2016 Playoff Discussion

[Nge2grads]

Always happy to woot woot for Wild Card Weekend.  Raiders and Texans is a toss up game for me.  I will be cheering for Q to do well for the Lions, and I like Jim Caldwell.  No big injuries please today!

Lions. Something weird gonna happen here. Seahawks don't seem to have the same mojo..

Mobile QB that can't freely run and the absence of the best defensive player would do that for the team's mojo.

I think they still win this one.

Good start for Houston,  nice interception from Clowney helps them build to a 10-0 lead

[ravens rule]

Imagine Clowney and Watt on the field together and both healthy. Scary !

[allblackraven]

Unless Raiders O line and RBs can somehow bail out Cook, they are in a deep hole.

Raiders missing Penn

[rossihunter2]

the raiders line without donald penn looks a mess - this is almost unfair having a rookie qb's first start be in the playoffs and without the starting left tackle

either way, whichever team wins this game is just fodder for the chiefs

[52520Andrew]

Big drive for Oakland, that O-line starting to do some work

Winner here plays the Pats unless the Steelers lose to Miami's backup QB

Trawick sighting

Took me a sec to remember that he was one of the Ravens' safeties. Nice to see him doing well on the Raiders.

[TurkishRaven]

It's really hard for me to watch these games knowing that we are a better team than both. We could have done really good things this year..

[RaineV1]

That was a pretty good pass from Cook.

[RaineV1]

Crabtree out there playing like a Ravens' wide out.

[52520Andrew]

Texans trying to take advantage of the Oakland linebackers in coverage, decent success

[52520Andrew]

Nice cutback by Miller there, Houston needs this drive to flip field position

[rossihunter2]

lamar miller even on his good run there looked like he was running in quicksand - and he's supposed to be a fast back

[rossihunter2]

it is actually tragic watching the level of qb play on display here - cook is understandably struggling but osweiler is garbage

[rossihunter2]

at least tom savage is vaguely interesting - osweiler has the worst and longest release i think ive ever seen

Yeah New England is going to eat this offense alive assuming they play next week

[allblackraven]

Cook needs to get those balls up in the air to give his catchers a chance.

[RaineV1]

Nice play, Trawick.

[Cville-Raven]

lol this game is about as bad as I'd thought 

[RaineV1]

If Carr wasn't hurt, I think the Raiders definitely win. But with two bad offenses, the team with the better D will win, and that's the Texans.

[52520Andrew]

Hopkins warming up on that drive with a couple nice throws by Osweiler including a TD on the slant. 20-7 lead for Houston now

[52520Andrew]

Hudson now down for Oakland. Not looking good for them at this point.

Pretty clear hold on Mack there, probably going to see them run it down to the half now

[Adreme]

Can you say that a team that put up 20 in a half is a bad offense?

[Nge2grads]

Who is the Ravens coach that KO had trouble with?  I am glad he got his big money with the Raiders, but we will see if their offensive line plays better in the second half.  (And I just don't get how or why Trent Dilfer gets paid to be an analyst for any network,)

No, but the Texans average like 17 points a game so their bad offense is a having good first half. We'll see if this translates to the half that matters more. 

[redlobster]

I'm shocked they haven't moved KO to LT. Watson is getting destroyed
