OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD: Texans @ Pats - 2016 Week 3

[sb1]

They did the right thing playing it safe. Clearly they are protecting Brissett.

Lots of bad things can happen before the half ends. See Eagles game, last November.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Where's the pressure on the QB? I wanna see more of that. Wish we had that.

 

[stcjones]

No one can stop Hopkins. Teams are going to get yardage, whether we like it or not

Hit him hard at LOS and double team him....and most importantly hit him hard and slam his ass to the ground every chance you get

I don't get the venom toward the defense in a shut out game.

 

[SVN]

I still think its too close for comfort. We shouldve cashed in on the 1st drive where we kicked the FG and the turnover. Expect houston to now come out aggressive and their defense I think will start blitzing a lot.

Checking in at half time.

My 9 year old and I are freaking pumped.

Have to let him watch the rest of the game otherwise he will stand at the top of the staircase asking "what's the score now dad?" hahaha Love it.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Wow I wonder how many of the OC's in hear crying about being conservative would be killing Josh and Bill if Jacoby throws a pick that leads to points. We are playing on a short week with a rookie 3rd string QB, with a 10 point lead at halftime against a 2-0.

Hey Bill you SUCK!!

Seriously.

No. Even with brady he has been doing it lately.

 

[JPsPats]

Be ready for an onside attempt from Houston. They have nothing going for them right now and may take a shot at it.

I don't get the venom toward the defense in a shut out game.

Every series needs to be a 3 and out on the Texans apparently...

THE TEXANS HAVEN'T RUN A SINGLE PLAY FROM THE NE SIDE OF THE FIELD!!!!!

BUT THE DEFENSE SUCKS!!!

oh my ****ing god

Gotta let him stay home tommorow for the long weekend.

Hey guys, checking in during halftime............

The first half has been entertaining in my eyes for a team being lead by a 3rd sting QB.

Trust me, I love being up 10-0 but I hate hate hate the decision to sit on the ball (at the what, 35?) at the end of hte half with a full minute (and 3 time outs left). Sends the wrong message.

We had 3 timeouts and the best kicker in the league. I understand that a first year guy being asked to run the two minute drill would be prone to making mistakes, but needing 25/30 yards with 3 timeouts (and thus having the whole field to work with) had a good chance of ending in points. Now we'll never know.

 

[reflexblue]

A rookie qb starts his first game against an excellent defense and is up 10 points, and bb decides to play it safe. (Which he has done in this situation with brady) and people are complaining....its a new LOW for the game day thread

 

[Gronkowski123]

get gronk the ball

anyway hope we hold on and win. we'll need at least 10 more points

 

[juny]

Can't ask for much more. Let's hope defense doesn't fade like prior weeks

be a good dad and give him some benadryl

LOL


j/k

the games a lot better than i expected

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Jacoby Brissett ran the 40 at the combine in .15 seconds less than Tom Brady

And they're running the read option with him

 

[luuked]

4. Losing Gronk again is about the worst thing about today's game so far.

What are you talking about ? It was reported extensively that Gronk will be on a snap count and was throughout the first half. He was on the field for like 33% of the snaps.

Just because he had a cooling bag on his hamstring doesn't mean he reinjured himself..

 

[brdmaverick]

Still, this has been a lot of fun.........the D has come up HUGE!!!!! Keep it up guys.

I hope open up the offense a little more, but outside of my 'kneeling on the ball rant' I love what I see.

 

[Bruins29]

I don't get the venom toward the defense in a shut out game.

As Nantz said the Texans havent even taken a snap in Pats side of the field yet this game. Pretty amazing

Dont worry about the *****y losers here. They are just projecting their own loserness.
