I would imagine that the wind must be whipping….tough
Its definitely a tough spot for Andy, but Id trust my ST to not allow a miss kick 6. I dont mind the hail mary but with points being at a premium, I would chance the 60 whatever FG attempt
 
We have been like our QB is looking like the statue that Payton was in the end and Rodger looked like last week. We need to see him move more and use his legs or at least the THREAT of his legs. Lets see a Bootleg.
Would be interesting out of a goaline formation heavy set
 
I am surprised Maye isn’t scrambling more and just stay in the pocket. Houston D is weak against QB scramble
Particularly since he’s slumping badly in an area he was strong before which was moving around and feeling the pressure. Right now he just seems like a sitting duck every time he goes back
 
Hes playing like ****
I made fun of Allen yesterday for those TOs
Can't have it
That’s what’s killing me. I get the “Texas D is elite, what did you expect” comments but Drake’s miscues have been him having awful ball security and ****ty awareness. Both are controllable
 
Be interesting to see what adjustments Josh makes
 
I hate that Maye got an INT on that useless hail mary from a stat whore perspective
 
It'll work at some point. The Douglas throw was pretty far downfield. 20.
No that was a slant/short dig route that also proves my point. I love Drake’s downfield ability too, but this ain’t the situation for it.
 
This will be a key drive. We keep it to 3 or less and we win this game going away.
 
I wonder if Stevenson can shake the eye pain enough to get back in there today. It's not like it's something that will get re-aggravated. Pop a non-RX contact on it?
 
It's funny that the people that shook in fear about Houston's D are the same folks in a panic about Pats offense.
Exactly. We acted afraid of them early but opened it up for 2 drives and scored TDs.
Playing conservative is playing into their hands
 
Play the practices after you've put the sprinklers on for a couple of hours?

I know BB would have done something crazy like that.

Not sure what Mcdaniels did to prepare the Offense but clearly Vrabel DID prepare the Defense super well.
Bring in the snowmaking machines
 
Defense is going to have to win this game. Keep up the pressure
 
And a visor for the dirty teams like TB.

Didn’t think HOYu was dirty, but now ….,
 
Stopping them on the opening drive of the 3rd will be huge
 
The loss of Stevenson is really hindering the offense. The Texans don’t fear the run. They can just pin their ears back and rush the passer.

The good news is last week the offense looked like a disaster in the first half and McDaniels made the adjustments at halftime. So hopefully he can do so this time around. I think the Pats need one more TD or two field goals to make the lead insurmountable. After that just play to eat clock.

Of course if Davis Mills is the QB in the second half, I am not sure what that will do to the equation.
