The Texans have a lot to prove in these final three games. I'm ready for tomorrow's game against the Colts to kick off. The Texans seem to have a lot of players returning from the injury list. The only two guys who will be out for tomorrow are Brooks Reed and Alan Ball.

Even though Andrew Luck is a talented and dangerous quarterback that is making his hometown return to Houston. He's still a rookie quarterback that has thrown 18 interceptions and fumbled the ball 9 times. The Texans have to start winning the turnover battle like they have done in every game they have won this season.

Hopefully the added nerves of coming back home and playing in front of 200 family and friends -- which he bought tickets for -- will add that extra element of pressure on the great rookie sensation Andrew Luck. The Texans defense was flat out embarrassed during the last game so they better come out with a sense of urgency and play with the same swagger they had during the playoffs last year.

But regardless of how the Texans defense plays, I've been most disappointed with the Texans lack of offense in recent games. The defense forced four straight punts against the Patriots during the 2nd and 3rd quarters in the last game but the offense never scored to make it a competitive game. They better start moving the ball downfield and scoring Touchdowns (not Field Goals). Otherwise they're not going to beat any team and they'll be one and done in the playoffs.

The roof at Reliant Stadium will be closed. It's been raining all morning and it's only 2.5 hours before kickoff. With the roof closed the crowd noise will be as loud as it can get. Maybe the electric atmosphere can draw a few false starts by the Colts offensive line.

I disagree with kicking the field goal on 4th and 2. Even if you don't make it the Colts are backed up at their own 12-yard line.

Sigh, 3-0 lead. What a great drive that stalls once they enter the red zone.

Nice three and out by the defense. Much better start on both sides of the ball. They're already getting pressure on Luck.

Vontae Davis already giving up big plays. That's why the Texans never lost to the Dolphins in the past. I forgot he's a Colt now. LOL

Touchdown Texans!!!! 10-0 Texans. Andre Johnson with the 3-yard TD catch. Make it 4 catches for 74 yards and 1 TD already.

Thank you Colts for trading for Vontae Davis.

Three penalties gave the Colts two first downs. Including a personal foul. Texans shooting themselves in the foot.

SO yeah, I just saw the Texans score against the colts and turned the game on. The Texans are literally kicking their ass. It looks like a street fight. And Texas is whopping ass.
