Official Texans vs. Patriots Game Thread, 12/13/2015

The score is still somewhat close, but we look like a college team playing a Pro team. NE is popping off yards at will, while we're struggling for everything we get. Someone other than JJ or DHop has got to step up and start consistently making plays. If NE comes out and scores a TD on this first drive of the 2nd half, it's pretty much over with the way this O is playing. They can't seem to do anything without trickery and that's not going to beat NE.

The difference in quarterback play is no surprise. It's the guy who might be the best ever playing against a guy who is not good. Fine. Everything else, though, illustrates the difference between a real team and a pussified group of pretenders. One team wants to win, the other is just happy to suit up. One team has an owner that demands they win, the other has an owner who likes sitting in his suite looking at all the necks who buy his tickets. One team has a brilliant head coach. The other has a fake who is all talk. One team has a successful running game made up of a bunch of no-names. The other team has no running game. I'll stop there, but every couple of years we get to see a real franchise undress a team owned by a gutless pussy who's content to fleece his fanbase and never win, ever.

By the way, where's Clowney?

If we are just gonna drop back and let them complete passes and hope to come up and make the tackle Brady will dink and dunk you all night.

[Big Texas]

Easy pass to the TE thrown behind him just led to a 14 pt lead...

[Big Texas]

Under thrown again...

[Big Texas]

Just run the ball Hoyer is worse than trash...How do you just KEEP missing open receivers...

[Big Texas]

So we are throwing jump balls to Nate Washington now...

[chuck]

Hoyer 1-8 on third down. And 0-1 on fourth. I told you guys that I have no delusions about who Yates is but at least he seems to have a pair of balls.

I am firmly convinced that the Texans are a better team with Yates. They are not a good team with Yates, but they are better.

You may disagree; reasonable people might. But the idea that a guy they sign off the street is anywhere near as effective as BOB's hand-picked starter is absolutely nuts.

CAN SOMEBODY ON OFFENSE PLEASE MAKE A F'ING PLAY!!!! Yes, our QB sucks but these guys drop more passes that hit their damn hands than any team in the league. Ridiculous!!

What exactly do you expect out of this receiving core? I guess I just don't have it in me to get mad about the mediocre players we trusted in playing mediocre. Hopkins is the only skill position player we have who could start for a decent team. This loss happened in the offseason (like all of our others).
