NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Wild Card Monday: Texans at Steelers

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Im getting teary eyed watching rodgers leave the field one last time after a humiliating playoff loss

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Pats open as 3 point favs against Texans.

There is no soft spots in their pass defense.

And they’re not a run defense.

They’re literally the #1 pass defense.

Wrong. They are #4 run defense in the league. They excel at that.

The Patriots are not a running team. The Texans have not played a passing offense like New England's all year. Not only that, they haven't played a passing offense as good as New England's other than the first game.

When they've played good passing offenses, they've given up 27 and 29 points. Somehow they gave up 30 to the Colts as well.

They still won’t release the gametimes for next week, ****ing assholes

They just did, Pats at 3pm Sunday.

 

[ViperGTS]

Pats playing at 3 set Sunday

 

[KamikazeKnight]

Great test coming up for Maye.

#4 rush (I didn’t verify but i’ll take your word) and #1 pass … what’s higher again?

I think it was the 1.5 generic before the game, interesting.

Did I say there is a soft spot in their pass defense? There is no soft spot in the Chargers pass defense either. The Chargers just have a slightly better passer rating defense. At worst, the Chargers and Texans pass defense are equal.

 

[Vindicate]

Houston will be the best defense Maye has ever faced in his life. He has literally never seen what he is about to see next week.

The Pats need to play it conservative.

He faced 'em last season. A very similar unit that's now much better against the run. He hung three TD's on 'em with a circus act for a coaching staff. He also threw two INT's. Their pass defense was already nasty, the run defense was around 14th.

 

[ZotZot]

We got the Sunday afternoon slot thankfully

 

[PlainOldEd]

Nice job by Buck and Aikman just shutting TF up and letting us watch Rodgers walk off.

It's gonna drop to 2.5 soon i think, people will take the Texans +3

You can argue until the cows come home but the Chargers defense is NOTHING compared to the Texans.

In any way, shape or form.

 

[Bill Lee]

The Steelers and Tomlin need to go their separate ways

True, yet the Yinzers are now staring into that deep dark abyss of no options at quarterback, just like the Jets did a year ago and ended up going with Justin Fields. It kinda does make one think they might as well blow the whole damn thing up.

Not even remotely the same quality of defense last year.

Oh my god, this is not difficult to understand. The Patriots are not a running team. They are the NFLs 1st or 2nd best passing team.

 

[Bill Lee]

Steelers had no business being in the playoffs and it showed

Was so nice when we had six teams in the playoffs per conference instead of seven.

 

[upstater1]

Nice job by Buck and Aikman just shutting TF up and letting us watch Rodgers walk off.

That was a brutal walkoff.

Steelers fans screaming at him to retire.
