Just a beat down on so many levels.
Congratulations.
I'm sorry we couldn't give you a better game.
I think I speak for many here when I say I enjoyed having you here.
You are a knowledgeable and gracious poster.The Texans are still a team that I hope we don't have to face again, especially on the road.
So go ahead and take a couple of days and lick your wounds and get the bad taste out of your system and then come on back; there's still a lot of gr8 football to be played and discussed.
Good luck to the Texans. If the Pats don't win it I'd be happy to see your team with the Lombardi.
Huston even though they lost in the short run won. It takes games like this to mold a SB contender. The next time the texans play a big game on a big stage they won't be as aw struck? It will be more familiar and they will play more like the talented team they are.
Well, that was easy!

5) I really don't want to play these guys again...bad memories from a few years back of our December blowout of the Jets and what happened in the playoffs.
Despite what happened, I would not want to travel on the road to play Houston. Watt was great, but it was more than that -- the pocket was collapsing faster than I can remember. Brady looked out of sync for longer than usual at times.
... in Gronk and Hernandez we trust. That was their rookie year.

It was Belichick at his best. His Defensive Game Plan was sheer genius, taking away the run and play action, daring Schaub to beat him one on one and then blitzing Mayo every other play. Not for nothing has Canton already enshrined several of his D game plans.
And man JJ Watt is the best defensive player in the league by a large margin. Pure stud and even as a Pats fan I'm excited to watch him for his career.
How do you think he compares to Richard Seymour in his prime?
J.J. Watt was the guys I wanted BB to trade down a bit for and draft a few years ago. What an impressive D Beast!
Watt is just a beast. Chance it is from PEDs? Does anyone get that much better in one season? I hope it isn't, I love watching him when it isn't us.
Watt was the 11th pick of the first round in 2011...I'm pretty happy BB didn't draft down to try to get him....
JJ Watt is the best defensive end I've seen since Bruce Smith, and he may end up being better than Smith. Unreal.
Bull spit JJ Watt wasn't even the best DL on the field today! Vince Wilfork was dominant today and I will take him over JJ everyday and especially Sunday.
Of course, [Watt]’s the best defensive player in the league. So yeah, we definitely planned for him.
I have to say, I really like the Houston team. If the Pats lose at some point, I'll be rooting for them. They are just solid professionals through and through - no blame or excuses, no trash talking, no nonsense. Great balance, great play action. Love Watt, want Barwin, love Foster, love Johnson, and a host of others. It's a team I'd be proud to call my own any day. The score doesn't reflect the battle - as Patsylicious pointed out, a few bounces and/or plays early on and the game could have changed dramatically. I have no less respect for the Texans after this game than before, or if they had won.
Thanks for jogging my memory on that draft. I couldn't recall where exactly Watt was taken but I did recall it was in the first round teens but that it was closer to 17, 18. 19...... somewhere in there. 11 was a lot lower than BB is inclined to go in the first. Thanks, Joker
