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

[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.

By your logic, teams should NEVER punt.

There are plenty of times to punt. But not when converting is somewhere around a 50-50 proposition, and converting increases your chance of winning way more than failing to convert increases your chance of losing.

Teams should never punt in the opposition half IMHO.Unless it's an extreme situation where you got sacked twice and it's 4th and 20 or something.

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.

Texans with an outside shot if they win out.

 

[Boom Switch]

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

Very big. Especially for a guy in my league who is up by 1.5 pts right now and the other guy has ray rice lol. That sucks....

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

Well, there is still time for them to blow it, although they sure don't look like they're going to now.Then again, there was the Jets game....

 

[Anarchy99]

Not that anyone cares, but mounted a rally to take the lead fantasy wise up against Flacco and Mason. Was all set to win . . . and now comes OT.

I'll take those odds.

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

Great comeback by the Texans.

This

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?

Yeah Kubiak is all Shanahan - they only mention it 20 times a game....

Kubiak coached under Mike Shanahan in Denver and prior to that he did a short stint as QB coach under George Seifert and 49ers

Yeah, not sure why my brain is only half functioning, but I was thinking of Harbaugh.

 

[gethugefast1]

[thejag]

Ballgame? Can the Balt D actually step up?

 

[Romofan]

[rick6668]

Great punt and coverage.

 

[Romofan]

Ravens D better have been sucking down oxygen

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

Game ending on a safety would be hilarious.

 

[rick6668]

Almost ended the game right there

 

[knowledge dropper]

Texans turnover would be a microcosm of their season

 

[gethugefast1]

Texans playing with 3 downs now, not 4...

they'll be punting on 4th down, not going for it like last 2 drives

 

[fasteddie_21]

Soul.

Crushing.

 

[rick6668]

That's it

 

[3nOut]

ouch!

 

[CrossEyed]

All that just to float a duck out there in OT.

 

[Romofan]

wow Debbie Downer

 

[Ignoramus]

Irony: Houston pick six to win it.

Un-irony.

[bostonfred]

What an ending. Great job by the Ravens to hang in there and great game by the Texans. Bummer that they couldn't pull it out but this was a fun one.

Every time you think the Texans might be ready to become a good team, they don't.
