Texans vs. Chiefs post-game comments

Agree with you guys. Tasker was awful. Antonio saw the OG (I think) flinch and came across the line of scrimmage pointing at him. He has done this a few times, knowing that the defense will pick up 5 yds. I don't think he was pulled across at all, he just knows that once the OL is set, coming across the line of scrimmage by a DL guarantees a flag, one way or another.

Flowers looked like he tried a flop routine from the NBA. He initiated the contact, and when Andre resisted, he threw his hands up in the air and gave up on the play before the ball even got there. He should also have been penalized for trying to intimidate the ref long after the play was over.

What was the deal with the cameras at this game, anyway. They kept showing the same angle over and over of Andre/Flowers, and they only showed the angle from behind Bowe when it looked like the ball could have hit the ground, but was called a reception. There should have been other angles of both of those plays that were better.

Besides all that, what a game! I didn't see it live, I dvr'd it. I don't think I could have taken it. Schaub was truly special in the 4th quarter. He may very well win a Super Bowl for us one day.

Flowers mugged AJ all day. On one play he came through him early and Tasker actually said, "Even if he got there early that is a great play." On the AJ catch in question AJ just beat him plain and simple. You will never see offensive PI there since AJ doesn't extend his arm.

Tasker was maybe the most biased I've ever seen an NFL announcer. It was like listening to Herbstreit doing an Ohio State game. Terrible job from a national guy.

But I don't really care, and nobody else will care about this play a week from now either. It wasn't one where an incorrect call affected the outcome of the game (like happened in Minnesota and Denver with PI calls).

And on one of the Chiefs TDs, their RT had to wrap Mario completely around the neck to stop him after getting initially beat. I swear Mario needs coaching in how to draw a holding call. No great pass rusher gets held more without getting a call.
