Gradkowski sacked by Mario! Fumble! Texans ball! Okoye on the recovery.

This is looking like the horrible playcalling from last week. Is Kubiak only good for three good plays. Nobody is falling for the quick slant anymore. Call something else...

Damn...

Kubiak is not looking good right now.

I am not blaming anybody else but him right now...

That defense is not good...

Everyone just knows kubiak's offense right now..

Mario!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

Screen to Foster gets 16. 3 seconds left in the half. Texans to go for the FG.

46 yard attempt is no good - hit the upright.

Halftime, score remains:

Texans 14, Raiders 14

I know I am sounding pretty pessimistic right now...

But I dont care...

We look like the same team that plays to the level of talent around us...

While I am ranting...Why the hell did we draft Casey?

Is he insurance in case two tight ends get injured?

And the missed kick just adds insult to injury...

We cut the shaky kicker with range for the shaky kicker with no range.

Have I said lately that I hate Frank Bush? Well if not consider it said. Why do we sit back in vanilla defenses and let nobody's like Gradowskii look like a SB QB?

Slaton downs the 2nd half kickoff down in the endzone. Texans ball at their own 20.

Pass to KW gets about 6. 2nd and 4 coming up.

Foster busts it! 74 yard TD!

Texans 21, Raiders 14

Foster....Houstonian for TOUCHDOWN!!!

Whatever Foster did to piss Kubiak off I hope he quits doing it.

WOW ! Who knew Foster had that kind of long-speed ?

14:16 left in the 3rd quarter.

Raiders bring the kickoff back to their 20.

Gradkowski scrambles for about 6 and then is smoked by Pollard. Raiders have to punt.

DA fair catches the punt at the Texan 10.

AJ is out and JJ is questionable. Maybe we kept Foster out so he'll be rested for the second half. We may need that.

Schaub can't find anyone open and tosses it out of bounds. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Pass to KW good for 8 so Texans have to go for the FG.

35 yard attempt is good.

Texans 24, Raiders 14

2:35 left in the 3rd quarter.

Ward is either looking like a good pick up. Or the Raiders are starting to show their true colors...

We only got three points but we sure drained the clock on that drive. If we do that one more time, we'll be in good shape.
