    If you are gonna make a game thread (official or not) that we are all going to share, it's probably best to leave your personal frustrations out of the title.

    Just not a good look IMO.

    Last time we beat them was in 2010, but i believe Watson will bring us the W this time.

    I am probably delusional, but Patriots can't make us their btch forever!!!!

    I have zero faith in this game, based on the last few years. I'd love to be surprised.

    Texans lose. Sky is falling.

    Texans 17
    Patriots 34

    Color me optimistic but I think we can handle the patriots. Their defense didn’t get better, and I think Cunningham and D.Cole will neutralize the RBs coming out of the backfield, which imo will be what the pats do to make up for their WR ‘talent’. Honey badger will be tasked with covering Gronk and I think we can keep him and Tom in check enough. I also think Deshaun overcomes BOB enough for a 31-20 win.

    That's what I'm hoping for, I just REALLY don't trust BOB to not screw it all up. The talent is there, but if your gameplan is to run a non-power back up the middle over and over again setting up as many 3rd and long situations as possible, bad things can happen.

    I agree there. OB let the Pats game and Seahawks game get away by being conservative. Finally have a qb who can win a game for u so if it’s 4th and 2 late in the 4th let DW4 have an opportunity to win it rather than giving the ball back to Russell Wilson and Brady.

    OBs offense isn't the downfall, it's his game management in close games. The offense with Watson was flowing and y'all seemed to forget(as far as being conservative), he let a rookie qb throw for a 4th and 1 in his 2nd or 3rd game. I believe in his game plan, I don't believe in his execution of what needs to happen if the game plan starts to crumble.

    It’s a Texans section of the forum, where no one else felt obligated to start a game thread until 5 days before the start of the whole season. If someone cares that much then they should start the thread* sooner.

    Last year we had no defense, now it all comes together. ..DW4 starts his MVP season going over 400yards with 3 TDs and only 1 pick which is on a Hail Mary that seems more of a long punt towards the end ...Defense looks absolutely amazingly...We win 31-7 easy

    That whole night was embarrassing. Wearing letterman jackets like they’re in high school and Andre saying that a regular season game was the biggest game in franchise history.
