No rebuild.

As long as refs don’t screw us again, we will be right back in AFCCG next year.
You better rebuild that WR corps…it’s criminal that Allen is 8 years in and this is the WR corps you have…disgusting!!!
 
Im going to say this again: Maye lead the team on 3 long drives and threw 3 TDs.

Now, we can focus on the other 66% of the game which was bad -- very bad.

But 3 long drives? I need to figure out how to weigh being stellar on 3 drives against covering my eyes for the rest of it.

Jekyll & Hyde
Would’ve looked much better if he would’ve taken the sacks instead of fumbling the ball. The short field led to the only Texan td.
 
Did I just see Stroud pray with our players after a loss? Wow, that is pathetic.
As an ex-evangelical I have strong opinions about my former faith but I fail to see how people of any religion peacefully choosing to pray together after something as zero stakes as football can be viewed as pathetic.

It's the NFL not real life. What's he supposed to do, seppuku?
 
Allen put up 30 against Denver throwing to Cooks
 
If there’s one thing I’m happy about, is my support for boutee since day one. Since being drafted 2/3 of my post have been promoting this guy and seeing him for the potential I believe he has. Contrary 80% of this board has been against him for so long. I made a post other day about hoping MCD would isolate him on stingl and why he is the best match up. All be dammed.
 
Defense played awesome, not only with the turnovers but only allowing one TD and holding them to 3 FG, including a pair of 25 yard FG.

Drake needs better pocket presence and Campbell needs to play better.

Rahm was awesome in the 4th quarter reminded me of clock killing Corey Dillon!

Diggs TD catch was huge, and his 4th quarter 3rd down catch was also clutch.

Boutte’s catch was amazing!

I was chatting with my best friend all during the game and I was like "I wish he had tucked it and ran sooner" and my friend aptly pointed out he had no running lanes.

Which I agree. I'd still rather he tuck it and run directly into a defender than hold it too long once it became apparent that our rookie LT wasn't gonna be able to reliably hold the edge.
 
Couldn't help thinking during the game that so many of these players grew up with the epic scenes of playoff football Foxborough in the winter and snow and it really must have been awesome to be part of it. "Just like on TV." They're professionals of course so put that aside, but still must be a cool feeling.
Maye commented in his press conference after the game that it was a very cool and surreal feeling

Do you have any experience with Seppuku?
 
Totally off topic, but I just remembered how the Bills threw the last game of the 2024 regular season to screw the Pats out of the 1OA draft pick. Eat a ****, Buffalo. Keep wasting Allen's prime.
 
So, you think that Carlton Davis going to the locker room with a "head injury" is no injury to speak of?
I wasn’t in the know. That is concerning.
 
I’m not an Xs and Os guy but I was wondering why they didn’t roll out to move the pocket more. It seemed to work the couple of time they tried it.
I really expected that to be the game plan, it was weird that they never did it.

Maybe that's something they expect WOULD work, but is also the key to beating Denver, so Josh didn't want to go to that well unless he really had to, because using it this week would mean putting it on tape for Denver next week. Ultimately they really never had to go to it, so they can keep it in their pockets for the next game.

Just a guess from me though.

It took them forever to try it. But those bs delayed draws, right at the start.

I dont know what McDaniels was seeing but Houston was ready for it.
