    flakey flacco falls foul.....GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,369 ✭✭✭UnitedIrishman


    Flacco is really struggling against this defence.

    I really dread seeing Jacoby Jones catching PR/KR after the start he had.

    on a sidenote. The Patriots looked so good last night (the half I watched at least!), easily the class of the AFC now, and if they can put up a similar offensive performance, I could see them beating Green Bay.

    Not classless at all for Brady to punt. Patriots could have put 70 on Denver easy last night if they so wished. John Elway punted on 3rd down on several occasions in his career.

    Back to the game. Jacoby Jones making up a little bit there.

    bad throw there. Rookie decision. Strange as a punt there would not have been a bad outcome from the 48.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Yes, big INT!

    We need a long drive here to take some time off the clock and get points on the board, I can sense it coming :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    Boldin looked like he got away with a PF penalty there, knocking the Texans' players helmet into the ground. (ignoring the illegal contact /tackle that went before)

    yep, holding Ravens to a FG here is no good unless they leave time on the clock. Time to use some timeouts for the Texans.

    This is looking like a serious finish.....

    C'mon texans!

    throwing on second and 5!? Really Cameron?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    What was the point in Cameron calling a pass play there? Jesus wept.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,098 ✭✭✭Johnny_Fontane


    Not sure Yates has this, but with foster and Johnson, anything could happen.

    Let's see it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭spiralism


    So it's all down to this. TJ Yates needing the biggest drive of his life


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Here we go, there's no defence I'd take over ours in this situation. Come on Baltimore!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭counterlock


    I love betting NFL :) Texans trailing by 7 and the spread was +7.5 :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    Setting up for a great finish. Was Johnson's knee down there or did the Ravens player hold him up? Hope it stays with Texans for an interesting finish for the neutral.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,369 ✭✭✭UnitedIrishman


    That's a tight call, didn't think he was down there on first look.

    Tense finish to this one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Doesn't look a fumble to me

    ED REED!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    I don''t understand that throw. Foster has been great today by all accounts, lots of time left. Why loft one up with Ed Reed back there? Very poor.

    There she blows. A couple of rookie mistakes tonight from Yates when he's tried to force it, just wasn't on but guess the kid is still learning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,098 ✭✭✭Johnny_Fontane


    Ya gotta think schaub doesn't make that mistake


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    And that is that. Incredible defensive performance by the Ravens.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭counterlock

    Just what I was thinking, its a real pity Texans had so many injuries. Had they been healthy your bet would have been a great call :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    That's that then. Fair play to the Texans, with all the injuries, to qualify for th eplayoffs and go to Baltimore and give them a game. With that D and getting back their starters, they should be one to look out for next year. Hmmm challenge the spot!
