Official Texans vs. Chiefs Wild Card Game Thread, 1/9/2016

[Big Texas]

10-0 there it is...The deficit everyone said the Texans would not be able to recover from...

[chuck]

Welp, there's your ten points.

It's the biggest game of his life and Hoyer's choking like a bitch.

[barrett]

Gruden did so much work ahead of time on how KC would plan for Watt, that now he feels he has to use it. He is showing how effectively the Chiefs have neutralized Watt even though KC has 3 possessions, 2 starting with great field possession off Houston turnovers, and they have 3 points to show for it. Great analysis Gruden.

[Big Texas]

If I were the defense I would get tired of always having try and fix Hoyers bullshit...

[barrett]

Just keep throwing to Hopkins.

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff is a touchback.

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

Texan's ball at their 20.

Hunt for no gain.

Pass to Hop gets the 1st down but flag is down.....illegal contact on the Chiefs is declined. Ball at the Texan 33.

Hoyer sacked. Loss of 7. 2nd and 17 coming up.

Checkdown to Shorts gets 5.

Pass to Washington off the mark, inc. Texans will have to punt.

Punt is brought back to the Chief 30 yard line.

[barrett]

What does it take for holding against JJ Watt? Their RB just bear hugged him for about 3 seconds with no call.

[Arky]

Pass to Maclin good for 6.

Pass to Kelce gets big gain. Ball at the Texan 39.

Ware for 1.

You're my Boy Blue!

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff is a touchback.

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

Texan's ball at their 20.

Eheh, Watt takes the handoff and loses 1. Way to lighten it up, OB...

Chiefs use a timeout. 3:53 left in the half.

Good lord, Hoyer throws the INT. Chiefs bring it back to the 20.

[barrett]

That's just depressing.

[barrett]

I thought the Watt run was absurd and uncalled for. Turns out it was our best option inside the 5.

[chuck]

OK, that's enough of this fkwit.

[Big Texas]

And you wonder why he was benched...He makes you wanna pull your damn hair out...

[chuck]

You'd have to look hard to see worse quarterback play anywhere in the league on any week of the season. This sort of nonsense in a playoff game is stupefying.

[barrett]

The NFL challenge system is so dumb. Getting a call right shouldn't come down to whether you blindly challenge a play before a hurry up snap from the other team.

[Arky]

Chief's ball at the Texan 22. 3:44 left in the half.

Smith is sacked by Merci! Loss of 4.

West for 2. 3rd and 12 coming up.

Pass to Wilson gets 19. OB to challenge that is was a catch...... Looks like a no-catch on replay....

Pass ruled incomplete. Chiefs will have to punt.

Mumph fair catches at the Texan 39.

[barrett]

There are no words for that.

[Arky]

Texan's ball officially at their 40.

Grimes for 1.

2 minute warning.

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

On 2nd and 9, Hoyer's deep pass is caught by the Chiefs. Illegal block in the back on the Chiefs backs it up.

[chuck]

Remember when we were saying that the Texans could stay in this thing if they didn't turn the ball over? Yeah. That was cute.
