[Hilts]

New England starts it off with a pretty easy touchdown for Gronkowski. He's such a beast.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Was foreman in on that last third down?

 

[Buckna]

1st drive was a 3 and out for NE. First play for the Texans, Watson fumbles and Pats recover in the red zone. Gronkowski TD on 3rd down.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

HOU looking like poo out the gate, a terrible first series where Watson didn't really let go of the ball on an option handoff to Miller, creating a turnover, doing nothin in their second series, and then taking a grounding penalty in their own end zone on the first down of their third series.

Fans: “Brady doesn’t have any WR!”

Brady: Targets non WR with 5 of first 6 passes

Watson looking a LITTLE tentative with his cuts but overall very good

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Burkhead running with good violence with the lion's share of carries so far.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Honey Badger with the INT -- poorly thrown ball by Brady. Receiver was well-covered but ball was thrown behind him.

The ball was deflected at the LOS. Had nothing to do with where Brady threw it.

Thanks, didn't catch that. Looked like Brady was tentative with the throw trying to find his 2nd/3rd progression read.

Patriots D getting a solid pass rush

Not at all. He had White clean on a cross. Freak deflection there. Fantastic awareness by honey badger reacting across his body mid-fall, 

 

[Jayded]

Texans back to old school Texans OL. 

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

HOU D looking like they are trying to play contain -- Brady hitting all his targets underneath coverage on this series.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Patterson with some key contributions - two nice first downs in the game so far, the last to set James White up nicely on the next down for a nice TD pass underneath broken secondary coverage,

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Watson looks horrible 

 

[Jayded]

Watson needs to calm down. He’s forcing everything because the OL is getting killed. 

 

[FreeBaGeL]

How do they not stop that for a review?  How is there someone sitting up there getting paid to see if stuff needs to be reviewed and they can't do that before the whole New England offense can rush down the field and snap the ball?  That's such ineptitude.

 

[Jayded]

Pats get a break on that Gronk “catch.” Dropped it but they snapped it before replay could take a look. 

 

[Bonfire]

How does Blue still have a job?  Seems like there should be street free agents who are more talented.

 

[Jayded]

Kevin Johnson is getting ABUSED this game by every Pats receiver. 

 

[Anarchy99]

Dorsett didn’t do much most of the half then came alive on that two minute drill scoring drive. 

 

[Megaton]

Belichick is good.  Probably cut the connection from the replay booth. 

 

[Jayded]

Saw an interesting note at the half: Last season in games with Fuller starting, Watson averaged over 31 fantasy points. Without Fuller, he averaged just over 18 fantasy points. 

Fuller isn’t playing today and Watson looks rusty. New England is sitting on everything close and the Texans won’t do anything this game until they try a few shots deep to get the safeties back. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Watson looks horrible 

 

[Jayded]

New England has 12 players on the field and in comes the flag. It’s on Houston for a false start before they even came to the line. 

New England is so corrupt. 

 

[SCT]

Miller owner here.  That was some bs. 

 

[rangerforme]

Miller owner here.  That was some bs. 

Me too.  Why Blue?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Miller owner here.  That was some bs. 

I have Watson in 1 and Hopkins in another and thought he was in ?

 

[Jayded]

Not a good scene for Johnson. He was getting outplayed after being out with a concussion coming into the game and may have just suffered another.

Ugly

 

[Jayded]

Ugly

I’m surprised one of them didn’t get the new helmet flag. Could have easily given it to Johnson, but Patterson contributed as well. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Hopkins one on one and Watson decides to try a QB draw loses 3

???

 

[Jayded]

Horrible clock management by Houston. Down two TDs with 4 mins to go, they recover a fumble on the NE 20. 

Weird play calls and no sense of urgency and it takes them 2 mins to score because of sacks and no urgency. Gives them hardly any chance to win the game without an immediate stop. 

 

[Todem]

DIRTY HIT!

 

[montanagold]

Any feedback on Hogan in this game? He's a week one bust from most projections....

Ehhh Hopkins was coming down. Tough call there. Not surprised to see it called though.

Yeah on replay I agree..

Welcome to owning a NE Wideout not named Edelman

Worst. Hail Mary.  Ever.
