Game Thread W14 - Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

you never go for 2 when you are down 9, because if you don't make it, it's now a 2 possession game.

It's a two-possession game whether you miss it now or miss it later. The only difference is that if you miss it now, you know it's a two-possession game. That knowledge may come in handy.

i dont get your knowledge, now they still have a fighting chance of tying game. If the missed 2 before they know they are done.

The have a fighting chance of tying the game only if they're going to make the two-point conversion. But if they're going to make the two-point conversion, what's the harm in making it now instead of later?

There's a very long thread on this, but why do you think they would miss it earlier, but make it later?

If they miss the first one, it's game over

 

[infantsam]

foster is ridiculous

 

[CrossEyed]

Ravens D is exhausted. Line up and go.

 

[thejag]

This is one hell of a second half by the Texans on both sides of the ball.

If they miss the second one, it's really game over.

 

[CrossEyed]

Wow!!

 

[mr roboto]

Johnson = perfect.

 

[flapgreen]

WOWWOOW

 

[infantsam]

sweet

 

[knowledge dropper]

Ravens D was out of gas

 

[GroveDiesel]

You know, the 2 point conversion thing is kind of like a football version of Schrodinger's cat.

WOW! GREAT play by both Schaub and Johnson. Unreal.

 

[N Zone]

Harbaugh's an idiot for not calling a timeout to give his defense a rest.

Great comeback by the Texans.

 

[knickstorm]

lol i thought johnson was gonna drop the ball while holding it against the ground

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Wow, AJ. And wow, AJ...again.

 

[CrossEyed]

Yes!!!

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

I think the Ravens should have gone for it there.If they make it, the game is over. If they miss it, it's the same as a punt except for about a 35-yard difference, but that's not a huge deal.

 

[fasteddie_21]

WOOHOO!

WHAT A COMEBACK FOR THE TEXANS

and me!!!

 

[flapgreen]

OMG!

 

[N Zone]

2 points and tie game. Awesome!

 

[thejag]

WOW! What a great comeback!

 

[biggamer3]

what a game

Hope texans win!

 

[infantsam]

matty ice

 

[knickstorm]

wow i'm almost disappointed i had a bye week in the playoffs, schaub is lighting it up.....dont know why the texans cant even play half this good in the 1st half of games.

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

Well, this turned into quite a game, didn't it?

 

[bulger2holt]

awesome game. Come on Houston. If they win the toss, it's over

 

[King of the Wolfies]

 

[Ghost Rider]

Wow, what a finish!

 

[Ignoramus]

Oh mama.

 

[CrossEyed]

Had the Texans been catching the ball all night this game would be over.

 

[bostonfred]

Pretty much as impressive as it gets

 

[bakes]

This game is as good as the Vikings-Giants game was bad, and that's saying a LOT. Two amazing drives and the last two catches were just flat out sick.

 

[jylly18]

Ray Rice has 15 carries with the Ravens having the lead most of the night. That's an issue.

 

[CrossEyed]

awesome game. Come on Houston. If they win the toss, it's over

Yep. Probably one of the more important coin tosses you'll see.

 

[Pope Benedict XVI Fan]

I think the Ravens should have gone for it there.If they make it, the game is over. If they miss it, it's the same as a punt except for about a 35-yard difference, but that's not a huge deal.

Plus if they don't convert and then concede a TD and 2 pointer, they now have probably around 50 seconds on the clock rather than 21 - enough time with 2 TOs to drive for a game winning FG.

By your logic, teams should NEVER punt.

 

[guest 1553]

That had to be one of the prettiest drives I've ever seen.

 

[Romofan]

wow c'mon OT!!!

 

[Ignoramus]

Setting up nicely for the Texans to make a heroic comeback only to blow it on a stupid play in the final minute.

 

[CrossEyed]

Just when you think the Texans are going to stink again, they don't.

 

[Ignoramus]

awesome game. Come on Houston. If they win the toss, it's over

Yep. Probably one of the more important coin tosses you'll see.

Easy there. Only one of these teams is heading for the playoffs.

 

[Romofan]

Wow ............if Bal Def has to go back out there - they are screwed................they are soooo gassed

 

[thejag]

How do you give up back to back drives of 99 and 95 yards in the 4th quarter?

 

[Romofan]

Lucky bastards win the toss....

 

[CrossEyed]

Big coin toss win. Ravens better score on this drive or it might be over.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

I just don't get why coaches challenge plays like this. Doesn't he have someone in the booth watching the replay? The knee landed out of bounds, very clearly. Why waste a timeout?

You have to remember that he comes from the Andy Reid coaching tree. So it's his destiny to make horrible challenges and never win them.

what he said.

Wait, what? Kubiak from Reid's coaching tree? How?

 

[bryhamm]

How do you give up back to back 98 and 95 yard drives in the 4th quarter?

how do you throw it on late on 3rd down for the 2nd consecutive game?

 

[biggamer3]

wow huge coin flip for Ravens.

If Texans got flip it was about 89% chance they drive easily down field

i wonder how many leagues are hanging in the balance right now. what a great game to end an otherwise dreadful weekend.
