Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread - Week 13 Pats @ Texans

Great day for Baltimore. Beating the class of the NFC and getting HFA by end of the day.

We thought the same last year after the game in Pittsburgh. Alot can still happen, my main concern is we'll likely have to go on the road where we are considerably worse.

It doesn't guarantee success, sure. But what always flabbergasts me about the GDT thread is how short people's memories are.

Losing 2 games in a row in December taking us to 9-5? Absolutely nobody felt great and yet we went on to win it all.

That's why I don't get the doom and gloom at 10-2. There's plenty of reason for concern but this team, time and time again, has overcome adversity to put it together. They absolutely have the roster to win another championship if we can start executing. Even our OL is good enough for us to raise #7 if we can put it together.

We dont need a man that can get open. We have principles...

Awful time management on this drive. Keep waiting for that big strike Collinsworth is talking about. Looks like we just wanna seal this thing up and head home.

Tom’s favorite receiver is no longer the open receiver

I bet if you examined the offensive points per game and took out the defensive and special teams scores the story of this offense would be very sad.. probably last in the league

Regardless, this is just one game. Things looked much worse last year so still think the Pats can get things together.

Early picks generally signal a bad night. But the team goals are the same and a big game against KC is next. No sense worrying about where the AFCCG is being played. Won’t matter if they don’t play better.

It would be 9 + 16 = 25

So many low snaps in this drive, almost cost us a couple of times giving Brady that half second less.

These guys have just given me so much incredible football, rings upon rings, I’m not just here to see 14-2 HFA steamroll seasons. I’m a Patriots fan. I enjoy watching Patriots football. Sometimes they lose and that’s okay. Sometimes they don’t win the Super Bowl and that’s okay.

Harry not even on the field for that 4 and 6

Got it by a couple inches

In some ways I don't think it has been for a while. He's struggled with that since 2007.

15 was a wreck. They had Gronk for the whole season, more or less, but at one point they started Joey Iosefa at running back and they never had Edelman, LaFell, and Amendola at the same time. A healthy Gronk did make all the difference, of course, that I'll give you.

All the years you noted had big problems. I'm not denying that, at all.

But this year is worse. To use '15, for example, that team started out at 10-0, and that team fell because injuries piled up. As you're pointing out, that team ended up with the corpse of Steven Jackson at RB, by the end. But this year, this crap's been going on since week one, though AB's arrival tempered it for a week. This hasn't been something that just happened at the end.
