I can't believe people are afraid of the Texans, you're getting a turnover prone quarterback at home in a playoff game you aren't going to play the Jets with a trip to the AFCCG on the line.

The defense is very good but we see these elite defenses get beat by good quarterbacks play 90% of the time for 20 years.
 
He has never had a QB not named Tom Brady go against a defense like this. Brady alone was like a second OC. Maye is very good. But he's not at that level.

McDaniels needs to come up with a gameplan for the ages.
Not yet. But he will be. He's only 24.
 
1 and done, the steeler mantra
 
Gonzo didn't get carted off and said he was fine in the locker room. Still not proof he plays but Collins' head slammed the turf hard. I knew it right away.
Plus I think the 24 hour difference in game times is a big deal working through the protocol steps.
 
that stadium emptying out
 
Stop the run. Attack the zone.

WIN
 
Rodgers always has the dumb look on his face in the playoffs.
 
Houston will be the best defense Maye has ever faced in his life. He has literally never seen what he is about to see next week.

The Pats need to play it conservative.
He played them last year, his first NFL game ever, threw 3 TD passes. Pats lost, but the Pat’s defense was ****. A whole different story this year. Maye and the Pat’s defense are much better than game 5 last year.
 
So let's assume we play the Texans. There is no denying that their pass rush is ferocious and they often do it with just 4 guys. That is why they can design some different looks at the back end. In order for our o-line to not get overwhelmed, we need an extra blocker and go with the short passing game. A game like this is when we need Tonga back. He can play the role of the fullback !!
I hope he is back. Pity that Hollins will be out another game at minimum. Haven't heard about him, if the Pats make it to the AFCC will Hollins be back ??

He could come back for AFCCG.
 
Big difference between a 23 year old with the ability to run and a 42 year old fossil.
 
Has anyone else noticed teams have cute Gatorade chicks on the sidelines? I know what those sharmuta's are up to.

Last years Texans defense is nothing like this years.

Like the difference between the 85 Bears and the Chargers.
 
Except me. Prediction:

Texans 13
Pats 10
You're the biggest clown here,bruh
I wanna see you on here after the game with your tail tucked between your legs.
But you won't. You don't have the gonads
 
Welp. As we all suspected, we get to see Houston next week. That defense is pretty scary.
