The Official Patriots vs Texans game thread

[Foxypats]

OMG, I can smell the bye, but don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

I don't want to play the texans again in the playoffs. We have been troubled on offense a bit.

Oh my god
Relax

This reminds me a bit of the Buffalo game last year when they were up 21 and Brady kept passing the ball. We didn't have much of a running game last but we do this year. We need to get back to a balanced offense - that's what got us up 21-0. Not starting each drive with an incomplete pass.

I can't believe you guys are saying this.

Texans are strong up front, suck in back.

Patriots started going 3and out in the first half when they ran it on 1st and 2nd. Then we saw Brady and Welker not connecting a lot, but they picked it up as soon as they went to the no huddle and passed the ball.

great play by Watt. what a beast. Woody has to secure ball after first down.

semi off topic


in fantasy does that count as a TD for Brady?

He doesn't get it in real football.

 

[ausbacker]

So that doesn't get scored a TD pass, right? And it's not a TD run by Lloyd either? How do they rule that?

Special Teams/Defense FUMR TD isn't it?

Fumble recovery for a TD

 

[DefenseRules]

Happy about the TD but the last play on the big blitz.....again we missed the 6 yard pass to WW. While the O is still playing pretty good, the lack of being able to make that short/medium TFB-WW connection has been the fly in the offensive ointment.

They will work on it until it works.

JJ Watt is probably the best defensive player in the league. Guy is nuts.

Also, Brady is absolutely fantastic. He has played a great game. Still think the Texans are going to make a push but I like the position we are in...

 

[Wax Frog]

I know it's too early, but I can't help thinking, "all your bye are belong to us"

 

[stcjones]

That is why Brandon Lloyd and A Hern are great Patriots......they are team players....they are playing the PLAY to the final whistle...and going full tilt....and PAYING ATTENTION to everything that is going on around them....even if they are NOT getting the ball. Incredible..HEADS UP PLAYS tonight by both Lloyd and Hernandez that have impacted this game.....GO PATS!

Yeah, the Pats have only scored 35 points with almost an entire quarter to go without Gronk.

 

[PP2]

Was just going to post the same thing. Tremendous player, gotta give HUGE respect to that guy. He's not leaving anything on the field.

I think you mean he's leaving everything on the field. Yes.. tremendous player. Runaway DROY.

I want the Texans! We have Gronk out, just lost JE, have a seriously ailing OL. Yet when Talib was in there, they couldn't score on us. We are winning 35-7. Why would we be afraid of them???

 

[Satchboogie3]

Keep running Texans, you'll score 4TDs in 13 minutes running the clock...

It's 35-7 without one of the biggest weapons in the NFL...

 

[patfanken]

Its officially garbage time

 

[IllegalContact]

JJ Watt is probably the best defensive player in the league. Guy is nuts.

Except that he was nowhere to be found while the Pats are racking up the first 21 points

 

[Uncle Rico]

Nice to see Hightower making some tackles. Scratching the surface I think.
