[Official] Patriots @ Texans

Belichick vs Chick

Will this L at least be respectable?

(see @BAL)

 

Texans need a good game plan, keep the penalties to a minimum - no free passes and make them beat you.
This way you should be competitive and won't look bad if they beat you on prime time.

 

Huge game imo

 

Pats will go from being unable to score TDs to torching Romeo Crennels defense somehow. BoB will look clueless and the team will hurt itself with bonehead mistakes.

 

All the times you have had to play in Boston you finally got a game @ NRG please take advantage

 

BOB needs to win this one to get the NE monkey off his back. This could be a career changer if he can beat the Pats and give our team some serious momentum for the rest of the season. With that said, I have NO EXPECTATION that will happen and we'll likely get smoked and out smarted AGAIN.

 

New England's stregnth is their defense and Houston's strength is their offense. The Texans oline played well last week. If they play well the Texans can win.

Tom Brady isn't having a great year and they are only 22rd in rushing

 

I need to go back and re-watch the game, because people keep saying the OL played well. The OL has played like sh*t the last 2 games. They have gotten 0 push in the run game and Howard was a revolving door. I don’t know if NE is as good as their record, but I’m pretty sure their defense is really good. I would love to see Bob play up tempo the whole game and use lots of RPO in this game.

 

But Watson can also beat you from the pocket if the line holds up

 

Just win a big game bill

I will be absolutely shocked if we win this game.

I can hear it now after the loss we have to turn the page quickly and focus on Denver which that BETTER be a W.

 

Anybody know a site that will give you week to week OL grades?

 

Indy did do well against the run but when Texans opened it up they couldn't get to Watson.

 

In the grand scheme of things, a regular season win would pale in comparison to a win in the postseason, but it would be good to show we can play a good game and execute against what will most likely be a very well prepared team that executes on both sides of the ball. The downside is putting things in tape for a possible second, more meaningful, matchup in January.

 

Correct. The next most important game now is against the Titans. A 1st round bye is just about out of reach.

 

Need this game if we want any shot at a bye

 

Any bets on how much the Texans lose by?

 

Take the Pats and the points, I think that's the play

 

Thats one big “IF”..........
