Vikings at Texans (1 Viewer)

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Houston needs to win this game, or they might have to win at Indy next week to hold on to a bye if Denver and NE both win out (HOuston would drop to the 3 seed if that happens).

I recall a recent comment suggesting that a team with a first round Bye hasn't won the Super Bowl in X amount of years. Something to the effect the Bye has on interrupting the roll a team needs to be on to progress through the playoffs.

New Orleans won the Super Bowl in 2009 when they had a bye. Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl in 2008 when they had a bye.

Your "stats" mean nothing compared to the spotty recollection of something that someone may have said in my vicinity.

 

[encaitar]

I haven't seen Minnesota play the run this well since Pat Williams retired. This is a superb effort against one of the best rushing attacks in the league.

 

[GregR]

Is there a single aspect of the game the Vikings aren't winning? Can't think of one.

 

[Donnybrook]

Foster is killing me.

ditto. Vikings have a winning season is my only consolation.

I'm just giving you the facts, man. Jeez.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Noooooo!

Ponder fumbles the ball to the Texans.

 

[Ignoramus]

JJ!

 

[Ignoramus]

Don't often see Schaub overthrow AJ.

 

[Maelstrom]

Well played set of downs after the turnover.

 

[Donnybrook]

Flat is the perfect work to descibe the Texans offense.

 

[Ignoramus]

MIN defense is really disruptive today. Schaub looks lost, Foster has nowhere to run.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Ugly series by the Texans there. The crowd should be getting ornery.

 

[Ignoramus]

"Holding"

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

How many teams made their league's Championship game primarily thanks to Foster and ADP? This has got to be painful for those owners.

Oh, look! A nice Texans run by Ben Tate.

 

[Buckna]

Is there a single aspect of the game the Vikings aren't winning? Can't think of one.

Lot of little things not going Houston's way either. Tate finally gets sprung for a nice gain and trips over is own shoe laces. Next play Owen Daniels with a drop. Then throws a dart to Andre for the 1st who is slow to get up and comes off the field. Next play Schuab loses the ball. Comedy of errors.Edit: Then quick strike on a blown coverage to Walter, knee down at the one.

 

[Ignoramus]

That was not a TD.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Walter with a catch to the Vikings one.

And Tate remains in the game.

You poor SOBs.

I have Foster and ADP. Just barely holding on. Not what I expected.

 

[Dez]

1st and goal at the 1 and you don't run Foster a single time you deserve to lose this game Houston

 

[Jobber]

Great defensive stand right there.

 

[Ignoramus]

MIN defense is really disruptive today. Schaub looks lost, Foster has nowhere to run.

 

[Buckna]

Just awful series. Get all the way to the 1 and and fail to punch it in.

 

[Maelstrom]

Wow! Great goal line stand!

 

[Donnybrook]

Tate in

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Wow. Vikings dominate the Texans on the goal line stand. How is it the crowd isn't raining Boos on the home team?

 

[TwinTurbo]

I am pretty sure Foster is done for the day. No injury, they are just going to play Tate. He's not even wearing his helmet on the sideline.

Is he hurt? what's the deal?

 

[Ignoramus]

Oh, they've been booing since the first quarter.

 

[Buckna]

In other news, JJ Watt was credited with a full sack instead of the half sack originally tought. Puts him at 20.5

 

[GregR]

Foster was sitting on bench that whole series

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Then they boo like women. I'm guessing that Vikings fans just have more experience at it.

 

[Buckna]

Houston offense totally sucks today. Completely out of sync thanks to the Minn Defense. Foster wasn't getting it done, so they have now gone with Tate. Plus no point in risking injury to Foster.

 

[Donnybrook]

Wow! Great goal line stand!

Spoiler. Obviously I am not watching a live stream.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

I haven't seen anything about any injury. Just ineffective but the same can be said of most of the Texans offense.

 

[Buckna]

Brooks Reed getting taped up, looks to have maybe reaggravated his groin injury. Probably no coincidence that Peterson finally had a big run with Reed out.

 

[Neovivo]

Sad that JJ Watt is getting that much penetration on the O-line. Shameful. Oh well

 

[Ignoramus]

Simpson with a heck of a catch on the sideline.

 

[Neovivo]

That was a 50K hit. Hello wallet.

 

[flapgreen]

But we care about player safety!!!

 

[Ignoramus]

Oof. Smoked.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

How is that not a penalty?

Helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver? I may not like the rule but that was clearly a penalty in today's NFL.

 

[Buckna]

Watt should have two more sacks today, but Ponder has thrown it away very foolishly (IMO) at the last moment. But somehow Houston Def can't capitalize on a floater up for grabs.

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

What a play by Harrison Smith! Stops the Texan receiver just short of the first down.

Ahhhh...there. Now I hear you Texan fans. Boo 'em!

 

[Buckna]

How is that not a penalty?Helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver? I may not like the rule but that was clearly a penalty in today's NFL.

Should have been a penalty in today's NFL. IMO, it didn't seem intentional from the slo-mo replay so IDK about a fine. Jackson goes low, but the receiver does too at the last moment

 

[Ignoramus]

Wish Kubiak would challenge that spot.

 

[panzervike]

Announcers reported that Foster is not injured, but is on the bench. No reason given.

 

[GregR]

Foster not on sideline that I can find. Locker room I guess

 

[Badgers Fan]

Foster apparantly had an allergic reaction to some medication he took. #$%^ fantasy

 

[Buckna]

Foster in the locker room with an "illness."

 

[Neovivo]

Houston is willing to lose the game to stop Peterson. All out 11 guys to cover the run. And it keeps getting them burned.
