This game is just extremely too close for me...

If it comes down to FGs...

Ford brings the kickoff back to the Raider 39.

McFadden for 8.

McFadden for about 11, 1st down.

McFadden for 19. Ball at the Texan 19.

Bush gets 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.

End of the 3rd quarter.

Pass to DHB goes through his hands, inc. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Raiders use a timeout because the play clock was running out. They have one left.

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

On 3rd and 9, pass to Schilens goes for the TD.

False start -5 on the extra point makes the Raiders kick it again.

This time extra point is good.

Raiders 22, Texans 17

14:50 left in the game.

My question now is, "who is going to wake this offense up?"

We all know that is not Kubiak's strong suit...

Answer: no one...

It is clear that our o-line is getting "abused"...

Panthers have gone ahead of the Saints 27-23.

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

Janikowski's kickoff goes out of the endzone. Texans ball at their 20.

Foster for no gain.

Schaub can't find anyone open and scrambles for no gain. Makes it 3rd and 10 coming up.

Schaub's pass to Dreessen comes up short. Texans have to punt.

Moore fields the punt and is brought down at the Raiders 30. 13:22 left in the game.

Games like these are the reason the Texans offense cannot be considered elite...

When faced with adversity, majority of the time we cannot/will not overcome.

This game should have been a push over, yet here we are in the 4th qtr down by 5...

We have to learn how to step on the weak...

Wow, now a fake punt...clearly they want to put this game away...

McFadden for 3. 2nd and 7 coming up.

Pass to Ford gets 5 or 6. 3rd and 1 coming up.

McFadden TFL -2. Raiders have to punt on 4th and 3.

Campbell's pass goes inc. 4th down so Raiders to go for the FG.

Janikowski's 42-yarder is good.

Raiders 25, Texans 17

10 minutes left in the game.

Oakland is not weak. They list close games to NE and buffalo and beat the jets already. It is unrealistic to say we should step on the with no AJ or Mario. A loss would be bad but everyone expected a tough one.

Janikowski's kickoff goes out of the endzone, touchback. Texans ball at their 20.

Schaub's pass is tipped at the LOS, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Schaub is hit as he passes, ball goes inc. 3rd and 10 coming up. Should've been PI on the Raiders...

Texans use timeout #2.

Schaub's pass to JJ goes inc. Texans have to punt.

Moore brings the punt all the way back to the Texan 41. 20 yards on the return.

Forget that...

Oakland may be an OK team, but they are nowhere near what we were expected to be...

That's the problem, what we are expected to be always turns out to be not quite accurate...

My point is that great teams should be able to overcome injuries...

The only thing the Raiders have going for them is McFadden and he has been pretty much held in check before the 4th qtr...

Spin it how you want...We should have smashed these fools...

Campbell can't find a receiver and throws it away. 9:21 left in the game.

McFadden TFL -4 by DeMeco. Makes it 3rd and 14.

Campbell's pass is caught out of bounds, inc. Raiders have to punt. 8:30 left in the game.

JJ fair catches at the Texan 5.

I knew the Texans were gonna lose the minute I heard about Al Davis' death. I had a feeling the Raiders were gonna come out playing really hard to honor Al Davis... Im switching to another game, this shit is awful.

Raiders have taken over the game in the second half and are just outplaying us. Is their D that good, or is our offense overrated, or do we miss Andre that much ? And how does a 6'6" QB get that many passes blocked/tipped ?

If Shaub would stop throwing the ball to freaking Jacoby Jones...maybe we'd be alright...LOL

Shaub is just all off target...once he gets that glazed look in his eyes he just gets worse and worse...

Pass to Dreessen gets 9. Makes it 3rd and 1 coming up. 6 minutes left in the game.
