[Divisional Round] Houston at Baltimore Gamethread

[Ari Gold]

ravens win 17-10

[weebo]

If the running game shows up and the d brings it, we gotta shot yallz.

[benefactor]

Stopping Ray Rice and playing mistake free offense is all that matters. Do those two things and they've got a good chance at winning.

An effective running game will =:lobt2:

[shyne]

Yates cannot turn the ball over period! Foster is going to have to bring it again, and Tate will need to help him wear the front line down. Take some deep shots with Dre and see what happens.

I think the D can make Flacco fuck up and turn the ball over, we get some turnovers we have a shot.

[InRareForm]

Key to this game, score first, bring the pressure to flacco all game.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Key to this game, score first.

Yup, and if not then at least keep it within one possession. If Baltimore jumps out to a 14-17 point lead then Yates will leave on a stretcher.

[BUMP]

I think we all know Baltimore will win somehow.

I think it will be kind of close throughout but it will get out of hand in the end.

34-10 Baltimore

[benefactor]

That wouldn't be surprising. Houston gets behind like 20-10 late in the third quarter and starts trying to force the issue on offense leading to a couple of turnovers that wind up resulting in TD's for Baltimore.

As far as an actual prediction goes...I think the stage winds up being a little too big for Yates and he can't manufacture enough in the passing game to win.

20-13 Baltimore.

[Kai]

I agree that we can't get into a situation where Yates needs to put the game on his shoulders. If we get out to an early lead or if the game is close enough in the end to keep a nice run/pass balance, we have a real shot.

[djohn2oo8]

We may not win but I hope we at least give them a damn good game to shut all these fuckers up who say we might as well not show up. What pisses me off the most is Baltimore gets a pass for being as inconsistent as they are. If they win, then I hope New England skullfucks the shit outta them and their dragqueen quarterback.

Says the guy that claimed Yates wouldn't win a playoff game?

Your opinions mean nothing.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Even during the Texans game last week Weebo was butthurt Delhomme wasn't playing.

[Spurs da champs]

I can see Houston winning, Flacco cannot be trusted.

[weebo]

Says the guy that claimed Yates wouldn't win a playoff game?

front running ho...only shows up when the mighty Yates goes 11/20 and 159 yds in a playoff win .....where u at when yates was losing three straight :lmao

I'm the last person anyone can call a front running fan.

How's Delhomme looking these days?

[gameFACE]

Too easy to say this is the end of the road for the Texans. I like an upset.

Texans win 23-20

[LnGrrrR]

I would like an upset too.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Game time.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Well Houston scored first. Brooks Reed needs to do work in this game tbh.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Flacco, baby.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Dipshit.

[Bill_Brasky]

Jacoby Jones is so fucking stupid.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Jones is a retard.

[Dr. Gonzo]

He better not return another punt today.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Let Manning handle it. He should be cut as soon as the game is over.

[Dr. Gonzo]

His children should be taken from him and put in foster care.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Can't make those types of mistakes on the road.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Don't think Boldin got that second foot down.

[Dr. Gonzo]

He had both toes touching when he first caught it. I don't think that would have won a challenge.

Kareem Jackson sucks.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Don't worry.

Flacco is going to give one or two passes away.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

lol

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Throw in the Cajun.

Yates is locking on to AJ.

[weebo]

the only way we get back in this one is by running the ball...its pretty obvious now this game is no place for a third string fifth round rookie qb

[LakerHater]

17-3...... DAMn!

[LakerHater]

17-6

[weebo]

come on d make something happen dont fux this up

[LakerHater]

3rd dwn stop!

[weebo]

cant win if you keep beating yourself dayummmm

[LakerHater]

In all the way!

[Bill_Brasky]

What a dumb challenge. Even if he wins it he saves what, like 5 yards?

[weebo]

What a dumb challenge. Even if he wins it he saves what, like 5 yards?

panic move tbh

[LakerHater]

nice 3rd dwn conversion!

[LakerHater]

HAM run!

[weebo]

wut is yates doing?????

[LakerHater]

Almost a stupid mistake by TJ Yates!

[LakerHater]

What a catch!!!!

[resistanze]

WoW Foster

[Pelicans78]

Yates is looking like Delhomme out there. Just give the ball to Foster.

[LakerHater]

DAMN.. 1 yrd line!

[InTheCrust]

always hated that little dipshit arian foster.... me being a colts fan and all. clutching it though in the big time.

[Bill_Brasky]

Foster puttin the team on his back tbh

[weebo]

its the arian show bishes

[LakerHater]

td

[LakerHater]

Damn 1st dwn

[benefactor]

Foster is beasting. Mistakes are the difference right now. Hang in there fellas.

[LakerHater]

What a fuckin catch... on great coverage!

[InTheCrust]

wow... what a grab

[weebo]

:lmao kj cant catch a break ...even when he plays good d he still gets burned

[LakerHater]

2 mins!

[LakerHater]

No GAIN!

[LakerHater]

Good D Jackson!

Probably coulda caught that!

[LakerHater]

Good sack!

[LakerHater]

WOOOW, whata save!



...Hes on the line!!!!!

[benefactor]

Coming out to the 20

[LakerHater]

Havnt hear Alice in Chain in forever!

[benefactor]

Damn I love this defense. They have really saved this teams ass this half. HAVE to play mistake free football in the second.

[LakerHater]

WTF, Not even gonna try??!!?

[benefactor]

Oh yeah...that Arian Foster guy is pretty good too.

[benefactor]

WTF, Not even gonna try??!!?
Its a huge victory to be within 4 with all the mistakes. No reason to try anything unnecessary.

[gameFACE]

No shit. I'll take it at the half.

[LakerHater]

Who gets the ball?

[HarlemHeat37]

That Jones fumble was painful, what an idiot..

[benefactor]

Yates needs to stop forcing throws. He had a couple of ints dropped because he was trying to take something that just was not there. Take what is given and throw it away. Punt the ball and rely on your defense.

[LakerHater]

Damn Jones!

[DPG21920]

Foster has just had an amazing year. I was skeptical about his ability after such a great year last year and coming off the injury, but wow the guy is special.

[LakerHater]

3 & out!!!

[LakerHater]

bottled up!!

[LakerHater]

jj Watt!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Watt is such a fucking beast, god damn, tbh..

[LakerHater]

Damn D, that was almost a huge gain!!

[LakerHater]

Nice Job!!!

[LakerHater]

wayta hold onto the ball Walter!!!

[LakerHater]

50 yrder?!?!?!

[LakerHater]

Not enough leg!!!! :bang

[benefactor]

Damn...I walked away from the TV thinking he had that. Turned around in the kitchen to see that he had missed. Dammit.

[LakerHater]

Texans need a TO

[LakerHater]

Damn, that might be HUGE!!

[LakerHater]

DAMMIT, that coulda been the TO Texans needed!!!!

[Dr. Gonzo]

The ball is just bouncing Baltimore's way.

[weebo]

watch out for the sneak

[LakerHater]

watch out for the sneak
Yup

[Dr. Gonzo]

Great fucking stop!

[LakerHater]

Stopped his ass!!!!

[weebo]

ya baby!!

[benefactor]

Det defense tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Dobbins just changed the game..

[LakerHater]

Might be the turning point!!!

[Bill_Brasky]

That was a hell of a stop....

[LakerHater]

Damn!

[LakerHater]

Gotta get that 1st dwn!

[LakerHater]

GotDAMMIT!!

[benefactor]

Regardless of the three and out...it's a victory. Points off the board>>>Baltimore getting good field position.

[LakerHater]

OOOO, whata snuff that!!

[benefactor]

Perfect read. Went to the well one too many times.

[LakerHater]

3rd dwn stop!!

[benefactor]

I love this defense.

[LakerHater]

C'mon Jacoby!

[benefactor]

Back on the 20. Huge turn of events with two big stops.

[LakerHater]

Turk helpin out Jones!

[weebo]

we need a drive and a td here

[Dr. Gonzo]

It looks like they have been setting up an end around throughout the game.

[LakerHater]

Put sum arm in Yates!!

[weebo]

helmet to helmet hit no call

[LakerHater]

Damn, head shot!

edit: Big Hit!

[LakerHater]

Punt! :bang

[weebo]

defense!!!

[LakerHater]

Sacked

[LakerHater]

C'mon Jacoby MAN!

[Dr. Gonzo]

Jacoby is useless.

[LakerHater]

Nice, Yates!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Joe Flacco is nothing but filth and excrement

[LakerHater]

They were in run D, Yates ya gotta recognize that!!

[weebo]

jones finally does something right

[LakerHater]

The best thing Jacoby jones has done all day!!!

[LakerHater]

Can Yates read D at all!?!?!?!?

[Dr. Gonzo]

Fuck.

[LakerHater]

1 Guy over & 1 guy under... C'MON Yates!!

[LakerHater]

1 Guy over & 1 guy under... C'MON Yates!!

Ya might cost the Texans the season!

[weebo]

Fuck.

:lmao

[Pelicans78]

Kareem Jackson sucks.

[LakerHater]

Game Over!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Win or lose, you gotta give the Texans props today. They've outplayed Baltimore...Arian Foster is a fucking BEAST

[Dr. Gonzo]

:lmao

Delhomme wouldn't have done better.

[benefactor]

I figured mistakes would dictate this game and they did. Barring a huge defensive play it's over. Yates has made mistakes but overall I tip my cap to the kid. He's played admirably for a rookie.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Cam Cameron is an abortion

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's still a game b/c the ambiguously gay duo of Cam and Joey are mongoloids

[benefactor]

One possession left. Yates has a chance to do something historic. Go and do it, young man.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Cam Cameron is an abortion
:cry but he made Ladanian Tomlinson :cry

[benefactor]

By the way...in my drunken state I'd like to say I wouldn't want to spend this game anywhere else. I love this place.

Fuck the Colts
Fuck the Cowboys
Fuck the Titans

Houston football is back bitches.

[LakerHater]

That was a high neck tackle!

[benefactor]

Knees were down before the fumble.

[LakerHater]

Fumble!

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Jeez that was close. I can't believe Houston is still in this game.

[Dr. Gonzo]

By the way...in my drunken state I'd like to say I wouldn't want to spend this game anywhere else. I love this place.

Fuck the Colts
Fuck the Cowboys
Fuck the Titans

:toast

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

It also looked like he was face masked before the fumble.

[weebo]

down before the fumble

[resistanze]

Terrible

[benefactor]

Eh...not surprising.

[Pelicans78]

He threw the ball too late. Way too late. But it was still a bad decision.

[LakerHater]

Yates you stupid motherfucker, can you see 1 guy over 1 guy under.... READ THE FUCKIN D!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Ed Reed....from...........

The U!

[4>0rings]

:lmao

You knew Texans weren't for real. First real team they played and lost.

[benefactor]

Yates is a kid who's played like one. I think he has a bright future in this league as most of his mistakes have been ones that rookies tend to make. I hope Houston keeps him and grooms him to be the one to take over eventually.

[weebo]

16 for 25...3 int (could've been 5)...shitty qb play throughout the game you homos defend that shit now

[LakerHater]

Thats the GAME!

[Pelicans78]

Tough break for the Texans losing Schaub. They may have had HFA throughout if he stayed healthy. Definitely a bye/2nd seed.

[LakerHater]

He'll be good trade bait!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Baltimore is lucky to escape this game...their offense was beyond pathetic

[benefactor]

He'll be good trade bait!
That's another possibility. Texans need a #2 WR badly. We'll see what happens going forwards.

[LakerHater]

Im pretty sure a few Ravens fans will pop up on this board after this win!

[benefactor]

16 for 25...3 int (could've been 5)...shitty qb play throughout the game you homos defend that shit now
It wouldn't even have been close if Delhomme was under center.

[Pelicans78]

Baltimore is lucky to escape this game...their offense was beyond pathetic

To be fair, the Texans have a phenomenal defense. Much more compared to the team they will play next week. They actually matchup decently with the Pats.

[LakerHater]

Still charged Hou a timeout?

[Pelicans78]

Oh look, Yates has a chance to throw one more pick.

[LakerHater]

DiD they STOP'em!!????

[Pelicans78]

Still charged Hou a timeout?

Yeah, cause Houston called it after the play.

[LakerHater]

Jacoby's last chance!

[benefactor]

Well...here we go. Make good decisions kid.

[LakerHater]

How many chance ya gonna get Rook!?

[LakerHater]

C'mon Yates!

[Pelicans78]

Jacoby Jones got mugged on that play LOL

[resistanze]

Well Reed's season is over.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Ed Reed is unreal

[LakerHater]

Well... even after losing your starting QB, GREAT season Houston!!!

[Pelicans78]

Well, if Reed is out next week, then the Pats will win big.

[weebo]

It wouldn't even have been close if Delhomme was under center.

dont really care much for delhomme...texans needed an experienced quarterback today not a third string fifth round rookie quarterback....i wouldnt be surprised is kubiak is heavily criticized for it

[benefactor]

Well... even after losing your starting QB, GREAT season Houston!!!
:toast

Been a long time coming.

[Pelicans78]

dont really care much for delhomme...texans needed an experienced quarterback today not a third string fifth round rookie quarterback....i wouldnt be surprised is kubiak is heavily criticized for it

He won't get criticized for it. He was playing with house money once Schaub and Leinart were injured.

[benefactor]

dont really care much for delhomme...texans needed an experienced quarterback today not a third string fifth round rookie quarterback....i wouldnt be surprised is kubiak is heavily criticized for it
And who would that experienced QB be? Garcia:lol?

[DJ Mbenga]

Baltimore is lucky to escape this game...their offense was beyond pathetic

Texans defense is that good. They'll be better against the pats.

[weebo]

He won't get criticized for it. He was playing with house money once Schaub and Leinart were injured.

he just might...putting it on a 24 yr old rook was too much to ask for..when opportunity knocks you have to answer...we got lucky the colts were shitty this year...the titans had a new coach and the jags had a rookie qb...

[weebo]

And who would that experienced QB be? Garcia:lol?

anyone better than yates brah

[benefactor]

You're a faggot brah

[weebo]

You're a faggot brah

fuck you too you bald headed pos

[gameFACE]

Rookie mistakes. Not bad overall considering the injuries. At least Yates didn't get the shit beat out of him like the Tebows.

Texans will be in the AFC championship next year. Bet on it.

[DeadlyDynasty]

You're a faggot brah

[BUMP]

i don't see how anybody can think Yates played well. 4 interceptions? Am I missing something?

[djohn2oo8]

i don't see how anybody can think Yates played well. 4 interceptions? Am I missing something?

He didn't. Jacoby Jones's fumble is what sealed it.

[Pelicans78]

he just might...putting it on a 24 yr old rook was too much to ask for..when opportunity knocks you have to answer...we got lucky the colts were shitty this year...the titans had a new coach and the jags had a rookie qb...

And the rest of the AFC were lucky Schaub got hurt. These things happen. Texans weren't expected to advance far anyway. I doubt Garcia would have made a difference or Delhomme. Its possible, but not likely. Those guys were street FAs for a reason.

[Dr. Gonzo]

He didn't. Jacoby Jones's fumble is what sealed it.

Also his inability to do anything but run from sideline to sideline without gaining a single yard. I've never been a Jacoby fan and I'm even less of one now.

[InRareForm]

Great season for Texans given the injuries.

Yates made his mistakes... he had all day today with the O-line playing Great. His misreads were bad! But I still think their is promise for the young dude. We win this game by 10-17 if schaubb was in, he would have drove the ball easily with the amount of time he had in pocket.

Lost by 7 and had 4 turnovers on the road... wow.. so many chances.. but fuck it we will be back next year.

Kareem played GOOD today! Lot of those catches were just perfectly thrown balls by Flacco. Nothing you can do.

Jacoby needs to go.

[lefty]

CROFL Texans

[InRareForm]

CROFL Texans

not really worthy of a CROFL.

if schaub was playing then yes and a healthy Mario as well...

Every win was a bonus once we had a rookie QB at the helm.
