I think the Chiefs D would give the Pats O fits....I know it would. Pitt's O would give their D fits. Clowney almost killed Brady again. That's twice...if there is a 3rd time they'll take him out in an ambulance.

I think you're seeing the slowing down of Brady. He's still a great quarterback, but I think it's going to be harder for him and the Patriots to make it to the Super Bowl from here on out.

I just don't see Pittsburgh getting to the Super Bowl. I can't see them getting past KC and NE on the road, if they do more power to them they'll earn it but they have the worst defense of any team left in the AFC. Houston's defense is making NE look human, Pittsburgh's defense can't do that.

Unbelievable that NE is leading. Special teams TD and 2 prayers throws by Brady.

When JJ Watt comes back, this defense will be seriously good. They should go get Romo.

A 1st rounder will do it.


Tony could win a SB for them with that D. But like I said earlier in the thread, I don't think the Jones family would be comfortable with that. Most any other team in the league but not Houston or SF or Pitt.

Trade Romo for Clowney straight up. Throw in Wentz for good measure to make sure the Texans go for it.

I expect the Pats to pull away in the 2nd half. The Texans defense has played well and they still find themselves down by 4 points.

Nice stand by Houston. I'm sure at least one person is saying they should go for this despite being stuffed twice from the one. :rolleyes:
I'll bite. Normally, yes. But the FG makes some sense here because (1) the Patriots have the better team, so they should play more conservatively and take fewer risks, and (2) one of the reasons you go for it here is that even if you don't make it, you've stuck the other team on their own 1 yard line, which means you're the most likely team to score next. But at the end of the half, there's no time to take advantage of the favorable field position, so getting the points is a better call.

The Texans had about the best half they could hope for and are still behind at the half. If I'm them, I sure wish I'd been more aggressive with the chances I did have.
