Game Day Thread 2025 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD: Divisional Round - NE vs HOU

[FCB02062]

No Schultz, No Collins. If the Patriots lose this game it will be an absolute ****ing choke job.

Why is Ryan Clark screaming and acting like a Stroud cheerleader?

 

[Uptown]

In fairness, everyone gets abused by Will Anderson.

Baby Garrett

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

They got to replace Stroud right?

Nope, two score game, he has the ability.

As long as the Patriots fail to commit to the run, this game is up for grabs.

 

[mikey m]

Maye hasn’t done the one thing he needs to, which is protect the ball. But I take way bigger issue with the play calling at this point. Also, need Rham back

 

[Keyser Söze]

POC QB

 

[Dexter]

Our best chance to score is just giving the ball to Stroud and let him give it back to us either as pick 6 or at great field position

 

[Real fan 02]

In fairness, everyone gets abused by Will Anderson.

Agred .Anderson is everybit of the ALL PRO and more.. the.. Patriots defense deserves some respect too..

 

[stcjones]

Eh, Id might have tried a kick with 2 seconds left

I would imagine that the wind must be whipping….tough

 

[Zoomnbyu]

This was gonna happen. Anyone who thought our offense would move every drive was fooling themselves.

We are 100% in control. The game wasn't gonna be won by the offense. The game plan was always: beat Stroud with defense. The rest falls into place.

It's how the Texans have lost every single game they've lost. It's because teams realized you need to beat Stroud, you don't really "beat" their defense.

this, absolutely this.

 

[aluminum seats]

Guys are open, Maye just needs some time, no rolling pockets Josh?

They’ve got to get him moving

 

[Vindicate]

If your the Patriots, you just run most of the 2nd half. Right?

You suffocate Stroud and you run, but keep an eye out for the intermediate/deep daggers. Maye calms down, McDaniels shows Maye what's he's not seeing during halftime, and the Patriots win.

 

[turkeyneck]

It feels like they got instructions from above.

If the Texans DBs can mug our WRs then our DBs better get similar immunity.

"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

 

[Lagaffe_07]

I am surprised Maye isn’t scrambling more and just stay in the pocket. Houston D is weak against QB scramble

 

[Mack Herron]

I hope Stevenson can return.

 

[reflexblue]

Maye has a problem with pocket awareness. They can’t win a championship with Maye turning It over. Don’t be Josh.

He doesn't normally, but i agree today he doesn't seem to be aware when the texan defenders are closing in

 

[Keyser Söze]

Good news is Maye can’t play much worse than that. Usually plays better in 2nd half after a bad 1st.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

We should be running a Bo Nix style offense in the 2nd half, everything quick and short trying to crawl down the field.

Anything to avoid giving them a short field.

Go to the Weiss playbook doing this against the Panthers in the 2003 Super Bowl.
