Week 6 Gameday Thread: New England, not your father's Patriots

[Thorn]

...yawn...

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Let the come back begin. Give any team too many chances and they will take advantage of them. I smell an upset.

Also it is time to try and trade Jonathan Metchie. I understand him having had cancer but how long can we count on him contributing zero, nada, zilch to this team?

Who will give this team something for Metchie?

 

[DocBar]

Face it. The Texans are good, but they are nowhere near great in any facet of the game.

Good but undisciplined. They won't get far in the playoffs with all of the unnecessary penalties.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Will Anderson 6 tackles, 2 sacks and 3 TFLs in the first half!

 

[amazing80]

Let's see these boys refocus and get back to it. If Mixon is feeling good, you keep feeding him the ball. This offense is not the same with him out. #InStroudWeTrust

 

[gafftop]

Well, we struggled to score against the 31st 1-5 jags defense with Nico. We could easily be 1-4 right now. I noticed Stroud’s body language game after game seeing the offense perform poorly. Slowik isn’t being held accountable because we’re winning

Slowik would be fired if he didn’t have CJ as qb
No help from Slow

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

I don't know but he needs to be shopped around none the less! I sure wish we had Noah Brown back.

 

[Brisco_County]

This 2024 team mystifies me.

I don't want to see Pitre back next season.

 

[banned1976]

It gets to a point where Stroud has to speak up and say something to Slowik

Stroud's part of the problem. Two turnovers last week, a pick in the endzone today (whatever you feel about Schultz, he was pretty well covered). Stroud this year doesn't look like Stroud last year.

I said this weeks ago and folks wanted to jump me for it.

 

[leebigeztx]

That sack was on Kenyon Green. Why is he looking inside vs blocking the man in front of him?

 

[djohn2oo8]

There’s no accountability. Does DeMeco even have the ability to get upset? Or will he just say “Aw Shucks”?

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Who will give this team something for Metchie?

You know I was thinking about that, maybe a change of scenery for 2 players: Metchie for Mingo...call it the M&M trade, 2 young receivers still with potential that have underwhelmed so far. Topic for another thread

 

[DanielTx]

This offense

Slowik would be fired if he didn’t have CJ as qb

100%, slowik should give his paycheck to Cj every week

 

[Texansballer74]

Face it. The Texans are good, but they are nowhere near great in any facet of the game.

Well it’s only our second year with Cap, Slowik, and CJ. It takes time to build greatness

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Boutte is not a burner either...guess we have to chalk that up to everyone gets beat from time to time but damn at the end of the half?

4.5 40

They’re not even trying to target him. That’s not on Metchie.

Slowik is still growing as a coordinator. Defenses have made adjustments to combat his offense and he needs to respond in kind. The lack of running game will do him in if he can’t get it fixed. A healthy Mixon will help… but can we count on that given he was rushed back in the first place?

 

[santo]

It gets to a point where Stroud has to speak up and say something to Slowik

He did on that last drive. He tossed his helmet after talking to Slowick. You could tell Stroud was frustrated.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

It is if he’s not separating…

 

[DanielTx]

Stroud's part of the problem. Two turnovers last week, a pick in the endzone today (whatever you feel about Schultz, he was pretty well covered). Stroud this year doesn't look like Stroud last year.

Stroud has had to convert long 3rd downs multiple times in every game this season. He’s so special, he’s the best 3rd down qb in the league. Can you name another top 5 qb who oc continuously puts him in tough 3rd down situations.

 

[Marcus]

Go ahead guys, blame it on everything except the line. It all starts up front.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Azeez questionable to return due to injury

Big facemask miss on Edwards!

 

[DanielTx]

He did on that last drive. He tossed his helmet after talking to Slowick. You could tell Stroud was frustrated.

Yeah I saw that lol. Team chemistry might dip if slowik doesn’t get his sh** together

Stop it. Stroud might not be lighting it up this year but he’s one of the only reasons this team is putting up wins this year. There’s maybe 1-2 QBs in the league that elevate this team more.

 

[Bugman7star]

Hunter sighting!

 

[DocBar]

Strip sack!!!

 

[gwallaia]

Ok Capitilize

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

That sack was on Kenyon Green. Why is he looking inside vs blocking the man in front of him?

At this point, I’m putting the responsibility on the coaching staff. KY Green is a liability in pass blocking, it is what it is. They're accepting the risk or, even more concerning, admit that there's no one better to step in for him

 

[Texansballer74]

Hunter with the big time sack forcing the fumble. Yes sir

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Go ahead guys, blame it on everything except the line. It all starts up front.

I’d say the line has been blamed quite a bit this season…

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Hunter with the big time sack forcing the fumble. Yes sir

Hunter joining the sack party!

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Wouldn't be surprised if Maye ends up with an A-C shoulder injury.

 

[BattleRedBlud]

Missed blatant facemask on us. How did they not see that? Following play results in a turnover and a banged up QB.

 

[TexansFan15]

That’s the way to start the 2nd half

 

[amazing80]

Great way to start the 2nd half!

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

And here we go…

 

[gwallaia]

Ok, take charge of this game now.

 

[DocBar]

That's the way to start the 2nd half.

 

[paycheck71]

I guess the refs are on our side today...

 

[Marcus]

Slowick is not the problem.

 

[Texansballer74]

What a throw by CJ . Touchdown to Diggs

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Unsportsmanship penalty against Diggs again.

 

[JCTexan]

TD DIGGS!!!

 

[TheMatrix31]

Ah **** the game is back and I didn't switch back.

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Diggs!

 

[DocBar]

That was a tick-tacky call on Diggs.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Well I feel a LOT better now .

 

[BattleRedBlud]

That was a tick-tacky call on Diggs.

Two weeks in a row. Schulz rolls a ball at the face of a downed Bills player. Now Diggs spins the ball at the feet of a Patriots defender.
