PostGame Thread Patriots Lose to the Texans 41-21, Drop to 1-5

Yes. A true a QB with top 5 talent and what the league is today. Yeah my guy peppers I don't want to rush judgements but I've heard nothing but exceptional things about him on/off the field since he came to NE. However your right if that's true then yeah... he's gone. Gonzo looked tired yesterday.. this is his first full NFL season, uche has been MIA all season, back ups are playing starting minutes.. Keon white is seeing double teams. Wish the team would look into Devin white.

Yea I think you could classify yesterday as Gonzo's first "bad" game - hopefully he learns from it

Yeah.. he and white have been our best players this season.. he just didn't look like himself.. he looked tired.. Hopefully mayo gives him a rest day this week.

With maye day at QB absolutely!! I can't remember the last time I felt like we had a QB that could possibly make winning look realistic. On The defense it is severely undermanned. Can't be too hard on those guys they have been carrying the team for 2 seasons. No Barmore, no peppers, no Bentley and this is what it will look like for us.

Yeah, the defense looked lost yesterday, but, to your point, some of the best guys are out. But they may be able to put up more than 17 pts per game, so...

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

How injured is Wallace? With all of the injuries I don't think he got a real chance at his natural position.

Im not sure how valid what i read was but there was a tweet that hed miss at least 6 weeks. Mayo said he expects him back this year. My guess is he may be back around the same time as strange( and hopefully barmore?!) , thanksgiving ish. Definitely wanna see him get some chances at rt so we have more intel on next offseason. Jacobs also should get about a month with hopefully some better matchups than hes had off the bat.

Agreed. The confidence levels for the entire offense is on cloud 9 now.. the Drake to pop connections is going to give CBs problems.. boutee he skill set is real and had great hands. Polk I like alot.. he had a rookie moment yesterday but he's a good young player. I think we can put up 20 plus ppg here on out.

I would hate to think the star CB going into Game 6 looking tired (sic) is acceptable. It's not, for whatever reason. I would hope he can find his big boy pants before Game 7.

I have 0 worries on #0.... he's 22 years old.. he earned the right to have a " off" game.. guys been a top 5 CB all season. Players deal with stuff all the time.. after all they are still human.

I dunno about cloud 9. They still lost. 4 turnovers need to be cleaned up, and 3/12 on third absolutely sucks. They look better than they did, but that's because they looked Rod Rust bad. But they have a stretch now where they can rattle off some wins.

 

[captain stone]

…Leverett was injured, Jordan et Lowe got injured during the game.

Was Leverett ever on the injury report this week…?

Because I thought he was replaced in the starting lineup by Charlie Brown because he’s one of the very worst OLmen in the Entire League…

We averaged 13 PPG, bottom in 3rd down, bottom in every offensive stat.. haven't scored over 20 points since week 2.. the confidence level yes is high from where this team was. You can even see it in pop. Agreed with adequate play at the QB position makes winning a reality.

 

[captain stone]

…All of a sudden we look like we have some WR and it's only going to get better once Bourne is back in the lineup

Bourne was indeed back in the lineup yesterday, but unless you saw him running into one of his teammates - again - then you probably just didn’t notice him…

2nd game back from an ACL.. will take him time to get back into the mix.. now with a real QB I expect him to make more of an impact.

I don't need to see him. He only leads the team in talking.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

It’s becoming a disgrace. Are folks incompetent wearing the zebras all the sudden? Cuz it’s happening all over the place.

So simple to have a video ref to override egregious misses by the guys on the field.

 

[captain stone]

I'm not defending Polk anymore it's Pop Douglas - Boutte and Javon Baker Time.

Baker also sucks, as do the two offensive Linemen the Collaboration foolishly over-drafted. Fact is, outside of Maye (and even then I’m more renting than buying), the rest of this draft ****ing Sucks.

 

[captain stone]

Hopefully we can win in London.

If we do, then Melonhead is Definitely getting Fired.

It's not even a year Coach cap give it some time. Our FA moves is what was terrible.

 

[PatsFan2]

You think Thorton could have caught the ball boutte had? Yes.

Let's just see Tquan with Maye a couple times before we Cut him loose right now Tyquan have Zero Trade value.

 

[sb1]

We all know what Diggs can do. If Gonzalez had a rough game against someone like Diggs I'm confident he'll learn from it.

 

[captain stone]

The call was reversed to a completion. TV didn't address it. Heard that on Patriots.com postgame.

I noticed that same confusion too… And didn’t the tv go to a commercial break right afterwards, which obviously didn’t help explain the situation?
I usually don’t mind Tolbert reffing a game, but he & his crew (including at least one silly *****) were ****ing AWFUL yesterday.
