2010 Week 2 Other Games Thread

if they were going to punt anyway, taking the delay of game was the right choice, but it didn't work out for them.

just a ridiculous choice to punt in that situation

 

washington has the same decision to make


52 yarder

shanahan sending out gano for the FG

 

Shannahan with common sense, sends FG kicker out.

 

Rackers is very shaky in pressure situations, trust me. I watched a lot of Cardinals games in recent years.

Instead of trying for a FG, they should have tried to convert on 4th down.

Or, let Schaub quick kick it. That would have been a very, very, very ballsy call, but if done correctly, Washington would have had the ball inside the 10. It's more likely Schaub would have pinned the Redskins deep than Turk would have. Not that Turk stinks or anything. It's just very difficult to not kick the ball into the end zone from where Turk punted. It's just a terrible place on the field in which to punt successfully.

 

Gano kicked it through, but Houston got the last second TO granted

 

I hate the icing the kicker play, but unfortunately the numbers support doing it.

 

Gano misses the second one badly

wide right

 

No good!!!!!

 

Well, Gano got played.

 

Boo - icing the kicker works.

 

If I'm not mistaken this would be the first 400 vs 400 yard passer shootout since Marino-Bledsoe in 1994.
McNabb has gone over 400 yards now, right? He was at 393 a while ago.

 

Dreesen with a big catch!

 

Joel Dreesen just made a huge catch for the Texans.

 

others were-
Kelly- Young, 1992
O'Brien-Marino, 1986
Fouts-Anderson, 1982

 

I credit Jeff Triplett for trying to jog to the sideline. Looks like shit, but he's got hustle.

 

aww shucks

needed 3 more yards from schaub for big bonus pts for my fantasy team

 

What a comeback for Houston!!

 

Houston 2-0.

 

Houston wins!

Rackers from 35

Shanahan didn't try and ice him

 

Shanahan doesn't try to ice Rackers and the Texans win. Too bad - Kubiak deserved to lose this game, and of course it's bad for the Jets.
