Best place to get a personal foul. I mean, how far can they push you back?

Whether we win or lose, we need to win the personal foul battle. We have to show we are not the pussies the bullies in this league think we are.

I think winning convinces them of that. Losing and getting stupid penalties gets you laughed at. Smith needs to push the guy before the whistle.

Arky · #15 10-16-2011, 03:47 PM

That's because Mason runs precise routes. That third down underthrow was all due to JJ who ran three yards beyond the first down marker rather than the one yard that Schaub expected.

Arky · #17 10-16-2011, 03:54 PM

Schaub can't find a receiver and throws it away. Flags on the play. Holding on Ravens (Lewis). 5 yard and an auto 1st down.

Tate gets 12. 1st down at the Raven 29.

Tate for 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

Pass to Foster gets 1. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Pass to KW gets 6... Brings up 4th and 1, Texans to go for it.

Handoff to Foster...don't think he got it. Ravens takeover on downs.

barrett · #18 10-16-2011, 03:57 PM

Refs are killing us.

Jamison with the trifecta - sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery. Cool.
