Jadeveon Clowney: "Take them [deep] plays away, kick return away, we beat them"

[Soul_Survivor88]

While Brady was only sacked twice, he was hit eight times. Jadeveon Clowney believes the Texans defense was able to rattle Brady.

“Oh yeah, he was rattled. We rattled him,” he said. “Like I said, we had him right where we wanted him on third down, getting third-and-long. He kept throwing the ball and getting deep catches. … Take them plays away, kick return away, we beat them.”

Really puts me in the mind of the Broncos saltiness and delusion after we beat them in the regular season ("We shut them down in the passing game. But how are we supposed to stop them if they just keep running the ball!" "Whenever you hold Tom Brady to 16 pts, you're supposed to win!" "Malcolm Butler didn't shut me down. My 7-year old son can play Cover-2"!)

Loved some of these responses on Twitter

He might have a point if it was just one or two deep balls, but Brady got a lot of them. So....

 

[Todd Bradley]

Well, at least he's living up to his last name....

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

And if my grandmother had balls, she'd be my grandfather.

What he is saying is that he blames his defensive backfield. HOU's front seven played well enough to win. Unfortunately, a team has many more units.

Take away incompetent reffing and uncharacteristic miscues and the Patriots win 45-0...

I look forward to hearing his analysis on how Houston expects to blanket the middle of the field and cover deep...

"Take away X, Y, and Z that beat us and we win" is such a goddamn loser mentality.

 

[stelfans]

The things people say to feel better, hope that works for him. Lol what a clown.

"Score more points than the other team, we win"

Who is this guy, John Madden??

 

[Two Eight]

"Give us an 18 point handicap and we beat them!" LOL

 

[SuperStang83]

Basically take away the Pats from showing up to the game and the Texans would have beat us.

Glad to see BB and Brady cause so many salty tears over the years. It's witchcraft I tell you, voodoo.

 

[RobertWeathers]

It's like clockwork . Every year. Every team they beat. If they did this. If they did that. Bla Bla.

Just waiting for the, "They ain't that good" or "We are absolutely the better team" comments

 

[RobertWeathers]

Thus why his last name is Clowney

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

It absolutely kills, really KILLS players (and their synchophant fans bases) to lose to us.
Think of all the abject misery we have inflicted over the years, sorry I mean decades!
Does reveling in this make me a bad, bad person?

Note: this is a rhetorical question

 

[Ross12]

Uhhh... okay, Clowney... So if we just take away half of the stuff the Patriots did in the entire game, they may have lost.

Yeah, that's real insightful, dude. Couldn't we take away their fumbles and INTs though, too? Then the score differential would have been even larger.

It goes both ways, dumbass. What he's really saying is "if our secondary and special teams and offense were good then we would've won - but my unit is good"

 

[patchick]

He's right. Take away all of their successful plays and they'd lose every game. This is, of course, a trait unique to the Patriots.

Yeh, take away our three turnover in our own territory and Rowe's bone head penalty, and we beat you by 30+ points.

While we are at it, take away Tyree's ridiculous "helmet catch" and we win SB 42.
