The middle of this D is soft. That bodes well for us.

Without Rankins or Onyemata it's soft, however we'll have both back by the time we play y'all at the end of November.

lmao saints fans just booing the rulebook at this point

PFT: Officials cost the Saints 15 seconds before halftime

Nah, we were booing the officials that don't know the rule book. Judging by your tenuous grasp of the rule book yourself, you'd fit right in with those inept loons.

That had to suck to carry that sign back to his hotel.

Saints fans have no idea what a bad call is. They would literally have an aneurysm if they got the BS calls we get on the regular.

You sure? We picked up on that bad call before halftime almost immediately and were right about it while the officials **** the bed again.

CMC has to be feeling a little giddy about facing the Saints twice this year seeing the success the Texans' backs are having tonight.

Nah, McCaffrey probably realizes we had a 3rd string DT in at 3-tech and knows he'll be facing Rankins in that spot come November/December.

The Texans could've waited 2 seconds to touch the downed retriever and let the clock run out. They blew it. 

Wrong, the play was over the instant Ginn went down. He didn't need to be "touched down" since he gave himself up.

Here's the link to the rule book, you may want to brush up on a few other rules while you're at it.

i would hope so. they didn’t look very good against the mighty texans.

You mean a team that just won its division and made the playoffs last year?

Pretty sure there’s a rule about “giving yourself up” where the play is called dead if the ball-carrier goes down with no intention to advance.

Finally someone that actually knows the rule.
