Props to the Defense,

[tfunky14]

Didn't give up a TD the whole game..Great job D...

[HungarianColtsFan]

Hats off to them, they deserved it! They carved this win.

 

I wonder why our O is so sloppy recently? Are they out of fuel? Luck had to do a lot by himself during this season.

[Superman]

Really good defense. Some sloppy run fits and weak tackling at times, but overall, a really good game. Texans didn't have their veteran receiver (Hopkins is more dangerous than AJ, but still), and they had a bad-to-worse QB situation, but the defense still did their job and really carried the team for most of the game. Two thumbs up.

[PeterBowman]

They ve stepped up 2 weeks in a row.

Luck has half the turnovers over this past month, including two pick-sixes. He's absolutely our best and most important player, and he has been the difference in most of our games, but he's not without fault.

 

I'm glad the team is finding ways to win even when not playing their best football, at home and away. But I'd like to see a clean performance for a change, especially by the offense.

[Flash7]

Defensed played well. Offense constantly put them in bad spots and didn't allow them any rest.

[Cynjin]

Really good job overall, not happy about the offsides penalties, but can't complain too much. Now the offense is another story, I was disappointed with the separation created by the WRs.

[coltsfanatic24]

Defense played great but it was against a rookie QB. Romo is a top 10 QB, lets see if they can show up next week.

[PeterBowman]

D allowed 3.3 ypc...not bad

[tomloge]

Happy with the defense, but let's remember that Houston really doesn't have much of an offense to begin with.

[Smonroe]

I was at the game, it looked like they played base defenses the entire game after Fitz went out.

[doc108]

Great defense. Really did a great job stopping our blistering offensive attack featuring a third string QB, dropped handoffs, and a couple of big missed calls. Practice biting the pillow Indy because Brady's going in dry.

[runthepost]

Murray romo dez witten if we stop then I'll be happy but whenever we play a good offense our d is terrible

[texascolt]

I didn't think the defense played so good.  They couldn't stop the run when they knew it was coming.  If the

Texans had decent a QB, they would be hard to beat.

[yankeeclipper]

I think Houston offense had a lot to do with our defense stopping them. Savage is green and was not much of a threat to Colts once Fitzpatrick was injured.. Foster had good game and he was largely  Texans offense. Colt offense had a hard time finding a rhythm. Last drive that Colts had to put up FG was about the extent of the Colts offense in 2nd half. In terms of performance: Nicks made a few good plays. TRichardson had a few runs where he put decent yardage. He also made a nice catch and run for 16 yards. Boom looked good on last key drive. Werner put up a good game. Luck was off most of the game although a few of his misses could have easily been yellow flags against Texans.

[colts_mp]

Well let's keep a level head here.  We just played 2 abysmal offenses the last 2 weeks.  We'll find out a lot more next week.

[Bluefire4]

They've played well much of the season. I never thought I'd see the day where the defense steps up and the offense has problems.

[coltsfansince65]

Awww Dont worry. Someday your team will have a real QB too. Don't be all butthurt because you don't have a HOF QB like Brady to....as you say...go in dry..........

[MacDee1975]

Yes, definitely.

 

Props to our defense for making it so that our starting QB scored more points for our opponent than our opponent did....

 

Glad we were victorius, yet again, in this years version of "biggest game in Texan franchise history"....lol

This guy... I like.

[Old Colt]

Didn't give up a TD the whole game..Great job D...

Defense has played great last 2 games, only reason Colts won.  Colts offense has scored the bulk of the points for the opposition , literally, the last 2 weeks.  Unless something changes dramatically they are set up fpr a New England or Pittsburgh style blowout loss next week vs Dallas.  Who would have thought the defense would have to carry Colts....  hope they fix it soon....

[pgt_rob]

Foster with 99 yards and no touchdowns. Not bad. I really like their rookie running back Alfred Blue. He has some crazy burst and power.

[Moopsiepuffs]

The defense has bailed the offense out a number of times this season. Kinda bizarre considering how strong the offense has been statistically. 

[SilentHill]

We've played 2 really good defenses the last two weeks. Expect a turnaround next week at Dallas.

[krunk]

I expect a good performance from the Defense next week as well.  We should be able to play good complimentary football. Offensively I think we'll be able to sustain some long clock eating drives against that defense, which should rest our D.  I think we can slow that Dallas running attack down enough, and we can shut down the passing game by doubling Dez, or Witten. Butler and Toler will take care of Beasley and Williams.

[lollygagger8]

The last two QB's we've played have been pretty terrible, so I'm reserving judgement until we play the Cowboys. Not that I think Romo is awesome, but he's light years ahead of Hoyer, and Savage. 

 

I will say Freeman has been playing much recently. Kudos to him! 

[HtownColt]

@MyColtsAccount: Worth noting another decent performance by D'Qwell. Over the past 4 weeks, he is PFF's 2nd-highest graded ILB, & has the best Run D grade.

@MyColtsAccount: Over the past 4 weeks, Jerrell Freeman has also been PFF's top-graded ILB in coverage (+6.9). ILB play is improving, in their proper roles.

Freeman was bad in coverage against Washington. PFF gave him a +2.4. I don't know what they were watching.

I was thinking the same thing when I rewatched that game

[Superman]

I'm not an anti PFF guy, either, but their grading in that game was way off, IMO. They graded Josh Gordy highly in that one, also...

 Silliness. Their O was/is bad.

They could have won the game just running Arian Foster and Alfred Blue. We held them scoreless.
