Official Texans vs. Ravens Thread, 11/09/2008

[Keith]

The age of Rosencopter is upon us, at least for the next few weeks.

Noon kickoff today... in Week 2, before Ike, this was a late afternoon game.

Ian Eagle and Solomon Wilcots with the call. Most of Texas will get this game, but it looks like those in DFW, Austin, and El Paso will need to go to Plan B.

[Arky]

8 QB Matt Schaub
11 WR André Davis

Ravens kickoff. Houston goes 3 and out and has to punt.

Ravens fair catch at their own 32 yard line....

Earl Cochran with the sack on 3rd and 3. Ravens have to punt.

That's like saying she had a pretty good personality until she had her period.

She seemed like a nice girl until she pulled out the butcher knife....

[TheMatrix31]

That is so.....****************ing.....irritating.

[Arky]

Good lord. Texans decide to pass it at the 1 yard line on 1st down and ball gets tipped and intercepted.

Touchback. Ravens ball at the 20.

[Arky]

Ravens have to punt. Texans will take over about their own 15 yard line.

The Ravens are doing something I wish the Texans would do - they're throwing the deep ball.... Great way to loosen up the secondary so the underneath stuff works....

Just once?

[NBT]

Actually Ngata made a very smart and athletic move in dropping back moving over following Sage's eyes, tipping the ball up, and intercepting. Heads up play by Baltimore. Nothing else to say.

[NBT]

Have I said I hate our defensive scheming? Blown assignments, too far off the receiver, yada, yada, yada!

[Arky]

54 TD by Slaton called back on holding by OD...

----------

There it is! Deep ball to JJ. Ball at the Raven 6.

[TheMatrix31]

I love that playcall.

[Arky]

Texans settle for the FG.

Ravens 7, Texans 3

[Arky]

Texans kickoff. Ravens takeover on their own 20.

About 6:48 left in the half.

------

Big sack by Bentley. Ravens eventually have to punt.

Texans takeover about their own 3 yard line.

About 4 mins left till halftime...

[HPF Bob]

If it helps our psyche any, Texans are 3-0 when they are not being carried in Austin. Today, it's Titans-Bears up here.

[Arky]

Oy, holding on Duane Brown as Sage is passing from the endzone results in a Safety.

Texans will have to kick away from their 20 yard line.

Ravens 9, Texans 3

Ravens return the kick to their 29 yard line.

What's going on up there? Do they still think VY is playing?
