Guys have really started pushing it with the officials the past 2 weeks. Lots of stuff dirty and late.

[Arky]

There's just way too much confusion on those out routes.

Steelers-Raiders getting chippy now. Who could have predicted that?

[Arky]

McGahee for no gain.

Dumpoff to Hillman goes for just 1. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Holliday fair catches at the Texan 27. Texans ball.

Gotta pick these balls off.

Actually, gotta score SEVEN.

[Nconroe]

Schaub and receivers doing pretty good against a good defense.

Schaub to locker room.

[chuck]

In so many ways Jean is eerily reminiscent of AJ in his first few years. I'm not saying that he is in any way AJ's equal but so often when I see Jean on the field it takes me a moment to realize that it's not AJ.

[Arky]

Pass is broken up by GQ inc. 4th and 7 coming up. Broncos will punt.

Punt goes into the endzone. Texans ball at their 20.

[barrett]

We are making manning look terrible. We are just camping on routes with no respect for his ability to stretch the field.

[chuck]

I absolutely do not understand the modern aversion to punting the ball out of bounds at the 10 or so. Why do you have to try for the improbable downing on the one when you could reliably put the ball out of bounds within the 20? Special teams coaches must be very bad at math.

LJ is making some exceptional catches every game so far. Gotta like his development for sure.
