Pats @ Texans
« on: December 01, 2013, 01:58:05 pm »
Time for the usual 2nd half ass-whooping. Maybe they'll surprise us this time.

Well, that (QB run for TD) was interesting. Not something that you could call with Schaub.

It surprised everyone who's been watching the Texans the past seven or eight years which apparently includes the Patriots.

And there's the 3rd-and-whatever defense we all love.

Yeah, straight dropback, makes perfect sense. So much sense that let's do it three times in a row just to make sure that NE knows where to aim.

Let's say they pick 2nd. Who do they pick? Or do they trade down to where they can pick up a Tate replacement plus a good db?

Fuck, they needed to run the Auburn tip play from last week there. What were they thinking?

More monumental dick stepping by Kubiak. Perhaps someday, when he's an old man dying in his bed, many years from now, he'll learn what a time out is. Of course he'll probably still be the Texans coach because McNair The Gutless Wonder thinks he's just a peach.

It's mind boggling how many elemental time management fuck ups he made this game. I know he always makes them, that they're an elemental component of his tenure. It's just sort of odd that someone who's been on the job longer than literally any other head coach who fucking sucks and has done nothing in the league would continue to make them.

It's like Groundhog Day with him. Every game is the first game he's ever seen.

The Houston Texans are now officially the worst team in the NFL. By any measure they are one of the worst teams in North American professional sports over the last decade.

I can't imagine this will ever change.

Antonio Smith sums up the Texans' shortcomings perfectly:

Houston defensive end Antonio Smith was skeptical of just how quickly New England's offense was able to adjust, primarily because defensive coordinator Wade Phillips had introduced several never-before-seen wrinkles.

"I'm very suspicious," Smith told a group of reporters afterwards. "I just think it will be a big coincidence if that just happened by chance. I don't know for sure, but I just know it was something that we practiced this week."

“You can tell they changed their scheme in the second half,” Smith continued, via the Houston Chronicle. “It's miraculous they changed some things on offense that keyed on what we put on this week to stop what they were doing.

“Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are among the best at their craft because they work so hard at their craft. But you have to be a descendent of ‘Tones-tradamus' to know what we put in this week to be able to change that fast. I got the only crystal ball in existence. I don't know what it is. Either teams are spying on us or something's going on.”

You would think that a Texan expressing shock and dismay that professional football teams adapt over the course of the game to what the other team is doing would be found only in an Onion article.  Sadly, we all know it's completely true.

It's not even "shock and dismay".  He's accusing the Patriots of cheating somehow.  Beyond ridiculous.

In all fairness...having your coach make adjustments in rensponse to what the other team is doing certainly qualifies as "mysterious" to a Texan.

I didn't get to see the game this week and, when I saw the score, I was more than a little irritated.  Then I saw the box score, and saw how the Patriots split was 7 & 27 in the respective halves.  Sitting and watching the inevitable comeback would've been horrible.

And it wasn't like the Texans offense couldn't score in the second half.  They split 17 and 14.  And after the offense was able to sustain a drive in the second half, the defense was able to make a few adjustments and play better (namely getting someone other than Joe Mays to cover Gronkowski).  But the Pats came out at the 2nd half kickoff and 5 plays, 2 minutes, touchdown...the Texans go 3 and out...Pats, 7 plays, 3 minutes, touchdown.  The Pats had scored two TDs to take the lead before the Texans could even get out of the locker room, and that was pretty much the game.  It was just a halftime coaching beatdown.  Belichick against Kubiak was like a heavyweight boxer against an 8-year old.  He just finally said "enough", and swatted Kubes away.

So, what happens in the first half on Thursday, which is basically the second half of a double-header with Jacksonville?

Thousands of people call the NFL Network demanding to know why a low-division high school game is on their TV.
