Most Theologians believe in afterlife or eternal life.

The question - Do they have NFL football there ?

And what position does Jesus play?

Are we going to get our first snow game in I can't even remember how long tonight?!?

From BOB:

"It's going to come down, on both sides of the ball, to the line of scrimmage."

In other late breaking news water is damp.

NWS changing their tune. Foxboro is right around or in that small 6-8 inch spot around the MA/RI border. "Worst" travel conditions late afternoon, seems to coincide with the Pats game. LFG.

Can our receivers get open for Drake and can Drake get time in the pocket.. low scoring game I'm thinking.

As someone who actually saw it and a coach who understands scheme and concepts I value your opinion. My understanding is it's a pressure heavy scheme that relied on big negative plays sending lots of people from everywhere. IMO it was effective at the time because it was new, but teams today see that and more all the time. I believe 20 or so today teams would strait up beat the 85 bears just because they would go 5 wide and get the ball out in 2 secs relying on YAC. Your thoughts?

I heard Evan Lazard this week say that the Texans are ranked 32nd dead last in D against QB run yardage.

Now this all makes sense. They will overcommit today and Drake will have at least 60 yards on the ground himself (if not more).

Most intricate scouting report I’ve come across thus far…





Houston allows just 17.4 points per game, but 20 points is the magic number in this game.
• Texans are 16-0 when scoring 20 or more points. I see this as a defensive stat for them; the Patriots score more than 20, and our chances are good.

Piggybacking off this, in every Texans game this season including the wildcard round, the first team to score 20 points has won 13 out of the 14 games its happened. The lone exception was the Jaguars, who in Week 10 blew a 20-3 lead in Houston to lose by a final score of 36-29.

HOU is an incredible defense. SEA is the historic defense. DVOA has 2025 SEA tracked as the 12th greatest defense since 1978

man. can you imagine if Maye goes through the HOU, DEN, and SEA defenses

And the Chargers D wasn’t chopped liver either.

It’s snowing right now. It’s one of those pretty, light snows that I hope doesn’t turn into disgusting sleet.

Need to take of business today and a ticket to the SB should be ours. Cant believe Nix is done.

Drake is going to have a huge game. Drake Maye is better than the Texans defense.

I sure hope you are right.
