What a great game this was to watch! Great win for the Colts, GREAT finish!!
But to be honest, the Colts did not win this game, the Texans lost it!! Sage Rosenfels should never ever start another game EVER again!! He single handedly lost this game for them. I could not believe what I was watching!! Took me back to "THE" Houston Oilers and Buffalo Bills game from the early 90s! Anyone remember that game? Great comeback for the Colts!

The Comeback was the same thing - not keeping it on the ground and running out the clock when leading late. And when someone tells me "well, the run-and-shoot Oilers didn't have that in their offense. What a crock. They had Lorenzo White who ran for 1,200+ yards that season.
Watched the 4th quarter (after deviating from my weekly Lions calamity), and have to say that was a very "Lions like" loss for Houston. Inexcusable loss for the Texans. Terrible coaching and terrible decision making by Rosenfels. They snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, and that is the mark of a bad team. Believe me, as a Detroit fan I should know.
Horrible for Houston, have they beaten the Colts recently?, I cant remember.
Houston Texans have only beat the Colts once in their brief history. I believe it was 2 years ago, maybe 3, it was in Houston and took a last minute drive and/or field goal, can't remember exactly.
The Texans find ways to lose, seriously!! They should have won today, no excuses!

RUN THE FOOTBALL and protect it with your life when in the lead late in the game! I don't understand watching high school teams calling pass/rollout plays late in the fourth quarter when they're ahead, and I can't even begin to comprehend watching it in the NFL.
What's amazing is that, for 55 minutes, the Texans played flawless football despite being down early. They responded with 27 unanswered points. It looked like they had it in the bag. I'll never forget all the frustrated looks on Peyton Manning's face when the Texans were up. Those were priceless. Imagine if the Texans had been more careful in the last few minutes of the game........
The good news is that they will be playing at home all month. Not one single road game. They get another opportunity starting next week.
.....sad, sad finish. Really. I mean, it's one thing to have a good team comback on you. But it's another to just break down and GIVE the game away like that. Rosenfels will NOT start again, I can assure you....
The Texans should play the Dolphins every week. They are 4-0 all-time against Miami, and they're the only team the Dolphins have never beaten.
