Patriots Texans Post Game Thread

ROFLMAO. Dude. Clearly I was watching the actual game. Not some fantasy game where only Stats matter.. Referring to the STATS when they don't tell the whole story shows that you don't even belong in the conversation. Claiming the Wilfork wasn't disruptive when he was opening up holes to stop the Pats running game (Bolden- 10 of 16 carries for 1 yard or less) shows how wrong you are..

Hilarious

You just told us that Bolden had 16 carries for 50 yards. So what? Bolden has been hit or miss in the run game all season long. He didn't have a bad game just because of Vince Wilfork. Bolden has been less than impressive rushing the ball this season and last season.

Around 3 YAC is par for the course for Bolden lately. Brandon Bolden NFL Football Statistics | Pro-Football-Reference.com

You don't like STATS. Too F bad. Vince Wilforks stats this season are truly pitiful.

That's actually not what I said. You can't even quote me properly. "I said, referring to STATS when they don't tell the whole story shows that you don't belong in the conversation". And 10 of 16 runs for 1 yard or less tells a much greater story about a running back than it does about 2 assists for a NT who is 2 gapping. This conversation has been had with numerous different imbeciles over the course of the years who have tried to say that Wilfork stunk.

Wilfork played well against the Patriots last night. If you want to delude yourself otherwise, go ahead. But be prepared to be schooled with actual facts. Such as the fact that Wilfork opened up holes for other people to make plays.

So, it's Too F bad for you. Sucks when facts don't agree with you..

I stand by what I stated.

Wilfork made 2 plays early in the game. You even mentioned them like they were something impressive which they were not. Thereafter Wilfork didn't do anything noteworthy and your moronic blathering wont convince me otherwise.

Here is Wilfork singled up by the Pats RT Brady hits Gronkowski over the middle for 34 yards - NFL Videos

Here is Wilfork falling on tne ground single blocked again Patriots Brandon Bolden moves the pile for 5 yards - NFL Videos

Just because a blowhard claims Wilfork manhandled the Pats OL doesn't make it so.

Don't know if it's been said but great awareness by Brown on the Sheard fumble to see it/not celebrate early

I like that TB hasn't given up on the bomb to Lafell. They may need that play in the playoffs so might as well keep on trying until they get it right.

eventually it will work but i doubt it.
lafell doesnt have top end speed.

What was sad was watching big Vince get smoked by Tom Brady on the run.
We made the right decision to move on.

He has generally shown a great awareness most of the season. He never really seems out of place and makes plays down the field. I like the young kid.

Remember when Brown was a bust?

No, but I certainly remember when Hightower was. LOL

Nope. KC scares me.

I would place KC on the same plane as a tougher type of defensive team that we've seen many times in the past couple of years, but they are not super efficient offensively, so I'd be fine with playing them outside of Arrowhead stadium, which won't be an issue.

Brown, Collins ,Hightower have all been busts.

Please lets draft some more busts.

That's why the 1st round pick stolen for nothing hurts that much. The last "bust" in the first round would be Brandon Merriweather in 2009 and since then BB drafted McCourty, Solder, Chandler Jones, Hightower as key players with the jury being out on Easley and Brown

It does suck, but we also have some nice comp picks coming in just the same. I wouldn't be surprised if Belichick packages something to have 2 second round selections, as well as our 3rd (Revis comp) too.

At the end of the day, if he does that it may help to offset the loss. After all, it may only be picking 10 selections less or something to that effect.

Funny you calling me the blowhard when you clearly didn't watch the game worth a damn and you have to refer to 2 plays from late in the game to try and signify your pathetic stance. BTW, I said Wilfork man-handled them on different occasions. I didn't say Wilfork man-handled them all night long.

I suggest you go back and look at the second replay. Wilfork starts off doubled by Jackson and Cannon. Talking about what happens after the play is by him really shows you are grasping at straws.

Wilfork was single blocked 15 times. This does not include the 2 plays where he stunts outside. He was doubled up on 7 plays. This does not include the running play where he gets chipped by Stork and engaged by Mason. It also does not include the running play where Wilfork is chipped by Cleveland and then chipped by Williams. Wilfork was also unblocked on 4 plays. And lastly, Wilfork drew the 1st penalty on Jackson.

Notable plays beyond the "early ones" include:
8:56 of the 3rd. Wilfork overpowers Cannon, taking him out of the Gap and giving Cushing a clean lane to Bolden.
6:16 of the 4th Quarter: Wilfork is engaged with Stork and helps to collapse the pocket, forcing Brady to run the ball.

Wilfork played the way any 2 gapping lineman should play. Solid at the point of attack most of the game.
