Week Three: Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans- Open Thread

Indianapolis Colts (2-0) at Houston Texans (2-0)

Week Three: Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans

Location: Reliant Stadium Houston, TX

Kick-off time: 1:00 pm ET

Broadcast: CBS

Key injuries: Rob Morris is out for the second week in a row. This likely means Rocky Boiman gets the start again at SAM. Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders were held out of some practices this past week, but both are fine and both are expected to play.

I have to give a ton of credit to Texans fans for the blogging they'd done leading up to this game. And as I give them credit, I now have to take a giant Craphonso on the national media, in particular ESPN. I've watched a lot of TV this weekend because 1) I'm not feeling well, and 2) I'm bored. And while watching all this TV, all I keep hearing about is the Texans, the Texans, the Texans. "Hey look! It's the Texans. If they win they're, like, good aren't they?" Kind of left out of all this Texans-uphoria is the defending Champs are playing, and that slight has irked me. Like all things ESPN, rather than simply report the news of the game, they are hyping up what they want to happen, kind of like last week. Makes me sick.

That said, here's to a good, clean game with no injuries. Go Colts!

Radio stream?

I've found that you can't get a radio stream because the NFL makes affiliates take down their stream during games.... Is their any alternative to the overpriced NFL field pass?

WOWO

Fort Wayne radio station. I'm listening to it right now.

Yes

It's your media player then. Check the setting and make sure you have the right updates. Also, are you using IE7 or Firefox?

A little late, but ESPN sucks cojones. At least here in Brazil they do.

Once again

Special team coverages are awful. This game is a total blowout if not for these crappy coverages.

Addai-Keith Split

So far it looks like Keith is getting more carries/playing time each week. I love it. This needs to keep up.

by shake n bake on Sep 23, 2007 3:12 PM EDT reply actions

Problem?

We need some serious work on Special Teams. I just watched several Colts vault over defenders on that kickoff, while the Kick Returner just casually ran to the side. Stay on your feet, boys!

4th Quarter

The Colts defense finally surrenders a TD. It is amazing to think about how this game would be an utter blood bath if not for the horrendous Colts kick coverages today.
