Game Thread W4 - Houston V Oakland (2 Viewers)

[Tsunami]

Despite my better judgment I just put Louis Murphy in over Devin Hester. Is he playing? Is he at full speed?

 

[timschochet]

My prediction: Foster gets the ball on this 2nd possession, and is the main ballcarrier for the rest of the game. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

This thread is now tied with "Sophie's Choice" for best tear-jerker.

 

[LABadger]

Saw this somewhere not sure if this is true:

Hou RB Arian Foster injured in pregame warmups (ankle). Believed to be high ankle sprain.

 

[faulkfan]

If we are going to freak out let's do so about the fact that McFadden will apparently not be getting red zone carries. Unless he was hurt I am hoping that Bush isn't going to get the rewards of McFadden carrying them down there.

 

[No. 16]

I'm hoping DMC wasn't in the redzone to give him a breather? Hopefully Bush doesn't keep redzone duties.

timschochet is like God - he is everywhere

 

[jude]

Please tell me this is a mistake.

It probably is. Someone from the staff will be around shortly to apologize for not sending an email about this

I cant believe this, first I have Rice, now Foster. Wheres the news today, usually these guys are on the ball!

ur seriously blaming paying a website? very sad.

Fixed

very sad

 

[The Dude]

WTF? Where is he? Where's Jamarcus Russell?

My season is over

 

[doubletrouble]

Derrick Ward BABY!!!

 

[timschochet]

My prediction: Foster gets the ball on this 2nd possession, and is the main ballcarrier for the rest of the game. Nothing to worry about.

Or maybe not. Ward gets the carry. OK, now we know there is something very wrong here.

Wrong

 

[Choke]

OOF!

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

ROFL

let the panicking begin

 

[timschochet]

I can't believe the announcers aren't saying anything. He's gotta be hurt, right?

 

[ICON211]

I like how the announcers are not even mentioning that Foster has not been in the game.

 

[Grady Wilson]

Well, I'm screwed for a few leagues. Great...

 

[Go deep]

Ward looks better than Foster.

 

[kncks12]

Clearly Foster is in a true RBBC situation and it is fully manifesting itself today.

Just saw Foster standing there on side. I bet he missed a meeting or something. He is dressed. The problem is that Ward looks good so that could turn into him getting more touches

 

[Donsmith753]

SELL SELL SELL!

 

[THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA]

Foster just standing on the sideline...nothing looks wrong with him.

No worries here. Foster is just getting the bottom 3rd of the RBBC. Once Ward and Slaton get their combined 67%, you will see nothing but Foster.

At this point I hope so.

 

[jurrassic]

How have the announcers made no mention of this?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

What a joke. No information from anywhere yet that confirms anything. Aren't they saying anything on the TV?

 

[ponchsox]

Congrats to those who sold high on Foster! Kubiak strikes again!

 

[Grady Wilson]

I like how the announcers are not even mentioning that Foster has not been in the game.

That's what I am surprised about as well. Shocked how not one thing has been said.

 

[NatronIsMean]

It's hard to believe the announcers have had nothing at all to say about Foster's absence!?!?

So many of these announcers are all about themselves and their set script. They're lame.

 

[gary mexico]

He might have stayed out too late last night jimmy-jackin around....

Why is this a surprise? Why do they care who is in the game?

 

[ponchsox]

I am praying he is just being benched for a quarter. This sucks really bad.

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

Last year it was Slaton

now it's Foster's turn HAHAHAHAHAH

 

[RUSF18]

Texans' message board says that the radio broadcast is saying he missed a team meeting.

It's just horrible incompetence by the announcers. I realize we're talking about Foster not being on the field and not Peyton Manning, but still ...

 

[Fire the Fat Man]

What the hell is going on!!! I have Foster in 3 of my 4 leagues WTF

I guess no one covers games when Oak plays??? Where is the f'n information!!!!

Drop the d-bag routine and recognize that when any team's starter is not on the field, it would be normal to discuss it, FF-related or not.

speculation from the local radio station that it is for missing curfew...

 

[Papa Georgio]

I am going to bet they had no idea he wasn't going to start and the staff is trying to get info before they mention it.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

Shame on you for discussing an aspect of the game not involving Foster!I was wondering the same thing.

Its not like he is Peyton Manning.

 

[kingmalaki]

I have no accurate links. This came out in the game thread on a Houston site:

Foster "OUT" due to coach's decision.

Then this came out:

RB Arian Foster inactive from ankle injury suffered in pregame warmups.

[Bluesbomber]

Any idea on length of penalty for missing the team meeting?

Thanks Captain Obvious

 

[identikit]

per Dave Richard of CBSSports.com:

According to a team official, Arian Foster is not hurt and is out due to a coach's decision. He is in uniform and on the sideline.

Excellent. 1 quarter punishment, then they unleash the Cracken!

Better this than an injury.
