    Buccaneers were a good team to start the year. Injuries destroyed them down the stretch. They started season hot and baker was in MVP talks.

    The good news is the only QB you can trust is Matt Stafford and we wouldn’t play him til the Super Bowl. Just a bunch of nobodies.

    Man, I love this Defense, but I hope we don't start listening to the so called "pundits" who sing our praises and hype up us just to tear us down if we dont win..................I know, I know, my Texans PTSD is showing up. I really, really, really "think" we can win this game.............please make it happen. Playing the AFC Championship at NRG VS the BIlls would be my football horny moment and I am here for it....................but on the other hand I have been a Texans fan for so long I assume the worst will happen :D

    Ain't no ptsd, I'm not worried about this game, just like I wasn't worried about the Steelers. If we play the Bills next, we're not losing that game in Houston, but if we go to Denver, that might be a toss-up

    Texans going to roll the Patriots. Watching their games against Baltimore and Cleveland. It isn't a physical team.

    Check out this stat. Historically easy schedule for their defense.

    As good as Maye is, he’s still a young QB going up against a legendary defense. I think we hold them under 20, but we need at least mid-CJ to show up to win.

    Texans played a SEC type schedule and Patriots had a mountain west type

    Any game can be easily lost. However the Texans have won 10 in a row… Something has to be said for that.

    Plays in to our favor, defensive game where we can dominate

    While in general sloppy games can favor defenses, their team is probably a lot more used to playing in those conditions, so I would worry about turnovers from our offense. But also I freaking hate watching snow games because visually it's just harder to see what's going on and, in general, it kind of tamps down the athleticism of all the players on the field, so the product is less entertaining. If it results in a Texans win, then I don't care about all that. But for now I hope the snow holds off.

    Might be true, my hope is the gameplan would then be ball control. Run, play action and slants.

    Yeah, the defense is amazing, but the playoffs are different

    Snow introduces a new factor that we cannot account for. Our defense might slip, it might be harder to tackle, guys may not play as fast etc. I'd rather not have to deal with those possibilities. I have no clue how Fairbairn could make kicks in the snow. Also places more emphasis on getting to the end zone because you are likely not attempting as many FGs.

    Snow is bad for us

    Kicks I could absolutely see.
    It might slow the game down, but that favors run game and defense. That’s a style we can win

    Catch the other 2 and put those pieces of dog shiit in jail for life without parole.

    Fn disgraceful failures at life. They aren’t men, they are a waste of human existence. You contribute nothing positive to society and no one is going to miss you.
