Official Texans vs. Patriots Game Thread, 10/10/2021

This team has a lot of problems, insurmountable ones, probably, since they begin with the owner, but this year's team is so much more intelligently managed than those of previous years. It's pretty striking.

It's too bad they got crossways with Deshaun because they might be able to do something with him in this horrible division. I guess the real tragedy is that they gave away so many of their best players. If they'd kept a core group around they might be pretty decent, Deshaun or no Deshaun.

Yep, the AFCS could be had this year with a team just above mediocre. Not sure the Texans qualify although beating the Pats would be a good start.

Pats score with a 52 yard FG from Folk as the half comes to a close.

Texans 15, Pats 9

2 seconds left in the half.

[Arky]

Davis Mills in the first half:

12/16, 202 yards, 12.6 avg, 2 TD, 0 INT, 156.3 rating. Sacked twice.

And I saw "zip" on a few passes.

[Arky]

Opening drive of the second half, Jones throws an INT to Lonnie Johnson. Texan's ball at the Pat 44 yard line.

Flea flicker to Conley goes for the 37 yard TD.

Extra point is good!!!!!111!!!

Texans 22, Pats 9

13:31 left in the 3rd qtr.

Weird punt attempt by the Texans gives the Pats good field position.

Pats convert it into a 52 yard FG from Folk.

Texans 22, Pats 12

8:25 left in the 3rd qtr.

[Arky]

Folk connects on a 32 yard FG for the Pats.

Texans 22, Pats 15

1:50 left in the 3rd qtr.

[Keith]

Past regime had a knack of sending good players away.

Anthony Miller and Charles Omenihu are not Deandre Hopkins and J.J. Watt, but yet neither is playing this week, either.

This staff though does seem to get guys to outperform expectations, Buffalo trip aside. Winning a division though is not the goal. Been there.
