The ensuing kickoff goes out of the end zone, touchback. Texans will have the ball at their 20.

--------------------------------------

Foster for almost 3. 2nd and 8 coming up.

Fitz can't find a receiver and takes off but is caught for a loss of 1. 3rd and 9 coming up.

2 minute warning.

On 3rd and 9, Fitz's pass to Hopkins off the mark, inc. Texans will have to punt.

Brown returns the punt to the Steeler 38 yard line. Steeler's ball.

Short pass to Bell goes for big gainer. About 27 yards. Ball at the Texan 35.

Ben's deep pass to Bryant in the end zone is good for the TD.

Texans 13, Steelers 10

1:27 left in the half.

Manning muffs the ensuing kickoff and gets tackled at the Texan 5.

-------------------------------------

Screen to Foster only goes for 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.

Foster loses 1. Steelers use their final timeout. 3rd and 11 coming up w/1:10 left in the half. Play is being reviewed to see if Foster fumbled.....

Play is reversed. Steelers will take over on the Texan 3 or 4 yard line. Jeeeez.......

-------------------

Steelers use a half-back-like pass to put it in the end zone for the TD.

Steelers 17, Texans 13

1:03 left in the half.

Unbelievable.

Houston Texans football, gentlemen.

The ensuing kickoff goes out of the end zone for a touchback. Texans will have the ball at their 20.

-------------------------------------

Man, Fitz's pass is tipped and INT'ed by Keisel. He returns it to the Texan 8 yard line. Steeler's ball.

even more unbelievable, shh.

24 points in 3 minutes. Ridiculous. And most of it's on the O.

Pass to Brown goes to the 3. 34 seconds left in the half.

Pass to Bell in the corner of the end zone goes for the TD.

Steelers 24, Texans 13

14 seconds left in the half.

-----------------

Well, this one is shaping up as a memorable game......:rolleyes:

The ensuing kickoff goes out of the end zone. Texans will take over at their 20.

Texans kneel it.

Halftime.

Lazy ass careless Arian foster fumble...didn't even attempt to pick it up after rolling on top of it...

Dumb ass Daniel manning...who shouldn't even be on the team

Then Fitzpatrick becomes Fitzpatrick...

Halftime stats:

Passing: Fitz 8/13, 68 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Rushing: Foster 13/88, Blue 4/7

Receiving: D Hop 1/23, D Johnson 1/15, Blue 1/11, Graham 1/6, Foster 2/4, AJ 1/4

Tackles: Merci 4, Crick/Lewis/Mohamed 3 each, Watt/JJo/Swearinger/Tuggle/Pickett 2 each

Time of possession: Texans 15:53, Steelers 14:07

1st downs: Texans 9, Steelers 10

Total yards: Texans 168, Steelers 183

3rd down efficiency: Texans 3/7, Steelers 3/7

Red zone: Texans 1/1, Steelers 2/2

Penalties: Texans 1/5, Steelers 0/0

Turnovers: Texans 2, Steelers 1

The even worse part of this is the fact that Fitzpatrick is coming out of the tunnel as the expected savior...

This is the second time I have seen Swearinger notice that someone was out of position...he must be the only one that knows the play book or has any awareness outside of Watt...

Well, it's pretty much on everyone:

Fked up return by Manning put them in a hole.

Foster fumble.

JJo about five yards behind his man on a stupid trick play that should never work in the NFL.

Irresponsible play calling paired with a bad pass result in another turnover.

Blown coverage because of abject confusion after the Steelers offense does something radical and puts a man in motion. (Do these guys practice or just wear Go Pros and grab-ass around?)

So there's plenty of blame to go around. Like I said, Houston Texans football.

Sure am enjoying these young guys, though.

Manning brings the kickoff back and fumbles again at the 24 but recovers. Texan's ball.

---------------------------------------

Pass to Fido gets 9.

Foster gets stuffed for no gain. 3rd and 1 coming up.

Foster stuffed for no gain. Texans will punt.

Brown brings the punt back to the Steeler 34. Steeler's ball.

One of the differences between the 1QTR and 2nd QTR? Steelers figured out they don't need to respect Fitz.

There was all this talk about becoming stronger up front and we look as weak as ever...can't pick up one yard consistently...

Bell for about 4 or 5. 13 minutes left in the 3rd qtr.

Short pass to Bell gets 3. 3rd and 2 coming up.

Pass to Blount goes for about 7 and the 1st down. Ball around midfield.

Flea-flicker deep pass sails inc in the end zone. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Draw to Archer goes for 9. 3rd and 1 coming up.

Blount gets 1......just short of the 1st down marker.

Ben tries to draw the Texans offsides and takes the delay of game penalty. Steelers to punt. 9:35 left in the 3rd qtr.

Punt is downed by the Steelers at the Texan 7 yard line. Texan's ball.

Hard to defend 2 stupid turnovers deep in your own zone. One at the 2yd line.
