Post Game Thread Texans @ Pats

[patsinthesnow]

What a pleasure to watch. 3rd and 12; 3rd and 18. 375 yards 5 TDs vs. an elite defense. Had no running game. Barely a defense behind him.

An all time Brady putting the team on his back game. Incredible!

Wait I thought we were down three touchdowns from the thread reactions.

Or 25 points ... ring a bell?

Lots of work to do, but a W is a W, TFB seems to be communicating a bit better with BFC, and we can all step back from the ledge now.

Victory, no serious injuries, lots for Belichick to yell at them about, Pittsburgh, Denver, Baltimore lose...

All in all, a pretty good day.

Awesome game!!! well defense was a little scary. lol but hey a wins a win! Obviously Brady and Cooks were awesome, so glad to see them getting on same page, but don't want to forget Amendola, not big stats but always seems like he comes up with that 1st down when we desperately need it, that last was amazing! I'm so glad I can be in a good mood the rest of the day now

Great comeback win but wow this defense needs to get it together if we are gonna have any real shot at a SB. They just let the TEXANS...........carve them up.............THE FREAKING TEXANS...............that being said, great comeback win. It's still early so I'll try to remain optimistic.

They really struggle against mobile running QBs.

They need to improve by a lot. Defense still wins come playoffs

Another Sunday another Brady comeback, he had it all the way.

As I wrote in my inital post to the live game thread.. without Cannon this game would definitely not be sexy or a blowout. In the end the only thing that counts is that we got the W.

There were some good flashes on the defense as well as on the offense but things are not clicking fully yet. Again, to all the doom and gloomers from week 1 and the ridiculously optimistic from week 2, this is a work in progress and a prognosis of where the team will go wont be possible until the mid point of the season.

Brady had some brainfarts as well as unbelievably clutch plays and while him and Cooks will get all the media attention for connecting on that TD I just wanna highlight once again Amendola with some big, clutch catches throughout the game.

Go crazy folks..

TB12 we are not worthy.

As fans, no we don't. The lack of faith is amazing. I mean how many times has Brady done this!

 

[RayClay]

Pats still look terrible considering, let's not sugarcoat it. Defense BLOWS and Oline sucks.

Yeah, Those Texans have no D. Watt, Clowney, Merciless, who are those guys? OLine should have had a walk in the park today.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

This is the type of game that should remind everybody how lucky we are to have Tom Brady. Magical last drive. Wow!

That being said... we have a lot of work to do especially on defense. September preseason nearly over. Time to get much better. In BB I trust.

Those boos that were heard early in fourth quarter after third-and-1 stop have turned into "Brady! Brady! Brady!" chants.

Must be all those same fans posting to the board from Gillette in the game thread. LOL

Dolphins Lost.

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont forget: jete won and all their fan's draft boards shattered. LOL.

 

[Patstopia]

Now if they can just find a way to pick up a 2nd and 1 or a 3rd and 1. Pass blocking is fair but run blocking sucks. Thank the gods for TB12!!!

 

[randomk1]

Brady is just sick. Not sure how many fans can feel almost certain that their QB will score in a situation like that. I think other than Pats fans the number is zero.

 

[VectorPrime]

Cooks is the real deal.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

TB is an assassin. Harmon closes so many games with interceptions. Didn't always like the way the game played out, but I love the way that our boys fought back and did what they needed to do in order to win.

By the way, for as ferocious and menacing as the Texans defense looked, Brady still threw for nearly 400 yards, along with 5 touchdowns. Incredible.

Cooks trade looks very, very good in retrospect.

Concerns: Our run game needs to step up a bit, particularly in short yardage scenarios. We haven't converted some of the 1- or 2-to-go downs this season. Additionally, it looks like there's still some miscommunication in the secondary. I expect both of these areas to improve over the season, and we'll see the total points allowed drop to a more reasonable level.

 

[luuked]

They reallystruggle against mobile running QBs.

No, they dont struggle particularly against mobile quarterbacks.

The lack of pass rush is by design in order to contain said QB which worked mostly well against Watson. There were a lot of missed tackles and bad edge discipline on some plays though that need to be cleaned up.

I dont get how after years and years people still dont understand how BB/Patricia are defending against mobility.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Brady has been ridiculous. I just hope he doesn't wear out his arm in 16 games.

Tom... do you need a bodyguard?
