Following yesterday's big noon kickoff, the Texans took on the Bills in a very anticipated Sunday matchup that went the distance to determine a victor just before rolling into the overtime period. As the two powerhouses of the AFC take a jab at each other this early in the season, the Texans squeeze away a victory over Josh Allen and the Bills as Ka'imi Fairbairn seals the win in the final seconds of the game with a fifty-nine yard successful field goal attempt to put the Texans over with less than ten seconds remaining. With Nico Collins exiting the game early and looks to be day-to-day going forward, the guys breakdown the Texans epic win this Sunday as well with a few key takeaways from their showdown against Allen and the Bills.

Saulsby. Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sewan Salisbury, the usc Truth, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Bryan Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sewan Salisbury show.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Texans grind out of win yesterday with a Kaimi fair
baron fifty nine yard field goal as time expired and
baseball had some exciting playoffs. It's crazy what happens when
you score runs in the playoffs for Major League Baseball wild.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Sure Is Padre has proved that last night, right, six
home runs they hit?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, double hung double digits on him. I know we'll
get to that talk. Baseball can't bury the lead. There
are some really really at times clueless play calling going
on in this league.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
What were the Buffalo Bill's doing?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What were the Buffalo Bills of Cincinnati Bengals, and quite
frankly the Texans on the final drive? What were they thinking?
Drop back drive? You were already in field goal range,
You almost you almost crush yourself. Then you drop back
get an intentional grounding after what a turnover the series before? Whatever?
It was a pick by by Stroud? Was it the
(01:21):
Stroud or is that the pick of the fumble? Right?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Pick?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah? But I'm baffled. It all you had to do.
It's it's it's odd. There's situations and situational football and
when you need it.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I personally, when.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I got that field goal kicker, if you're going to
throw it, just get it out quick and throw quick.
I mean quick game, get it out hand, the ball
off hand, the ball off go kick a field goal
fifties automatic for him, as was proven by the end
of the game.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I didn't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
There's some the second half, third, fourth quarter, in specific,
the second half they were they I don't know if
they let their foot off the gash or what have you,
because they dominated dominating yards. I mean Buffalo was like
four for what thirteen or fifth fifteen on third down
and then they get the fourth and fourth down, get
the first down, guy goes to the house. It just
(02:09):
but I was a little baffled by the end of
the game and the fourth go of the way. The
Texans went about their business offensively, and then they had
no penalties. Hell for a half, it felt like, and
then they started to get a little way word in
the second half, right, and then you look at Buffaloe.
You can't be any dumber than that. That that's one
(02:29):
of the most low IQ three play calls. I didn't
mean you have to run it every time, but every
single I mean it took sixteen seconds.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You gave him, You gave him. No you could have.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And if they were were going to call timeouts, me
and the Texans, they'll run, they'll run off the clock
and then you pint it and maybe there's there you
get out. You know, run the ball a few times,
and if you want to run a quick game or
a slant, fine, but dropping back first off, you're taking
the risk.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You would have lost it on a safety dropping back
holding it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I mean, and I know the ball came out quick,
but there was They had no chance on any of
the throws. I didn't get it. And it goes even
to the Minnesota Jets game. Fourth down and two, they
throw a go route on the outside of fade. Sam
Darnold does, and I'm like, move the chains less. It's
a stone cold lock. You don't try to throw that
in there. But Buffalo's play calling. Who knows how the
(03:18):
result would have been, But you gave yourself no shot.
It was almost as if they wanted to go home.
It was weird. I'm telling you, you will not. They
call themselves experts a lot of times, and that they
those guys make elementary school mistakes too. And then in Cincinnatio,
you're playing for a fifty three yard field goal instead
(03:42):
of burrows like thirty to thirty nine on the day,
five touchdowns, and you're don't at least put into his
hands on a slant or a hitch route to get
it to forty nine yards. They just decided hang a
hand off, hand a hand off, and then the holder
muffs the snap and lays it right on the ground.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yep, and they got no shot. Ball game over after
Lamar Jackson fumble, Una.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Took his hand, eyes off the ball to look at coverage.
A gift the win, Well, there was gifts. Buffalo completely
gifted a great field goal kicker. They gave the Texans
a football game. It didn't you didn't need to do anything.
Ball game over Cincinnati's coordinator and play calling a gift
of Baltimore after Baltimore handed you one to win the game.
(04:26):
What are you doing when did we get to a
point where we say fifty three yardfield goals automatic? I
don't know, man, After the way that the way your
quarterback played throughout the day had been baffling to me.
It's up and down the league, man, it's up and
down the league. The forty nine ers laying a dollon
down after they have a huge, a thirteen point lead
over of Arizona. Aaron Rodgers looked like a pedestrian quarterback.
(04:50):
Three picks yesterday were rookies. They were all three bad picks.
There was one, I think it was the second one.
He had a checkdown guy right in front of him.
Tried to force the ball. The read simple they ran.
They ran a slot bender.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Too deep. It's the Mike linebacker.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
If Mike gets underneath it and gets too much depth
and you've got to force it. That's what he did,
got too much depth, and Rogers sees if I got
to throw it a little put a little more loop
on it, a little more speed, bump on it. So
he misses high in the free safety and too deep
sitting back there, hits him right in the chest instead
of the Rogers. The Rogers I know would have didn't
like it. Oh, no big deal. Were throw the check down,
(05:29):
you would have got as many yards as you would
have where the ball would have been caught anyway, because
the Mike linebacker has to come and make the play,
doesn't make the plane until it's fifteen twenty yards down the field.
I mean, I'm going up and down the league, dude,
and I'm I'm baffled. Tell me that even though the
Colts lost, tell me they're not better with Joe Flacker,
they are far better touchdowns. I mean, you start to
(05:50):
look around the league. It's crazy. And Jacksonville saved their
coaches nonsense for a week. I mean, I'm going up
and down thinking, you do You're not calling these plays?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Are you? You're not really doing this?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And hell, the big play by Buffalo to get on
the fourth down and going for it. And then if
Josh Allen Josh Allen's nine to thirty yesterday, Yeah if
he I mean he has one down down the right
sideline for a stone cold touchdown and missed him. It
was yesterday and Saturday were two of the oddest. I mean,
it was weird. I'm like, what are you coordinators looking, Buffalo?
(06:25):
I swear when the ball's punted and they got it
down there, I'm thinking right now, I'm thinking, normally, I'm
an aggressive guy. If that ball's at the thirty drop
back and throw it, and then you punt down to
their twenty and they're not going to get a chance
to get a field goal.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I have no problem.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
But when that ball is backed up, I'm thinking, Okay,
you've played a quite frankly, a very average offensive game
and the quarterback was not good yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Just get the game over.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Give yourself a little leeway so he's not punting where
his heels are on the back of the inline, and
punt it. Get it down to the thirty five, Just
play defense, make them get one ball game over.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean to overtime and you, I mean, I'm like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It was before they got the series, like down there
and then Robert Woods, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
What are you doing? He's my trojan and I love him.
Two times he caught the ball at the two and
a half yard line on a tunt. Now, who's teaching
this crap?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
They just made a change because Steven Simms couldn't catch
the foe. Who is teaching this?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
The oldest rule in special teams in the history of
special teams is and let now I'm gonna tell you this.
I'll be honest with you. If your coach, I'm not
saying he is. If a coach is teaching a guy
when your heels are planet at ten, that balls down
to two, you go back and catch it and try
to make a play at the end of a game,
I get it. If a coach is teaching that, that
coach is not any good. And I know the special
(07:44):
Team's coach. Here's good Frank Ross. Yes, he's one of
the better ones in the league.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
There's no way you can be teaching that. And if
you are, the common sense of it, your heels are
planet at ten. If the ball goes over your head,
you let it go. Even if the guy makes a
great pun it bounces out at the two yard line.
You made the catch, and the one before you were
able to make a few yards after it's you cannot
do it.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Even the broadcasters, what are you doing? He's just gonna
say I and Eagle and Charles Davis like, what's he doing?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And he's been in the league forty years? What are
you doing? And I love Robert Woods.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I do. You just can't do that. Could have put
your team in a bond.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You lay, the ball hits you all that, you get discombobulated.
You just don't do it. The odds are they're not
gonna down it at the one. Normally, when the ball
is over your head and your feet are planet at
ten happened twice. You get guys like Deshaun Watson walking
off that. Deshaun Watson's a hack. Okay, just putting. This
guy's gotten worse every year, and coupled with who he is,
(08:44):
aren't you glad he's not in this city and Cleveland, Hell,
you can. You can line up Joe sixpack and Harry
Hatchett has to give you what he's given you in Cleveland.
I mean, he he is just his game is pathetic,
and his effort and is the way he goes about
is it's just pathetic.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Everything he does, he's stealing money.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What he's doing complete legalized theft for that guy. So
I up and down the league and once again and
Darnold doesn't play well, but they do enough to win
the game. Right Aaron Rodgers gifted that one to him.
You could you know how Aaron gets frustrated other players?
I got news for you. Those three throws were, like
we talked about, were on him. Their defense played well
enough to win. So in this defense, you know, again
(09:29):
they get gashed for what a buck fifty in the
ground yep. And therefore you know they're doing just enough
running the ball the last couple of weeks to stay alive.
And Stroud's unflappable. He made mistakes that would have will
you know, the fumble and then the pick and then
the the intentional grounding that would have made a lot
of players will I'm just telling you the dude is.
The dude's different man his game yesterday. And there's still
(09:50):
a lot of things to like about the Detexans, and
there's some things to dislike. Cut down on penalty some yesterday,
and they're really resilient in closing games. Their defense played
a fantastic game, except in the run game yesterday, they
made Josh Allen work for every friggin throw.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, Buffalo twenty eight carries one hundred and fifty yards,
so over five yards of carries too much, way too much.
And they got away with it. They got and they
got to win because Josh Allen was not very good
nine of thirty, nine of thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Their lack of their lack of weapons showed offensively on
the perimeter yesterday. A wide receiver, but also Josh Allen
just was not. It was the worst start of his
career since he'd been in the NFL. Yesterday was the
worst start he's ever had. I mean I'm talking about
at the beginning of again, not just the start at quarterback,
but like the first half, first quarter, his worst passing
(10:39):
start that he's ever had. And he was not good yesterday.
Thank goodness, have played like Stroud. The even in Buffalo
runs for the ball game's over. But the one thing
you can't overlook is they're four and one and they
still have not played their best game yet. No, but
the quarterback seems to do something special every single week.
And the great ones overc what he did the other
(11:01):
the mere Mortals don't. The dude is fantastic. But Buffalo,
Buffalo gave their field goal kicker. I don't know why
anything inside of sixty yards. If you're playing against the Texans,
you're an idiot for giving him that chance. If you're
going to just play for that and Cincinnati Bengals, I'm
telling you what what Buffalo did is one of those
where you call the head coach in and then the
(11:21):
coordinator Joe Brady, and say, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What are we doing? Yeah? What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And if you're Cincinnati, I don't know how you how
you can quarterback has one of those days. And Lamar
Jackson's pretty specially the scramble and throw for a touchdown
was after he dropped the ball. Yeah, he was five total. Yeah, phenomena.
And then two quarterbacks in that game had great games. Yeah,
But I'm just I'm just fascinated how I mean, I
can get an amateur. So when the games at that point,
(11:50):
you're thinking, Okay, their field goal kicker is that good?
We got to make it as miserable as we can
on it. And that's not throwing go routes backed up
so the ball bounces when they know to prevent you
from pushing the ball down.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
The field, Let's throw the football a couple of times,
stop the clock each time because the ball hits the turf.
I mean, we're still backed up in our own two Yeah. Well,
just just dumb. It's just it's just dumb.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
And and plus the game your quarterback was having. My
suggestion is you'd play for overtime, hope you win the
toss and have your best drive of the day and
get out it n RG. But they didn't, and the
Texans fought and fought and fought, you know, blew a lead,
but also hung in there when they needed to. And
the quarterback just continues to make throws and he made
a couple of throws again yesterday. You're like, this dude
(12:34):
is really frigging good. And I know people say, well,
if we had Nico would have been worse. Well, I
can go around the league if if the forty nine
ers had their guys, if everybody's got somebody hurting right now,
so you do no excuses, you overcome and take care
of your business. And that's exactly what the Texans did
without an excuse. And I loved it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, and you only fail when you stop trying. Yeah. Nice, nice,
love the motivational speaking man.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But if you're also, if you're and Denico on that tea,
aren't you saying thank you for the gift. Yeah, at
the end of a game on a poor quarterback day,
But what are you doing throwing the ball like that?
I'm figure, okay, they're going to get in the gun
and hand it off like an inside draw or just
a quick inside hitter. And I'm saying, what are you doing?
It's like we're tired. It was thirty yard line, okay,
(13:21):
backed up. It was just stupid and Kimi do, was
there any doubt in your mind he was making that
so when they when they got it, No, there was
no doubt. I thought he was gonna try to bang
it in from sixty two and I was like, this,
dude's about they hit a sixty two yard to win it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And boom knocks it in from fifty nine, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Or yeah, when they did the calculation, I was like, oh,
it's only a fifty nine Okay, Yeah, he's definitely got
this one.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And I didn't understand and Bobby Slokes have to rethink it.
When you got that kicker, they didn't need to make
a special play. And then they got and they almost
gifted the Buffalo Bills a game by doing what they
did and then the intentional grounding moving back take him
out of field, go Rino. My gut was like, you
know what, they're gonna shank this punt and then all
of a sudden, Allen's going to make two throws and
(14:02):
they're going to be in position to kick a field goal.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well, when they backed him up on a great punt,
then and there you play for overtime. In that situation,
you just have to I thought for sure they were
just going to play for overtime. And they threw it once.
I was like, hmm, that's a little interesting. And they
threw it again, and then they threw it again. Each
time the clocks stopped, Like, what in the hell are
they doing? You run an inside, you run a little
screen or a little you know, a slant, or you
hand the ball off and he gets twenty five yards.
(14:25):
Now go ahead and go up and clock it and
then take your chances and push the ball down the
field a little bit. Not back there with the way
you've played and knowing who the field goal kicker is
on the other team. Just idiotic. It's dumb play Its
completely low IQ football. Yes, it's a dumb play card.
And it was all over the league and then on Saturday, Yeah,
what the hell was going on in college football? But
Nick Saban said, there's one place that you don't have
(14:47):
to really worry about going in that you know, basically
I'm paraphrasing talking about the one place not loud that
you don't have to worry about going playing on the road. Yeah,
Vanderbilderfield ask Alabama how that one feels.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, they carried the goalposts all the way down a
broadway and then threw it in the river.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Three miles of carry and I'm I'm glad the police
went got it out for obvious reasons. But good on them, man.
Yeah that that. You know how long it's been since
that's happened for them? Yeah, I can only imagine.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Good for them. Insane.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We got a lot to break down when it comes
to a big football weekend, especially the Texans. Nico Collins
went out, but the offense was able to get enough
done for the Texans. We'll discuss the next right here
on Sports Talk seveninety
Saulsby. Okay, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sewan Salisbury, the usc Truth, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

get to that talk. Baseball can't bury the lead. There

Speaker 1 (00:57):
What were the Buffalo Bill's doing?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What were the Buffalo Bills of Cincinnati Bengals, and quite
frankly the Texans on the final drive? What were they thinking?
Drop back drive? You were already in field goal range,

(01:21):
Stroud or is that the pick of the fumble? Right?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Pick?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah? But I'm baffled. It all you had to do.
It's it's it's odd. There's situations and situational football and
when you need it.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I personally, when.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I got that field goal kicker, if you're going to
throw it, just get it out quick and throw quick.
I mean quick game, get it out hand, the ball

(03:18):
result would have been, But you gave yourself no shot.
It was almost as if they wanted to go home.

A gift the win, Well, there was gifts. Buffalo completely

and down thinking, you do You're not calling these plays?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Are you? You're not really doing this?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And hell, the big play by Buffalo to get on
the fourth down and going for it. And then if
Josh Allen Josh Allen's nine to thirty yesterday, Yeah if
he I mean he has one down down the right
sideline for a stone cold touchdown and missed him. It
was yesterday and Saturday were two of the oddest. I mean,
it was weird. I'm like, what are you coordinators looking, Buffalo?
(06:25):

and the quarterback was not good yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Just get the game over.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Give yourself a little leeway so he's not punting where
his heels are on the back of the inline, and
punt it. Get it down to the thirty five, Just
play defense, make them get one ball game over.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean to overtime and you, I mean, I'm like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It was before they got the series, like down there
and then Robert Woods, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
What are you doing? He's my trojan and I love him.
Two times he caught the ball at the two and
a half yard line on a tunt. Now, who's teaching
this crap?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
They just made a change because Steven Simms couldn't catch
the foe. Who is teaching this?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
The oldest rule in special teams in the history of
special teams is and let now I'm gonna tell you this.
I'll be honest with you. If your coach, I'm not
saying he is. If a coach is teaching a guy
when your heels are planet at ten, that balls down
to two, you go back and catch it and try
to make a play at the end of a game,
I get it. If a coach is teaching that, that
coach is not any good. And I know the special
(07:44):
Team's coach. Here's good Frank Ross. Yes, he's one of
the better ones in the league.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
There's no way you can be teaching that. And if
you are, the common sense of it, your heels are
planet at ten. If the ball goes over your head,
you let it go. Even if the guy makes a
great pun it bounces out at the two yard line.
You made the catch, and the one before you were
able to make a few yards after it's you cannot
do it.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Even the broadcasters, what are you doing? He's just gonna
say I and Eagle and Charles Davis like, what's he doing?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And he's been in the league forty years? What are
you doing? And I love Robert Woods.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I do. You just can't do that. Could have put
your team in a bond.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You lay, the ball hits you all that, you get discombobulated.
You just don't do it. The odds are they're not
gonna down it at the one. Normally, when the ball
is over your head and your feet are planet at
ten happened twice. You get guys like Deshaun Watson walking
off that. Deshaun Watson's a hack. Okay, just putting. This
guy's gotten worse every year, and coupled with who he is,
(08:44):
aren't you glad he's not in this city and Cleveland, Hell,
you can. You can line up Joe sixpack and Harry
Hatchett has to give you what he's given you in Cleveland.
I mean, he he is just his game is pathetic,
and his effort and is the way he goes about
is it's just pathetic.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Everything he does, he's stealing money.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What he's doing complete legalized theft for that guy. So
I up and down the league and once again and
Darnold doesn't play well, but they do enough to win
the game. Right Aaron Rodgers gifted that one to him.
You could you know how Aaron gets frustrated other players?
I got news for you. Those three throws were, like
we talked about, were on him. Their defense played well
enough to win. So in this defense, you know, again
(09:29):
they get gashed for what a buck fifty in the
ground yep. And therefore you know they're doing just enough
running the ball the last couple of weeks to stay alive.
And Stroud's unflappable. He made mistakes that would have will
you know, the fumble and then the pick and then
the the intentional grounding that would have made a lot
of players will I'm just telling you the dude is.
The dude's different man his game yesterday. And there's still
(09:50):
a lot of things to like about the Detexans, and
there's some things to dislike. Cut down on penalty some yesterday,
and they're really resilient in closing games. Their defense played
a fantastic game, except in the run game yesterday, they
made Josh Allen work for every friggin throw.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, Buffalo twenty eight carries one hundred and fifty yards,
so over five yards of carries too much, way too much.
And they got away with it. They got and they
got to win because Josh Allen was not very good
nine of thirty, nine of thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Their lack of their lack of weapons showed offensively on
the perimeter yesterday. A wide receiver, but also Josh Allen
just was not. It was the worst start of his
career since he'd been in the NFL. Yesterday was the
worst start he's ever had. I mean I'm talking about
at the beginning of again, not just the start at quarterback,
but like the first half, first quarter, his worst passing
(10:39):
start that he's ever had. And he was not good yesterday.
Thank goodness, have played like Stroud. The even in Buffalo
runs for the ball game's over. But the one thing
you can't overlook is they're four and one and they
still have not played their best game yet. No, but
the quarterback seems to do something special every single week.
And the great ones overc what he did the other
(11:01):
the mere Mortals don't. The dude is fantastic. But Buffalo,
Buffalo gave their field goal kicker. I don't know why
anything inside of sixty yards. If you're playing against the Texans,
you're an idiot for giving him that chance. If you're
going to just play for that and Cincinnati Bengals, I'm
telling you what what Buffalo did is one of those
where you call the head coach in and then the
(11:21):
coordinator Joe Brady, and say, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What are we doing? Yeah? What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And if you're Cincinnati, I don't know how you how
you can quarterback has one of those days. And Lamar
Jackson's pretty specially the scramble and throw for a touchdown
was after he dropped the ball. Yeah, he was five total. Yeah, phenomena.
And then two quarterbacks in that game had great games. Yeah,
But I'm just I'm just fascinated how I mean, I
can get an amateur. So when the games at that point,
(11:50):
you're thinking, Okay, their field goal kicker is that good?
We got to make it as miserable as we can
on it. And that's not throwing go routes backed up
so the ball bounces when they know to prevent you
from pushing the ball down.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
The field, Let's throw the football a couple of times,
stop the clock each time because the ball hits the turf.
I mean, we're still backed up in our own two Yeah. Well,
just just dumb. It's just it's just dumb.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
And and plus the game your quarterback was having. My
suggestion is you'd play for overtime, hope you win the
toss and have your best drive of the day and
get out it n RG. But they didn't, and the
Texans fought and fought and fought, you know, blew a lead,
but also hung in there when they needed to. And
the quarterback just continues to make throws and he made
a couple of throws again yesterday. You're like, this dude
(12:34):
is really frigging good. And I know people say, well,
if we had Nico would have been worse. Well, I
can go around the league if if the forty nine
ers had their guys, if everybody's got somebody hurting right now,
so you do no excuses, you overcome and take care
of your business. And that's exactly what the Texans did
without an excuse. And I loved it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, and you only fail when you stop trying. Yeah. Nice, nice,
love the motivational speaking man.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But if you're also, if you're and Denico on that tea,
aren't you saying thank you for the gift. Yeah, at
the end of a game on a poor quarterback day,
But what are you doing throwing the ball like that?
I'm figure, okay, they're going to get in the gun
and hand it off like an inside draw or just
a quick inside hitter. And I'm saying, what are you doing?
It's like we're tired. It was thirty yard line, okay,
(13:21):
backed up. It was just stupid and Kimi do, was
there any doubt in your mind he was making that
so when they when they got it, No, there was
no doubt. I thought he was gonna try to bang
it in from sixty two and I was like, this,
dude's about they hit a sixty two yard to win it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And boom knocks it in from fifty nine, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Or yeah, when they did the calculation, I was like, oh,
it's only a fifty nine Okay, Yeah, he's definitely got
this one.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And I didn't understand and Bobby Slokes have to rethink it.
When you got that kicker, they didn't need to make
a special play. And then they got and they almost
gifted the Buffalo Bills a game by doing what they
did and then the intentional grounding moving back take him
out of field, go Rino. My gut was like, you
know what, they're gonna shank this punt and then all
of a sudden, Allen's going to make two throws and
(14:02):
they're going to be in position to kick a field goal.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well, when they backed him up on a great punt,
then and there you play for overtime. In that situation,
you just have to I thought for sure they were
just going to play for overtime. And they threw it once.
I was like, hmm, that's a little interesting. And they
threw it again, and then they threw it again. Each
time the clocks stopped, Like, what in the hell are
they doing? You run an inside, you run a little
screen or a little you know, a slant, or you
hand the ball off and he gets twenty five yards.
(14:25):
Now go ahead and go up and clock it and
then take your chances and push the ball down the
field a little bit. Not back there with the way
you've played and knowing who the field goal kicker is
on the other team. Just idiotic. It's dumb play Its
completely low IQ football. Yes, it's a dumb play card.
And it was all over the league and then on Saturday, Yeah,
what the hell was going on in college football? But
Nick Saban said, there's one place that you don't have
(14:47):
to really worry about going in that you know, basically
I'm paraphrasing talking about the one place not loud that
you don't have to worry about going playing on the road. Yeah,
Vanderbilderfield ask Alabama how that one feels.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, they carried the goalposts all the way down a
broadway and then threw it in the river.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Three miles of carry and I'm I'm glad the police
went got it out for obvious reasons. But good on them, man.
Yeah that that. You know how long it's been since
that's happened for them? Yeah, I can only imagine.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Good for them. Insane.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We got a lot to break down when it comes
to a big football weekend, especially the Texans. Nico Collins
went out, but the offense was able to get enough
done for the Texans. We'll discuss the next right here
