OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD: Texans @ Pats - 2016 Week 3

[Froob]

Good gem from Lombardi here.

First time we see Gronk and Marty hit the field. This will be fun if Gronk isn't rusty.

 

[DaBruinz]

No derby/waddle and foster. Surprised. i thought they would use an extra lineman to run the ball and foster would be a good option for a rookie QB.

Harbor showed up very well last week blocking in the run game in the 2nd half so I'm not surprised that Derby isn't dressed..

Foster was benched for Gronk.

Anthony Johnson is playing tonight.

 

[Guts]

Stuck at work and like always you guys are the best when it comes to keeping fellow Pats fans updated

FIRE! ROGER! Chant was Classic when Kraft was being interviewed.

Well I look around the NFL at the big time ILB and see who is who. The best of the best seem to always be on the field. Just saying. It can't be all bad luck right?

Actually, yeah, it absolutely can.

 

[Froob]

Speaking of the emergency QB. with the league allowing the Emergency QB to be "inactive" but still be on the sidelines, anyone know if it's Garoppolo or Derby?

Isn't that gone now? I thought they added an extra active spot instead.

 

[oldrover]

if they cheap shot Jacoby to try and put him out of the game, then we cheap shot Osweiler the very next drive. then beat them with Edelman at QB

"They send one of ours to the sideline, we send one of theirs to IR."

Looking forward to this one even a bit more than usual, the Patriots almost always respond to adversity and we've got plenty this time around. They're ramping up the degree of difficulty, but we keep winning. Expect a lot of going big on O and grinding Houston down, playing field position football using our big advantage on special teams, winning a low-scoring game with our D coming up gritty when needed.

Got a long-time Pats buddy coming over and plenty of beer, ready to roll!

Derby

Not Derby, he was last seen heading to the parking lot

They added an extra spot, but you could designate 3rd QB who was inactive..

EDIT: Never mind.. Just looked it up.. Not the case.

Please make these for real tonight, Ghost!

Got a long-time Pats buddy over too (my daughter!) But she doesn't drink, so I'm trying to hold off for as long as possible -- though she's seen her old man lose it through a combination of football and alcohol before ...

Didn't see a tweet mentioning this.. but thanks..

Hightower out. Blehh.. that sucks. We really missed him last week.

"Beer and football... the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!"

 

[AtomicDawg]

I'm kinda liking these up close. The stripe on the side looks cool.

 

[JMC00]

We really missed him last week.

Maybe in the 2nd half. 1st half lolphins couldn't do ****. Their first 7 drives were either a 3 and out or a turnover.

They look almost black.. Not digging it at all..
If I wanted to watch a game in Black & White, I'd try and find an old CRT from the mid 70's.

 

[Froob]

They really have to do something with these Thursday Night games, that's nuts Texans have to go cross country and play in 4 days. Seems way too obvious that they extend the season by a week and make it so you don't play before and after a Thursday Nighter.
