Official Texans @ Bucs Game Thread, 11/13/2011

[HPF Bob]

We must lead the league in tackles by kickers.

[HPF Bob]

Just want to get through the rest of the game with no injuries. If they score some points, no big deal.

Bucs kicking off from midfield.

Bucs try the onside kick but Texans recover at their 34. Texans ball.

Foster rushes on the left side for 8. 2nd and 2 coming up.

The Bucs desperately needed this game and the Texans didn't. Yet the Texans march into town and calmly beat the shit out of the home team.

This is as impressive a win as I can remember.

Kubiak penalized for throwing the red flag on the TD catch.

I hate that rule, and not just because Kubiak is clueless about when to challenge. I know they claim to review every touchdown play but I don't think they are always paying attention. I also don't like the "no red flags in the final two minutes rule" either.
