Patriots / Texan Thread

[Jack Burton]

The Texans defense is fun to watch.

So the Texans will have Clowney, Mercilus and Watt next year? Holy crap

 

[Cowboyz88]

Unfortunately it looks like the stealers are going to the sb. But the pats usually have the steelers number. Hopefully they have it again.. if they make the sb I won't be watching.

Um, we still owe them one more for the 70's, so bring it on!

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

A 1st rounder will do it.

No way this team will advance next game.

Not so fast my friend.....they've played poorly the first half but I wouldn't kick dirt on their grave just yet. Meh...I hate them SO much. Hope they lose tonight.

 

[Diehardblues]

Gladly. They should be UP 13-10 if not for the Special Team's blunder. They've played well.

Don't forget Pats gave them 2 gift turnovers

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.

 

[Aven8]

Take away the kickoff return and Texans are leading here!

 

[StarBoyz83]

That's the last team I wanna play in the sb. They get so favored by the refs in the sb it's not even funny.

 

[tyke1doe]

Best camera shot ever.

Which?

 

[DK30]

Houston needs a QB badly.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

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.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Osweiler has to be happy about the way he played - Phil Simms

Really setting the bar high.

Can't played scared…take the game out of the Ref's hands and you have no worries.

 

[MRV52]

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

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.

 

[Fletch]

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

 

[joseephuss]

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.

 

[JD_KaPow]

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.

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.

Greatness always does get favorable calls.
