We have the lead but how long will it last?

My guess? Not long....

[TheMatrix31]

Would be great to get a stop-and-score here. Get the ball back at the half too..

[Big Texas]

When Foster ran the ball in, they briefly showed our secondary. Why were they all sitting there looking like we were losing. Someone needs to put some fire under these guys. They look extremely unmotivated.

I know, I know, I maybe reaching...

[Arky]

Looks like it's gonna be a wild and wooly one....

10:23 left in the half.

Sproles tackled at the Charger 21 on the kickoff.

Mathews for 2. Brings up 2nd and 8.

Hester gets about 10 on the dump pass. 1st down.

Pass to Ajirotutu good for about 14. 1st down.

Dump to Mathews good for 5. Ball at the Texan 48.

Tolbert for no gain. Brings up 3rd and 5.

Finally, pass inc. Chargers have to punt.

JJ fair catches at the Texan 9.

[Nconroe]

How about that, an incomplete pass by Rivers. A little pressure by Antonio Smith helped. We actually got a stop.

You would think constantly getting embarrassed would do the trick.

They're simply not that good. That's all the explanation there is.

[Arky]

Ya know, Ward ain't exactly chopped liver - they should be mixing him in a little methinks...

Deep pass to Casey good for 33. Nice catch.

Dump to AJ gets about 12. 1st down. Ball at the Charger 46.

Foster goes right for about 8. 2nd and 2 coming up.

[Nconroe]

Casey ought to be playing a lot more.

[Arky]

Foster for 7. Ball at the Charger 30.

Pitch to Foster gets about 12. 1st down.

Ward for 3. 2nd and 7 coming up. Ball at the Charger 16.

Pass to Casey good for 4. Makes it 3rd and 3 at the Charger 11.

2 minute warning.

[Big Texas]

Finally, some Casey sightings...

[HPF Bob]

I'd run a draw play here on 3rd and 3. They won't see it coming.

[Arky]

On 3rd and 3, Foster runs it all the way to the 4. 1st and goal Texans.

Foster for about 1 1/2. 2nd and goal.

Timeout Texans. 31 seconds left in the half.

Pass in the flat to Casey knocked down. 3rd and goal coming up.

Dump to Foster in the endzone complete for the TD but could be a no catch...... Play is under review...

[HPF Bob]

Did he break the plane with the ball. That ought to count.

[TheMatrix31]

The Calvin Johnson rule is ****************ing terrible.

[Arky]

Pass is ruled inc. Texans to go for the FG.

Rackers 21 yarder is good.

Texans 20, Chargers 14

22 seconds left in the half.

[Nconroe]

That rule needs to be changed. Seems he had possession to me anyways. used to be ground could not cause a fumble, now it is an incompletion.

[Big Texas]

That is defintely a stupid rule. He broke the plane. This wasn't a pass into the endzone...

[Arky]

Sproles brings the kickoff back to the Charger 27.

Chargers kneel it.

Halftime.
