It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Brown is one of the more outstanding LT's in the league and handled Jones one on one most of the game. Luckily, the DL is now deep enough that even a bad game by Jones can be overcome to the point where the opposing QB gets hit so often that he has to leave the game.Agree about my man Vince. The invisible man looks heavier than ever. With his Dad's early demise from diabetes, he needs to wrap up his football career and slim down like Bianca did. Live long & prosper, Vince.
Another guy that was invisible was Chandler Jones. He does seem to disappear for some games. Anyone who does a detailed review of All 22 or some such may be able to point out he was consistently double teamed, and if so I retract the observation.
He was playing special teams. He just missed jumping on that muffed punt.Once again I will point out how underrated Brandon Bolden is. Extremely useful player who was able to step in seamlessly when Blount went out. If he didn't play STs and concentrated solely on being a RB his performance would be acceptable, given the Pats pass game targets are healthy.
That said, if Blount is down for a while we need another RB asap. We can't have just two healthy RBs. Three was pushing it as it was.
I know I can't be the only person who looks at Robert Turbin and feels pangs of regret that we didn't sign him.
I saw that Coleman was active last night but don't remember seeing him play. Maybe the Pats didn't intend to play him unless absolutely necessary?
Did Vince Wilfork even play? I love VW, but the guy was invisible. Is anyone else getting tired of the JJ Watt love festival? Just name the team the Houston JJ Watts and get it over with. I am so glad that Watt didn't record a sack and didn't get a chance to do his dance and signature sack theatrics. The team is losing the game, but that's alright as long as Watt gets his sack.
The Pats made a concerted effort to establish the run. Blount had to grind out some tough yards and so did Bolden. It seems like the Pats still need some help in the area. Maybe James White is coming along?
Also felt they blew the second Replay Review on White's catch on the Sidelines. White's entire right foot and the toes on his left foot came down inbounds with White holding the ball. That's a catch. Period. It shouldn't matter if his heel comes down OOB after the toes touch.

It does matter. Toes-only are treated differently than any other part of the foot. If anything part of the foot other than the toe hits OOB it is not a reception.
Except that no other part of the foot touched OOBs either. Go to the replay thread and catch up.. You're a few hours behind.
Regarding the Fumble/Incomplete after the Challenge flag. No one said anythjing but I think that was a notorious "tuck" play. I was surprised that it wasn't mentioned, but this time the "Tuck" worked against the Pats, so the League didn't want to point that out.
The tuck rule actually has been abolished.Regarding the Fumble/Incomplete after the Challenge flag. No one said anythjing but I think that was a notorious "tuck" play.

We have a very visible, very severe national security problem. No way the government sics the FBI on the one pastime that keeps the masses occupied when they should be using all their assets on the terrorism threats. Just the opposite, I suspect the government LOVES all the controversy generated by the NFL and Goodell the past few years.Keeps eyes over there and you can't see what's going on over here.
At this point, Pittsburgh is the team I'd least want them to face postseason.
Wilfork was invisible? He man-handled all 3 of the interior linesmen on different occasions allowing Clowney and Watt to put pressure on Brady. He also made a couple of plays behind the line..
Watt was double-teams all night long. But because he was, that allowed Clowney several shots on Brady. People down-playing Watt and Wilfork really need to take a step back and understand how the team game is played.
I was replying to your incorrect claim that even if White's heel had hit OOB it should have been called a reception. No, it should not have been.
What game were you watching. Wilfork made 2 plays early in the game and wasn't a factor since. He is credited with 2 assists. Look for yourself New England Patriots at Houston Texans - December 13th, 2015 | Pro-Football-Reference.com
Vince is no longer the disruptive force that he once was.
