Been mentioned in the thread a couple times already.


The refs missed that Byrd should have been down by contact on the play where he dove for an extra 3 yards since he was touched on the way down by a Texans player. Replay shows this. This wasn't as plain as day as the holding though, imho.

4. The point of rushing the passer is to stop him from throwing the ball. It's not much use if you get close but then let him run away.)

Agree

Bill O'Brien is available. I say draft a college QB (one of the top ones) and hire his Offensive Coord as our O/Coord. Make it as easy on the new QB as possible. There is no reason it should take players 3-4 years to learn the playbook.

And Dugger tripped the TE without that it would have been a TD.

In all fairness, the refs were bad for both side

I'll take your word for it, but you are the only one who said anything about it..

I thought he pulled him down by the jersey. Was hard to see live but pretty clear on replay. Refs were awful but we have bigger problems.

Do you happen to have a link to a replay? I'd like to see for myself, if possible.

Have not found it as it was an incompletion. Grab came near los and receiver stumbled a couple steps before going down.

Wrong post.

 

[captain stone]

Our "one of league's best" secondary absolutely sucked. At least we all knew our front-7 was trash, but these guys were even worse.

I took a screen shot from a replay from the broadcast

And here, it’s pretty blurry (I zoomed as far as I could on my phone) but you can see he grab his ankle.

Dont know if you guys rate Lazar but his podcast re how the Pats were beat by the Texans is pretty good , well for me anyway , which is not much.....lol. Dont know if his analysis sticks or not.

Having had the chance to watch the game again and review the All-22 (most of it anyway), the Texans basically gave us a dose of our own medicine on defense. It was clear in watching it that they were content to rarely blitz, contain the edges, and sit in soft zone (Cover-3, Cover-4, Quarters, etc) to limit Cam’s rushing attempts. Essentially, they gave him what he wanted through the air in exchange for not getting killed by his legs. The times they did blitz, they made somewhat of an attempt to disguise it. It was basically a carbon copy of what Bill has historically done against mobile QBs. Give them the short and intermediate completions when they can find the holes in the zone and keep all eyes in the backfield. Have to also credit Cam for the Byrd TD. That was one of the fewer times they were in man and instead of taking off and running, he recognized Byrd in single coverage and took advantage.

Who ended up playing LT when Wynn got rolled up on? Just read he avoided major injury.

I don't know. With his head being down, it's kinda hard to say he reached out on purpose.

Eluemunor.

There was the low throw to Byrd that was ruled a catch but overturned by replay challenge in Q2.

Also throw in the dirt on the outlet pass attempt to Harry.
