The Official Patriots vs Texans game thread

This is about as complete as an hardy *****-Whooping gets.

Certainly not the way the team with the #1 record in the NFL wants to represent themselves on MNF.

Vereen is an underutilized weapon. He has tremendous potential. Tremendous potential.

Now this is a butt whippin'

I am thrilled the way the whole team has played. I really didn't expect them to win this way. I thought the game would be very competitive.

Where's the link to the score boards arguing? Someone photo shop the Gillette score board saying, "Scoreboard."

This really was a team effort from coaching to QB to the D to all the players. The OL wasn't been stellar but considering the Texans pass rush prowess and the injries, they haven't played awful either (the Texans made a plan of blitzing and hitting TB even if he connected on the pass -- gotta credit the Texans for succeeding on that point and causing Brady to be out of rhythm in some instances).

It also did not help Brady that Welker dropped multiple passes and Woodhead fumbled into the endzone. All in all Tom is and should be either 1 or 1a for MVP currently.

Great team effort tonight. Defense played great.

21-35 for 296 yards and 4 TDs/0 INT against THAT D? Sounds MVP-ish. Not exactly the Raiders they're playing.

Interesting to not that McCourty is back to CB -

Good to see the run game make a come back. Its interesting that we finally decided to go wide with our run game.

Now would be a good time to see a little Ryan Mallet. Kubiak has conceded. To his credit he's not using garbage time to rack up stats. The Pats should get some film on Mallet
