Re: First Round, Playoffs?
That's why the Pats need a better running game to rely on. It's not just the Ravens pass rush to worry about, the Texans have probably the best pass rush in the league right now.
The Texans pose quite a challenge, and anyone who's underestimating them (myself included) had better take a good look at what kind of threat they pose...
I think everyone just kinda gave up when Schaub went down, but that should not be the case. They have great talent in the running game, one of the best WR's in the game, a stifling defense overall, and a great pass rush.
Even IF Yates cannot get the job done (all he has to do is manage the game, he surely looked capable at NCarolina), they now have a couple of experienced journeymen QB's in Delhomme and Garcia.
And before anyone laughs at that statement here, just remember that they BOTH could likely pick apart this defense with ease.
As a Pats fan, I am hoping that HOU runs into some kind of issue down the stretch. But so far, they have not, even with their injuries. They will be a good matchup with anyone, and whipped up the Steelers like no one's business. Even though the game was a 7 point outcome, the Texans dominated that game throughout.
