Houston Texans @ Oakland Raiders. 9/14. 3:25. CBS. **Official Gameday Thread**

[OzzO]

The last shutout was 20-0 on November 28, 2010 at home against Tennessee. (FYI)

You jinxer.

 

[False Start]

The Flag Football League.

 

[CretorFrigg]

Worst PI call ever.

 

[cdollaz]

Speaking of Brooks Reed, i guess last week was an anamoly.

 

[ziggy29]

I've seen a ton of weak PI calls and defensive holding calls this year already. Guess they want more offense and more fantasy stats in the league, because defenses aren't allowed to defend much any more.

 

[ObsiWan]

The Flag Football League.

yeah... yellow flags

:kubepalm:

 

[OzzO]

... and that's what we get when the ball doesn't bounce our way.

 

[Showtime100]

Good play Bouye. I guess the refs felt sorry for the poor bastard team (to the Niners) by the bay.

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Damn man, I wanted the shutout!

 

[JB]

Living 2000 miles away isn't stopping me from enjoying the game with my boys.

Them boys are growing fast! Looking good!

 

[False Start]

yeah... yellow flags

Yep. That's what I was getting at.

Swearinger's return is questionable. Left the game with an elbow injury. #TexansGameday

 

[Showtime100]

Jinxes are a loser mentality my friends.

- Signed, every team that ever played the Chicago Cubs

So much for just the IV.

 

[ObsiWan]

Time for another clock-eating drive offense
Let's GO

 

[chicagotexan2]

Scoreless through three... please, please, please let's get a shut out in the 4th.

Dang oh well good defensive effort overall (so far).

Give the damn carries to the backups and stop wearing down foster.

 

[False Start]

Running Foster like Earl. Into the ground.

 

[WolverineFan]

O-Line is really getting some push on this drive.

 

[bah007]

Foster doing a great job of getting tough yards without taking any big hits. Would like to see Blue get some work though.

 

[Mollywhopper]

In my mind we're rubbing the Schaub trade in their faces with Blue right now.

 

[OzzO]

Foster doing a great job of getting tough yards without taking any big hits. Would like to see Blue get some work though.

Past 3 runs have been Blue

 

[Goodwrench3]

I'm missing some play action throws!

 

[JCTexan]

Blue running really good this drive.

 

[Lucky]

The term "imposing their will" comes to mind.

 

[chenjy9]

Milking the clock

 

[ziggy29]

This is what teams that know how to win do -- churn out first downs on the ground and chew up the clock with a 4th quarter lead. Even if they don't score this is a successful drive.

 

[False Start]

What was that?

 

[bah007]

Past 3 runs have been Blue

Yep. They pulled Foster right after I posted that. Glad to see it. I think Blue has some potential.

 

[ObsiWan]

Fitz forget what he called??

 

[False Start]

Ok....

 

[Mollywhopper]

The term "imposing their will" comes to mind.

Idk, some would say we're playing not to lose, or being conservative ...

Kubiak used to like to do that too. The only problem it was with 3 and 7 point leads.

 

[GuerillaBlack]

Would have liked to see some of Mallet by now.

 

[WolverineFan]

Fitz forget what he called??

Looked like Brown screwed up.

 

[OzzO]

Brian T. Smith ‏@ChronBrianSmith 4m
#Texans on verge of going 2-0 the 2014 Bill O'Brien way: Running game, game-managed Fitzpatrick with no picks, defensive turnovers.

 

[ziggy29]

Kubiak used to like to do that too. The only problem it was with 3 and 7 point leads.

And that it was too often run-run-run-punt.

 

[Showtime100]

Hat's off to Rod Woodson. Great DB. Also, I'm embarrassed to admit I thought he was retired until this week.

 

[NitroGSXR]

Would have liked to see some of Mallet by now.

Yep. I'd like to see Mallet get some playing time. Fitzpatrick's noodle arm worries me.

 

[False Start]

Fat Randy time.

 

[bah007]

Would have liked to see some of Mallet by now.

Fitz seems to be handing the ball off just fine. No reason to start throwing, in my opinion.

 

[ObsiWan]

I'm missing some play action throws!

It would be a good time to catch them thinking we'll run every play.
Let's see if O'Brien has any gambler in him or will he stay conservative

 

[LikeMike]

I'd like to see Bullock try and make a 50 yarder...

 

[bah007]

Idk, some would say we're playing not to lose, or being conservative ...

Some probably will say that...

 

[CretorFrigg]

Boring game, but glad we got the win.

 

[ziggy29]

Great possession. The three points is really meaningless compared to the time taken off the clock.

 

[Big Lou]

Damn, the Fat Boy is looking good.

 

[False Start]

Idk, some would say we're playing not to lose, or being conservative ...

Kubiak did it with 7 and 10 point leads though.

 

[OzzO]

I'd like to see Bullock try and make a 50 yarder...

Well, 46 yarder

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Man, I just woke up. Missed it Missed it. How was this game?
