Official Texans @ Patriots Playoff Game Thread, 1/14/2017

That's a bad throw, but Hopkins quit 3 months ago. His lack of effort has been disgusting. He aligator armed that one (and countless others). When he does catch it, he does everything he can to get down on the ground before getting tackled. I think he's slid more than our QBs this year. He runs consistently lazy routes.

It is a giant black mark on our coaching staff that he's not been held accountable in a way that's had any effect on him. He clearly decided that without the long term deal he'd play to not get hurt.

We're about to find out if they want to win or if, as I suspect, they want to save face on this horrific signing.

Literally every other quarterback in the league would be a better option than this dickhead.

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff is a touchback. Texan's ball at their 25.

----------------------------------------------

L Miller for 1.

Oz gets sacked for 9. Brings up 3rd and 18.

Pass to Hop gets 12. Texans will have to punt.

Pats return the punt to their 35. Pat's ball with 10:22 left in the game.

I've been saying the same thing...He has been none existent ALL season...teams are not afraid to press him and he is NOT getting open or even creating separation...

[chuck]

Yet last year DHop was all-world. Sure, it's Hopkins with alligator arms. All of this is Nuke's fault. By all means let him go and extend everyone else.

You dumbasses should fax your resumes in to Kirby. Who knows, when RS gets caught diddling a 14 year old maybe you too can be a GM. Just make sure you go to the right church.

Dumbasses.

It's an effort thing, plain and simple. Lazy routes. No effort. Tons of self preservation. He's either trying to play his way out of here, or he's just not going to try for a team that won't pay him. The worse thing is we did nothing about it and kept forcing the ball his way, even though he clearly didn't want it. I guess someone thought he'd be happier with catches/targets.

[Arky]

Need a stop, defense... it ain't over, yet....

-------------------------------------------------

Blount for 4.

End around to Edelman gets 13 and the 1st down.

Deep pass to Edelman is inc.

Reverse to Amendola goes for 15.

Lewis gets 9. Ball at the Texan 26.

Lewis gets 3 and the 1st down. Heath injured on the play. Bennett injured on the play. Injury timeout.

Brady's pass goes out of bounds near the goal line, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up. 7:44 left in the game.

Brady can't find a receiver and throws it away, inc. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Lewis goes left for 2 and fumbles but the Pats fall on it. Pats to go for the FG.

Gostkowski's 43-yarder is good.

Pats 34, Texans 16

I led off with saying it's a bad throw. What more do you want me to say. Osweiller is garbage. Is that all of a sudden new and noteworthy? He never should have been signed, or given a job. I've been more critical of him than anyone, and I started the day we signed him. It was obvious he was bad a year ago. Do I need to lead every post with that?

I think it's fine for me to complain about WR and QB, but you're just a colossal douche.

A couple of the rookies coming out this year will probably be very good in a few years and a couple will flame out entirely. The Texans minimize the risk of a total flameout in exchange for giving the guy veteran money. I might not have done things this way but as I said I can find a way to defend it.

Also, it gives the team the freedom to go BPA at every point in the draft. And since it looks like they're going to come away with Miller, too, they have tons of options.

You're an idiot Chuck. How can you think Rick Smith was right? Are you a flunky for Bob McNair? Why would you even want to defend those guys? You're a palm licking moron and you vote republican. What do you mean by you know he can play some? He can't play at all. But I guess you can play with your boyfriend Bob McNair and you guys can donate to the republican party together.

By no means is this ALL DHops fault...As a matter of fact a LARGE majority of the blame goes to Brock...However I don't give a shit WHO you are no one is exempt from taking the blame for their part in the loss...including DHOP.

AJ green, Julio Jones, and Antonio Brown are ELITE receivers and despite consistent double teams they put up numbers weekly. So if you wanna claim "all world" put up numbers to back it up...

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff is a touchback. Texan's ball at their 25.

----------------------------------------------------

Dump to Grimes gets 11.

Oz's pass is messed up and goes inc.

Grimes for 5. 3rd and 5 coming up.

Pass to Fido goes to the Pats 42, 1st down.

Pass to Grimes gets 10, 1st down. Ball at the Pat 32.

Oz can't find a receiver and scrambles for a couple but a flag is down.... holding on Clark, -10. 1st and 20 coming up.

Screen to Grimes gets about 15. 2nd and 5 coming up with 3:29 left in the game.

And Oz does the overthrow for the INT. Pats bring it back to their 34. Pat's ball with 3:08 left in the game.

[barrett]

Did I do that right Chuck? Were the random political remarks random enough? Were the insults sufficiently colorful and obscure?

[Arky]

Blount for 1.

Blount gets loose for 18, 1st down. Ball at the Texan 47.

2 minute warning.

--------------------------------------------------------

Pats are kneeling it.

Final score:

Pats 34, Texans 16

Pats were ripe for the plucking but the bad Jags (Texans) team showed up in the second half....

I was being a fan, dickhead. I wanted BO to work. He didn't. He sucks as much dick as Baldy does. I was measured.

If I try hard enough I can find a way to defend this.

Can we say I was not overly enthusiastic?

Suck my dick, you revisionist prick.

[chuck]

****************ing idiots can't even cover the spread. Of course Baldy McNeck will keep everyone around, outSTANDing job. **************** me, Izzo is head coaching material around here.

[barrett]

You're borderline Pavlovian on this stuff Chuck. I say a post criticizing Brock, Hopkins, and our coaching staff and you don't think I'm sufficiently negative in the right direction, so you start raving about Bob McNair and republicans.

In the mind of a sane person there is absolutely no connection between my post and your response.

WTF is wrong with you? Are you a fan of the team? Do you think they're in a place where they can realistically challenge for the AFC title next year? Yes? you're a lunatic. No? you're a troll.

What's your issue with me? That I hate McNair? I do. I own it. What else?

[chuck]

BOB's offense has regressed each year. He's an offensive coach. They have no QB. Whose fault is that? Only Baldy McNeck knows.

Is it that hard to figure out? I made a post about Hopkins and you went raving mad and insulted me a dozen different ways about stuff that had nothing to do with me. Now you ask what my problem is?

I wasn't even responding to you, you goon. I was talking to Big Tex.

Of course if your ego requires it go ahead and assume that everything I say involves you.
