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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

Schaub's pass goes inc. 10 seconds left. 3rd and 10 coming up.

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...

Foster....Houstonian for TOUCHDOWN!!!

[NBT]

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?

[Arky]

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

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