[disaacks3]

O'Brien even turtles when he's in opposing territory.

Right move there though. You want to maintain your lead and not take unnecessary risks.

Considering that we could easily be down 10-14, I'm glad we are up 17-7. But come on Care Bear, you are not allowed to miss 44 yard field goals.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Washington's OL is holding the hell out of Clowney and Watt

You ought to watch what our OL is doing to their rushers.

 

[Texansphan]

We need to put together a scoring drive at the start of 2nd half to out the screws on the 'Skins.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Be prepared to see the same hand off up the middle for no gain the entire 2nd half. We are 100% going conservative mode.

If we can get out of this with a win hopefully we can get our starting O-line heathy. Lord knows we have issues there anyway but with all the injuries we stand no chance going forward.

 

[Thorn]

I got mixed feelings on the first half, but I don't think the Texans let this one slip away. I don't trust Alex Smith to get the job done, but Watson can.

7 in a row here we come!

 

[TexansFan15]

Might make Matthieu expendable in FA next year.

I’m not so sure. I think Reid is playing so well because of Matthieu’s leadership.

From what I've seen it's pretty much been a turnstile up front. About what I expect from the MASH unit the Texans are lining up.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Fairburn is not a given beyond 40.........in fact, he's not a given in general.........and this one was missed by a mile.

I mean that looked more on the holder than Fairburn.

We for sure need to run well to set up the pass.

I rewound that play several times. The holder looked to have put it down and laces turned perfectly.

 

[Seegara]

Dang he pulled that one big time

He is Mr. Unreliable.
Watch out for an onside kick to start 2nd half. The trouble with deferring.

What if it’s a bad hold? Does he get a pass?

 

[vtech9]

I think the whole secondary is playing better because of honeybadger's leadership.

 

[DanielTx]

I thought ob would be smart enough to implement short and immediate passes but boy, was I wrong. You would think he would have learned something from Bellichec after losing to him every season

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Turned perfectly to the left?

 

[Scooter]

I can't rewind but I'll try to remember to review the kick later. Looked like a good spin, and kickers usually want the ball to have a slight lean - but hard to guess whether that was correct or not without knowing the kicker's preference.

 

[DanielTx]

I hate when Alfred Blue tries to do his best Leveon Bell impression. Stop hesitating blue, just run!

Is foreman activated?

 

[TheMatrix31]

Ya, that's a pick.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

A fumble? Oh lord.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

That’s a pick. Just tragic . Not even Deshaun fault right there.

 

[disaacks3]

Ya, that's a pick.

Looks that way. Started hoping it hit the ground somewhere in there.

That's unfortunate. ****.

 

[Earl34]

Where is Thomas?

 

[OptimisticTexan]

It wasn't a fumble but could be switched to an INT.

 

[Scooter]

I don't know, the last replay before commercial the nose of the ball is on the ground. I'm not sure what they're going to call. Although ruling on the field is a fumble, which is obviously isn't so that call gets reversed. Now the onus is proving that it was an interception, not proving that it WASN'T an interception.

 

[dream_team]

Nuk secures that catch 19/20 times. Just sucks and good play by Was.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Lol call stands? In what world is that a catch. Oh well.

 

[LikeMike]

The thing is: it was ruled a fumble. It definetly was not a fumble. Now was it an int or did it hit the ground. No clear evidence either way. I don't know how they decide this. They must overrule the fumble and then? Guess? Take the most likely? Replay the down?

Ball can touch the ground if it doesn't assist in the catch. That looks like an interception to me. But maybe the defender doesn't fully secure it before it gets to the ground again, who knows. Looks tough to overturn though.

 

[vtech9]

There was one view that looked like Hopkins controlled it on while on the ground, and then had it ripped away. It's either a completion and down by contact, or an interception.

 

[infantrycak]

That's some serious BS. No way they call that a catch otherwise.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut]

Alex Smith is so good at breaking free of pressure for yards down field.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Good lord the refs are just not gonna call anything against skins huh.

 

[disaacks3]

Helped by a hold on Clowney there too.

You can't have an INT after it touches the ground at all.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut]

The way the Colts are playing we can not afford to lose.

 

[TejasTom]

I guess these refs are never going to call holding on redskinse

 

[NastyNate]

STOP DROPPING MERCILUS INTO COVERAGE, JESUS HELL!

They didn't rule an interception, so throw that out the window. Was it a catch, fumble? Obviously not. Now, during the review was there clear possession that could NOW turn it into an interception, there's not a view of the football so that's impossible to call.

Meh. Thought the same last week after these same Titans shellacked the Pats.

Looks like a broken ankle on Smith.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

What a play call
