Post Game Thread Texans @ Pats....Onto the AFC Championship Game

[A Defiant Goose]

Still wasn't pretty. Another QB would have taken advantage. This team's goint golfing if they bring this type of game next week.

I'd say giving up 16 points on a bad offensive night and winning by 18 is pretty but what do I know I'm only Bill Belichick himself.

Oh and that Patriots defense is legit!

They played well but i have to keep in mind as well who the QB was but they saved the offense tonight.

Yup, seattle is out. KC is the only good defense left.

This is definitely not shaping up to be a "defenses win championships" year for the league.

It is shaping up to be a "quarterbacks win championships year."

Seems to be under the radar

Moving on, hung 34 on the Number 1 D, played like crap....this team is special, D is great...so happy to be moving on, hope to see the O next week...we'll need em

I anticipated that this game wasn't going to be easy unlike most other people who predicted an embarrassment. I was concerned that the Texans D could give us trouble and they did. But ultimately their offense is dreadful.

Awful mistakes like the fumbles and tipped interceptions and Rowe's penalty were the only way the Texans had a shot at this one. And we committed those very mistakes.

Still came away 34-16, I'm happy. I imagine that we got our ugly game out of the way. Hopefully we are much better next week.

Without Rowe's penalty, the Pats could have been ready to rout the Texans. That penalty saved the Texans.

Texans has the #1 Defense and we were able to beat that. Glad we won, but next week will be tougher!

Yep, Texans D played hard and did well out there. But when it comes down to it PPG always wins out. A stat that has been often overlooked by a lot of the mediots.

Imagine the Pats played a clean game.. They would have put up 45 points.

It would've ended something like 45-3.

 

[Banjo]

I don't want to spoil the moment but this honestly feels like the easiest path any team has ever had to a conference championship game. The hardest test this team faced came back in September.

Proud of our boys for covering that spread, tho.

This is definitely not shaping up to be a "defenses win championships" year for the league.

It is shaping up to be a "quarterbacks win championships year."

Yep. Possibly Big Ben/Brady AFCCG and Rodgers/Ryan NFCCG...if things turn out that way.

 

[Skree]

Let's think about this for a second...

We scored 34 points against arguably the league's best defense.

And we played sloppy

Good god these questions to The GOAT ****ing suck.

Just totally idiotic. Bill's reaction was good. Rowe deserved to be chewed out instantly.

As that scrum was happening I was yelling "Don't do it don't you ****ing do it - FLAG - GOD DAMIT" Just knew it would be on us

Good god these questions to The GOAT ****ing suck.

Like what ?

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Patriots didn't play great but who cares, you don't get style points for playoff wins.

I'll take another ugly game next week aslong as the Patriots have 1 more point than the Steelers/Chiefs at the end of the game.

 

[luuked]

Watching the press conference right now I gotta say Brady looks pretty pissed.

I like it..

 

[VrabelJr]

Like what ?

Ummm erm umm Julian Edelman fart ummm erm do you fart ummm erm like him?

 

[deroc5050]

There isn't a defense left that can stop our offense. And our defense stops everyone they face.

Yeah but now the true test begins as far as QB's. Say whatever you want but the Pats played a lot of below average qb's this season.

This QB sucks.. I mean he couldn't be much worse. Lossweiler.
