2016-17 divisional rd

Osweiler bro there are some QBs good enough to thread a ball between four defenders but you ain't it. know your role, foo.

xpost I am thinking the defense will actually need to score

they reminds me of the 2000 MIami Dolphins w/ Jay Fiedler and Lamar Smith in that the offense needs like special accommodations to do anything

wow Clowney, damn

Holy shit Clowney

foreeeeever to throw just now. nice

pushoff by Edelman, so shocked

still a good result for the Texans going into halftime. few people thought this one would be close.

but seriously they're only scoring on a double reverse flea flicker lateral if they score again at all. their offense is so vanilla New England could shut it down in their sleep.

gonna have to win with field position and giving up passes like that won't do it

outside of their tendency to give up 40 yard pass plays, this Houston defense is playing excellently

I felt like the decision to drop back into coverage was the right one there tho

Houston's gotta be really reeling from that kick return tho.

td saving tackle by Clowney

woooooow

is New England averse to running or somethin

holyyyyyyyy shit

man that's a huge stand

unreal that the Pats didnt score a TD there

don't get why they threw on second down, that woulda been the down to run, as the defense had to sell out a little bit to account for a pass.

kick return TD would be nice here

Simms all "Osweiler has to be happy with the way he played", is he fucking high? he was mediocre as hell. 10 points scored on drives that started in field goal range, and took a clever reverse fake to get the TD.

lol Brock 13 of 20 for 83 yards. 4.2 yards/attempt. basically using their passing game as a secondary run game, not gonna cut it.

lol the spread on this game was Patriots by 16.5? wish I'd come out of gambling retirement to have taken that one.

I got in at texans +16. Considering they hadnt scored a td in the last 3 games vs the Pats that seems about right

yeah I mean Patriots could cover that easily in most iterations of this matchup but in the playoffs against the #1 defense, only takes one or two one-off mistakes not to cover even if you otherwise dominate the game.

Miller's been like the only bright spot for the offense.

ladies and gentleman, Brock Osweiler

Osweiler dropping back for 5 seconds then hitting his own guy in the knees at the line of scrimmage is pretty much Houston's offense in a nutshell

his slow reaction is a killer. the ball has to come out quick on that play, if there's nothing available, you gotta anticipate the pressure, move around, try to extend the play. i know he ain't the most mobile dude in the world but as soon as 3 seconds passed it was p obvious he was gonna fuck it up

Meanwhile Brady has 171 yards on 9 completions

man killer of a missed tackle there

Yeah watching Brock its nuts this guy got a big offseason contract, dude plays so much like a backup and I'd be shocked if hes still a starter in 2 years

welllllllllll there it is

i am just getting up to speed with this game but brady has dropped some goddamn dimes in the past few minutes

love the halftime adjustments baby!

are "halftime adjustments" basically belichick yelling DO YOUR JOB at guys?

sometimes he forgets to yell it before the game

yeah it was inevitable really. if Houston thought it was gonna be able to shut out NE the rest of the game and eventually squeeze out a TD, well, they strategized poorly

Yeah houston offense gonna have to figure something out quick or theyre gonna lose by 25

prediction of next series:

1st down: 4 yard pass in flat
2nd down: run for 3 yards
3rd down: Brock throws ball off of Patriot defender's hands

heheheh i knew it was only a matter of time before someone mentioned 'patriots day'
assumed wahlberg basically made the movie for pats to show at team movie night, i'm surprised they didn't go yet

haha that's the biggest gain of the game for the Texans

kills me that MIller has been doing his job and creating manageable situations for Brockfarmer only for him to fuck it away

ladies and gentleman, Mr......

oops

do they have any WRs that played QB in college, might be worth a try

if not, maybe still worth trying them out

cld feel that one coming

watch osswilrz throwing motion in slomo is p lol

staring at his intended target like a stalker, easy to jump that route

surely you mean nfl equipment manager godger rodell

yes him too

malcolm butler vs antonio brown is usually fun to watch but otherwise p bored of watching steelers games

turns out crippling food poisoning goes with watching alex smith play qb like a nice sauternes goes with the dessert course.

rewatching that sack on Rodgers in the 4th, I cannot believe he held onto the ball there. like 80% of the QBs in the league fumble when they get hit like that, including Rodgers who has turned it over that way many times (most notably in OT during that Wild Card game vs. Arizona). damn this game had all the elements of the gutpunch loss, except the actual loss.

weird; neither of these players are dan snyder employees
