Official 49ers @ Texans Game Thread, 10/25/2009
 

Didn't see one of these, yet. Keith delete if necessary....

That is twice I've started an official game day thread at the same time somebody else did.

Eheh, no biggie :).... Let's use this one, OK?

All the FOX guys except Bradshaw are predicting a Niners upset.....

That's fine. Just wanted to get everyone on the same page.....

Can I just say that I'm wanting to see a passing attack again today from the Texans?

Billick just called Brian Cushing "Brian Williams" :(

Texans win the flip and will receive.

AD brings the kickoff back to the Texan 32.

Slaton gets split out wide and gets a quick pass. I like it even if it was a short gain.

Pressure causes Schaub to scamper for 2.

Pass to Slaton in the flat goes for 2. 3rd and 6.

Schaub has to run again and comes up about 1 yard short of the 1st down. Texans to punt.

Niners fair catch at their 20.

1st play, sack by Mario! 2nd and 16.

Gore for 1. 3rd and 15.

Good morning, boys!

Mario gets a sack while they tried to get a pass out to Crabtree.

Morning!

On 3rd and 14, dump pass is dropped so Niners to punt.

JJ fields the ball at the Texan 30 but flag on the play. Holding on offense, 1/2 the distance, so a re-punt coming up.

JJ fields the ball at the Texan 40 and is immediately tackled. Texans ball.

Oh, what a swarming defense!! Good energy to start this game.

Jacoby caught the re-punt. I was a little nervous he'd drop it in the sunlight. At least we got better field position.

Ugh! 2nd and 1 and we go with the I formation up the middle for no gain. :o

Pass to OD good for about 9.

Slaton for no gain. 3rd and 1 coming up.

Slaton gets about 6 and the 1st down. Ball at the Niner 42.

Slaton caught in the backfield for a loss of about 5. 2nd and 15.

2nd down pass is inc.

No one open so Schaub throws it away. Texans to punt.

Turks punt goes out of bounds at the Niner 15.

This is ugly to start.

Our running game is stifling our offense.

I'm really liking Quin.

Gore for about 6.

DeMeco stops Gore for a 1 yd gain. 3rd and 3 coming up.

Nice breakup of the pass by GQ. Niners to punt.

JJ brings the punt back to the Texan 38. 6:38 left in the 1st quarter.

Yeah, he can play pretty good man coverage.

Dump to Walter good for 8. 2nd and 2.

Slaton TFL -3. 3rd and 5 coming up.

Owen Daniels up the seam against Patrick Willis. The passing game is getting started.

Another run formation on short yardage for a loss. Now we HAVE to pass. We got the 1st down with OD.

1st down pass is bobbled by OD inc.

Slaton for 1. 3rd and 9 coming up in the redzone.

Screen to Slaton goes for the 1st down at the 1. 1st and goal.

Slaton sweeps around right end for the TD!

Texans 7, Niners 0

Shotgun shovel pass to Slaton. We gained a yard. At least it looked like it could be a pass. Now Slaton get the screen for a 1st down!!!!

A rushing touchdown.

Thank God for the pitch. If they would've tried that dive, I think I would've threw the remote at the TV

Pitch to the edge for a TD. Thank goodness we didn't try up the middle. I got my 3 TEs on the field too. That could be a pass play later on in the game.

Why yes, we can blitz.

Niners receive the kickoff and bring it out to the 25.

Gore for 1.

Sack by Zgonina! -7 yds. 3rd and 16 coming up.

Pass to Crabtree short of the 1st down so Niners to punt.

False start on offense backs it up 5. 4th and 17.

Oh no. JJ runs it back all the way but flag on the play.....

Quinn with a tackle on Crabtree. Frank Bush is looking good early on here.

nice return by JJ, too bad we had a couple of flags

It's ok. Please don't lose your motivation because of the mistake. Just drive down the field and COME AWAY WITH POINTS. Preferably 7 but I wouldnt mind going up 10-0 either. Lets just put this game away. If we jump out to 14 we may be able to do some damage.

Block in the back on the Texans wipes out the excellent return. Texans will take over around their own 22.

End of 1st quarter.

Penalty on Texans -5. 1st and 15.

Pass to OD good for about 6.
