Patriots / Texan Thread

[Jake]

That's the kind of defense we need to rattle Rodgers

One thing all QBs have in common: pressure makes them play worse, especially if it's coming up the middle.

And again. 4th and 4 on the Patriots side of the field, punting. They may yet win this if their defense continues their heroics, but with these decisions, the Patriots slowly pulling away is far more likely.

7-9 Seattle beat Super Bowl champions New Orleans in 2010.

But there would be plenty that would top this though.

Nah. The game was in Seattle.

It's probably Broadway Joe beating the Colts.

My GOD Osweiler...dude's all over you and you try to throw it anyway? He's just stupid

 

[Elusive6thRing]

I don't think so.

Houston #1 defense.

Vegas had Patriots as 15.5 point favorites. I'd say it'd be one of the biggest upsets in playoff history. I can't think of a bigger one off the top of my head.

How is Brady completing these passes?

ALL on Osweiler. This game is so winnable too!

These are getting really absurd.

 

[Clove]

Texans corners are bad with the ball in the air.

 

[MRV52]

Wow are you kidding me

Knowing that , amazing it hadn't been a higher priority for us all these years

 

[Elusive6thRing]

What about the 2 gift turnovers they got

Why is it a gift? Are you saying every turnover is a gift? Their defense is good and they forced a fumble and INT.

 

[Tabascocat]

Texans defense has all but hit that wall, they need the offense to get a long, scoring drive.

What do you mean? Osweiler is who he is. There are no surprises here. If they want to win, they need to accept that and make decisions accordingly.

Did you see the Int? It wasn't forced

 

[StylisticS]

The Houston secondary is asleep.

 

[haleyrules]

Well....who knew this would actually be a game?

There is a lot of smart money on Houston. Brady is 39 yrs old and doesn't like getting hit.

 

[joseephuss]

Edleman turned upfield before the ball was snapped, but no flag.

 

[Don Corleone]

Unbelievable. Brady is running the same play 3 times in a row.

Average better describes 18th than atrocious does. A better QB makes that line better.

Quote: "We have reached the point in the list where every remaining O-line is, at best, severely flawed. The Houston Texans’ unit saw a mix of excellent performances and pretty terrible ones in the regular season....Chris Clark, however, was the league’s worst pass-protecting right tackle, surrendering a ridiculous 67 total QB pressures on the season; he was also flagged 13 times. The guard pairing either let themselves down run blocking (Jeff Allen) or pass blocking (Xavier Su’a-Filo) over the year."

A better qb would help, but Tony is too fragile to survive behind this OL.
