    1. Refs incorrectly calling Hopkins out of bounds
    2. Laser pointer was in Brock's face all game long
    3. TWO blatant missed calls that would have put us in great position in the red zone late in the game.

    Unbelievable, f*** playing in Mexico.

    Irrelevant. The 3rd down was clear enough to challenge on its own and should've been so you're not forced into a decision on 4th. Both BS calls.

    No, there was no booth challenge.

    They charged the Texans a timeout. He challenged it. He actually challenged the more obvious one (go back and look at the 3rd down play. His knee was down right at the marker. Much closer than the 4th down play)

    And as it stands, why would a first down and even possible points there have made a difference in the Texans defense inability to do anything close to resembling a stop? Carr knew exactly how to beat this defense by the end of the game.

    Have some god damn respect for yourself. You're blindly following a certifiable carnival barker who is constantly selling you tickets to the lamest show on earth.

    Lamest show on turf? Amirite?

    I'm convinced he doesn't know the challenge rules or how many timeouts are left

    All turnover on downs plays are supposed to be reviewed by the booth, therefore, we shouldn't have lost a timeout.

    Edit: I looked it up, this is not the case.

    "Ice" the game is for lack of better term. "Control your fate more", whichever

    Which goes back into what I JUST said about Take the Points if you think your D is so bad.

    If the game WONT be decided from failing on 4th, take the SAFER FG play

    If the game WONT be decided from CONVERTING on 4th, then what's really the point of going for it? Take the SAFER FG play and just go conventional

    You're saying basically the entire infrastructure of Texans fell apart and collapsed No Texan decision or anything woulda mattered ALL is LOST

    Its why its playing PERCENTAGES of safer points BECAUSE OF those uncertainties

    No, I'm saying the last time the Texans took the points (FG), and went up 20-13 with all the momentum, what happened on the very next play of the Raiders possession?

    A FG guaranteed nothing. The Raiders had the Crenel scheme beaten by that point.

    Then they should have never charged them a timeout for a failed challenge.

    Explain that one.

    You can also go look at any play-by-play. It has Houston challenging the spot on 4th down and getting charged a timeout.
