Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Texans

[jah]

Imagine what could happen if we give Mac an actual team.

Not sure what the thoughts were on the Harris fumble, but unless I missed something I did not see a conclusive angle to over turn

There was none, it was a terrible overturn that should've stayed with the call on the field whatever it was

 

[Pats2000]

Bill is nothing without Brady. GOAT coach???? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah because we've never seen a **** team play well against the Pats before

 

[sb1]

Huge kick by Folk! Big to get within a score and getting the bal at halftime. Mac has looked great outside of the pass that should have been picked. But yet again, so frustrating to see the rest of the team fail him. Thus far this team is the anti - clutch. They do just enough to lose, reminds me of the 2000 Pats / 2001 prior to week 3. Not sure if we'll ever turn that round with this current team but if we do it can be a pretty nice team.

The defense needs to rebound in a big way in half 2. Enough screwing around here and realize who you are playing

THat’s a good comparison.

Most losing teams are “close” to winning. That’s why they’re losing teams. Not good enough to get over the hump.

Embarrassing first half. Losing and looking like crap against one of the worst football teams in recent memory.

Down by only a couple of FGs is a gift.

Thank God for Mac

He throws down the field. And that happens.

A fumble at the 1 and probably a dropped TD. Can’t make it up.

 

[Froob]

Time to retire the “Patriots should be 3-1 or 4-0” talk. Bad teams consistently make losing plays like this team does.

There was no conclusive evidence. This was a call by NY to overturn it.. Not to mention that the left side of the Texans player was in the EZ. No possible way for him to hit the ball before it crossed the plane.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

OL playing well.

Yes, very pleasant suprise. No major breakdowns or penalties. We've actually been able to run the ball and Mac isn't getting killed

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

For all the mistakes only down 6 at the half getting the ball. Still a winnable game.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

The funny thing about the Brady/BB argument is we're perfectly fine at QB. If we had Brady I'm not sure how much different the team would look

 

[sambam94]

pats will win

Sometimes you don’t need a clear angle on one shot, but having multiple shots where you can put 2 and 2 together is enough (Edelman “touch” on punt in AFCCG against KC is an example). I have to figure the refs thought they had enough for that. My instinct tells me it was a fumble but I never saw enough on an individual shot to overturn it.

 

[sb1]

On the bright side… the backup OL look like they won’t be a problem.

I wouldn’t expect that to stay that way against better teams than the Texans but the offense looks all right with them.

 

[stcjones]

Jones very impressive

Jones is a superstar…..balls as big as Montana ….couple of bad throws on last drive but his fire to win is contagious…..watching him get chewed out a bit by Hoyer (which I appreciate from Hoyer) and seem so pissed for not getting TD there…..kid is awesome and should be great here for many years!

 

[sb1]

I think it should have stayed as the call on the field. Unless the refs saw an angle we didn’t see.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Is Wynn overated for what he provides this team?

 

[Ross12]

Zero sacks or hits on Mac Jones, believe it or not. This has been one crazy day.

You're down 4 out of 5 starting OL... that's bad.

But after the first half Mac has only had 4 incompletions and hasn't been hit or sacked at all!!! That's great!!!

You're losing anyway because the defense is giving up almost 11 yards per pass and have failed to stop all 3 fourth-down conversion attempts.

 

[TomPatriot]

They got this. Much better play in the second half.

*inhales*

*shouting*We would have gone in the 4th down
