Texans @ Patriots Thursday Night Football Game Thread

[ReMeDy]

I see Brock Osweiler is making that paycheck... He's getting outplayed by a 3rd string QB. Let that sink in.

Brock put up a big fat goose egg in the half! 10-0 Patriots. Patriots are 76-0 in Foxboro with BB Coaching when leading at the half. 76-0

Even coming into this game the Texans haven't been scoring much. Haven't really faced any good offenses either.

Osweiler is trash...

If we beat the Chargers on Sunday we will be fine. Only 1 game back. Not sure we will but we definitely could win all of our Division games if our Defense gets healthy. So maybe even we do go 0-3 it still isn't over as funny as that sounds. I don't think Houston will win more than 9 games, the Jags are trash too.

Ok I won't rag on Houston since it's so tough to win in Foxboro (like impossible) but they did do some dumb things like you know.....fumbling on special teams. I don't really always judge teams vs. the Pats.

 

But, seriously this is almost embarrassing for Brady too and I never ever went that route. I mean I get Jimmy G looking good, he has been in the system for a few years now.

 

But, this? What the hell is this? I mean this is a third string rookie for crying out loud. What is this crap?

 

It's almost scary as hell. 

 

I might have to pick NE to win the AFC. Who is going to beat these guys?

Yeah, Jules...  I was having the same thoughts.

I will grant you that Jimmy G. looks like a legitimate alternative to Brady the way he played. Brisset is doing an excellent job managing this game but he clearly looks far far behind both Brady and Garappolo...as he should, btw, given he was playing in the ACC 9 months ago.

Or lousy, hahah.

First play in opponents territory lol.

[krunk]

They lack the mental toughness. Have talent but still kind of inexperienced in big moments.

Jimmy G I do get in a way. He is like a model of Brady jr. who has been there long enough. He probably even eats the same food Brady eats. I get that he can do well........he knows the system well and has experience there.

 

Houston btw has one of the top D's in football and some kid who just finished college and started shaving has done what he wanted tonight vs. guys like JJ Watt.

 

 

But, I will say this, the Pats defense has looked very very good. I can't say this is a full judgement yet on how good Houston is either since I want to see them in some more games this year and how Brock develops.

 

 

Pats won't be worse then maybe 14-2. Denver is a tough game and they have Seattle/Pittsburgh. And the Jets. If they lose any it's in that group.

[gacoop1]

Did someone say if we gp 0-3 we'll still be fine? We weren't fine when we started the season.  I don't like to settle for just average, they were supposed to build a monster defense years ago, that never materialized.  So what they need to do is cut their losses, which their going to be many and hire a proven coach or one of Belichick's disciples...

[PeterBowman]

Jamie Collins is good.....really good

[weslo1812]

As much as any of cringe and hate to say it...this Pat's team is a very very well oiled machine. It doesn't matter the circumstance, they will still find a way to beat you and be better than you. They will always find your weakness and exploit it, and they will always maximize their strengths. It's truly incredible and admirable as much as I don't like them.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Man Brock is bad tonight! Pats hold them again. They might shut them out? Almost a pick6

Makes me appreciate Cool Joe Flacco and Eli, they're the two guys least fazed while playing in Foxboro, IMO, better than Peyton.

 

It also makes you appreciate how Peyton earned BB's respect as his career went on that BB felt like he has to take some risks vs Peyton that he may not have taken vs other QBs.

[ReMeDy]

Yea, this has shutout written all over it. That 4th down pass was awful.

[gacoop1]

That's because the Patriot organization knows how to get talent.  Can't say much for this team.

Are Denver and Pittsburgh away games for them?   If so, I think those will be losses for them.

I don't think the current Giants and Ravens teams could do it now in NE. Unless they could morph back into the old days with the defenders like Justin Tuck and Ed Reed who gave Brady fits.

 

The best bet now is still probably Denver but that might only work IN Denver.

 

 

Or it will just be the Panthers in the SB and Cam gets another crack at this.

Denver I know is in Denver for NE.

 

Yeah that could be a loss for NE. Denver is just too brutal on defense HOWEVER the Pats will wave magic fairy dust and control them and the Denver D falls asleep.

 

I am not as confident on Pittsburgh as most are.......

[gacoop1]

Hopes Pags and Grigs are watching the MNF game.  May be they can pick up some ideas or two on how to build a winning organization....

 We snatched up Werner that draft.  One of Grigson's stellar uses of our 1st round pick. SMH

Yes, both of those are road games for the Patriots.

 

But then, the Patriots always lose a game inexplicably to the Jets or Dolphins, they hate playing in heat from what I've heard.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brock needs to call it a night before he gets injured. He just got sandwiched on a sack!

You are starting to remind me of the old Pats fan who posed as a Colts fan years ago on other forums called "ManningsArmy". 

[2006Coltsbestever]

3rd and 20 and they run??

[Jules]

OMG Brock is getting destroyed. I actually do like him too. He's cute.  

[krunk]

An experienced QB and team would have different results. Brock and the Texans are inexperienced. Similar to some of the losses we've taken to them due to lack of knowing how to play in champion type moments. If Brady played tonight they'd put up 45 points.

[18Manning]

Bill Belichick MVP (Most Valuable Person) for Pats.

I think they're just wanting to get out of here at this point. Even they know they've lost, especially after that stupid unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

[MFT5]

I hate to be this person but we are not the patriots they are better coached and there's no way around that ... talent to a certain degree doesn't matter in the nfl a good coach will scheme his way to balance the playing field

When are you going to shut up and go away?

[BlueShoe]

This Houston team is not very good. New England is embarrassing them with a third string quarterback.

 

Poor play calling. In the first quarter they ran the ball on 3rd and 8. They might have passed the ball once on first down in the first half.

 

If we can get a few wins, get healthier, and start rolling then this is still our division.

[ReMeDy]

Hell, at this point, the entire Houston Texans team may as well get into a scuffle and try to force an injury on New England to say they did something.

Brady will be back though for those games though...so this offense will go to a whole new level. Scoring 20 might be rough for NE right now, but when Brady is back you'll probably see a number 40+ point outings. This offense will find it's stroke and it's gonna get ugly for opponents.

[krunk]

Actually Brady played against them last year and i dont think it was this bad!

[chad hugo]

Gotta give respect where its due. Belichick is a mad scientist.

[2006Coltsbestever]

At least we aren't the only team where Blount looks like Jim Brown. Man this is a thrashing!
