TNF: Pats vs Texans Game Thread

[StylisticS]

Tough night for Houston sports.

 

[RS12]

Eh, whyd he catch that on the 2?

 

[Bay10]

Fair catch at the four? U go texans

 

[drawandstrike]

Yay, Thursday Night football has a fantastic early matchup, two 2-0 teams, this'll be good......


Aw crap....

 

[xwalker]

yeah and our staff is still trying to figure out who is on first base

What.

 

[punchnjudy]

It's too bad they chose the name Texans. That name won't fit real well when Jerry helps them move to California.

 

[StylisticS]

either the pats or steelers one of these team will be in the superbowl no other team in the afc is going to beat them when brady comes back he will be on a vengeance beatdown of teams.

Not buying the Steelers. Their defense is still very mediocre at best.

 

[Bay10]

Fitzpatrick was better and cheaper.

 

[Blackspider214]

Osweiler has looked very average at best the first 2 games. Nothing special about him at all. Looks like another Alex Smith clone.

Watching this game, makes me wonder how different we could be with a real coaching staff, not the Benny Hill theme music staff we have. They never miss a beat no matter what injuries they have.

Alex smith is better then osweiler

I know they did. But i guess I'm looking at it statistically. Because they give up as many yards as us per play and more yards per game.

Didn't look like it when they actually faced off. They both looked like below average QBs.

 

[TheHerd]

Got a chance to go to the Pats game tonight. Anyone who thinks we have a chance in hell against that coaching staff is on drugs. He could swap teams at halftime and crush Red with either roster. Lights out gentlemen.

 

[DandyDon52]

So this is what great coaching looks like

Patriots are a well oiled machine, and players have to earn the jobs. and fight to keep them, and play multiple roles,

Average score per drive is a better indication of how good a defense is. Pitt is ranked at 6 with 1.28 points per drive. We are ranked 24 with 2.32 points per drive.

Unfortunately, our staff isn't judged on the metrics of wins and losses. They are judged on whether or not they are in the inner circle and cool with the owner.

Truer words have never been spoken. Watching the Patriots makes you realize how far we have to go.

This is why you need coaching. You can't outtalent the league for long. Other teams will start poaching your talent from you by offering them huge contracts, leaving you unable to resign all your best players.

However, there's no salary caps on coaching or the front office. You have to have an advantage in the front office and on the coaching staff if you want long-term success in this league. Unfortunately, our staff isn't judged on the metrics of wins and losses. They are judged on whether or not they are in the inner circle and cool with the owner.

That's the root of the problem.

do the pats pay big money for their FO more so than the Cowboys? I know the owner does a better job than our owner building an FO.
