**AFC Divisional Round - Texans at Ravens** (-9.5, 46) Kickoff Sat 4:30 (1 Viewer)

[General Malaise]

Baltimore is in trouble.

 

[Wingnut]

FG range already

 

[Ilov80s]

Baltimore is in trouble.

Poor punt coverage and a coward FG to blame. I would be a little sick as a Ravens fan after this half.

 

[rockaction]

Every time I watch a game like this in the playoffs I think of that old Jacksonville/Denver game when Denver was heavily favored and Jacksonville stunned them back in 1996.

The Ambush At Mile High, apparently.

 

[rockaction]

Houston needed a touchdown there, if you ask me.

Let's see Fairbairn again.

Nope.

Not Tucker.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

****in Corey smh

 

[Wingnut]

Thats the play after the time out? Smh

 

[General Malaise]

Chad Carebare nooooooooop!

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Dangnabit

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

oh no Coby Feinhorn

 

[IHEARTFF]

Ravens could get a fg now

 

[The Frankman]

Thats the play after the time out? Smh

There was an in-his-face blitz. You want him to teleport?

 

[belljr]

Second miss of the year ouch

 

[Ghost Rider]

Idiot kickers. You can't miss ones like that if you hope to pull the upset.

 

[AAABatteries]

Baltimore is in trouble.

Take away the one scramble from CJ and Houston has as many penalties as YARDS rushing. How they are in this is a tad perplexing.

 

[dickey moe]

That's gonna sting.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

That was an uninspiring end to the drive.

 

[massraider]

Tied at the half sounds about right

 

[Cobbler1]

interesting no blitz there, they're giving Houston time to hit Collins with no double.

Ravens only rushing 4 consistently, they need to either double or bring an extra guy.

Really dumb to sit there on that 3rd and 13 and advertise that you’re not blitzing. What’s the harm in at least stacking the line before dropping back? Makes no sense. Got lucky with the miss.

 

[heckmanm]

Kashmiri Fairbanks wide right

 

[belljr]

Houston with a huge play this drive to pucker everyone

Could have been a half pucker

 

[Jayded]

Fairbairn is usually automatic. Texans still playing with house money so hopefully it doesn’t come down to that.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Hou d has really stepped up after that td drive

 

[The Frankman]

Zone with a spy on Jackson is a change. Again, Baltimore WRs are not getting open now.

 

[AAABatteries]

Oh man, Lamar almost flipped that.

 

[dickey moe]

Holy crap what's happened to the Ravens OL?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

I don't care if this is stone-age football or whatever, but I would just go into halftime.

Edit: This was about the 2nd down play. That was stupid IMO.

 

[Wingnut]

Trucked

 

[Cobbler1]

Ravens getting massively out coached

 

[IHEARTFF]

Holy crap what's happened to the Ravens OL?

Yeah that too

 

[AAABatteries]

Lamar is going to have to get his head right at halftime.

ETA - to be clear he’s been ok - but he has to have doubt creeping in.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Every team in the playoffs not Baltimore is liking this change of events

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Man, as an Eagle fan, I am jealous of all the good Defense in this game. Impressive stand by Houston, there.

 

[travdogg]

Texans gotta be happy with where they are at halftime.

Ravens gotta be a little concerned with how they have nobody getting open. Really missing Andrews right now.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Zone with a spy on Jackson is a change. Again, Baltimore WRs are not getting open now.

Great QBs in the NFL throw their WRs open.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Couldn't ask for more going into the half.

 

[AAABatteries]

Couldn't ask for more going into the half.

Those three points would have been nice for them but yeah, considering how the half went on offense and all the penalties they have to be ecstatic.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Both defenses here are playing great, but it obviously feels like the Texans margin for error is a lot slimmer. It feels like they will need to get a turnover or two to win this.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Halftime spread is 6.5

 

[Cobbler1]

Nothing Lamar could do that drive. No one was open on first down. 2 Free rushers immediately on 2nd down. Don’t know what Monken was doing during the bye but it was obvious that Houston was going to send extra rushers and he’s had very few answers for it.

 

[crushedspirit]

A little tense feeling for Lamar and the gang. Should be an interesting half as all the pressure are on the Ravens.

 

[General Malaise]

Todd Monken needs to figure some stuff out in a hurry. That was horrific play calling after the TD.

 

[Yenrub]

Not the prettiest half of football
Both defenses are obviously playing very well so far today
Texans made a nice adjustment on defense. Will be interesting to see if the Ravens offense can counter.
The crowd noise having a big effect on the Texans OL

 

[crushedspirit]

Texans OL is crumbling on the other side of things, but their D made some sweet adjustments.

 

[Yenrub]

Todd Monken needs to figure some stuff out in a hurry. That was horrific play calling after the TD.

Based on the replays it looked like all WR were running vertical routes that last couple of series.
Should add a screen or two and maybe some slants

 

[Jayded]

I gotta say as a Texans fan, win or lose, I’m especially happy that we’ve shown up in both games thus far.

I can’t count how many times and years we’ve had talent but just not shown up at all, regular season or playoffs. Love DeMeco.

 

[Cobbler1]

Agreed there have been 0 quick hitters over the middle. Might be time to bring back a little RPO

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

This feels wrong but according to the box score:

HOU defense: 3 sacks, 6 TFL, 5 QB hits

BAL defense: 0 sacks, 1 TFL, 1 QB hit

Theres the quick hitter

 

[The Frankman]

Finally a crosser to Likely.
