[FourierSeries]

In for Tom "literally ************" Brady.

Gilmore and Butler on the field together is awesome to see

Guy Brown and branch with ealy are in on the DL. Not much pass rush there

 

[BradyFTW!]

Here's to no injuries. The only thing I care about while the first team is in.

Ealy did a great job of setting the edge on that play

FU Ref!

 

[BobDigital]

Great coverage ruined by that penalty.

 

[Jlaff]

Oh damn, I did the math wrong. Game is on now?!

 

[Wheelman]

Not sure if this is common knowledge why, but surprised to see your post go without a dislike. Since the game isn't on for another 4 hours, I thought I'd ask what's been up with you and XLIX?

Uh, it's on right now lol! The Pats texans game.

 

[BobDigital]

Coverage sack. I think that was uncalled offensive pass interference on Butler but he needs to fight for it.

Ealy got good pressure once again and collapsed the pocket. Ealy is showing a lot of burst off the ball tonight.

 

[Wheelman]

That ref was about to throw his flag on Gilmore and then put it back in...

 

[BradyFTW!]

Butler's super bowl INT becomes more amazing in hindsight the more you watch him. Great CB, but he just does not play the ball well in general.

Not a big deal in this case though, I'd rather he play a bit passive than gets himself hurt in the preseason.

 

[BobDigital]

A run on a 4th and 5? Are you serious?

 

[VectorPrime]

lol that 4th down playcall

 

[BradyFTW!]

Ellington looks good for Houston, playing pretty well against the 1s. Ealy has looked solid for us, which is promising since we kinda need him to be starter-caliber.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Weak call on 4th and 6

 

[BradyFTW!]

A run on a 4th and 5? Are you serious?

Eh, it's preseason. I don't think they really care all that much about the score, more about getting situational reps in at game speed. It's a pretty safe bet that they would have played that differently if the game counted.

 

[Wheelman]

LMFAO! The texans fans were just loving O'Brien running it from shotgun on 3rd and 5 last season. And then he just does it on 4th and 6 lol! Texans fans are gonna love that...
