This bit by Michele is such a plant by the NFL as that movie comes out by this weekend

I thought it was Xmas Day?

 

[MechDX]

Hoyer checked for concussion

 

[LyleLanley]

Take Brady and Gronk out.

 

[Milchjon]

Brady taking a bunch of hits once again.

 

[grandjedi6]

So Watt's finally rubbing off on Clowney I see

 

[The Albatross]

Texans fans still have hope?

Clowney looks great. That's something. He's looked good second half of this year in general but hasn't had any dominant or huge games, just quietly produced.

That's something

 

[Colasante]

ok lets just run the ball and not tempt the injury gods

Or let's have Jimmy sling it to Keshawn Martin and Asante Cleveland. I'd dig that too.

 

[Tamanon]

"Defense NOT the issue with this team" as they give up 27 points.

 

[rando14]

ok lets just run the ball and not tempt the injury gods

Thats what we tried to do

 

[spyder_ur]

Just run the ball and get the hell out of this god damn stadium.

 

[LyleLanley]

Bryan Stork may be injured.

 

[Man God]

Almost worked too.

 

[The Albatross]

I thought it was Xmas Day?

I have no clue what day it actually is anymore. Expect the monologues on concussions and the NFL contribution to ramp up over the next 2 weeks

 

[Dega]

"Defense NOT the issue with this team" as they give up 27 points.

uh..


it really isn't. could always be better though.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Bryan Stork may be injured.

Neat

 

[Line_HTX]

Thats what we tried to do

I'm so sorry. I legit though Rawls was the future.

 

[Crud]

Clowney looks great. That's something. He's looked good second half of this year in general but hasn't had any dominant or huge games, just quietly produced.

That's something

That is my take away from the game mostly.

That and we game planned poorly.

TJ should start the rest of the year.

 

[Cornbread78]

Watts been pretty ineffective, think he's been double teamed on every play and then getting chopped by the TE. Clowney had dominating sack. Gronk's been fine. NOt a lot of targets, but two of them were big plays.

not hurt

Makes me very happy, I was shocked when I got the text from WEEI saying he was playing.

 

[VeryGooster]

@HoustonTexans

UPDATE: Brian Hoyer is being evaluated for a concussion.

 

[Bread]

Or let's have Jimmy sling it to Keshawn Martin and Asante Cleveland. I'd dig that too.

hmmmmm

yes

Thats what we tried to do

how did that work out for you friend

 

[eznark]

"Defense NOT the issue with this team" as they give up 27 points.

Really putting this on the defense??

 

[Man God]

uh..


it really isn't. could always be better though.

The defense was god awful until that Bengals game, and it really didn't make any sense. They've been playing great since.

Hi, Kiritobread.

 

[Dega]

Well I was talking about recently not back then.

 

[Crud]

Shady a little bitch talked all that mess before the game.

 

[Tamanon]

Really putting this on the defense??

No. I'm saying that teams can have multiple issues.

 

[Cornbread78]

Hi, Kiritobread.

Sorey duuud.

 

[coolasj19]

Yes, this is how we are going to win.
By forcing it to Hopkins.

 

[LyleLanley]

Looks like Stork is fine.

 

[Colasante]

I know he's had safety help, but Logan Ryan played damn well tonight covering DeAndre Hopkins. I never thought he could have the kind of the season he's had so far.

 

[Godslay]

Pittsburgh is playing offense about as well as any team not named Carolina, New England or Arizona. While their defense is still a not the Iron Curtain, it has been playing better. The only question, besides grabbing a wild-card spot, is their health.

Sure, it's always the dream that a wildcard team will get hot and smoke the upper seeds. That only happens to the Bengals, and Manning lead Bronco teams. Rarely happens to the Pats.

Steelers could do it, but I doubt they will.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

He's been the best corner.

 

[MechDX]

No. I'm saying that teams can have multiple issues.

Defense isnt perfect but it is a hell of a lot closer to being good than the offense is. And yes I put that squarely on Hoyer. He just becomes a quivering pussy at the slightest sign of pressure.

 

[The Albatross]

"Defense NOT the issue with this team" as they give up 27 points.

Defense hasn't been great, but the offense had a couple possessions starting in NEw England territory and didn't get points.

 

[Bread]

He's been the best corner.

in the league

 

[LyleLanley]

Put in Jimmy.

 

[Colasante]

Steelers could do it, but I doubt they will.

Ravens did it. Jets too. I don't think the Chiefs or Jets would do it this year, but I definitely think the Steelers could.

 

[coolasj19]

And the game is givin' up. Yo Pats, take your important people out!

 

[The Albatross]

Brady and Gronk better be on the bench right now.

JESUS NO TAKE OUT TOM BRADY PLEASE BILL

BILL WHY

 

[Line_HTX]

I have no clue what day it actually is anymore. Expect the monologues on concussions and the NFL contribution to ramp up over the next 2 weeks

TELL DA TRUF.

Tell da truf.

 

[Bread]

Put in Jimmy.

so stupid right now

brady take a fucking seat

 

[Starphoenix]

Steelers could do it, but I doubt they will.

I doubt they will too, but I like their chances behind Big Ben more than any other team in the AFC.

 

[Dega]

I never noticed that Godsey was in that too

 

[Milchjon]

And the game is givin' up. Yo Pats, take your important people out!

Not many of those left anyways.

 

[Crud]

Defense isnt perfect but it is a hell of a lot closer to being good than the offense is. And yes I put that squarely on Hoyer. He just becomes a quivering pussy at the slightest sign of pressure.

Yes.

Savage can handle pressure better so can Yates.

 

[Colasante]

Akiem Hicks with two sacks tonight. Another successful in-season trade for Bill. Hopefully Hicks gets a decent contract in the offseason so the Patriots can accumulate another compensatory pick.

 

[rando14]

how did that work out for you friend

*contemplates

Hmmm it could have gone better I suppose

 

[MechDX]

I never noticed that Godsey was in that too

Godslay?

 

[LyleLanley]

Please Bill, I will pay you money to put in Jimmy.
