sharpe, Irvin, Sapp, oh...and the ultimate douchebag...Marshall Faulk!

Again, I know it is one week...but I love seeing these idiots get proven worng. They base their opinions on their "feelings"...

Default OT: Houston/Colts

Houston ran through the Colts all day long, actually the second half. The RB for the Texans, was an undrafted player a year ago. Ran for 230 plus. On the last TD, the Colts gave up. On defense, Houston was pressuring Manning pretty good. Colts I'm sure will make adjustments, but two things are for sure. Right now, they can not stop the run, and thier offensive line is suspect.

Peyton's stats are pretty misleading, the Colts got pooped on.

colts have an easy schedule this year. they will proceed to win the next 6 or 7 games and they will become the media favorites again.

If Bob Sanders is out for any length of time expect teams to 'copycat' what the Texans did on offense. Most of the Texans yards on the ground came after (surprise), Sanders went out early in the game.

Colts got run over, both literally and figuratively. On the other hand it is way too early to write them off. This is still the same team that was knocking on the door of an undefeated season last year, and won as many games as anybody over the last eight or ten years.

This. I am elated the Colts lost today, but I remember how bad they looked early 2008 before reeling off 9 straight wins and how awful their run D was in 2006, thinking that team could never win a SB with how bad they were getting run on. Long way to go. But major props to the Texans, everytime I kept seeing the score pop up at the bottom of the screen all I could think was wow how is Houston going to blow it this time and they finished the job this time.

God I love watching the highlights of this game. For one, I love seeing the Colts get their asses beat. For another, Arian Foster is on my fantasy team. Needless to say, he played a huge part in my blowout win today.

No freakin' way. I watched that game, and I don't care if Sanders was in or not. Houston was blowing holes in the Colts line a semi could have driven through. Sanders would have helped, but not that much. They RB ran for 231.

Default Re: OT: Houston/Colts

The colts usually end up with a good regular season record, but the last couple of years they've done so by squeeking out some last minute come from behind victories. Maybe the team is about as good, but if they aren't able to make the big comebacks this year, 13-3 quickly becomes 10-6.

Who knows- it's only one game, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it!
