Game Thread W4 - Houston V Oakland (1 Viewer)

[pantagrapher]

So, tonight if Randy Moss isn't in the game I guess the announcers won't make one mention of it either.

Moss >>>>>>> Foster. Don't compare the insignificant Foster with Moss. This isn't even close... Foster didn't really do anything to keep his job.

Dude, he was and has been the starting RB for the Texans and has done well so far this season. Don't be so obtuse and at least use some common sense. Again, do you really watch football?

He had one big game...that is it. Jerome Harrison had a huge game last year and that did nothing to ensure him a starting position. Same for Jamaal Charles...he lost his starting job despite an awesome end of the season last year. This is football. A huge game doesn't ensure you have a job moving forward. Ward and Slaton are both capable backs. Foster isn't a stud by any means. This is not as big of a deal as everyone thinks.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Press box announcement _ McFadden has hamstring injury. Return is questionable. That probably means no chance.

 

[ig-88]

Man. I hope Kubiak disciplines Foster every week.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Houston takes over at 20 after Seabass touchback. 10:56 left. Get a stop, a touchdown, and it's a game

Foster hammers the middle for 5 yards, Kelly stop. Not a good start

 

[jerry jones]

hey, that was the first pass murphy caught today

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Louis Murphy finally catches a pass _ Schaub wings one out of bounds and he grabs it (Lamarr Houston pressures him into incompletion)

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Third and five, Raiders get the three and out they need. Some of you crack me up. You give up so easily. I may not think they're going to win, but hell, it's a football game, it's 31-21, and team B is a stop and a TD away from a 3-point deficit.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Raiders first penalty. Holding on receiving team, Brandon Myers, 9:56 left in the game. Pushes Raiders back to 18 . . .

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Gradkowski to Zach Miller for first down past the 30.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Bush big gain for first down. 11-yard gain. That's why it's nice to have two backs. So seldom are both healthy

 

[doomsdaydoc]

what is the deal with mcfadden

 

[rayjones248]

hope you mcfadden owners sold high on him, it's bush time

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Gradkowski to JLH on slant for big yards. A very nice grab in stride, 26 yards, biggest JLH offensiive play in awhile. Gradkowski to Zach Miller in right flat, gain of 5

Gradkowski forces awkward throw to Murphy, some contact, not called. Not inteference, but could have been 5-yard lllegal contact. No call.

 

[ghawk]

Murphy finally gets a catch!

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Gradkowski finds Murphyat the 25-yard this time. First down

 

[jerry jones]

Louis Murphy finally catches a pass _ Schaub wings one out of bounds and he grabs it (Lamarr Houston pressures him into incompletion)

he just needed that to loosen up..!

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Bush makes nice surge, gets 4 yards to the 21.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Gradkowski shoots one high for Murphy, he tips it, luckily no defenders around to pick it off. It's third-and-6 at 21-yard line 6:23 left.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Miscommunication, Gradkowski throws to no one in right corner of end zone. He and JLH must have had some confusion. Seabass out for 39-yard FGA. He makes it.

Had to go with seabass FG there, they needed two scores. Now it's up to defense to make the stop. I know, I know, where was that kick last week

 

[No. 16]

DEFENSE! Let's go!

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Seabass kicks it out of the end zone. Houston starts at 20, hoping to work the clock.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Nice first play, Foster gets very little on first-and-10, Trevor Scott, Quentin Groves. It's second-and-8.

Toss left, Foster turns the corner for good gain, Tyvon Branch makes tackle. Houston first down.

 

[No. 16]

Let's go.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Foster no gain, second-and-10

Foster keeps his legs churning, gets three extra yards. Got 4 should have had 1.

Third-and-6 at 34, Stretch play to Foster right, he doesn't get it. Ultimate lack of respect for run defense. We'll run it third-and-6. Raiders stop it at four yards. They'll get the ball back

 

[Raiderfan32904]

JLH fields punt, hit quickly by three Texans. There's 3:04 and it's a big time ``BRUUCE'' chant. Raiders need to go 75 yards.

Screen right to Bush gets some yards, but enough as hoped. Gain of 7, third-and-3 at the 32 yard line. Two down territory at this point

 

[Buzzbait]

hope you mcfadden owners sold high on him, it's bush time

If you say that because you think McFadden is injury prone I can't really disagree. If however you think Bush is going to take back the spotlight then I don't agree at all. McFadden is 3rd in the league in total yards. I think he's legit. As long as he's healthy he isn't going anywhere and will be Oaklands #1 RB.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Gradkowski throws to DHB, who pleads for flag (defender won't let him inside). He gets the holding call. DHB has got that Tim Brown please call the penalty move down.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

First-and-10 from 37, 2:17 left, Bush finds room, gains 6 yards to the 43 at the 2-minute warning

 

[Raiderfan32904]

2nd and 4 from 43, Gradkowski throws one away on blitz, didn't make it out of tackle box, he got an intentional grounding. Second penalty by Raiders, and it's a big one. Loss of down. Gradkowski claiming receiver, but no doubt what he was doing.

 

[No. 16]

Freakin Murphy.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

third-and-16 pass has DHB, ball slightly behind him, it hits DHB but he wasn't ready for it. Fourth-and-16 . . .here's your ballgame. Murphy can't hold, Troy Nolan intercepts, 1:40 left, and it's over.

 

[ghawk]

Freakin Murphy.

Good GRIEF!!!! How the hell does he drop that pass? UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[bbuster]

WOW...Scobee just nailed a 59 yarder with seconds left in regulation to beat the Colts

 

[No. 16]

Tell me about it!!1-3 now.

Jerk.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Wow. FBG had Foster pegged as the #1 RB in non-PPR leagues. Nice.LOL, at this point I'm better of perusing Rotoworld every Sunday morning and just coming up with my own projections. This is gonna be a huge mistake starting Foster.

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo]

I withdraw my objection

 

[ponchsox]

WOW, this is crazy. After Foster was benched most of the first half and Vick got hurt, I assumed I lost and turned off the games and laptop out of frustration. At the time I had zero from Foster and Vick. I just came back to see how much I was down with Moss left to play and I see Foster went nuts and I'm now ahead by 25!!

I take back what I said about Kubiak. He obviously motivated Foster.

 

[D'OHtis]

I withdraw my objection :IBTL:

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Can't wait for Tom Cable to give another, "we done got over that thar hump" speech.

 

[pfalvey]

Why do you guys keep feeding EdwardCat? He's a pretty well known troll around here. Ignore him.

A troll is someone who attempt to provoke others. I'm providing a sound argument which panicked Foster owners find frustrating. It isn't my fault you don't agree with me. That doesn't make me a troll, though.

I've seem your act in a lot of threads. you're a troll.

+1. From what I can tell this guy rarely posts during the week, but come Sunday he's very active in the SP posting all kinds of things which I'm sure he knows will cause trouble. The SP will not get better until these kinds of posters are gone. He's been doing it for years.

Well overcoming the dark period that was the Derrick Ward era certainly deserves some POY consideration -QG

Actually FBG had this right if scrubs like Slaton and Ward are getting 100+ yards and a td just think what Foster would have got

Yep. Guess this just goes to show they are pulling projections out of their ### just like everyone else.

Update?

Is Foster still irrelevant?
