Texans Offense has to beat Patriots

Agree in theory... and retrospect.

But, this was an offense as putrid as any for the first 2 weeks of the season. This was a defense thought to be in the upper echelon of the league coming into the season, and showed plenty of that today with sacks and a TD.

Should have gone for it in hindsight... defense should have stopped Brady on the last drive.

 

I think they convert on 3rd 1 with Watson running and the defense gasping for air at that point. instead you run it into the teeth of the fatties with a back that does his best off tackles not in between them. Defense only rushed 4 in the last TD for brady and Clowney got there. DBs are clue less. they had no idea where the ball was in flight, only jjo can locate the ball.

 

Even if they convert that... how do you suggest they play the rest of the series?

Start running clock, make them use their timeouts... or go for the end-zone, regardless of time and risk of turnover?

Because, the latter would have been the only way to GUARANTEE a win. Even 3 more downs and a FG, with a minute or so less thanks to 2 minute warning and Pats timeouts, still doesn’t guarantee the Pats don’t do what they end up doing.

 

Of course... Brady can apparently get a TD with 30 seconds and no timeouts on any defense.

Converting the 3rd and 1, unless it was a pass play for a TD, was unlikely to be the difference maker by itself.

 

I don't agree with this at all.

End of day, he made the right call. Corey Moore should probably catch that ball and then we would be singing Bill's praises for trusting the defense.

I ain't buying it.

 

Secondary gave up too many busted plays...period.

 

Ok... but it still doesn’t guarantee they score a TD on that drive.

 

they only need to kill some time

 

You may be too emotional to realize it, but BOB called a hell of a game today.

He had Bellicheat/beard on their heels all day. You have to give him some damn credit. He made the right call. It didnt work out due to some fluke plays.

He made the right call to move Deshaun to QB and put together a great game plan.

Texans are going to be contenders this season if they can dig themselves out of this 1-2 hole.

I think they can beat Tennessee after today's game.

 

How much time, though?

Brady went 70 yards in under a minute.

 

We know Watson is the real deal and will only get better. Foreman should get many more carries.

Bob is a complete idiot when it comes to big decisions and play calls.

Joseph / Jackson duo is old and pretty much trash + rest of secondary.

Bouye would have been nice.

Rick and Bob will have to be fired / I also hope it happens in the middle of the season. If these 2 both don't go, we will have the same issues with any COACH that has to be around gm Rick Smith.

 

Rick saved his job with JJ Watt.

He just did it again with Deshaun Watson.

 

"I'll tell you John, it starts with me. I need to coach better, we need to execute & play better."
