Open Thread: Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts, Thursday Night Football

by John Gennaro on Dec 22, 2011 5:00 PM PST

Tonight, the NFL fields an exciting matchup between the Colts of Indianapolis and the Texans of Houston. Pro Bowl QBs Peyton Manning and Matt Schaub go head-to-head in what should be......What's that? Oh, hell. Let's start over.

After injuries to their starting QBs, the Texans travel to Indianapolis behind Matt Leinart to take on offseason free agent pickup Kerry Collins (that signing sure looks handy now!) for a very important AFC South matchup....What? What do you mean those aren't the QBs? If it's not them, who is it? You're kidding me. And the Colts are out of it? What's their record? Oh, man. We have no idea how good we have it in San Diego, huh? Alright, third time's the charm.

In front of a national audience tonight, the Texans and T.J. Yates....is that how that's pronounced?....travel to the site of this year's Super Bowl in Indianapolis to take on the 1-13 Colts and Dan Orlovsky, who is most famous for accidentally running out of the back of his own end zone while dropping back to pass, in a totally meaningless game unless you're a degenerate gambler and/or a fantasy football player.

Enjoy the game, everyone!

Mmm, so I saw the game!

It was…actually one of the better Thursday night games! Orlovsky actually looked pretty sharp, and all game J.J. Watt was battering the O-line(wish we’d drafted him). If the Chargers make the playoffs, I’m pretty sure we could beat the Texans. It’s Arian Foster…and that’s it.

agree was a good game

pretty even matchup with excellent individual efforts. is schaub actually coming back for the playoffs? I was under the impression they will be rolling with Yates through the playoffs.
