Post Game Thread Texans @ Pats....Onto the AFC Championship Game

[BTTA]

It was all Eric Rowe's fault. The meltdown would not have started if he hadn't taken that stupid penalty to give Houston second life when they were about to go three and out for the second time to start the game. None of the rest of it would've happened if Houston wasn't gifted that momentum.

What meltdown?

Will we face a tougher game in the trenches?

Texans dline is awesome and their OL is good and played well.

There is not a defense left in the playoffs that had any chance of stopping the patriot offense

I'll add one more -- the Houston STer had his arms around Lewis on the kickoff return. If that guy makes a very makeable tackle we could easily be down at the half.

We can point out a dozen plays on either side that could have completely changed the game in literally every game.

People here are really Jekyll and Hyde about Bennett. One day he is a must extension and then the other day he is a soft, impactless player.

I think it's Bennett that's Jekyll and Hyde - one minute he's dominant, the next he's tiptoeing through the tulips.

I don't get it. Bennett went right back in the game after it looked like he got a hyper extension. That injury looked scary and he went back. People who are saying that don't pay attention.

What meltdown?

This is a fanbase that considers being ahead all game a meltdown.

What meltdown?

the GDT meltdown

Just totally idiotic. Bill's reaction was good. Rowe deserved to be chewed out instantly.

I've never seen Bill go after a player like that during a game.

So what's the status on bennett's knee? He's been too nicked up throughout the season. Something that would worry me about giving him a contract.

Stop the presses ! "If defender succeeds in making a tackle he can prevent opponent from scoring"

This is definitely not shaping up to be a "defenses win championships" year for the league.

It is shaping up to be a "quarterbacks win championships year."

The best defenses have had abysmal offenses. Other than the pats really

Do you seriously expect to get a truthful answer to that question at any point while we are still in the playoffs ?

 

[Ring 6]

It could be, for the Pats. In fact if they win it all the defense won it tonight, by keeping them from losing when their QB wasn't playing well enough to win it on his own.

Brady played fine. It was a different game than you are used to seeing because of how they defended him but like few other QBs can he beat them that way too.

I'm all for freedom of speech but does that have to include trolling? GDT would be more enjoyable without the azz hole trolls (3 or 4 of obvious ones). You never hear from them when Pats are doing good. Can Mods put them on permanent ignore?

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Ok...it was three turnovers not 4 right?

Why are people saying 4

the rowe penalty which gave hou life is sorta like a t/o

I hope Mitchell is able to be back by then. I dont believe I am writing this about a rookie but we could have really used him tonight.
