The Colts are not a better team than Houston without Manning. That's hilarious. Houston is the most talented team in that division, they have just yet to put it together. I believe the pieces they added (CB Joseph, S Manning, JJ Watt, Brooks Reed) along with what they already have (Schaub, Johnson, Foster, decent defense)will make this their season to lose. I can't imagine them winning any less than 9-10 games this season, given the likelihood of Manning being out for the season, or at least not very effective even if he does come back.
Houston has nothing else other than a running game? I think Schaub and Johnson would have something to say about that. They have one of the better passing games in the league as well, even without a running game. I expect TE Owen Daniels to come back pretty strong this season as well. Their defense should finally be able to get off the field on third downs every once and awhile also.
