Week 11: ¡Viva México! - RAIDERS vs. Houston Texans 2nd Half Open Thread and Discussion


This is the 2nd half of the Raiders' Monday Night game vs. the Texans on Monday Night Football. As usual, leave a comment below the post on your thoughts on the game.

Q4

HOU 20 OAK 27

By any means necessary. This was not a clean game. There'll be a lot of controversy surrounding that 4th down call when the Texans were in the Red Zone. I was mad when I thought they had the 4th down. But, I think the rationale was his knee was down before the runner extended on the first down mark. No question, the Texans outplayed the Raiders, but the Raiders found a way to just win baby. 8-2, alone in first place in the AFC West! Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3

HOU 17 OAK 13 

The last thing we want to see is an INT thrown. Just on the first drive this quarter, Derek Carr threw to nobody open down the middle, resulting in an INT. The Texans managed to take advantage of that off a couple of bogus P.I. calls. This was a frustrating quarter to watch. The defense has regressed or they are just getting gassed because of the altitude. Just speechless to see this offense not in sync and the Texans are currently driving to look for the kill shot in this game. Everything is clicking for them on offense.
