Houston Texans @ Detroit Lions. 11:30. 11/22. **Official Thanksgiving Day Thread**

[CloakNNNdagger]

If we lose this game without overtime, it could very well boil down to the extra time the Lions had in the 4th Q.

 

[Iceman16]

If you score on that play you can stop the lions with enough time to get a field goal.

Still time.

That's a stupid risk to take.

 

[Showtime100]

Another overtime nailbiter, time to see if the Texans are truly what we hope they are, a team that finds ways to win close games instead of losing them. We pull this off, I feel much more comfortable going forward.

At this point I hope OT. 2nd thought was I'm happy Houston just went 97 yards to get here at this moment.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Hell yeah! Come on Texans!!!

 

[Mailman]

Cmon KJ!.pick six please.

 

[76Texan]

Come on sack his azz

 

[PapaL]

We sure could use a turnover now. Make that happen Stafford.

 

[Chance_C]

Horrible!

 

[The Third Man]

Time for a pick six.

 

[76Texan]

Rudd!

 

[Wolf]

Never knew stafford threw sidearm so much

 

[TexCanada]

Ruud? Did James not come back?

 

[infantrycak]

Maybe he was thinking we could get the ball back and win it.

Exactly. People wanted aggressive play calling and you just saw it. Looking to the D.

 

[76Texan]

Rudd again

 

[PapaL]

Foster is either sick or tired. Didnt look good at all on the sideline.

 

[Wolf]

Whew..... Knocking the ball out

 

[Mr. Texan]

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD !

 

[76Texan]

Come on sack him guys

 

[mariowillshine15]

Ruud playing like he used to.

 

[PapaL]

Never knew stafford threw sidearm so much

I think that's a product of the Swatt Squad. Seriously.

 

[TexCanada]

3rd and 10. Make a stop here and we have some time. Come on D!!!

 

[TexCanada]

Damnit.

 

[Mr. Texan]

mccain has sucked all game

 

[Rey]

That's a stupid risk to take.

No it's not. You need a TD to tie. Td's are not a given in the NFL. You take them when you can get them most times.

We don't want to go into a consecutive OT game on the road on a short week.

What you're saying makes 0 sense anyways. What dis you want? For them to waste 1 min and 30 seconds?

 

[76Texan]

Yeah quin

 

[SmoochyTX]

We need a pick like a turkey needs gravy.

 

[Iceman16]

Coverage has been very good on this drive overall.

 

[Showtime100]

Just no time to sack.

 

[Wolf]

Stafford been Money on 3 rd down all game long

 

[76Texan]

One more guys one more

 

[Wolf]

JJ buried him

 

[Iceman16]

What dis you want? For them to waste 1 min and 30 seconds?

Uh, instead of them driving into field goal range like they just did? Yes absolutely. Are you serious?

 

[76Texan]

Yeah yeah

 

[TexCanada]

Good hold D!

 

[Showtime100]

Wow, could we have a shot before OT?

EDIT: Ok, well, OT is good.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Hell yes!

 

[76Texan]

Good job D damn good job

 

[TheMatrix31]

Take. Care. Of. The. Ball.

 

[Wolf]

Nice punt

 

[The Third Man]

From no punts inside the five to two in a row for Detroit.

 

[bshep86]

Did anyone else see the face masking on JJ?

 

[Mailman]

Tough place for a coach here. Play safe.

 

[Iceman16]

Wow, could we have a shot before OT?

No because now Kubiak is going to run it out as he should. If they would've ran the clock down earlier the Lions never would've been close to range and we wouldn't have to run it twice to make sure they don't get a safety.

 

[Showtime100]

Coin flips are your friend.

 

[Rey]

Uh, instead of them driving into field goal range like they just did? Yes absolutely. Are you serious?

What are you talking about?

You sound ridiculous.

 

[ChrisG]

Damn, now I gotta try and delay dinner, LOL

 

[TheMatrix31]

I like this move.

 

[Showtime100]

No because now Kubiak is going to run it out as he should. If they would've ran the clock down earlier the Lions never would've been close to range and we wouldn't have to run it twice to make sure they don't get a safety.

See edit..

 

[Kthx]

10 quarters of football within 5 days, thats insane. Gotta be some kind of record.

 

[Iceman16]

What are you talking about?

You sound ridiculous.

Are you illiterate? My point is pretty obvious. You thought they could get the ball back and have a shot to win the game in regulation. This is what generally happens in that situation, and as you can see Houston had no chance at that. I said they should've taken more time off the clock.
