Post Game Thread Texans @ Pats

o'brien should have went for it on 4th down..they win the game

Offense was inconsistent and the D is a work in progress. At least 2 big ST errors with Amendola FC on the 5 [I think they ruled 7] and Allen kicking way out of endzone when a spike in the 20 was needed.

OLine deserves some credit IMO, Brady could be missing his arms and legs today.

Brady is unbelievabe, but desperation drives in a winnable game against a mistake riddled team won't get it done all year. Brady is not going to win, or stay upright without an intermediate passing game. Long pass is the cherry, not the sundae.

It was all bad, eh you CL turds? Half the goddamned gameday thread is blaming politics? WTF is wrong with you nitwits? either root for the Patriots through thick and thin or hit the bricks, you embarrassing sonsa*****es...

Yup, McCourty sucked today because he took a knee.

Too soon?

 

[supafly]

What an amazing comeback. Brady is insane. What else can you say?

 

[luuked]

What just came to my mind is that BoB screwed up immensely with that idiotic challenge on that magical Brady pass to Gronk that cost him a TO that he might have needed at the end of the game.

The little things..

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.

Agree, Chung was non existent until the end of the game, DMaC didn’t have a great game, Gillmore made mistakes with the huge PI but he redeemed the plays after before he went to the locker room because of dehydration.

Gronk played well, made clutch plays, Amendola disappeared for most part of the game but shows up in the big moments and he delivered big time.

Cooks is gonna have a pro bowl type of season if he keeps up.

Back to the defense, our linebackers plays have been mediocre other than the one sack they got. After Hightower there is a huge drop off in skill on that position. Van Noy hasn’t been playing all that great this week.

JJ Watt looked utterly distraught, they played a great game and the greatest snatched their victory away at the last minute.

Watt and friends have to be asking themselves: "what does it take?"

How many times are the chicken littles going to give up on TB and this team and this team comes back and embarrasses them. The game day thread was another typical embarrassment. Not saying the Pats diddnt look ****ty a lot of the game but why would you ever ever give up on Brady?

 

[TBR]

Brady puts the team on his back (yet again), in spite of a portion who clearly showed up thinking about things unrelated to football or doing their job.

 

[Oswlek]

The defense has done their level best to be considered the worst in the league through three games. That was abominable.

It's remarkable that a 5TD game could be considered sloppy, but it definitely was. Can't wait to see what things look like in a couple months.

It's amusing that the Pats can play so poorly, yet come out with the W and see three of the main bye competition get knocked off. As Tom Petty said, it's good to be king.

What do people think of Watson going forward? Too early to tell? Great QB?

Hard to tell. He looked good but we are talking about a defense that allowed Alex Smith to demolish them.

Not a bad post. I did expect a close game, though not quite this way, and I expected their front seven to be as tough as it was. There is definitely improvement needed in many aspects, including offensively. Winnable game, yes. But the Texans aren't a pushover, so hardly guaranteed. I think some underestimated the ability of the Texans to come in here and take a game, and they nearly did.

With all that said, I do believe the Pats will get better. I think Cooks builds on those late heroics. OL play and injuries, like I've said a million times, will be the biggest factors. That D, though, needs to play better.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Can't wait to review the game thread and bask in the positivity!

 

[mgteich]

Obviously, the offense was absolutely awesome.

Belichick can judge the defense. However, giving up 33 points to an awful offense just can't be expected to win every week.

 

[The Gr8est]

What a day!!

Great Patriots comeback win.......

Steelers Lost
Ravens Lost
Broncos Lost
Dolphins Lost.

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

And the Rats win. For them and their fans that was not what they wanted.

 

[bresna]

Rookie coaching mistake by Vrabel. Less than 30 seconds to go and the Pats need 6, you rush 3 and go heavy with DBs.

Thanks for using that word correctly.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Yeah, but most were trolling.

I don't know, Ross. Trolling means there's some semblance of just f*cking around to incite drama and not necessarily believing all the trash that's spewed. I think those people were absolutely serious. LOL

 

[Kdo5]

I didn't get to see much of the game until the end. How did Butler play?

 

[neali]

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

Rest of the week, for me...
