We need to run some clock this time. Hopefully, let's get one more score.

Kickoff goes out of the endzone... Texans ball at their 20.

Foster runs for 2. Brings up 2nd and 8.

Foster sweeps left for 8 and the 1st down.

Foster for no gain. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Foster gets 4. Brings up 3rd down and 6.

Ward gets about 4 so Texans have to punt. Raiders use a timeout - have 2 left. 3:12 left in the game.

Higgins brings the punt back to the Raider 25.

Why Ward rather than Foster there?

Gradkowski's 1st down pass sails inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Dump to Bush gets about 7. 3rd and 3 coming up.

Pass goes inc. but flag on the play. McCain for holding. Auto 1st down at the Raider 37.

Bush upended after a 6 yard gain. 2nd and 4 coming up.

On 2nd and 3, Gradkowski pressured throws it away.... Intentional grounding on Gradkowski. Loss of down. 3rd and 16.

Pass intended for DHB sails inc. Brings up 4th and 16. 1:52 left in the game.

Whooo.... Pass should've been caught by Murphy but it bounces off him and is INT'ed by Nolan! Ball at the Texan 41.

Nconroe · #6 10-03-2010, 06:59 PM

Nolan again, what a game saver.

Arky · #7 10-03-2010, 07:01 PM

Foster runs for a couple. 2nd and 8 coming up. 1:36 left in the game.

Foster gets about 3. Timeout Raiders - final timeout. 1:31 left.

Foster runs for 8 and gets the 1st down. Yay!

Three and one. Come on, Jags.

HPF Bob · #9 10-03-2010, 06:54 PM

Colts tie it up 28-28 w/ under a minute.

The decision to run it on 3rd down shows how much confidence the team has in Shaub...

I know its the proper thing to do, but Winners have the ball in the crunch...

You are grasping at straws here.

I agree I may have been responding based on emotions. However, it has become no secret that this offense is being fueled by Arian Foster, NOT SHAUB. This does not mean that I think Shaub is not good. I just think that the team does not trust Shaub, as much as some of the other elite QBs in the league. I love the offense.

I just know that if it were Brees, Manning, Brady, or McNabb they would have been throwing the ball.

Overall I am excited about the win and have no problem with the team riding the success of Arian.

This isn't over yet. Oakland can use timeouts.

HPF Bob · #14 10-03-2010, 07:02 PM

First down! Now, it's over.

HPF Bob · #15 10-03-2010, 07:03 PM
