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

[Thorn]

Wow. That was a gift. Thanks officials.

 

[TexanSam]

That was a close one. I could see it going either way. It looked like Quin thought it hit him

 

[TheIronDuke]

That's surprising, learn from this ST, it's almost happened before too.

 

[Mailman]

It is annoying how Simms is trying to shape the viewers' perception. Wasn't close to conclusive.

 

[texanhead08]

Schwartz is such a douche.

 

[fikster]

Nantz and Sims are dummies. He was looking around because someone said ball not because he thought he touched it. No replay showed contact!

 

[Showtime100]

Houston's ball, helluva job, refs!

 

[kiwitexansfan]

Bullet: Dodged.

 

[PapaL]

That run use to work great on Madden.

 

[The Third Man]

Great offense. The Texans look like they are mailing this one in.

 

[Brandon420tx]

We need a momentum changer. It's all Lions right now

 

[mariowillshine15]

Stop throwing it so short.

 

[ChrisG]

OMG. We cant even get a first down. WTF is Kubes doing?

 

[PapaL]

Need 8, run 4 yard pattern.

 

[417Texan]

Why is the wideouts not getting beyond the sticks today?

 

[TexCanada]

Another 3 and out. We are going to wear our D out by the 4th.

 

[fikster]

why is Schaub throwing it so early? He's not letting the routes develop?

 

[Thorn]

Well, so far at least, it's plainly obvious Detroit wants this game more than the Texans.

 

[TexanSam]

This is pathetic. Have we had 1 first down yet?

 

[Showtime100]

Doesn't feel like 7-0.

 

[Showtime100]

Alright Kareem.

 

[Wolf]

Nice play by jackson

 

[ChrisG]

This is pathetic. Have we had 1 first down yet?

Nope, i think only 1 completion beyond the LOS

 

[TexCanada]

We need to stretch the Lions D out. Everything has been short middle, or a run right up the gut so far.

 

[brakos82]

 

[The Third Man]

What is annoying is that the Lions just aren't that good and the game is right there for the taking.

 

[TexCanada]

Another 3rd and long fail. Figure it out Wade.

 

[417Texan]

Watt is getting held ever play, The 3rd and long is getting stupid,

 

[BullBlitz]

Nantz and Sims are dummies. He was looking around because someone said ball not because he thought he touched it. No replay showed contact!

Replays didn't have good angles.

 

[Mailman]

They actually are a good football team, they just don't convert that talent to wins.

 

[417Texan]

What is annoying is that the Lions just aren't that good and the game is right there for the taking.

NO JOKE. Bout time they call a hold.

 

[TexanSam]

What is annoying is that the Lions just aren't that good and the game is right there for the taking.

Looks like the Lions clearly want this game more, IMO.

 

[fikster]

Watt is getting held ever play, The 3rd and long is getting stupid,

He got tackled on the 3rd and long. That should've been a 15 yarder. lmao

 

[76Texan]

Did it touch a Lions player before it touched Quin?

Sure looks like it.
Rule 9 article 2 section 2, receiving team gets the ball due to the violation .

 

[Showtime100]

I still believe their energy will wane and Houston will begin to show. It's a Thanksgiving tradition for Detroit...lol.

 

[mariowillshine15]

These cushions are ridiculous.

 

[417Texan]

Replays didn't have good angles.

Nantz stick to golf.

 

[The Third Man]

B-l-i-t-z time

 

[fikster]

Replays didn't have good angles.

No doubt they didn't so why make the commentary that it hit him is my point.

 

[ChrisG]

These cushions are ridiculous.

Looks like we rehired Smith without telling anyone

 

[mariowillshine15]

Seriously?

 

[417Texan]

Sharpton you might want to cover the tight end.

 

[ChrisG]

Sharpton blew that play. He was watching Stafford run instead of covering his area

 

[TexanSam]

A blind man could have seen Pettigrew wide open.

 

[Mailman]

Horrible quarter, they are dominating the possession game.

 

[Premier]

you see that play that stafford made.. schaub can never do that...

 

[brakos82]

These cushions are ridiculous.

Read that as "delicious" instead of "ridiculous"....

 

[TexCanada]

What an awful quarter of football. 2nd and 27 and we give up a big play.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Reed pulled a groin. That's what, a two week recovery?

From where he grabbed, he evidently has suffered an adductor muscle tear. As much acute pain that he demonstrated, it will not be a minor 1st degree tear. It is either a 2nd degree tear or 3rd degree complete rupture. I would be surprised if this is not at least a 4+ week recovery. In one study, as high as 40 % of players with this more severe degree of injury have not been able to see the field by the 20th week. We will know more after an MRI.

 

[Mailman]

you see that play that stafford made.. schaub can never do that...

Um, wrong.
