The armchair GMs and HCs around here has gotten amusing. Obviously a rebuild should only require one season off from the playoffs. Give it a few years and stfu , sorry, drinking

You should drink and post more often.

Lots of 2 TE sets tomorrow

Shot gun and Brandon Bolden. Bolden isn't very dynamic but, no doubt the most trusted pass blocker.

Take another shot and post some more.

With Mills listed as OUT, who takes his place? Why haven't they been playing SloJuan? JJones looked hobbled against the Bucs. Collins added to depth chart. I wonder if Van Noy plays? So many questions, so little time. Game on in 17 hours.

I am all for SloJuan playing this game, which will partially allow the defense to give up a ton of first downs and in an indirect way protect Mac Jones by keeping Mac longer on the sidelines this game. Also where's Bentley, let's play him this week for the same reason.

Bold Prediction: William Sherman plays well tomorrow and becomes the General of the Offensive Line going forward.

Sherman will reduce Houston to ashes

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

I can’t remember any team losing 4 offensive lineman for one game. Not sure you can overcome that, especially with a rookie QB, and 1 RB

While I hope this is true, it would mean his trail breakers need a serious refresher course on map reading.

Do you really think the Patriots have any claim to the injury card? Every team has injuries, so as they get players back, so does their competition.

But overall, their injuries are minimal compared to other teams.

Seems a lot things have changed in the last few days....

Texans D is generating 4.6% pressures (#24). They have 7 sacks (Pats 10). Mercilus has 3.

They have a TO diff. of -1 (Pats -2). They have 5 INT (Pats 5) and 1 fumble (Pats 0).

They're allowing 137 rushing yds (Pats 122) and 265 passing yds (Pats 185).

They'll blitz Mac just like every team, which Mac has handled well, getting the ball out quickly. Unfortunately with a brand new line, they'll have communication issues, so expect sacks. There will also be a bunch of false starts and holding penalties, which will stall drives. This will probably be a low scoring game since Pats D should hold Mills to fgs.

GDT should be interesting. I'm out.

and by "interesting" you mean utterly insufferable...

I mean, did the pats not rebuild the last 20 years? Why does rebuild mean losing record now?

if your team has a quality qb and drafts well, then the rebuild is relatively constant,

Without a qb or poor drafting them your team is always in a rebuild situation,

This game has the earmarks of a struggle that never should have been. Could be incredibly ugly and embarrassing.

No excuse for Daddy Long Legs not to start at CB tomorrow.
