Well, my team lost today. It was a heart-breaking defeat to fellow AFC South division team, the Houston Texans. As a Colts fan I'm always anxious to get the season started, because normally it's an exciting roller-coaster of victories culminating in a playoff berth. Unfortunately, the Texans exposed the Colts' weaknesses today. Whether it was Charlie Johnson and the O-line getting blown up by Mario Williams and Antonio Smith, or Arian Foster running right past dumb-founded Gary Brackett and his defensive crew, Indy looked weak today. But fortunately, when Peyton Manning had a decent sized pocket he was able to complete passes and work it up the field, and looked, dare I say, sharper than ever. For other teams an opening game like this could translate into a very long season. But for the Colts and Peyton Manning, it creates a challenge to rise to the occasion and prove themselves once again. I'm very optimistic for the rest of the Colt's season, and if Peyton's huddle on the sideline is any indication, he's getting his team geared up for another exciting season. Plus, the last time the Colts couldn't stop the run, they won the Super Bowl.
Next game: 9/19 vs. NY Giants at 8:20 P.M
