OFFICIAL: Patriots at Texans Game Thread

[A Defiant Goose]

Yal, the Texans have had like two big plays against the defense and they have 6 points to show for it. Relax

 

[grux]

Big plays are killing our defense. We will be fine if they don't allow any more.

 

[rexxar]

Who we got on Hopkins? Surprised Butler is not on him.

Ryan and McCourty methinks

 

[Kdo5]

Basically two plays set up two scores for the Texans. But as long as they are kept out of the end zone that's what counts.

 

[Bill Lee]

We might be getting somewhere if LaFell could catch a few...

 

[Foxypats]

well at least we held them to 3 after that long run. We need 7 from our O

Who we got on Hopkins? Surprised Butler is not on him.

Ryan and McCourty are bracketing him.

TE Scott Chandler (knee) is active but has yet to play a snap on offense. Michael Williams (8) & Asante Cleveland (6) getting work at TE.

 

[pheenix11]

I'm calling it, Lafell will catch a slant, break two tackles and take it to the house and everyone will be like I told you he was still awesome!

Relax people, dude helped us win a Super Bowl last year, he'll work out his issues.

They said Ryan was covering him with help over the top from McCourty

Bend but don't break. Need to stop this running game

According to @PFF, Brandon LaFell has dropped 24.2 percent of catchable passes, 82nd among 83 qualifiers

Unbelievable

 

[Rob0729]

D looks bad this series.

On one play.

 

[patfanken]

Interesting that on each scoring drive by Houston, the Pats allowed a play over 35 yards. If they can eliminate the "big" play, they can really suffocate this offense.

Who we got on Hopkins? Surprised Butler is not on him.

Ryan with the safety over the top, that's the reason why they broke off that long run.

 

[Brady6]

Who we got on Hopkins? Surprised Butler is not on him.

They have Ryan on Hopkins with help. Similar to how they did things last year with Revis on an island and Browner covering the #1 with help.

 

[UFGatorPat]

We're fine. Texans holding 2x non calls. Easleys and Co blowing up things.

Need Lafell to gtfo.

Wish we could drop him....but we CANT .....yet

 

[WhoaDirty]

we can't think like that. Our goal should be to put as many points on the board as possible.

Because the Texans are an offensive juggernaut?

 

[Saint Pat]

Look, if you are going to shut down Hopkins, then shut him down for 60 minutes. Don't let him have big plays in the last few minutes of the game and don't let him change the game.
