Everything boils down to execution.

Hopefully, an execution is what Wade will get.

Welcome aboard Tex. It's always good to see a visiting fan.

My only problem with the Texans is that they stole our colors.

even so, no defense in this league can stop our passing attack with their base D, so the Texans have a quandary

Defenses which can play good man to man have given pats trouble in the past and with only one reliable WR in WW this could be a tough game to throw the ball .Dont trust lloyd to beat good man coverage.

Well the Texans are already without their #3 and #4 CBs, and their #1 is a gametime decision. So I think the Texans could very easily have problems with "good" man to man coverage.

Thank you for the welcome.

Forgive me for being technical; I was in the graphic arts industry for some 30 years.

Yes, the colors are very similar.

In the "old standard" four-color offset, the Pats color of PMS 289 is different from the Texans PMS 5395 in the varying of the Magenta and Black colors.

The later is a newer color; we are the new kid on the block, afterall.

The number one should play; we've been resting his hamstring.
Jonathan Joseph is certainly capable of covering Lloyd as he's been able to cover any No 1 receiver in the league.

Our no 2 Kareem JackSon has improved greatly, and he is very good in the short area; I think he can minimize Welker's impact.

Sorry you guys will miss Gronk.

So you're saying that both teams are afflicted with chronic PMS? Now that is some seriously bad attitude

Overall he's been pretty good, but he's also had a few stinkers, most notably against the Packers. I know injuries were a factor in that game, but since he's reportedly a gametime decision for this game, he apparently isn't 100% yet.

We in the Graphic Arts Industry are very familiar with the PMS jokes

True; and that is why we've been resting him the last couple of games.

We're saving him especially for you guys

I hope it's worth the wait for us, because a majority of our fans don't think we stand a chance without him.

Look, before the season started, our fan base "predicted" between 9-7 to the most opportunistic 14-2.

The 2 games pretty much everybody circled as losses, you can certainly guess.
