PostGame Thread Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Texans

[Ross12]

They switched him and Herron at some point. I didn't catch when exactly.

Very interesting. I'm extremely curious to hear opinions from folks who watch the tape.

Hard to believe this is the first Pats win over the Texans in over 3 years.

That was the greatest play in NFL history.

Greater than the butt fumble?

 

[Ollie]

Am i the only one that also didn't think there was a conclusive replay to be able to overturn the TD with the Harris fumble on the goal line?

 

[DaBruinz]

That was bad too.

Just the punt off the back of the guys head...Charlie Brown-esque

They drew it up that way.. so that it would bounce, hit a Patriots player and then be recovered as a "fumble".

It seemed to me like Cajuste was at RT and Herron at LT all game, but the "starting lineup" on the CBS graphic had them reversed because they had originally warmed up in that formation, so it was confusing. I'd be curious to see the tape too.

What I do remember noticing is Karras starting at LG with Ferentz at RG, but for at least a few plays I saw in the 4th, they were swapped.

Call was bull. Ball was over the line.

 

[Pats1971]

He said he got hit once. He did get sacked and was also roughed

"roughed"

If there was one, I never saw it. So unless the refs have angles we don't see on the broadcast, I think we got jobbed on that one. Harris needs to hold on through the finish though (and credit where credit is due to the Texan for a good punch).

Best news out of the day:

Hunter Henry and Mac Jones are becoming best friends.
Yodne Cajuste can play OT in the NFL - this is huge.
3rd Up: A-blitz by Jamie Collins.

Yeah, I heard something today about them (Hunter, Mac) being neighbors??

I want a team that can be better than .500 (well technically 8-9 now) going forward for the foreseeable future. I do not believe that this team as constructed and coached can.

Jackson, Hightower and McCourty are likely gone after this year. Who is going to build this team back up because even after spending $200 million there are holes everywhere and they’ll get worse next season. They can’t just buy a solution. Someone needs to figure out how to draft and find diamonds in the rough for cheap.

You mean they have to figure out how to draft players like Jackson, Hightower and DMac? I just want to make sure you fly fully understand the irony of your post

 

[Ollie]

Call was bull. Ball was over the line.

Tbh i don't see how anyone could say for sure it was or wasn't based on the replays which is why i was surprised it was overturned.

 

[Pats2000]

Other way around.

So you want RJK to pick the coaches then

 

[Pats2000]

Anybody know why they traded Michel again?

Because you can't have unlimited players on your roster

 

[reflexblue]

I was going to post early in the game that the texans have played the pats tough at home in the last few years. But i didn't think it went back 3 years

 

[raduray]

Harris better get his act together. The fumbling has to stop. He needs a kick in the butt.

He got one in the ribs.

 

[DaBruinz]

Yea...Josh McDaniels and Ivan Fears are ROTC kids. Whatever.

I love how he calls coaches that have 8+ years in the league "ROTC Kids".

Coaches on the Pats with 8+ years:
Ivan Fears - 31 years
Josh McDaniels - 21 years
Mick Lombardi - 11 Years
Steven Belichick - 10 years
Moses Cabrera - 10 years
Evan Rothstein - 10 years
Matt Patricia - 18 years

Note: I am not counting the Playing years for Troy Brown, Jerod Mayo or Billy Yates the way they have on the Patriots.com Website.

I'm waiting for him to explain how all the other guys are "friends" or "kids of friends". It's going to be interesting.

 

[Callmecrazy]

Jones has been great and his only issue is when he gets too aggressive. So pats fans complain they aren’t letting him be aggressive.
It’s a process.

Good point. . Doesn't make sense at first but will make sense later in the season as he grows and the offense opens up more. Wax on wax off

 

[DaBruinz]

Yeah, I heard something today about them (Hunter, Mac) being neighbors??

Yeah.. the broadcasters alluded to that several times.. But didn't expand on it.

 

[Pats2000]

If you are really gonna deny that there has been a coaching brain drain from this organization for a number of years now you are literally ignoring reality.

And it’s fortunate that everyone forgets that Bill offered GREG SCHIANO the defensive coordinator job before the 2019 season. He hires friends, kids of friends, and his own kids. Outside of that he hires back old assistants that flamed out somewhere else and now come on the cheap.

That's what happens when you win. Other teams hire your coaching staff away. BB has done pretty good homegrowing coaches...
