PrintThe Colts closed another 4th quarter deficit to hold on for a win after Kris Brown's game tying FG attempt as time expired sailed wide left.
The Colts dominated the first 28 minutes of play, but starting with a Manning INT while in FG range the Texans scored 17 unanswered to take a 4 point lead going into the 4th quarter aided by Caldwell icing what turned out to be a blocked FG (2nd attempt was made) and a end around pass by Reggie Wayne being picked off.
Peyton Manning went 34 for 50, gaining 314 yards with a TD and an INT. Dallas Clark was the primary target picking up 14 receptions for 119 yards and an additional first down from a defensive holding call on 3rd and short. After some early struggles the Colts running game picked up with Joseph Addai averaging 4.5 yards a carry and scoring the winning TD on a powerful goalline run.
Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis teamed up for a combined 2 sacks off Matt Schaub's 45 dropbacks. Jerraud Powers picked off his first career pass and made a veteran play to recover a fumble for a touchback likely saving Indy a TD). Clint Session recorded 13 tackles and picked off a 4th quarter pass that very nearly ended the game.
The Colts move to an undefeated 8-0, the Texans drop to 5-4, but appear to be a playoff caliber team (if they play more disciplined football than they did today).
UPDATE: redid the poll since I neglected Powers and Addai's great days.

None of the above. Joseph Addai.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
if someone can find his stats against the texans.......
I swear he plays better against them

Unless
I lose in fantasy. Then Addai sucks for getting 22 points.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Another good choice.
2 turnovers.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
damn I knew I was forgetting people
I’m going to see if I can re-do the poll
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Brackett
really deserves more credit for that INT

Saints are down by 14 to the Panthers
Maybe we will be the last undefeated team.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
I think
Carolina can do it…they got a pretty good run game.
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
I'd give my game ball
to Eric Foster. He played great when he was needed.
2nd game ball goes to Jerraud Powers.
We had a lot of good games from players
For a 3 point win. Powers, Foster, Freeney, Session, Addai, Peyton, and Clark. Just 2 bad drives and a bad timeout really.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
19 votes
none for Peyton. know why? kuz its same old same old for peyton. he does this every week. we are spoiled
As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.
He also had a costly pick
Just sayin’.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
the pick WAS NOT
Peyton’s fault. WAS NOT WAS NOT WAS NOT!
Nothing personal CH, but if one more person puts it on Peyton, I’m gonna make a fanpost about this and force shake to put it on the main page. The INT occurred because Collie ran the wrong route. It was intercepted by a guy that Manning didn’t see and couldnt anticipate because he should have been running to the sideline in coverage of collie.
Being an asshole doesn't make you wrong. :)
if the play was busted then peyton shouldnt have forced the ball. it was peyton's fault, sorry.

It wasn’t a busted play. Collie ran the wrong route. Manning is not a super computer that knows when people run the wrong route. If he waits to check every receiver to make sure they are doing their job he’d have a 100% sack rate.

wow schoub through for 311 yards 7 less then manning in 43 attempts even after his bad start
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!
Meh
His start wasn’t that bad. He just had a pick.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
hey guys many thing went wrong but many things went right also
we have a defense and at this point of the season i rather have a struggling offense than a bad defense , offense will get their mojo back, offense have manning and wayne , i think our WR are banged up a lil they will get it together , any way this game wasnt supposed to be by 3 at the end the timeout on the 56 yarder was a fortunate event for them , again im pleased at how the defense came up with all the injuries in the air , i want o take a look at the defense number they should be good. and we are 8-0 go COLTS!!!!!!
game ball to the Texans Kicker Brown :) joke ball to J addai , by the way garcon is not afraid of the middle guys
How about a poll for who doesn't get the game ball
I vote for Jennings….all that damn cushion…
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
Yep
Jennings proves why people were freaking out when we learned Jackson and Hayden were out.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
but still not bad...
for a rookie with little experience. I like his potential much more than any other DB on the roster.
Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station.

wow no votes for manning

He's got 1 now
But he definitely wasn’t our best player today. He had an average day for Peyton.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Yeah because...
right now the last two weeks. Manning seems to be struggling to get the ball in the endzone. Our redzone effieciency has sucked lately. It needs fixed.

chris johnson
tried to do his best addai impression against the niners. failed.
As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.
Damn, this poll is too hard
I wanna vote for Addai because of his 112 total yards and the 4.5 ypc, but I also wanna give some love to Powers for his 2 TOs and very smart decision on the fumble…who does a girl vote for?!?!
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
Go with Addai
His numbers were good but considering how much he had to do to get those numbers, the game ball is his. He ended up with quite a bit of the dreaded “dancing in the back field” but made guys miss. His rushing TD was all Addai, no o-line.
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
Colts had good and bad
Bad: Our pass offense seems to be having issues, plus lost time of possession in the second qutr
Good: Freeney, Powers, Sessions showed they are good defense. I’m glad our defense is playing good.
I think Freeney and Sessions deserve game ball. They had some good run-stuffing plays and Freeney rocked some sacks and Sessions had a good INT.
Buahahahahahahaha
Titans just tried a halfback pass against the 49ers! Didn’t work. Chris Johnson is no Joe Addai.

You have the Tits game?
Were do you live?
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
oh, okay
I’m in Memphis, but I guess since they’ve been awful so far this season, the CBS station here decided to stop showing their games…thank you football gods!!

question
freeneys second sack he only got half??
As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.
Yes
Mathis got the other half
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Mathis got the other half
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
the scorers might change it later this week
it happens regularly

It was close
they both hit Schaub
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
i saw
freeney take him to the ground, then mathis touched him. freeney should get it
As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.
I'm not gonna worry about it.
We got the sack, we got the win.

whats up with the fucking trick plays , wayne throwing the ball?
hows to blame for doing this we aint no fucking dolphins , we have the best QB to ever play the game and we are doing stunts out there come on coaches , im starting to miss Coach Dungy
they're 50 percent on the trick plays
i think they’ll quit with that success rate.
by torontocoltsfan on Nov 8, 2009 4:42 PM EST up reply actions
not if you count the end arounds
they have run
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
I like that we take chances, but
there is a time and place. It definitly wasn’t either. Last week perfect, this week no. If we do use plays like that then Wayne, Addai, or whoever else throws needs to know that it is ok to throw the ball away or just try to run yourself. You are not a quarterback so if the reciever is covered please DON"T THROW IT

I missed Dungy the moment...
Freakin Caldwell calls a TO right before a blocked kick. COME ON icing rarely works!

I think
He just wanted to put someone in the endzone in case the kick was short. But I agree that it probably wasnt worth calling anyway
by UnofficialPants on Nov 8, 2009 4:54 PM EST up reply actions
That was the most stupid
thing I’ve ever seen. I definitely lost a bit of admiration for him with that chicken-shit tactic.
Now I see what Brown can do for you
Yes, I know Addai did have 4.5 ypc, but I have a feeling that Brown would’ve had at least one big run play for like 40+ yards today.
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
i think
we’re saving Brown for the last stretch including playoffs. i think they know he can run and are holding him out to ride him to a super bowl!
As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.
Man, I hope so!
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
Ummm...
A more disciplined team would have beat our asses to the ground. If we play like this against NE next week, we are in deep $hit…we had a lot of help from all those penalties, yet, after the first half, Houston completely had their way with our defense. Way too much of a cushion to their receivers in that zone and Schaub really picked us apart and did a great job getting the ball out of his hand real quick. Nonetheless, we need our sure-handed receiver back in Gonzo ASAP…Garcon drops wayyyyy too many! Our offense needs to start putting up those TD’s, and as much as I like Collie, there is and will always be one Stokley.
Thank goodness for Dallas Clark.
GO COLTS
yea
In my return from my self-imposed hiatus for the 2nd half (the beer is just NOW kicking in) I’m going to echo this and what I said last week: Close games might be good for the soul, but other than the W in the W-L column, they are more telling about a teams flaws. How many drives today got to 3rd and 1 or shorter and the Colts thre a pass? You have GOT TO BE ABLE TO GET THE SIX FUCKING INCHES IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE.
Also, I understand the Texans had a TON of penalties called against them, but how was there no 15yarder on them for cleaning Manning’s clock after he slid? That penalty, which should have been called, would have probably iced the game because we would have been in field goal range and had a chance to punch it in.
Being an asshole doesn't make you wrong. :)
so far the past 2 weeks
they been able to stop our YAC and they were big the first games of the season
I'm worried about the secondary
Secondary gave up too many deep passes. If they do that enough number of times next week… goodbye to any shot at undefeated season.
Oh no!
an Undefeated season would be nice but
I think it is too much stress and expectations. All of it crushed the Patriots, well that and David Tyree. But I think I would rather have one loss in the season then go into the playoffs undefeated.

Is it just me....
or does anyone else find it humorous that the biggest game in Houston Texans history was today and it resulted in a loss. Way to set your expectations high. LOL

It the biggest game of the year usually
for anyone playing the Colts. Just the way it is…….
Collie
I hope Collie is ok, last thing we need is another injury…especially at WR. He had a rough game today…dropped some that touched his hands. He is a Rookie though…
