He's always Mr negative

Wes had 4 drops. There was a 5th one that was poorly thrown by Brady that Wes made a fantastic play just to get his hands on..
Wes is allowed to have an off game. It can't be just him stepping up when a guy like Gronk is out. You have to have guys like Hernandez, Lloyd, and Hoomanawanui (in his blocking) step up to pick up the slack.
And that is what happened..
Also, he did well on punt returns, which might have been something that took up some practice time he would have otherwise spent on WR.

It seemed to me that the Texans had to practically tackle Slater to keep him from slaying their return men. He's a huge asset.
I don't think it is a coincidence that the Patriots coverage special teams have been very good this year.
In recent years, BB has brought in a lot of special teams "aces" on the cheap such as Kyle Arrington, Marquice Cole, Derrick Martin (inactive this week) and Nate Ebner to supplement studs like Matthew Slater. Tracy White was worth a draft pick as well.
Of course, some will say that Pats should be good on special teams having spent a first round pick on a special teamer in 2010.
BTW I hope I haven't jinxed them.

Re: The Official Patriots vs Texans Post game thread
What a game!! Everything is starting to come up in the hottest time of the season .
Defense kept HOU 13.5 points less than season avg , we were tougher than Texans , they had no Foster's big plays if we count out the first 2 runs and a couple of 3rd and short situations , great single man coverage on Johnson by either guys , excellent D play calls throughout all the 4 quarters...we forced many mistakes and deflected or blocked few passes vs ZERO deflected by Texans D-Line ( the best in the league as we approach week 15 ) What a game by Wilfork an Mayo.
Offense : Tom outstanding before and after the snap , reads the coverage better than anybody in the NFL and the no huddle - quick count combo is lethal for the opposite D . The double pump fake play is indeed one of the best throw of the entire season , also high trust level in Donte Stallworth (signed earlier this week ) for the TD and the biggest play in the game , but the most impressive thing of TB12 is that even in the 1st and 2nd quarter with the game still relativly close he doesn't throw passes even near to be intercepted .In the 3rd a few low risk hits on Brady and few drops by Wes settled up the stage for the home run 28 points lead the finished the game and the Texans .
Ps: 1)What a huge play calling , the PA balanced by runs demolished Texans D
2) Great game by Hernandez

Terrific game by the entire team. Was particularly happy with the D. Love their physical/nasty play. Got guys who love to hit. And Vince was just awesome. He's having an all-Pro season.

He's allowed to have an off game? Yeah sure, but he's been dropping a good amount of passes all season...
