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

[Big Texas]

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...

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).

My problem is if Strong is expected to be Robin...then why is he playing so sparingly?

[Big Texas]

Bench Hoyer please...He just looks so freaking scared...

I'm seeing a lot more bad passes than dropped balls. Ideally they'd look to Nuk more and either rely on him to make plays or teach the safeties to shade to his side and then take advantage of that. But if the quarterback is inaccurate and there is no running game to speak of I'm not sure there's much you can do.

The wide receiver/tight end corps sucks, of course (like most every area of this team) but I don't see them as the primary problem.

I expect them to hang onto the ball when it's in their grasp. It's not only the WRs.
