Hopkins, Miller, McKinney, Wilfork and Griffin played decent. I'm not sure anyone else was into the game. Playing calling and execution sucked. It was like watching a totally different team or one who's game plan was stolen and they never figured it out.
Definitely agree with BoB. The Texans were not prepared and the Pats were. And yes, the blame for that starts and stops with him.
Good to know John McClain still sucks at his job. "Denver Territory" Quarterback Brock Osweiler threw his fourth interception. He couldn’t get the Texans into Denver territory until 1:35 remained in the third quarter. On one drive, they had a first down at midfield and didn’t get into the Patriots’ end. Grade: F-minus http://m.chron.com/sports/texans/ar...-vs-Patriots-9241048.php?cmpid=twitter-mobile
Why sit Brock... oline was terrible... the play calling was ultra conservative. Bill Obrien did not have the team prepared.
Very frustrating to watch this offense be so aggressive with deep balls the first two weeks...then come out and do the exact opposite. The offense is now built on speed, not power...so stop calling plays like we have Lynch at RB and 2 wideouts named Kevin Walter.
Pats played with two high safeties and we couldn't run to bring them down. Also we didn't attack the soft underneath until it was way too late. That said even with Hop or possible PIs, you gotta take your shots.
That was a freaking joke. How in the world your play calling was aggressive the first 2 weeks and then ultra conservative against the mighty Patriots. And to top it off, without Tom Brady and his back up. You let a third string QB whip your butt. Very embarrassing. And I'm disappointed
Like you said, we didnt attack the middle of the field that had space. We tried waaaay to hard to establish a running game...even after it was obvious it wasnt going to do anything for us. Just too conservative...and you cant win like that. Sometimes, I really wonder what these coaches are doing, because it just seems painfully obvious that what they are trying to do just has no shot of working. And if Ryan Tannehill can pass for almost 400 yards against that defense, there is really no excuse that we struggled so hard to move the ball. The coaches need more work than the players.
I'm hoping, short week and the travelling team is a big reason why because those circumstances won't happen again this season.
The Texans probably still go 5-1, but now it'll feel like failure due to being outclassed by the Pats.
It was a tough game indeed but considering the conditions I would consider this game more of an aberration than the norm. Texans just came off an emotional and tough win against the KC Chiefs and was the traveling team on this short week. The team looked quite unprepared as expected. If the Texans didn't already have a quality win under their belt I would question how good they really are, but guys listen, Chiefs are a great team as well and we beat them down from start to finish. I trust Bill to evaluate what went wrong and have it corrected. We will still be a playoff team guys. Relax.
Being a playoff team isnt a concern...it's more that we can see, from this game, how far away we are from true contention. My expectation was to win...or at least play them close. We never sniffed that, and that tells us that, even though we can be a playoff team, we're just one of the teams, like the Bengals, that makes the playoffs but really has no shot of doing damage. Until the coaches figure things out, it'll be the same thing over and over again. OB's 3rd year, so I would like to think he has improved...but tonight shows me how far he still has to go.
I seriously thought our coaching staff purposely threw the game. It was bizarre. We're never going to beat the patriots better hope to avoid them. They're like the Rangers. shotgun,shotgun,shotgun,shotgun,shotgun,shotgun,shotgun,shotgun,shotgun. sick of it.
Patriots got blown out twice in their first 4 games of championship 2014 season. Treat it like NBA reg season. Lets just get to the playoffs and give a *** then
