@Ragman,
I glance at a lot of sports websites when I make picks, don't just obey them, but sometimes learn stuff I didn't know. I tend to pick by instinct, which easily goes off the rails into dreamland. My point is that pre Thursday's game, in the sites I read, people were amazed Texas was going with Mallett again. That was part of my clinging to the Colts as apt to possibly win. And it was close. What I had expressed worry about yesterday, when I was confused about having a few days to make a choice re Indy and Texas, was that the coach might change his mind and go for Hoyer, which he did, eek. Hoyer has been known to show up and do quite well, and this time he had a brand new and apparently terrific receiver, J. Strong. And Hasselbeck, while I gather still on the ill side, was excellent. It turns out that Panzade was right on about Andre Johnson (who'd been worried about in various articles). Good game for a lot of players.
The best thing to me as a sometimes Colts fan was that the their offensive line, in disarray for years now, got it all together for this game. I hope that keeps up.
