Game Day Thread OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD: Texans @ Pats - 2016 Week 3

[Haley]

Every series needs to be a 3 and out on the Texans apparently...

Jesus ... seriously

 

[The Gr8est]

Half Time thoughts

1. The results were as good as we could expect.

2. Jacoby is doing a great job, Josh is doing even a better one

3. Jacoby is NOT going to make anyone forget TB or even JG. But if he came out and did better with his throws I bet the league would closed this year up.

4. Losing Gronk again is about the worst thing about today's game so far.

5. The defense has been playing GREAT, but we've seen this firxt half before. Now we need to see a 2nd half. Ideally if they can hold Texans to 10-14 points we will win this game

6. Don't judge LGB from on his first half Judge hjim on the 2nd. BTW- I wouldn't hate it if they threw a pass to him. I know the Texans would expect it

What do you mean "losing Gronk"?

I didn't see him gimp, thought they were managing his reps.

 

[AtomicDawg]

A rookie qb starts his first game against an excellent defense and is up 10 points, and bb decides to play it safe. (Which he has done in this situation with brady) and people are complaining....its a new LOW for the game day thread

A new low for this thread is a huge feat.

Where do you get that they lost Gronk?

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

THE TEXANS HAVEN'T RUN A SINGLE PLAY FROM THE NE SIDE OF THE FIELD!!!!!

BUT THE DEFENSE SUCKS!!!

oh my ****ing god

The texans have had some strange playcalling lmao.

 

[Marqui]

Did Gronk get hurt or something?

 

[PatsFanInVa]

By the way for everybody who wanted to go down the field w/Brissett at end of the half... Brady, Jimmy G, those are guys that do 50 or 60 yards in a minute on the clock.

Brissett got 59 passing yards on the half.

Think about it.

 

[Tony2046]

Unbelievable. If anything, this game should be full of lauds about how this team has performed. Instead people take ****s on the team. SMH

I haven't been following the thread but this team has put on a show thus far. 3rd string QB is giving us something to talk about. D shut them out. They're playing hard. Loving this. JB is one cool customer man.

 

[ViperGTS]

Way to go Bill. Nice job turtling.

You do realize, you had 1 minute and 3 timeouts right?

That was PATHETIC.

Okay to the standard pea brains here that disagreed. How did that mentality work out for us LAST season with TB at the helm?

Tony, you've made the right decision my friend, lol

 

[RobertWeathers]

Jacoby Brissett ran the 40 at the combine in .15 seconds less than Tom Brady

And they're running the read option with him

Yea but JB finished his 3 cone a 1/2 hr ahead of Toms

 

[PatsGuy]

Hey guys, checking in during halftime............

The first half has been entertaining in my eyes for a team being lead by a 3rd sting QB.

Trust me, I love being up 10-0 but I hate hate hate the decision to sit on the ball (at the what, 35?) at the end of hte half with a full minute (and 3 time outs left). Sends the wrong message.

We had 3 timeouts and the best kicker in the league. I understand that a first year guy being asked to run the two minute drill would be prone to making mistakes, but needing 25/30 yards with 3 timeouts (and thus having the whole field to work with) had a good chance of ending in points. Now we'll never know.

This is classic over analytical . I have an advanced degree too. **** Houston!

 

[luuked]

Where do you get that they lost Gronk?

I guess he saw the shot of Gronk on the sideline with the cooling bag over his hamstring. But he was out playing right afterwards.. looks like they are just managing him nothing more..

Go into the half with a 10 point lead and a shutout at that. No complaints here.

 

[SVN]

we have had one drive where we reached their redzone otherwise not much. I expect houston to get really aggressive now on both offense and defense. They have nothing to lose. Our D better not turn into the 2nd half D vs miami.

 

[Pats2000]

Lol Jets fans having a meltdown at their forum...

 

[Gronk]

The texans have had some strange playcalling lmao.

Well that's a good explanation. With all this "strange playcalling" it's remarkable the NE defense has held them to zero points even without the pass rush you "wish they had".

Go to bed.

JB is not TB

Lighten up, Francis. Different game plan.

 

[Haley]

I'm concerned for the second half because we haven't shown that we can score without a special teams gift. And this D is going to get tired.

I hope the offense still has some tricks ups it's sleeve.
