Default Texans fans not overly confident they can beat the Patriots

MNF Pats VS Texans. Lets Predict - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum - TexansTalk.com

Seems at least from this particular forum that most Texans fans are not too confident their team will win this one,for fans of an 11-1 team. That's quite a shocker.

Didn't see much derogatory stuff about the Pats either.......seems like a decent classy fan base if you judge it by these fans.

I think to be overly confident against a team that's 20-0 in the second half of the season dating back to 2010 would be hubris. I certainly can't predict an easy victory.

Don't worry, the Niner fans are awful enough for both teams.

Well no matter what side you are on, or who you believe is better, there's no question we are very likely talking about the 2 best teams in the NFL at the moment(no offense Falcon fans). Any time you have a match up like this, it's too close to call. They seem like a smart bunch. Only the Jets fans think they can beat us every single time we face them.

For every injury question on the Pats offense, there's one on the Texans defense. There are good players on both sides that may or may not play.

Records mean nothing in a big matchup, and maybe they're just hip to that. Good for them. One of these days some of us will learn that lesson too.

Neither can anybody here unless they are pretending. Either team can walk away the winner. Both teams should be confident, and it should be a rock fight to the bitter end.

After listening to Kraft explain how 50% OF ALL NFL games are decided by 7 points or less and that 25% OF ALL NFL Games are decided by 3 points or less, I don't think I'll be taking any victories for granted.

From now on I think I'll just stick to hoping.

Unless it's the Sanchez lead Jets.

They seem pretty superstitious down there about this one.

This comes down to a few key matchups and how much injuries have thinned the depth in key areas - particularly the Patriots' receiving corps and offensive line, and the Texans' linebackers and secondary.

The Texans' offense has to keep up in this one, because that defense is not going to stop the Patriots from scoring points. It will be interesting to see if the Pats' D is any good, or just a mirage since the competition has been mediocre for the last several weeks.

It would be nice to see the Patriots' OL back to near full strength, but who knows? The signing of two OL to the Practice Squad is a bad omen.

The weather is not cooperating. This one was supposed to be a nasty weather game to really test the Texans, but it looks like it will be warm and wet.

The Texans have been bad for most of their history, so a lot of fans carry those scars. We are just learning to win and deal with success. They see failure around every corner.

This will be a game, could go either way, anyway presuming a win is overly optimistic and if either team is thinking that they have already lost.
