    If JJ hadn't tried to jump the count they would have had the ball.

    Yeah, they criticize the matchup, but the linebacker was right there. Great throw and catch.

    As well as 2 DBs in the area :pac:

    Ugh, forgot the first game is the ESPN crew...

    Me too. Everything about their production is shocking now. Commentators. Features. Half time "show". They manage to f*ck up replays sometimes as well.

    Week 2 in Chicago we were treated to some god awful HT music performance instead of seeing Urlacher's speech. The director said the day after they should have shown it. They knew it was happening since May like..

    That was possibly a flag for me on Hopkins. DB never turned his head and dragged him down.

    Only saw it the once, though.

    Every chance it would've been had it been regular season.

    On the replay looked 50:50. I like that they don’t throw flags on those plays in the playoffs.

    Saw on ESPN earlier that this crew averages the least amount of flags per game which is good.

    They were both holding each other. I much prefer seeing refs keep their flags in their pockets on those sort of plays, playing cb is hard enough as it is!

    Hard to argue with that, yeah! Didn't see Hopkins hold at the time, but fair enough.

    Do Houston always start slow? My overriding impression of them from even just Redzone is that they always have some chaisng to do in the 2nd half. As in I have been fully expecting Watson to have to overcome a deficit in the 4th quarter tonight.

    I could be wrong though.

    2 drives
    2 TD's
    2 3rd down penalties by the Texans to extend drives
    Killer for them

    Frank Reich is a really intelligent offensive playcaller. We were blessed we got him after the fiasco with McDaniels.

    The Colts are a proper team. The turn around in their O line is phenomenal. Luck has all day, and they're up against Clowney, Watt, Mercilus et al.

    Most promising for the Colts is that the Texans pass rush hasn’t been a factor yet.

    not a catch for me. dragged his foot before he had the ball and lifted it just as he gained control. Never know in the NFL though.

    just to keep on top of ESPN's poor coverage here, that catch/no catch challenge was a huge moment in this game (even this early on) and they had a single replay, no discussion, cut to break, then missed the announcement that it was a catch.

    If the Colts drive and score with ease again I don't see any chance of a comeback. Entire stadium is deflated already.

    Stadium is dead, yeah.

    Even the effort from the Texans defense on that last play looked done, which is normally daft to say so early in a game.

    Nightmare start for Houston, but we've seen carbon copies of this game, (on Wild Card Weekend), the last two years, and seen great comebacks in the second half.

    Long way to go. Interception just now for Texans might kick them into gear.
