4 years ago the 7-3 Patriots went to New Orleans for a Monday night showdown with the 10-0 Saints, who were eager to prove that they were for real. They humiliated us on national TV. It was an ass-kicking.
Tonight didn't go the Texans way, but you guys have a terrific team, and are having a great season. You have some amazing players to build around, and your team is reminiscent of the Patriots in many ways. They didn't talk trash, they don't make excuses, they're focused, they're balanced, they're professional. Their a team that I will be rooting for as a fan of good football.
You've also been tremendous guests on our board this week, talking football with knowledge and insight, and being courteous guests. I hope we've been gracious hosts, and that Patriot fans on your boards have been equally civil.
The Texans will learn from this, and they will probably regroup. They've shown this season that they're a tough and resilient team, and if they're truly a championship team they'll use this to get to the next level. I will fervently hope that you guys lose at least one of your next 3 games so that we don't have to face to prospect of a rematch in Houston - that could be unpleasant for us.
Good luck, and don't let one game take away from a great season.
