    Has a team ever won a protest? Don't think so

    We deserve the criticism we had for our 6-3 start about getting blown out against contenders, etc...

    BUT TONIGHT, we absolutely outplayed the Raiders in every single way. And we 100% deserved to win if not for a clear rig job.

    We should be 7-3 with the 2nd seed. *** the NFL refs, **** Mexican cartel influence (most likely), and **** the national media.

    After the Texans scored a FG to go up 20-13(and seemingly had ALL the momentum), The Raiders scored a TD on a one play 75 yard drive.

    There was no momentum possible with how that defense got schemed. Credit Oakland's offensive coaching staff for recognizing it.

    The Texans gave up 14 after a stellar 3 and a half quarters of football.
    They had 2 TDs called back...AND horrendous officiating on the sidelines. This game was officiated like trash. Straight trash...

    mediocre teams don't dominate afc west leaders for 3.5 qtrs on the "road." open your eyes and think for yourself, don't just "trust" the media narrative. the team isn't great but it's far from mediocre. they're decent which is pretty good considering brock and the offense struggles.

    Great. Now I feel like beating the crap out of someone. Good thing I'm at home and not out.

    You're a fan of mediocrity? Well, bravo to you. It's f***ing exhausting.

    The bad thing is, since it's the Texans, no one will care.

    accepting the penalty would've allowed for them to run out the clock an additional 40 seconds... So...I think he made the right call in the end.
    That missed opp of a challenge on that 3rd down run was utterly confusing.

    LOL praising the Raiders defense for "standing up on 3rd down and 4th down" on 2 plays where the Texans got first downs but the refs didn't give it to them.....SMH

    The 3rd down replay showed his knee hitting the ground right at the marker.

    I have no idea what they didn't see on the 4th down challenge.

    Wouldn't have mattered, they DID get those yards and it didn't matter.

    Correct. Ref hack job no doubt

    Then why isn't Lamar Miller running those 3rd and 4th down? Ice the game with your best runner, not a small runner and blocking back with 5 carries his entire career.

    I agree but he doesn't have the balls to do it. He's a p***y just like our coach. There were numerous bad calls this game. BoB wasn't even challenging or throwing a fit. Those consecutive bad calls/spots in the 4th had my blood boiling from my couch. How the hell was BoB just taking it like that!! He should have challenged and threw his damn headset across the field.
