PostGame Thread Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Texans

[Ross12]

going to be interested to see the tape on the O-line this week....it looked like they played pretty well though. Was pleasantly surprised by
the play of Cajuste

I'm also very curious, Wynn has been bad. Really just don't know how much of the performance was on the Texans being crap.

We spent $100 million in free agency, have players returning from COVID, have a pro-ready QB, and were 7-9 last season.

We should be better than this. This team looks like it will be WORSE than last year.

Man, that win has really hit you hard. Don't let it get to you!

Im worried about Mac. Whenever he throws within 10 yards, he looks great.

Past 10 yards? He looks shaky. His passes seem to be low, and not go far enough.

Is it the knee that hurts his ability to throw far?

stop, Mac is the least of our worries.

The pats offense had a productive day with four backups on the OL. The defense was a disaster against the worst offense in the NFL.

Onto the Cowboys

 

[Ross12]

I really don't get why we didn't give Cajuste a chance earlier instead of just constantly benching Herron for Durant (or vice versa).

Think they view Cajuste as purely a left tackle (at least ideally), so he didn't really factor into the right tackle shuffle.

Mills being out really hurt, he’s been balling out all year.

Harris needs to have his touches reduced significantly, his ball security sucks.

I wonder if the team was flat coming out after such a emotional big game last weekend. Or are they really just this bad?

What game you watching? He hit myers who dropped it

JuJuan Williams. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

I am happy

 

[Horace's Ivories]

I don't know - that seemed like a pretty great win.. especially with a back up o-line. Mac continues to impress...

 

[denverpatsfan]

They didn't give the Cowboys anything on film. Great job.

 

[Ring 6]

Dude. Really?

Why are you acting like that the reason we sucked today? Our defense was atrocious until Larry Tonsil got hurt, and our offense is still the same old 2 touchdown 1-2 field goal fumbling machine it's been all year.

Some of y'all are way to optimistic for no reason.

The defense after the first drive of the second half faced 5 drives and allowed 20 plays 81 yards 2 firsts downs and no points
What came before that was not good but to close the game out they played well.

Yeah, I mean consider being told before the game - "Hey, you're gonna be down 22 to 9 against Houston, in Houston, and you need to mount a comeback, but also 4 out of 5 offensive linemen are out of the game." What's your confidence level in that situation?

 

[ensoul]

This was absolutely a gift wrapped win by the Texans. Patriots aren't good but the Texans are really really bad.

The offense had its moments but still too many fumbles drop passes and penalties for my liking. At least the offensive line held.

There's really nothing good I can say about the defense. They let a rookie quarterback and a practice squad guy shred them up. I can't imagine how bad next week's going to be when they play Dallas.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

OT - now if only the Pats' secondary was as good as Miami's...

How are we supposed to take arians seriously when we watch his QB torch that great secondary for 5 tds?

 

[Twentytothree]

...if the Bills lose to the Chiefs tonight, Pats will only be one game behind them for tops in the division with both games against them left this year.

I like your thinking!

 

[Ring 6]

That was hard to watch. But super emotional and hard loss last week, tons of people out today, and an opponent trying everything they can to get a win. I'll take today's W and hope things can get better.

Honestly I thought it was a fun win to watch. Unless you are entitled and expect an easy win, that was a great win as a fan.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I am happy

It's reasonable to be critical of the team's play after a win.

It is unreasonable to be mad or upset at the team after a win.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Signature victory. Emblematic. We can build on this. Here's hoping Damian is OK, and we have our O-line restored vs. the Cowboys.

I kinda liked this Oline better with the 2's

 

[DaBruinz]

that's the difference between great coaching and bad coaching...a win vs a loss...I'll take it

But.. But.. But.. The coaching was BAD.. People in the game day thread said so..
