NFL Playoffs Rd 2: Houston @ New England

[bone3421]

seriously....when the fuck are the texans going to start speeding things up

they planning on just recovering 2 onside kicks

Matt Schaub is a good QB. A Game Manager. Not a Game Changer. He scrambles and looks to throw away live to fight another day. Fine and dandy against a below 500 team in the AFC when already up 17 points. But in the playoffs down 10? He doesn't look for the big play.

I agree with Texasman. Kubiak/Schuab they have no killer instinct or aggression. Don't ever take a risk. You can't win the big games that way.

I think that assessment is spot on.

he hit him in the face with the earhole of his helmet.

Disagree.

anyways, Simms "Lots of teams are going to copy NE next year offensively".

Yeh, most teams don't have 1 Tight End that is as vertical a threat as NE has, let alone 2.

Good luck with that.

lol... honest to God. Easier said than done.

 

[Airraidtech]

screens? WHY THE FUCK WHY AGGIE!?

 

[Airraidtech]

OH wow a slant how hard was that? no lets run the screen.

If they make the 2 pt conversion they're down 10 (a TD and a FG). I think they have to.

 

[Golden Spur]

Man-up play by Andre Johnson there on the 2-pt conversion. The spread bet is getting a little interesting, 38-28.

 

[Shanemansj13]

TD Texans!

What a catch for 2 pt conversion.

Got a game, prob to late though.

38-28

 

[LeaderOCola]

Disagree.

I'll pull the relevant frames if there's an ani-gif of the side-angle slow mo replay they showed

 

[Shanemansj13]

Great onside kick.

Houston had it, gotta get that one!

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Most onside kicks aren't that interesting... that one was.

 

[Airraidtech]

I think that assessment is spot on.

So we're a good football team not a great one. So we still need a few years to continue developing. to actually compete for a AFC title. Then a another few years for Super Bowl.

 

[bone3421]

should have had that recovery......but i believe it is too late for the texans

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

NE has to be happy with Ridley. I don't know if Green-Ellis keeps driving for that extra yard.

 

[bone3421]

isnt that allowed in the 5 yard window??

I went back and looked at it, and I still disagree with you (and myself, a bit). He hit him with his forehead area on the side of the receiver's helmet. Yes, as the contact persisted, they ended up earhole-to-earhole, but that's not where the contact initiated. Regardless, that's still the exact kind of thing they are trying to avoid (and to be fair, I realize that this is not your point...you don't like they way they have the rules now, I gather). He could have just as easily hit the guy in the chest. As a fan when my team does it, I get pissed...they are too stupid apparently to realize that they are going to call this EVERY TIME. Hit him in the chest and you don't have to worry about it (or at least they have a gripe if it still gets called).

 

[Golden Spur]

72 yards to beat the spread, guys.

 

[Golden Spur]

Ball game, 41-28.
