    Not sure how it adds anymore pressure. Either way they have to beat NE at Foxboro. I think that's plenty to focus on and highly doubt they are looking ahead to next week.

    actually i think it did the opposite and put more pressure on the Patriots. the Ravens win should give the Texans even more confidence.

    I agree. Houston knowing if they win they get a home game next week that should be a huge motivating factor.

    Run the ball well and turn 3-4 of those NE TD's into FG's

    Whatever pressure was added to us was added to the Patriots just as much. They can now have home field for the AFC championship just like us.

    not to be a buzzkill, but the Pats have that same motivation now as well.

    Problem is I don't doubt the patriots when the pressure is on. The Texans.... Different story.

    Keys to the game:
    1. We need to score 30 points in this game. The Pats do not have a good defense, and we need to get TD's and not FG's.

    2. Watt has to have a huge game. Brady can handle blitzes from the outside, but inside pressure gives him problems. If Watt can supply consistent inside pressure we may be able to force Brady into bad decisions.

    3. Win the turnover battle.

    I was just watching the pre game interviews on Fox and if anyone thinks the Patriots are going to relax and play conservative guess again. Wes Welker made the point that after the Texans game you would've thought they lost considering how Belichick acted. They are going to come out with their foot on the gas pedal and the Texans better be prepared.

    Did any of the guys pick the Texans to win or was it the patriots across the board?

    Err I hope Texans win, but realistically the Pats are just a better team.

    Just hoping we get to see some fine football today.

    It's a day game, Schaub will be good and we are going to win.

    All the Brady knob-slobbers will jump right back on the bandwagon.

    It's all part of Kubiak's plan. He told Watt to not catch the swats until this very game. Expect 5 interceptions from him, and a win.


    ...I hope
