OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD: Texans @ Pats - 2016 Week 3

[Gronkowski123]

Field position game. They don't respect the Pats O at all. It's actually smart.

so disrespectful!!!

Miller can not run 50 times. I just don't see it. His body won't hold up.

Good OL play.

I get that both Pats safeties were deep, but still an odd call IMO

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Dissapointed with the run defense early on.

 

[Gronkowski123]

marty for 5...now we'll run on 2nd.

Not a hard challenge when replay clearly showed Miller not coming close.

I think it would have been overturned, but for the reasons I stated I see why bill did not challenge

 

[BobDigital]

Blount looks slow tonight.

 

[DaBruinz]

ugh.. . Get Bolden off the field..

 

[Crononaut]

Very disappointed that BB didn't challenge that spot..it was clear Miller didn't make it

Either there wasn't enough concrete evidence to overturn it, or it was strategic. Only three total possible, if you fail a challenge you only get two, and you're still on your own 20 yeard line. Lots of time to get off the field.

I know it would have looked bad if they'd gone down the field just then but if we'd challenged, failed, then used another challenge in the 2nd or 3rd quarter, we wouldn't have any challenges left when such a call would have a much higher impact on the outcome of the game.

I'm not saying it's the right call, just that that was probably the thinking.

 

[Gronkowski123]

no running game at all

 

[TB12TheGoat]

they're going all out on the run defense

 

[SVN]

pats will surprise us by throwing more than running i think

2 safeties back proabbly has a little to do with that

If there's one area the coaching staff sucks at... it's challenges.

Except if for whatever reason the refs stay with the call you got only one challenge left for the rest of the game.

You really want to burn them that early?

 

[Saint Pat]

Blount needs a little daylight but Houston is huge upfront.

 

[Gronkowski123]

bailed out by a flag. thank you!

 

[Skree]

Sweet!!! PI!

 

[AtomicDawg]

Big Vince blowing things up. I regret calling him fat now.

 

[Froob]

Kinda a weak call to be honest.

 

[WhoaDirty]

That should have been holding not OPI - the pass was out of bounds.
