Official Texans @ Dolphins Game Thread, 9/18/2011

[Big Texas]

I blame the offense for the state we are in...

The dolphins have clearly caught on to the run...Shaub going to have to win this one...

Prove yourself...

[Arky]

Thomas for 6. 2nd and 4 coming up.

Pass to Marshall good for 4 and the 1st down.

Bush for about 6. 2nd and 4 coming up.

Wow, nice catch by Hartline for 25 yards. 1st down at the Texan 16.

Short pass to Bess inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Pass to Marshall too long, inc. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Pass in the endzone is inc. Dolphins to go for the FG.

Carpenter's 34-yarder is good.

12:57 left in the game.

[Big Texas]

Come on Shaub make something good happen...

Kubiak please don't come out with the "run right...run left...incomplete pass...punt"

[HPF Bob]

The fact that they went to Slaton tells me Foster is not coming back today. I don't know if he's reinjured or the Texans are just playing extra-cautious with him.

[Nconroe]

Let's go offense, take advantage of Mannings KR.

[Arky]

Nice return by Manning on the kickoff - Texans ball at their 37.

Dump to Tate goes for 13. Ball at midfield.

Pass to AJ gets 7. 2nd and 3 coming up.

Tate pops it for 16, 1st down.

Whoop! Deep pass to AJ complete for the TD! 23 yards!

The radio guys are puzzling over this, too. In other words, no one knows.

[Big Texas]

Yes sir...

That's how you lead Shaub...that's how you lead...

[HPF Bob]

That makes me feel a little better.

[chuck]

Apparently Jacoby hurt himself celebrating.

Mcclain tweeted that Foster has reaggravated his hamstring and is questionable...

[barrett]

I like braman from west Texas A & M dropping gates from ACU and then letting him hear about it.

Pretty sure it's the latter. 10 carries, that's it....
