NFL Network will re-air week 14 Texans vs Pats

I'll watch. I want to see if Belichick actually called off the dogs at 21-zip or if Wade found something that worked.

.... a lot!
 
If I were Kubiak I'd make it a requirement. They should watch that game daily until Sunday.
 
I'm definitely DVRing and watching. Always a different perspective when you rewatch a game you were actually at. I felt like (at the stadium) the defense was noticeably better later in the game (obviously) but it wasn't lack of Patriot effort.
 
Vince Wilfork destroyed Ben Jones on first series. D plays decent, but penalty extends drive and instead of FG, it quickly turns to 7 despite chance at fumble recovery.
 
Interesting. Texans basically throwing at will in second series and on 1st and 10 @ the 7:54 mark we bring in T Ryan Harris at the R 2TE set where Graham would normally be, and NOBODY on the Pats D bit on the play action and Harris and co were beaten quickly for the sack on Schaub. I swear the Pats knew exactly what was coming.
 
Vince still destroying Ben Jones, but Texans passing game looked great on drive #2 but int killed drive, as we know Schaub had Foster WIDE open. Should have been 7-7.
 
3rd drive we come out slinging again perfectly. Then Schaub does not recognize their full commitment to the run and it goes for loss, then Wilfork blows up Ben Jones, blows up run...and puts us in 3rd and long and pocket collapses. Drive killed.

But the passing game IS/WAS there for the taking.
 
D is doing a good job vs run and on 1st and 2nd down. BS call against Harris on 3rd and long for Pass Interference extends their 3rd drive, and as you would expect them to, they turn their second chance quickly into 7 points.

21-0. But Its not near as hopeless as it sounds or as I remember. We absolutely had our chances to make this a game in the first half.

But our ILBs are going to get picked on alot this Sun w Gronk back. We miss you Cushing.

He's playing much better now, better than he has all year.

No doubt, he is finally 100%. That and having Reed back is big for us. I am excited to see what a difference they will make. But still, Gronk back vs our devastated ILB unit is much bigger addition for them imo.
 
The offense still throwing the ball strong for start of 2nd quarter, the run being stuffed. But, the D-Line of the Pats started to affect the passing game and deflecting balls at LOS Texans style as the quarter moves on. Two more times we move into their territory, and go for it on 4th down. Another tipped ball deflects it just enough to prevent Walter from catching and converting on one. He still should have caught it. Schaub after starting on fire loses abit of rythym toward end of quarter and reacts too soon to pressure and throws errant on 2nd 4th down try. Defenses dictated mid to end of 2nd quarter.

Jean needed to catch that ball.
Shoulda been a 30 yard gain to continue the drive there.

We should have had a first down at the Pats 33 or so.
Instead, we had to punt the ball and Welker return it 31 yards.

Then Jackson failed to recover the fumble, and the Pats scored their first TD.

Don't forget that we had Harris playing RT the whole game.
With Newton, they both will have time to catch their breath.

Also, when Gardner came in as the extra OT/TE, he sucked.
He was the reason for the sack on this drive.

Biting on the play fakes bit our asses for 7 for NE on their 2nd drive. Joseph looks slow.

It was not that JJo was low; he was playing his technique just like KJax did so many times in 2010.

Quin and Manning needed to get their act together.
If Quin comes down (because he was closer to the run flow), Manning just has got to take over the post.

No, the Pats play cover 2 on the 3yd loss and the 1yd gain by Foster,
Schaub did the right thing checking into a run there.

On the sack; it was also Harris' problem as he overset, and let the end man go around the edge a little too quickly forcing Schaub to step up as Wilfork pushed Jone back.

We stopped them on third down there; that wasn't a very good call by the ref.
It was called on Manning, actually.
Manning could have played it a little more safely; he didn't have to cut off Welker.

And please somebody needs to remember to cover Hernadez or any guy that lines up wide for the Pats.
I want to slap Wade Phillips again.
 
On 2nd and 4 on our fourth drive, their end man lined up in the neutral zone, but it wasn't called.

Harris got pancaked by a LB, resulting in no gain for Foster.
We need Newton in there, at least to keep Harris fresh.

Then Wilfork batted down the pass to foil the third down conversion.
 
There's a misconception in the NFL that if you hit or pressure someone like Brady or Rogers you shut down their game. That's only true if those pressure comes from just rushing four. If the only way you can bring pressure to elite QB by sending those extra defender by blitzing then you won't stand a chance of winning.

If Wade don't have confidence in his front four and keeps dialing blitz this game is already over.
 
Forsett needs to make a better decision on when and where to cut.

On fourth down, Walter dropped an easy pass that would have given us a first down inside their 25.

Instead, we turned the ball over on down.

Ruud is by far our best coverage LB. And i mean BY FAR. So he needs to get the start.
 
On our next drive, we had a break down in pass protection that foiled the conversion.
Either Jones or Myers needed to pick up that blitzer.
He lined up right there near the LOS.
They had to know that he's likely to come in being so close to the QB in the middle there.

Walter was open and could have had the first down easily, but Schaub was forced to throw the ball wide with the LB pounding on him and put him on the turf.

He never checked anything on the play I was talking about, that was my point. The LBs came up before the snap.
 
We forced a 3-and-out to start the second half.

Gardner and Brown both got beat, forcing Foster to cut back into trafiic for a loss of 2.

Then their CB Dennard did a good job not letting AJ lose.
AJ was running with momentum after the catch but was stopped less than a yard short of the first down.

Maybe AJ can stretch out for a first down, but since we were inside our own 20, he probably didn't want to take a chance of losing the ball there.

I think more importantly, Brooks will be getting alot of time vs Wilfork this time around, and of course we missed Graham in this game.

JJo was DEF slower in this game and it has been stated that this was his first game back from injury and was not in the same form as he is today.
