The Official Patriots vs Texans game thread

Optimist in me makes me think Talib will be okay.

Texans turn it over on Downs

Beautiful delayed blitz up the middle by Mayo!

 

[Deus Irae]

Great job by the defense again.

Second 4th down stop in a row. Very nice. That should make it a shutout for the half barring a turnover or mistake by the Pats.

Now the question is whether they can put any more points on the board.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Talib has been really awesome today! A real difference maker on our defense. Hope the injury is not serious.

Words cannot express the pure, unadulterated joy I am experiencing now the Patriots have started to blitz Jerod Mayo with some regularity.

 

[Uncle Rico]

All right, offense gets a chance to bracket the half with drives ...

 

[Mix]

Need points before and after halftime.

 

[Hardboiled]

Mayo limping. Spikes out? Talib out?

Yikes

ANOTHER 4th down stop - feel like I took a Viagra

 

[buile]

That was some gentle, off-to-the-side, arm tackle by Mayo on Schaub.... takin' no chances on a "touching the quarterback" call.

 

[Teapot]

see this bs playcalling...stop padding lloyd

 

[Rossmci90]

Mayo limping now.

 

[SVN]

Protect the ball and get out of the half

 

[ausbacker]

One query. Why didn't the Patriots just run out the clock to finish the half (at the very least forcing TO's)? Now the Texans have some time to try and score.

 

[juny]

don't like how the offense is stalling out in the 2nd qtr

 

[Deus Irae]

And right there was an example of a play where Gronkowski was missed.

 

[DefenseRules]

Wasted drive by the Pats offense.

 

[4thDown&GoingForIt]

Offense is stalling :bricks:

This does not bode well for the second half.
