    They aren't the 31st ranked defense in the league right now. Not even close. In fact, the difference b/t them and Baltimore isn't that great right now.

    Why are Pats fans booing Drew Bledsoe? Yeah, he never led the team to any of circumstance, but get over it. You got your rings and you have Tom Brady now.

    Wouldn't feel bad for that chump. He called out his QB before the biggest game of the season. To top it off, the QB played great. He deserved to lose.

    Ummm, they're saying DREWWWWWWWWW. It's common for fans to shout players name that has the long U sound.

    I'll agree to disagree, I guess. The Pats were downright awful in coverage today against the same receivers that struggled to get any separation at all a week ago against Kareem Jackson and Jason Allen.

    In my view, the Texans are the favorite to win the AFC next year. If Schaub had stayed healthy, oh my.

    The Ravens had more chances, just flubbed them up. That was one sorry field goal attempt, really weak. If Brady had been pressured, I don't think it would have been close. Ravens have to be really kicking themselves. I think it is their last gasp, they are finished as a serious contender.

    Who is the Texans main competition next year in the AFC? The Pats, yeah. You have to think their defense will improve. Anyone else? Pittsburgh? I think Baltimore is done. Bengals?

    If we stay healthy, we'll be in the superbowl next season...and really, I dont think its even up for debate. Maybe a little debate, but the Texans will be the team to beat.

    In fact, I predict next season, the Ravens will have to come into Reliant for a playoff game, and they will lose! Don't know why Harbaugh didn't call a timeout. The kicker was running out there.

    Things can change really fast in the NFL. The Texans were a joke this time last year.

    Ah yes. Probably should have thought some more before posting. Consider me properly shamed.

    The Texans have a much brighter future than the Ravens. You guys ended this post-season with the exact same record as us.

    Just got to make it into the playoffs. We know what happens with favorites in the NFL.

    That's not all there is to defense. The Texans ran all over Baltimore with no QB threat, and NE did the same whenever they wanted to.
