Official Game Day Thread - Week 3 Texans @ Pats

[VectorPrime]

How did he miss Cooks and Amendola like that? That sucks.

at least they keep forgetting to cover hogan

They showed it on the Replay. Cooks drew coverage off him. No WR operates in a vacuum. Everything on offense is interconnected. Reminds you how scary this offense would be if we had kept Bennett, Blount and everyone was healthy.

 

[NashuaPats]

Should have thrown it again. If incomplete, they would have punted it from near mid field with less than thirty seconds.

 

[Uptown]

This game is so uncharacteristic by everyone involved. Gotta go into that locker room and come out sharp. Even with the mistakes and challenges we are still up by a point. A lot of missed opportunities on that field that if we can come out and capitalize on, we win this game easily.

 

[Jlaff]

Good to see the Steelers losing to Chi.

I do not understand running on 3rd & 10....

Conservative play ....hopefully take lead into the half.....

 

[RobertWeathers]

It bothers me every time TB12 misses Cooks they say, "the chemistry is still a work in progress." WTF.

They are correct

 

[hodgey]

Amazed with the one point lead ( : Seemed like we took a whooping. Let's hope for some fired up inspirational play in the second.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

What an ugly game. Not pretty at all. Brady still doesn't have much chemistry with cooks. That draw was awful

 

[Uptown]

 

[TBR]

The offense is on pace to put up 40+ on a top 5 D, despite missing its best o-lineman.

Defense needs to step up. The Texans hardly broke a sweat to get 10 of those points.

Bennett has been trash so far, so he and Allen cancel each other out. Gillislee > Blount.

Not sure Cooks was a misfire. He should have continued running back for the ball.

Rush was getting home a lot more than they would probably like, they're up by 1, and get the ball back. Why risk a turnover?

I’ll trust Tom with the ball but fair enough.

Risk a turnover with 30 seconds left and the other team with no timeouts? For a chance at a field goal in a tight game? Sounds worth the risk to me

That’s what Pete Carroll thought

 

[patfanken]

half time quick thoughts

1. The refs gifted the Texans 6 points....so far

2. I forgot how bad this broacast crew was.

3. The Pats offense has greatly aided the Texans defense - Trip, being a yard short, the "fumble"

4. It should be noted that on at least 2 of the \3 sacks were caused by more by Brady not being able to throw on time, than on missed blocks by the OL. On the TD they gave them Brady was clearly looking for his 2nd choice

5. Brady had 2 bad misses on the final drive. A wasted opportunity

6. Watson has done a really nice job of escaping pressure and throws a nice ball. He looks like the real deal, but just not today....so far. I'd be happy if I were a Texans fan. He could be the QB they've been looking for for a long time

 

[Mack Herron]

Poor half. Gotta clean it up. Gotta improve right?

 

[Crononaut]

Haha as soon as Brady missed Amendola I knew we were getting that damned inside draw on 3rd. I don't care if it was the right play, I don't care if I've seen it go for 20 plus yards at times, I have a strong irrational hate of that cursed inside draw.
