Official Game Day Thread - Week 3 Texans @ Pats

[Hammer of Thor]

Not on the list. He'll be out.
Edit: still not. Getting paper bag. Deep breaths.

Waddle and Fleming as our starting tackles today?............

Not like Houston has a front 7. Everything's fine....

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

This might be the only time the Gameday thread is the second most hysterical thread on the front page.

Agreed

Instant THREAD IGNORE for me

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Brady's going to get ****ing killed. And we don't have Edelman to get open quick

Wow

Throw JAG to the lions?
Mr Belichick, we have Gisele on the line for you. She insists it's imperative she talk to you...in the utmost confidence.

 

[DarrylS]

Then annual NFL war of attrition continues into week #3... that is a lot of injuries.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Play Jimmy and let him get hurt instead of Tom

 

[long distance]

M Flowers the surprise.

Not entirely. This is post from the “STAR“ thread about this option:

Jordan Richards . and STAR position

Still doesn't mean he'll start but obviously he is part of the plan today.
If any game needs a STAR guy its this one. They tried w Richards vs fast KC O, obviously it's Flower's turn.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Banged up OL against the Texans isn't good news. Good thing is that Danny is back so we should be able to get the ball out quick. I also expect a lot of screens to White and/or Lewis.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

This is a huge "don't ignore the obvious" game imo.

Their front 7 vs our Oline.

Houston will go to their Diamond Front putting 5 across the line to get 1 on 1's across the board.

They did this last year at times and during the playoff game as well.

Put an athletic player (W.M., Watt who was out etc) against Andrews and our IOL to cause a match up problem.

OLine, IOL will have to show up.

Good thing is if/when we block the attack we'll have ++++ match ups for Tom to take advantage of.

Wow

So that's how they're going to keep Jimmy. They're gonna get Brady taken off in a body bag!

 

[TB12TheGoat]

This ****ing injury list looks like week 15

Wow

I like the three interior OL...

 

[TB12TheGoat]

I like the three interior OL...

Doesn't matter with the tackles

 

[Tony2046]

What's the over under for offensive holding flags?

 

[ashley]

I like the three interior OL...

I like them too Farn, but Andrews worries me a little against the inside pass rush of the Texans...got beat real bad time after time in the playoffs.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Eagle and Fouts......goddamit.......

 

[long distance]

Fleming and Waddle at T sounds similar to Brissett for JG . and that one turned well..

In any case Solder wasn't himself and better to find out about Waddle and Fleming early than late (as long as Tommy survives)..

That explains the praise of both T guys this week from BB.

Again from the other thread: Dorsett said the plan is quick lining up throughout the game, Tom taking time pre-snap, WRs going straight to routs without any delays on LOS - everything planned for quick releases .. hopefully

 

[farn]

Maybe Gronk & Allen do lotsa helping today.
