Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Texans

[ashley]

This is going to be a fascinating game...we are decimated on the O-line(4 starters potentially out) and our secondary is very thin with Mills out today. This is a winnable game and with the Jets at home next week, a win today and we could be back at 500 in two weeks and hopefully getting healthier.

Interested to see how much Jamie Collins plays today. Would like to see Harry and our tight ends make a few more plays. Want to also see if Rham is active.

Of course hoping for no more injuries.

Go Pats!!!!!


Let's discuss!!!!!

Let's go!!! I have a feeling our defense is going to have to win this game with 4 starters on OL out. Hopefully Mac will survive.

What If our O-line today plays better than it has the whole season @DropKickFlutie might rethink his starting line up.

 

[Froob]

Field position and no turnovers. Texans will probably need to get some help to score enough points.

 

[Clonamery]

Do we really need an OL?

 

[irishfanatic]

Definitely not what you need to happen on the O/L and trying to protect a Rookie QB, regardless of how promising he looks.
Here is hoping for the best. Get a W and no more injuries pl.
GO PATS

Fun and games

We aren’t facing the Bucs run defense this time. If Harris can get the run blocking he could get his opportunities to eat.

Ashley, they couldn't really play much worse. There's certainly an opportunity for a guy to compete for a role by playing really well today...

 

[50-yard-line]

So they finally put Brown on IR?

Would anyone be surprised if he doesn''t come back this year?

The guy made almost $2 million per snap as it stands right now.

Lol Ross, was thinking the same thing...might be a good opportunity to showcase what they can do...except for Durant and Herron...we pretty much know what they are...would like to see if Cajuste gets the start.

I am wondering if the calf is turning into an achilles/ankle issue.

Well I didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I’m no help at slinging **** at the wall.

Let's cherish Brown's game 1 /first play from scrimmage season highlight

+35 YD

1 & 10 - NE 25 (15:00 - 1st) D.Harris rushed right guard to MIA 40 for 35 yards. Pushed out of bounds by J.McCourty at MIA 40.

It's not looking good. OL has all the focus, but Mills out is also troubling. The week we lose Gilmore for good, now we have to roll with Williams and Bryant. If Jackson or J. Jones go down, we're screwed!

Karras and Ferentz are experienced vets, but they're not the biggest guys. I don't think they can push the line in the run game, and I don't know how confident you can be in pass blocking. Not to mention our backup tackles being turn-styles. So, it seems like a lot of draws, screens and stretch plays today. Because the one thing all these backups have over starters, is they are more athletic and light on their feet.

I think it's going to be ugly. Pats 9 Texass 6

We really haven’t had one all year, so!

[italian pat patriot]

We need a win...whatever it takes...

 

[JMC00]

While I won't ever be mad at a win, I know realistically this team at 1-3 probably isn't making the playoffs (unless it just clicks and they go on a run) but I won't be mad about losses because it will ultimately help in the long run especially if it ends up getting a top 10 pick to go get an OT or WR in the draft. Be in a position to draft a guy (Evan Neal) that is familiar with blocking for Jones, won't say no to that.
