    this. just be a game manager. don't do too much. caley needs to work on the O line and playcalling and tighten up. the defense cannot save this team the whole game

    This. We bottled up Allen everytime we have played the Bills under Demeco. It will come down to our offense and we will probably be without Nico.

    Now the Texans have to face a real playoff team, they'll need CJ to not be terrible if they want a chance to win.

    This.

    For ****s sake, no flea flickers! Stop trying to be cute. Especially if Nico is out.

    Stroud has to handle the snaps like he is carrying baby Jesus, navigating King Harolds soldiers who want to end their lives.
    They'll be able to move the ball up and down. The passing game was more than fine yesterday.
    No way Gonzalez clears protocol so soon having suffered one last year. It evens out.

    Texans win 27 to 21. Victory formation at their 30 yard line. All points by the offense.

    Generational defense could legit make its mark. CJ played well besides the fumbles.. yeah BIG besides, but he doesn't typically choke postseason though. Hopefully 1st half was an anomaly and ball is protected going forward. He still def doesn't look like budding awesomeness. Just protect it without doing too much.

    29 - 13

    Patriots fans and media seem confident Christian Gonzalez will clear concussion protocol and play. Seems like his was very minor. Hope they play it safe and hold him back though.

    For good measure, I still need him to work after practice with Andrews. Dip them in water, do whatever they have to.
    I see a ton of you can win it like Dilfer emotional hot takes. That's just not the case. That team had Deuce, all world RB and another probowl RB just waiting to give him a breather. We're going to need Stroud to do what he has being doing in the playoffs since he got here.
    I thought Caley was out of his damn mind for dialing up more, and more and more passes in the 4th. Turned out well.

    Page Two Taters. We are going to drop a lump on the Pats. A Two TD win.

    We have not been good at spying QB’s. It’s led to 3 losses this year. That being said, I think we are a much better team. If CJ comes to play, we win easily. Higgins and Hutchinson are ready for prime time. Kirk made his presence known for the first time. Hope it continues.

    It's a good matchup for us. They can't run the ball. If we can and play a clean game, this is ours. BIG D!

    I believe New England's weakness this year has been their linebackers and runs up the middle. CJ doesn't need to be a hero. If our OL can keep establishing the run like they did last night, that is a button you have to hammer over and over with Marks and Chubb. San Diego's OL was too banged up this weekend to take advantage of that, but ours will be a measure better.

    As weak a SOS as New England had this year, that does work in their favor in the form of giving them irrational confidence. They will be able to put up points against our defense, but my guess is it's still around 20pts or less.

    I've got the Texans going to the Super Bowl and losing to either the Seahawks or the Rams.
