Official Texans @ Raiders Game Thread, 11/21/2016

[barrett]

O'Brien should have challenged on 3rd down when we clearly made it by a half yard. We made this one too, but it's close enough to get screwed by 'inconclusive' replay.

[Arky]

Hunt brings the ensuing kickoff back to the Texan 44. Nice.

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

L Miller for 5. Griffin shaken up on the play...

Pass over the middle to Fido goes to the Raider 37.

Deep ball to Fuller is uncatchable, out of bounds, inc.

L Miller gets about 4. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Oz burns a timeout (#1).

Pass to Hop gets 8 or 9 and the 1st down at the Raider 24.

L Miller for about 5.

Raiders use a timeout (#1).

On 2nd and 5, L Miller goes for 4. 3rd and 1 coming up.

L Miller goes left for 1 or so.... bad spot.... 4th and inches....Texans going for it....

Hunt gets stopped short according to the spot..... OB is challenging the spot.... this should be overturned, 1st down Texans.....

Oh my god, robbery... Raider's ball.

[barrett]

How are those last replays not conclusive?!?! That's brutal. Do we have big Cartel money on this game or something?

[Big Texas]

Wow...they are trying to screw us

[barrett]

If O'Brien doesn't take at least $50K in fines after this game I'll be disappointed. We have been cheated so bad that even the ESPN schills are joking about us definitely not getting a call on the near sideline.

[Arky]

Pass to Cooper gets 8.

Murray gets the 1st down with a 2 yard gain. Ball at the Raider 26, 5:11 left in the game.

Pass to Crabtree off his hands, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Pass to Murray goes for big gainer. Ball is spotted at the Texan 35.

Screen to Cooper goes for the TD.

Raiders 27, Texans 20

4:43 left in the game.

[chuck]

BOB is an imbecile.

[barrett]

We're punting with 1 TO left?

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff a touchback. Texan's ball at their 25.

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

Pass to Fido goes for 5.

Oz's pass is nearly INT'ed by the Raiders but inc. 3rd and 4 coming up.

Pass to Hop goes for the 1st down at the Texan 39.

L Miller for 4. 3:43 left in the game.

Oz gets sacked. Flag is down.....holding on the Texans is declined. Brings up 3rd and 10.

Pass to Mumphrey only gets 5. Texans are punting.

Raiders return the punt to their 20 yard line. Raider's ball.

[barrett]

For 36 yards of field position we gave up the ball with 3 minutes left? That should get a guy fired. I guarantee our win expectancy just dropped significantly with that punt.

McNeck's not firing anyone. This is the team. This is who they are. This is who they will always be. BOB, no BOB. Smith, no Smith. McNeck is a disgusting reptile who cares about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and could give a shit about winning. Once cancer gets him Fredo takes over and it gets worse.

[barrett]

I'm done with this team until O'Brien is gone. 4th and 5 and you punt the pall from midfield with 3 minutes left down 7. That is truly embarrassing and gutless. HS coaches get fired for that kind of stuff because HS moms know how bad it is and complain.

[barrett]

That 4th down conversion is the cherry on top of our pathetic organization. Del Rio and the Raiders try to give it back to us with a pointless 4th down attempt and we let them convert.

[Arky]

Murray for 2 or 3.

Deep pass to Richard goes for a big gainer. Ball at the Texan 48.

Murray for 4.

Murray for 2. 3rd and 4 coming up.

Murray for 3. Flag is down.....holding on the Raiders is declined.
Raiders appear to be going for it on 4th down....

Murray gets the 1st down but a flag is down....roughness on Wilfork is declined.

Raiders kneeling it.

Final score:

Raiders 27, Texans 20

Robbed.

[Big Texas]

This game was stolen from us from right under our noses...were there some questionable decisions...probably. but the refs screwed us on multiple critical situations.

[Keith]

This is a game O'Brien will want to forget ever happened. So many terrible executive decisions.

Namely, throwing on 3rd and goal when they were just going to kick the field goal. Terrible spots on consecutive plays... challenge on third down and kick on fourth down for the late game lead. Then punting with three minutes in the game down seven points when your defense just allowed 14 unanswered points, including a 75-yd TD reception to a FULLBACK.

If O'Brien makes just one of these late calls correctly, the team maybe wins or forces OT.

Refs sucked, turf sucked, yadda yadda... the Texans were the better team and lost because of O'Brien.

[chuck]

I don't buy the stolen bit. Yes, the refs were terrible. That happens sometimes. Our players didn't play well enough and our coaches fked up bigly, repeatedly.

BOB is in way over his head.

But as I've said, nothing will change with this shitstain of an owner. The good news is that the Colts are, what, two games back now? They'll overtake the Texans and maybe BOB will get fired. Of course, McNeck will hire someone even dumber than BOB.

This is exactly it. Yet he will never be held accountable.

The game was stolen by the officials.

But whether we are 6-4 or 7-3 really doesn't matter. This team is going nowhere. We are the Washington Generals. Our head coach just punted from mid field on 4th and medium with 1 TO and 3 minutes left. And he did this after not challenging the clearly blown call on the 3rd down spot.

He did this while coaching the broken $72 million QB he never met before our GM signed said QB. And he did it while our Owner made another $100+ million this year as his reward for hiring these idiots. And that is why our owner won't speak one word about the way we were blatantly cheated tonight.

So we'll win 8 games instead of 9 this year because of the officials' incompetence, but does that really matter when we know how our season ends either way?
