AFC Playoffs: Houston Texans at New England Patriots

The former infamous #1 draft choice in 1971 had three touchdowns in his three year career for the Giants. Two TDs were on kickoffs. The problem for this pick was that the Giants thought with his speed he would make a great wide receiver. Unfortunately, he had bricks for hands. He was actually a running back. There was no need to draft him number one. He would have been sitting there in later rounds if we really wanted him. He was track field fast but not a wide receiver.

And that was during the regular season. Dixon and Hixon. We need more "icons." The Patriots WR should have caught that pass. Ron Dixon in Superbowl 35 is the last one I remember.

Forgot that one. Possibly because the Ravens returned the ensuing KO for a TD IIRC.

Dwayne Harris vs. Dallas is also correct for the regular season.

For us against the Saints when he broke the all purpose yardage record.

3rd and 9, plenty of time one play after getting hit, complete downfield for a big gain. Our team doesn't make plays like this. Sigh.

Harris had a PR TD last year vs Jets. OBJ was also back to receive and faked out half the coverage.

It's a game at halftime. Guess that's about all we could ask of the Texans. I'm sure Hoodie has something up his sleeve for the second half.

with Jadeveon's pass rush

come on dude...

bunch of whining cunts.

If brock can muster SOMETHING

Is beyond pathetic and embarrassing. This is completely ridiculous.

it went 20 yards. refs are ridiculous. trying to be part of the game

perfect throw by Osweiler

.

What a useless piece of trash. That was a beautiful throw.

How do you drop that?

Golden Domer!!! Asshole!!!

throw by Osweiler. Maybe Fuller would like him to catch it as well. Terrible drop.

I remember that now.

time for the O to do something

I guess you can say this about any NFL QB but Brady's a different QB when you can hit him a bit.

In a sport with so much money on the line. How any person employed to be an official for a professional football playoff game could think a ball coming out of a hit in the back QB's hands flinging forward 15 yards is somehow a fumble, borders on someone suffering manic hallucination.

Watching on my phone.

Amazing speed but couldn't catch a cold in a hospital

hate the home run pass right after a TO at midfield. So predictable.

Perry Fewell would love that.

And he had all day to throw too

you fool.

NFL playoffs

ugggg

Osweiler was never going to do it for them. Never.

and even without doing anything near that, you take a look at a dropped TD on a perfect toss and then an INT on a poor throw about 5 mins apart and those 2 plays are now the difference between this being a down to the wire game and a 15 pt game.

2 plays.

have sucked major ass

that looked awful.

Not good.

Or not. Wow, I thought that was an ACL.

Magical!

Houston gave the Pats a game for almost 3 quarters.

Houston will have a superb defense next year with JJ Watts coming back.

Patriots vs Chiefs next week. Ought to be a good game.

Fucking sucks himself. Get the fuck outta here. Snoozer game.

are, but if I'm the Texans I cut Osweiler in the off-season. He is absolutely atrocious.

Still don't understand how they signed this guy without even bringing him for a look/interview beforehand. Just a bad decision and ineptness by them

crazy that the Texans are yet to have an above average QB.

That QB who you just witnessed tonight is under contract for $72 million ($37 guaranteed)

Hell they'd sign for an average QB at this point.

Osweiler might be the worst QB in the entire league.

Leaving him in or even starting him tonight was inexcusable from O'Brien. Everyone knows how awful he is. He does nothing well, and most things he's downright awful at.

There are for cutting him, but if the contract is structured in a friendly way I'd cut him and go after cousins (as someone on the cousins thread mentioned ). It would be a huge upgrade. And with that defense they would own the south.

Had two blocks on one damn play. Both were better than just about any one block I saw by our TE's all year!

If their offense could score some points it would be a different game, wait ....where have I heard that before?

No question. He loved both Osi and Tuck in pass coverage during the 2010 Miracle II against the Eagles too. Oh, and don't forget JPP at NT will Tuck and Osi in pass coverage. That worked well, let's blame the punter.
