**Official Game-Day Thread** Texans at Patriots Game 1, Sunday Sept 9, 2018!!

[Earl34]

Looks like Patriots are going after the LBs in coverage on TEs and RBs.

Sounds familiar? Shaky start for Cunningham

 

[Scooter]

No direct assignment on Gronk and O'Brien's playcalling ... good thing I got an early start on the whiskey.

 

[NastyNate]

3rd down pass was slightly over thrown by DW4.

Not at all dude griffin has to stay on route. He stopped like a goober

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Gonna be a long day

 

[Hervoyel]

RB with no vision, TE who never catches anything in stride. Lets hang our offense on that crap and see what happens!

 

[Speedy]

Rusty as hell. Miller with zero-vision run, emergency outlet catch for four, followed by a huge missed throw.

Not to mention they run the same freaking play they fumbled on. I see the play calling is already in mid season form.

It looked more like Griffin didn't keep running rather than DW4 overthrowing.

 

[Wolf]

Should have burned all those letterman jackets

 

[TheMatrix31]

Watch out for more of the "use worthless players for dink and dunk bullshit and then use Gronkowski" ****.

Don't know how anyone can "watch out" for it, Brady became the best QB of all-time doing the same thing for 20 years.

 

[AngryNateFTW]

Maybe Watson should have got more live reps in the preseason....

 

[Nighthawk99]

I wish Joseph would drive on those tackles instead of wait for the receiver to get to him

Fumble is definitely on Watson, but that throw was on Griffin for slowing down.

 

[Jadmakaveli]

Alright. We gotta put at least 3 up here.

Seriously

This is too typical BOB stuff. Up prepared against a really good and deciplined team.

Well hope we dont get blown out

 

[nut]

The defense looks decent so far. We need to get rid of the jitters and settle down on offense.

 

[Lucky]

It's time to expose this slow NE defense and get Watson out on the edge.

Can't beat the Patsies by scoring 3s. Definitely need 7.

Nope. Watched it four times.

Griffin should have kept running, no reason to cut to the center. Take that post and improvise to a go route. Would have been a huge gain.

 

[chicagotexan2]

Oh my god why is holding the ball so long. Throw it Watson.

Right before the big rush. Lol

Would have looked better had the Texans not given Gronk a free release on the TD. Press him at the line and give the pass rush a chance.

 

[amazing80]

Miller on the stretch!

 

[Nighthawk99]

Miller to the outside!

 

[Jadmakaveli]

THERE WE GO.

 

[PapaL]

Did we just see Miller on the outside?!?

 

[ATXtexanfan]

Something is cooking

Now this argument I can take, but we don’t know what the pattern was.

Oline looks terrible.

Sounds like you need to watch it a 5th time then. When the coverage was blown, Griffin should have kept running which would have allowed him to catch it in stride. Griffin needed way more awareness there.

 

[Nighthawk99]

Good punt

 

[gwallaia]

Since we are on topic of the 2019 Draft, we need to draft OFFENSIVE LINE.

 

[NastyNate]

Is every play going to be a slow developing seven second **** show? Run the damn ball.

You don’t know what the route was. Can’t explain it any simpler. When you have O’Brien confirm your hypothesis of the route tree, then we’ll talk.

It doesn't matter what the pattern is. Routes are there to get receivers open, but if a coverage is blown, it is up to a receiver to recognize and adapt.

 

[amazing80]

Either coverage is crazy good or Watson isn't doing a great job pre-snap. That ball needs to leave his hands when he hits his drop.

 

[Scooter]

Our new revamped offense - hope Watson can do everything.

 

[PapaL]

I expected pressure on the outsides from our tackles but interior OL is in Watson’s lap

 

[TheKDog]

Bill Obriens brand new offense looks like garbage.

Route doesn't matter when coverage is blown. Players aren't expected to be robots out there man.

 

[Texansphan]

Man, gotta catch that ball if you wanna beat the Pats.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

OB sucks

 

[Nighthawk99]

Pass pro hasn't looked bad so far, so that's good

Ok, you don’t understand this offense then. There’s a reason dumb receivers have issues with it.

Anyone seeing what's holding our #1 WR back or covered? O-line protection is not helping with giving time, but seen so little of DHOP success this game.

 

[Scooter]

or we're not running route combinations to get anyone open, instead relying on Watson picking someone out or running.

On the throw to Nuk, everyone was covered. Texans receivers with no separation as usual.

 

[PapaL]

Pats seems intent on establishing the run and neutralizing our pass rushers.

 

[disaacks3]

Crap. Let’s just hope Covington issue isn’t serious.
