Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens. Noon. 9/22. CBS. **Official GameDay Thread**

[Daravenator]

I thought they got rid of the replacement refs last season.

 

[gafftop]

I really am tired of hearing how smart MS is. I think just the opposite is true.

 

[waynegg]

gotta be careful not to hurt a wealthy grown mans feelings now days. Could lead to PTTT (Player Trash Talking Trama) oh its real

How long til the quarterback wears flags?

 

[ensign_lee]

Why didn't we just decline that?

Between the 8 -10 yard reception and the 15 yard penalty, you gain 25 yards by accepting the penalty. You should take the free 25 yards in almost all circumstances.

 

[OzzO]

True, first drive was very balanced then crapped out... but since then Schaub can only complete 1 pass for -1 yard?

 

[msbbc833]

Yeah Dierdorf is horrible. On that 1 yard catch that JJo got the taunting penalty he kept talking about the "amazing catch". What a joke. Also he has screwed up players names atleast three times. Early onset dementia?

 

[legacy_gt]

Texans not capitalizing on possessions.

 

[ziggy29]

True, first drive was very balanced then crapped out... but since then Schaub can only complete 1 pass for -1 yard?

He hasn't really had a lot of time to get set that I've seen.

And in other news, wow, the Rams are horrible.

 

[Lurvinator11]

Nice catch by Keyshawn.

First down

EDIT: Nevermind.

 

[OzzO]

OMG! Matt hit KMart in stride!

 

[TexansSeminole]

Our tackles are getting killed.

 

[dtran04]

Newton getting destroyed so far.

 

[RTP2110]

any word on the phantom penalty?

 

[silvrhand]

Good god that Lechner just booms the frigging ball..

 

[Bulls on Parade]

I'd like to see the defense force a turnover soon.

 

[deucetx]

Defense not getting much rest as of late at this rate. And yeah....Derek Newton is not very good. They most likely called holding on him because he hooked Dumerveil.

 

[gafftop]

Their OC is more conservative than Kubes

 

[cstyle42]

How long has it been for Kubiak and Schaub with this offense? Why is it consistently inconsistent still?

 

[waynegg]

any word on the phantom penalty?

Yeah the officials are worse than awful!

 

[Lurvinator11]

Look, Reed got a tackle

 

[TheMatrix31]

Dude! Enough flags!

 

[ensign_lee]

Yeah the officials are worse than awful!

It was probably the obvious holding on our RT.

 

[handswarmer]

how about the refs let them play

 

[TexanSam]

This must be getting close to setting a record for most penalties in a half.

 

[EllisUnit]

ok this is a really slow, boring game.....

 

[RTP2110]

OLB's continue to be non existant

 

[Texanmike02]

Shades of 2010?

Mike

 

[Mr teX]

& there's our boy mccain.....again

 

[ziggy29]

Flacco has way too much time on almost every third down...

 

[TheMatrix31]

Great play rook.

 

[Lurvinator11]

Swagg was fast getting to that play

 

[TheMatrix31]

This is ****ing asinine. A MOCKERY of this ****ing game.

 

[cstyle42]

All that work is going right down the drain Kubiak is hardheaded.

 

[Lurvinator11]

Omg. These reffs are awful.

 

[EllisUnit]

wow come on,,,,,that was a horrible PI call

 

[ziggy29]

You have GOT to be kidding me, zebra. That was a garbage call.

 

[BullBlitz]

Big mistake by KJ

 

[Texanmike02]

Wow. That was horrible.

Mike

 

[TexanSam]

This is ****ing asinine. A MOCKERY of this ****ing game.

Lol. There have been worse games than this.

 

[OzzO]

Really weak ref calls today. Refs wanna be part of the game today.

 

[NCTexan]

Wow... Kareem didn't look that bad on that play.

 

[silvrhand]

Big mistake by KJ

Garbage call.. not a mistake.. the refs are throwing a lot of BS flags on this.

 

[RTP2110]

I have no words to describe these refs....more penalty yards awarded than yards gained offensively

 

[Naiirb]

So.many.flags.this.game

 

[TexansSeminole]

What is the penalty there????

 

[ziggy29]

Looked to me like Cushing read the snap count perfectly. These refs are horrible.

 

[Texanmike02]

This game is terrible.

Officials are calling based on assumption instead of what is happening.

Mike

 

[playa465]

Cmon D hold it together

 

[EllisUnit]

i feel an ed reed pick for some reason

 

[TheMatrix31]

Lol. There have been worse games than this.

There hasn't been one this bad since the game in Indy in 2011.
