Hola, muchachos. Good luck today, Texan fans. I know you guys are shorthanded and so expect the Ravens to win if crackhead Flacco doesn't show up. My guess is 31-13 Ravens.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Texans converted 3 3rd-and-longs before punting. Foster had a nice screen-and-run. Ravens ball on about the 3.

 

[GregR]

How was that not intentional grounding on Flacco? In the pocket, no receiver near and the ball didn't make it close to the LOS.

 

[GregR]

Antonio Smith with a second personal foul. Ravens with their 4th play now inside the 1. Flacco keeper for a TD.

I thought the same, Greg.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

If Houston keeps getting themselves into 3rd and long against the I-smell-blood Ravens D, they may have issues. They've dug out of that hole a few times, but I think they may be playing with fire.

 

[GregR]

Without anyone who can stretch the field or demand a double team, I think they'll be seeing a lot of third and long all day.

 

[GregR]

Ravens blitzed 6 again, but OD with a first down.

 

[GregR]

I was just typing that the last two games, Schaub has been short so much throwing to Jacoby Jones that I wonder if he's running his routes the right depth. Then the announcer comments that it looked like Schaub was expecting the route to be shorter.

 

[Walton Goggins]

And he said if even Jones ran it shorter wouldn't be enough for a 1st down anyway.

HOU defense is looking great so far and BALT defense isn't looking as dominate as they were vs Jets

 

[Walton Goggins]

nice run by Tate!

 

[GregR]

Great run blocking there. Meyer got to the second level and got on Ray Lewis.

Oops, Brisiel.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Went for it down on 20 and came up short!!

 

[GregR]

7 men on that blitz by the Ravens.

 

[Walton Goggins]

WTF?!?! Kick the FG for easy 3 pts. TONS of game left. Dumb call

 

[Walton Goggins]

Officials "miss" the face mask call on BALT defense on that 4th down run

 

[Walton Goggins]

Stripped Flacco, Texans D recovers!!!

 

[GregR]

Texans get the ball back as Tim Jamison strips Flacco.

 

[GregR]

Tate fumbles into end zone and Texans O-line recovers it for a TD.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Tate fumbles in endzoze, Texans lineman recovered! TD!!!

 

[Country Boy]

So why did they pull Foster out? Got to have him with touches on the goal line

 

[GregR]

Not sure, Tate went in with the ball on maybe the 15 or so.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Mixing Foster and Tate - except for fumble in endzone, Tate is looking good as well as Foster vs. BALT

Announcers mentioned Ward may also get carries

 

[GregR]

Tate didn't actually get goal line carries, they were red zone though. he got it up to about the 2 or so and fumbled it into the end zone.

 

[Walton Goggins]

pretty sure with receiving game going to take a back seat, HOU will need to run everyone they have

 

[GregR]

Flacco is getting hit a lot today. And that sack was on Leach I think, didn't slow down Barwin enough before releasing.

 

[Native]

Houston is a really good football team, both offensively and defensively. Even moreso given that theyre missing their top two players.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Tell you what, it's really nice to see so far the HOU defense really stepping it up and taking it to Flacco

 

[GregR]

Torrey Smith nearly had a deep touchdown but couldn't stay in bounds.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Flacco is looking as bad today as he did vs. Jets

 

[Walton Goggins]

INT by Joseph and Jones catches right past midfield. Texans have a legit shot to get a FG out of this. TO HOU

 

[Walton Goggins]

maybe not, false start

FYI: two drop catches by Foster

 

[GregR]

I expected the Ravens would be up by more than 3 at the half. They aren't moving the ball as well as I would have thought. Their rushing game hasn't gotten going at all. Rice's first two carries went for 6 yards each and after that, 6 more carries for a total of 4 yards. Fantasy wise though still doing well with 49 receiving yards.

 

[roadkill1292]

This is looking dismayingly like the loss to Tennessee. Except that the pass protection is way worse.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Bomb to Jones , TD Texans!

 

[GregR]

Jacoby Jones touchdown against Ed Reed. Matt Schaub may have twisted his ankle a bit on the play before but still made the pass.

 

[GregR]

Owen Daniels took 4 Ravens with him in coverage on the touchdown, leaving just Ed Reed on Jacoby.

 

[GregR]

Torrey Smith big catch.

 

[GregR]

That sack is on Schaub, he's got to get rid of it when he sees Johnson coming.

 

[GregR]

Made up for it getting the ball deep to Jacoby Jones and protecting him from the big hit with a low throw.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Another HUGE stop by HOU defense, forcing BALT to kick another FG

 

[Raider Nation]

Whatever happened to the coffin corner? It's shameful to punt the ball into the end zone from their side of the field.

 

[GregR]

Ricky Williams TD after Ray Rice gets them inside the 10 and has to take a breather.

 

[ffldrew]

As a former Ray Rice owner to all of you this year... I feel your pain.

For the review, does his second foot ever hit the ground or does it bounce off the receiver's shoe.

I guess three of us saw that.

be honest - how many of you knew that rule?

I meant the defender's foot. It looked as he tries to drag his foot he gets kicked upwards before it hit the ground and it carries out of bounds. I knew of the two feet and the "pushed out" no longer matters, but I am still shuked about the "both feet vs two feet" in the San Fran game.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Looked like Jones foot touched the ground but even so was slightly short of 1st down
