Official Texans @ Bills Game Thread, 11/01/2009

[Big Texas]

The shovel to Kevin should have been on 2nd down.

[Arky]

Oh no, Bills bring the kickoff all the way back to the Texan 34....

Lynch for -2 on the dump. 2nd and 12 at the Texan 36 coming up.

2 minute warning.

"Two of the better special team coaches in the league here." Next to the poor play of the ST units game after game this is what infuriates me about Marciano, everyone is constantly on his schlong. And based on what, his unit's giving up a 70 yard return and his unit's negating two good returns with penalties? Etc.?

The sooner that guy is gone the happier I'll be.

[Arky]

Lynch for about 5. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Pass to Reed good for 10 and a 1st down. 1:07 left.

Lynch for 14. Ball at the Texan 7. 56 secs. left.

On 1st down, the blitz comes and the pass is tipped inc.

Pass to Evans puts the ball at the 3.

Pass to TO goes inc. Nice play by Reeves.

Bills to go for the FG.

21 yarder is good.

Bills 10, Texans 6

18 secs left in the half.

I can live with being down by 4 after a terrible half of football. As someone else said, if the Texans were playing a decent team they'd be down by four touchdowns at this point.

But given the team's second half performances this year I can't say I'm overflowing with optimism at the moment.

[Arky]

I think they can pound it... Moats looks good.. C Brown looks slow.. Slaton should get another chance.....

[HPF Bob]

So, how many bullets do the Texans have with which to shoot themselves in the foot? If they can stop killing themselves, they might just win this.

If you started Ryan Moats on your fantasy team this week, you need to go get a lotto ticket tonight.

[WMH]

Our history indicates that we will DOMINATE the 2nd half. Let's hope history proves true.
