Gameday Thread: Texans @ Raiders

[Ckw]

Well as long as it gets us a win, whatever. I'm not sure why the league leader in rushing yards is not getting any carries, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

As long as we get the win, I guess that is all that matters...

 

[Showtime100]

I want to know what's up with Arian, because he's our best back.....and because of other reasons,


Sheesh, don't know where this mob mentality came from.

The mob doesn't give a damn about yours or anybody elses effing fantasy team. Surprise!

Anyone know if this game is blacked out there?

 

[Andre_Johnson]

Maybe Kubiak is smarter than we give him credit for, the Raiders obviously didn't gameplan for Slaton/Ward. Foster is a downhill runner, he'll get plenty of carries as the game rolls along.

 

[JB]

I see Leinart on the sidelines, has he supplanted Dan-O??

Leinhart is inactive.

 

[Kulluminatii]

Yeah, it is. Should be pretty obvious if you are watching the game .

 

[Lucky]

Stop the Raiders here, and get the ball back to the offense. That will quiet the crowd.

If there were a crowd...

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Twitter is wrong. Foster is dressed and has his helmet on.

IN WARMUPS

Got it from a random google search for Arian Foster injured.

The fact he played one down or so means he wasn't being disciplined in my mind. Injury in warm ups makes sense.

 

[michaelm]

the "quit asking about Foster" and "stop talking about fantasy football" crowd is every bit as annoying as they claim the other side to be.
I think we should have a watch party for the next road game, so I can watch all of y'all have a slap fight.

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Leinhart is inactive.

Yet he is in full pads on the sidelines?

 

[texanhead08]

I see Leinart on the sidelines, has he supplanted Dan-O??

You suit up 3 QB's and one is designated as the emergency QB which today is Leinart which means Schaub and Dan O. would have to be injured for him to play.

 

[MeLoveTexans]

Just saw on McClain's blog they are disciplining Foster for breaking an undisclosed team rule

 

[mexican_texan]

He's been dressing the whole time, but he's still inactive.

 

[A-Mar]

NFL Network Tweet
Arian Foster has apparently been benched by the Texans due to a “coach’s decision”.

 

[DerekLee1]

From McClain:

Arian Foster, the league's leading rusher, is on the bench. He's healthy, which means coach Gary Kubiak is disciplining him for an undisclosed violation of team rules. The Texans have given us no explanation and are telling us to ask Kubiak after the game.

 

[texansdrummer]

Yes, you're freaking FANTASY football stats are such a big deal.

LMAO. (In a little girl's voice) "Oh no! Like, my fantasy stats are so going to be ruined now!!!"

Flame me if you want.

Now it's somewhere around 35 people who asked the same question that has been asked every other post for the past 20 minutes. Gee whiz.

Agreed.....I prefer reality. Maybe there can be a fantasy thread.....dedicated to things not real.

 

[Brandon420tx]

I don't think he's inactive, because you have to have your inactive list sent out early. If he got hurt during practice they are probably just holding him out

 

[TexanSam]

Damn, must have been a helluva infraction to bench him

 

[Ranger Tom]

Well done Mr. Diles!

 

[cardiactgaters]

HELL no one knows (about foster) now saying coachs decision

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Well, next possession I guess we will see if Foster is ok. Normally the punishments only last a quarter.

Thanks for clarifying the QB thing too.

 

[ObsiWan]

Kubiak needs to give the red flag to somebody else.

He needs to get a better spotter upstairs. Maybe someone with a network feed.

 

[Andre_Johnson]

Nice defensive stop

 

[DerekLee1]

Whatever the reason is, it must be pretty serious. To bench the NFL's leading rusher when you're already short on offense with AJ out and OD not 100% says something.

 

[TexanSam]

When Gradkowsi scrambled and got tackled for a loss on 2nd down, does that count as a sack?

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Man the Raiders O-Line is AWFUL

 

[BigTimeTexanFan]

J. Jones is really indecisive today

 

[Austrian]

Jacoby has to cut inside here.

 

[kiwitexansfan]

When Gradkowsi ran and got tackled for a loss on 2nd down, does that count as a sack?

I'm thinking so, if its not a designed QB run it would be a sack?

 

[michaelm]

When Gradkowsi scrambled and got tackled for a loss on 2nd down, does that count as a sack?

I'm pretty sure it does.

 

[TexCanada]

NFL.com has it as a sack. Not sure if thats official.

 

[hradhak]

Yes

 

[Maddict5]

blitzing every 3rd down... and they're getting there. nice pressure by amobi on antonios sack on 2nd down too

Arian Foster apparently healthy, coach's decision for no start/ no play. Discipline? #Texans #NFL 2 minutes ago via web




....what the ****?

"As the Foster Turns"

 

[Ckw]

I'm sorry but I hope Kubiak loses this game. I don't want it for the team, but I am sick of Kubiak. He is such a douche.

 

[Wolf6151]

When Gradkowsi scrambled and got tackled for a loss on 2nd down, does that count as a sack?

I think anytime the QB gets tackled behind the LOS it's considered a sack.

 

[Showtime100]

He needs to get a better spotter upstairs. Maybe someone with a network feed.

That too. He's proven year-in and year-out he doesn't know what to do with it.

 

[Tailgate]

Wow

 

[Ranger Tom]

Why didn't Oakland decline that?

Edit: 'cause they knew they'd get through the line.

 

[Carr Bombed]

That's Aggie football right there...


Let's bench our best back.......much like he did to Jacoby Jones last season, which is one of the reasons we lost to the Jaguars. There's other ways to discipline players.

 

[cardiactgaters]

damn it

 

[Kulluminatii]

<3 McClain

 

[ObsiWan]

Where's Arian Foster? Anyone?

I'm wondering myself. He's one of my FFL RBs. If he was being punished for being late or some other team infraction he wouldn't have started.

 

[hradhak]

Our offensive line is extremely porous. Schaub needs to get a little more time to throw

 

[awtysst]

Why didn't Oakland decline that?

they can't prior to snap cannot decline.

 

[Carr Bombed]

STs are doing pretty good.

 

[DerekLee1]

Yes.

Exactly. At least somebody gets it.

You bench your best back in a game you need to win so you can be 3-1 when Cushing returns. Brilliant!

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Back to back horrific third down play calls.
