**AFC Divisional Round - Texans at Ravens** (-9.5, 46) Kickoff Sat 4:30 (2 Viewers)

[The Frankman]

Lamar had enough time in the pocket to write his MVP acceptance speech on that last play.

 

[General Malaise]

3rd and 15, this has to be a blitz Ravens...

What? No.

The last four 3rd and longs the Ravens sent 4 and the Texans converted them. Now it looked like on that last one the Ravens ran a stunt with only 4 that managed to get home, but Texans had looked like they were handling it better.

I was just questioning why any coach would bring a blitz there.....they made the right call.

 

[The Frankman]

4th and 1 at midfield? Go for it.

 

[General Malaise]

Run run run run run

 

[rockaction]

Huh. This could get interesting.

 

[The Frankman]

... How do you come into a game with Baltimore and forget to account for Lamar's scrambling?

 

[-OZ-]

Perfect play call

 

[General Malaise]

WHAT A ****ING PLAY!

 

[Major]

4th and 1 at midfield? Go for it.

That was huge play for them. Going to be tough for Houston to make up 10 or more points.

 

[belljr]

I would have just laid on the ground. I saw Stanley coming at me

 

[The Frankman]

Baltimore already in FG range. This is going to be do-or-die time for the Houston D.

 

[massraider]

I would have just laid on the ground. I saw Stanley coming at me

That looked like a bear attacking a child

 

[General Malaise]

I would have just laid on the ground. I saw Stanley coming at me

I would have soiled myself too to make sure he left me alone.

 

[rockaction]

... How do you come into a game with Baltimore and forget to account for Lamar's scrambling?

Great question. I commend you for your powers of observation and your inquisitive nature!

 

[Desert_Power]

If they need juice, plodding D Pierce isn’t the solution.

Singletary tested so bad at the combine he became the standard-bearer for horrible testing guys that stuck around the NFL.

Pierce out-tested him in droves.

Pretty forgettable season outside of the KRTD. Not really sure what happened to him.

 

[The Frankman]

Yikes, Nelson's head bend awkwardly on that tackle,

 

[General Malaise]

Take all the time off the clock every snap.

 

[rockaction]

Pretty forgettable season outside of the KRTD. Not really sure what happened to him.

Yep. He wasn't good. I guess I'm just a fan who thinks you see the obvious problem with running Singletary and maybe you might try for a spark. But that's fan thinking.

 

[massraider]

Yeah let's get that neck checked out

 

[The Frankman]

OH COME ON

HOW DO YOU JUMP ON THAT??

 

[travdogg]

Some real brain farts by the Texans on this drive

 

[rockaction]

How on earth you gonna jump there? One second?

Oh, Greenard. You've been so good this year. . .

 

[Deamon]

Damn, how did that work.

 

[belljr]

 

[AAABatteries]

moron

 

[Grahamburn]

Texans looking like the young team they are.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

These penalties for Houston are amazingly stupid. Like peewee football garbage.

 

[rockaction]

Texans looking like the young team they are.

The problem is that the guys on their lines aren't young for the most part. Greenard is a vet. Tunsil is a vet.

 

[The_Man]

People going to point to that call as evidence of refs’ bias

 

[General Malaise]

Best thing about betting on Baltimore is you get one of the smartest game managers in the world in Harbaugh. He does all the little things right. Year in, year out. That was textbook smart coaching.

Meanwhile Dallas' fans have Big Mac and his scrambled egg brain farting up game management.

 

[kface]

Texans look winded

The scariest part of Baltimore is the oline, dline, lbs etc...

 

[BassNBrew]

This game is good and all...but it's missing the joy of Dallas or Philly imploding.

 

[Major]

You must not watch must Tunsil. He's good for at least 2-3 false starts a game.

IIRC the Texans are actually one of the older teams in the league. They have a lot of vets on stop gap contracts.

no they aren't

[JetMaxx]

How does a spot get reversed without a coaches challenge?

 

[The Frankman]

Baltimore is grinding out the run game now; the issue is the play action

and just as I say that Jackson to Likely on the TD.

 

[Buckna]

Pretty forgettable season outside of the KRTD. Not really sure what happened to him.

Yep. He wasn't good. I guess I'm just a fan who thinks you see the obvious problem with running Singletary and maybe you might try for a spark. But that's fan thinking.

He apparently could not adapt and fit Slowik's blocking scheme change. It didn’t help that most of the o’line was injured the first half of the season and struggled picking up the scheme. Then he got hurt and Singletary blew up right when the schedule got easier and the line gelled. Texans need an upgrade at RB next year, Singletary has moments but is nothing special or consistent.

 

[-OZ-]

Sorry Texans, but you have a really bright future.

 

[Cobbler1]

I’ve never seen that play not work!!!

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

that drive was a killer.

 

[crushedspirit]

This Likely has been quite a baller for the Ravens down the stretch.

 

[Grahamburn]

What a crap throw.

 

[Yenrub]

12 plays 93 yards
I’d say the Ravens offense made some nice halftime adjustments.

 

[massraider]

Was that over Surtain?

 

[Ilov80s]

Game.

 

[irish eyes]

Texans made it a game for while.

 

[crushedspirit]

Good to finally see Lamar turn the corner when the pressure was on. Ravens OC made some really good adjustments at the half.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Well phooey
