Our Oline is trash...NE knows that...they are pressing underneath with deep safety help over the top. This should essentially create more run lanes...BUT NOT

This has all the makings of an OL fashioned beat down...

Miller is no young(er) Arian Foster.

On 3rd and 5 at their own 45, handoff to L Miller gets 5 (thanks for the spot, ref). Ball at midfield.

Dump off to Miller gets 6 but flag is down. Illegal formation on the Texans makes it 1st and 15.

Oz throws the INT. Pats bring it back to the Texan 43.

Blount for no gain. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Brissett scrambles up the middle for 3. 3rd and 7 coming up.

McKinney with the sack! Pats will have to punt.

Ervin fair catches the punt at the Texan 10 yard line. Texan's ball.

1 time is random
Twice is a coincidence
3 times is the making of a trend...

I'm referring to our dumb ass early interceptions

Our offense so far amounts to worthless Lamar Miller runs, and really difficult Hopkins catches. At least go play action if you are going to run 2 out of 3 times.

L Miller for no gain.

Pass to Hop gets about 12 and the 1st down.

Dump off to L Miller gets 9.

L Miller rushes for 6 and the 1st down.

Pass to Hop off the mark, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Grimes for about 2. 3rd and 8 coming up.

Pass towards Griffin too long, inc. Texans to punt.

Punt is fumbled on the runback but Pats recover it. Pat's ball at their 25.

8:11 left in the half.

I honestly do not have any idea what they are trying to do.

This press coverage that NE is playing is a punch in the face...they know you can't run it on their front 7...

There really is something there to Os staring down receivers and not going through progressions. Very noticeable this game. Not good.

Sorry, at hotel bar in CA... Who the hell challeged that?!? If it's OB, WTF??!! NE recovered the ball.

No, he's not. The OL is a disaster so it is difficult for me to start singling him out but he does not seem to have the burst, the vision or the elusiveness that you'd look for in a feature back. Which is annoying because he was pretty goddamn elusive last October.

The guy is in his 10th career start. He is far from a finished product and there is no guarantee he'll ever be one. We knew that's what we were getting. Hopefully it improves over the year.

Larry Izzo, Double Agent?

OB is challenging the punt return that the returner was down before he fumbled (will push'em back 7 or 8 yards if successful)....

Refs change it. Runner down at the 18. Pat's ball.

Pass to Mitchell off the mark, inc. Brings up 2nd and 10.

Flags presnap. False start Pats, -5.

On 2nd and 15, White gets maybe 1. 3rd down 14 coming up.

Pass to Amedola gets 16 and the 1st down.

Bennett for 6 on the end around.

Blount for 1 or 2. Brings up 3rd and 3.

Blount gets 1. Brings up 4th down and the Pats will have to punt.

Ervin fair catches at the Texan 11. Texan's ball.

4:53 left in the half.

Well, I hope you're right or this was a colossal mistake.

One things for certain we will find out tonight what type of QB Brock is tonight...

I could be right and it could be a colossal mistake. I didn't like the signing and would have preferred a rookie. I thought it was an absurd amount to pay a guy with 7 average starts.

But my point in this post was we don't know what he is as a QB yet, and everyone does stuff like that in their first year as a starting QB.

Hopkins had a fantastic block on the Lamar Miller 1st down run. He is just an absolute stud.
