he's back on the sidelines
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
the play before the sack they showed him getting hit and limping
he has returned since but he briefly hit the locker room
we are so easy to predict
i just turned to my wife and said… were gong to run here and get stuffed
go mavs, go colts, go rangers, go baylor
right side OL is run blocking FAIL

People will still blame Addai though

I don't know why we run

How can our run blocking suck so bad
it’s like there isn’t even anyone out there, everyone’s getting through, Addai never has a single chance.
wow a punt again why do we run twice in a row thats like a rule that should never be broken when ur a colt team dont run it twice

Schefter tweets
After one quarter, Peyton Manning has thrown 25 passes. At this rate, he’ll throw 100 passes today
Gee, Adam, you do that math all by yourself? lol
How can you not love a team that does this?

vegaswatch:
The Texans have run 10 offensive plays. Peyton Manning has completed 20 passes.

he would have given those LBs a stern look and they'd have laid down and waited for him to pass

And Manning already has 30 attempts today
We’re gonna need a run game pretty soon. Let’s have Hart out there.

needs to run the ball way better than htey have. We are throwing to much.

Run the ball
Stop the run
havent we seen this problem before? like last year?
Icing the kicker blows
HATE that call. Jay Feeley told a friend of mine that kickers love getting a free practice kick. Serves Caldwell right.
Colts dominate yet only up 10. Not good.
Cant believe that as poorly as the Texans have played we are only down by 10...
Still, we have been a second half team all year. Can we get our shit together and prove it?
Manning is just sick…should be genetically illegal for him to play lol.

I did this a few times at that dump of a site I used to write for so I figured, hell, why not try it out over at Stampede Blue you know? At least this time someone will actually be reading it.
