Kerry Collins started in place for the injured Peyton Manning to end Peyton's consecutive starting streak at QB, but he fumbled on two series of playin the first half.. Colts trailed 34-0 at halftime. the largest deficit in the entire 58-year history of the franchise. Houston did all their scoring of the game in the first half, but the Colts finally scored on a Collins 6 yard TD pass to Reggie Wayne three minuites into the fourth quarter, with an Adam Viniteiri PAT, for the only score in the second half, with the the Texans winning 34-7.

[87waynefan]

Whoa, let's not get too carried away. I'd like to win on April 26. :rolleyes:

[87waynefan]

I'm just hoping this isn't Reggie's last home game. Not to mention Mathis, Saturday and Diem.

[21isSuperman]

I'm just hoping this isn't Reggie's last home game. Not to mention Mathis, Saturday and Diem.

I think Saturday might retire after this year. Diem should go, he had a terrible season. I'm hoping Reg stays, but his attitude towards the situation is terrible; if we lose him, I really hope it's via a trade so we get something back instead of just losing him to free agency. I really want us to keep Mathis.

[21isSuperman]

They just showed the clip of Hunter Smith tackling Deion! Sanders typically had an excuse, "I was chasing Marvin Harrison and all those young guys all game"

[21isSuperman]

Marshall and Irvin showing the Colts some love!

[Case]

Colts clinch 1st pick with loss tonight. Let's see what happens.

[Case]

Wow. All of our stars r getting old.

[21isSuperman]

Deion: Reggie Wayne will not be in Indy next year

[Case]

Ur watching delayed too?

[Case]

Irsay: if there is a great young qb available they will take him

[Coltssouth]

I love how they keep showing Peyton out there smiling and joking around.

He is normally so intense.

[21isSuperman]

Does anyone else find Jay Glazer really annoying?

[21isSuperman]

I love how they keep showing Peyton out there smiling and joking around.

He is normally so intense.

He won't stop talking . Every clip they show of him, he is talking and everyone around him is just nodding and smiling

[NM_Colts]

Does anyone else find Jay Glazer really annoying?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I was just telling myself that I'd like to mama-dog slap him and shut him up.

[Case]

Does anyone else find Jay Glazer really annoying?

Very very annoying. You should watch a MMA event where he's the announcer. I mute it

[NM_Colts]

They just showed the clip of Hunter Smith tackling Deion! Sanders typically had an excuse, "I was chasing Marvin Harrison and all those young guys all game"

He referred to him as Chris Gardocki (the former punter, #17) but it WAS Hunter Smith. He either made an honest mistake or didn't want to give Hunter the credit.

[21isSuperman]

Still half an hour left until kickoff...time is going so slowly!

[21isSuperman]

NM and Blue - he is so loud. All he does to get his point across is yell. He compared Peyton Manning to Jay Cutler. When you do that, you lose credibility.

[Case]

Lol I know. His argument was jay cutler. Come on. Cutler hasn't meant anything close to the bears like PM has to Indy. Horrible argument.

[NM_Colts]

NM and Blue - he is so loud. All he does to get his point across is yell. He compared Peyton Manning to Jay Cutler. When you do that, you lose credibility.

Not that he had any credibility to begin with.

[21isSuperman]

Not that he had any credibility to begin with.

I saw him as a poor man's Adam Schefter. You could rely on him and all, but he is annoying and sometimes, you would rather not get the information than to have him roid rage and scream it out

[Case]

Ittttsssssssss tiiiiimmmmmeeee

[NM_Colts]

I saw him as a poor man's Adam Schefter. You could rely on him and all, but he is annoying and sometimes, you would rather not get the information than to have him roid rage and scream it out

We are 100% in agreement.

[Coltssouth]

How come they don't show the flag ceremony anymore?

[21isSuperman]

Here we go boys, start fast

[21isSuperman]

Wow...brutal start

[Case]

Ball security

[ViriLudant]

That was a rough hit! Ouch.

[Case]

#1 pick here we come

[TroilusBlue]

That hopeless O-line

[21isSuperman]

I can't stand Cushing

[21isSuperman]

3 plays in and we're already down a TD. This'll be a long night...

[Jay Roland]

54 seconds and down by 7

[Coltssouth]

56 seconds off the game clock.

Edit:

OOps! Guess I got that one wrong.
