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

Not the prettiest game, but a win is a win and we're onto the AFC Championship game!!!!!!

Great performance by our Defense, Ryan had a great game.

Edleman and Hogan also showed up big!!!!

Let's discuss!!!

Did Martellus Bennett return to the game after his scary looking knee injury?

Yes. He also said that he's been through much worse this year & that NOTHING will deter him from his ultimate life dream. SB.

A blowout as expected. Great showing from the defense.

Given the short fields the offense kept leaving them to deal with, that was a tremendous defensive performance.

Without the turnovers, the pats blow the texans out. With the turnovers, the pats blew the texans out.

Yep

Good to have the top defense in the league to help out when the offense struggles.

Worst thing was going into next week playing a perfect game, flaws make BB and TB12 work even harder

They played like **** and still beat the spread

Anyone have an injury update on Hogan?

This year he does, but I got the sense he was talking about year-to-year, which isn't true.

Maybe.

But for 3 years the Hawks had to play the niners when the niners were not only equal but likely better and we're over here playing **** teams like the bills and jets.

This season Brady actually played in the harder division.

I for one am.glad we don't gotta deal with the Hawks twice a season. Those other 3 teams tho are cake walks.

The minute they covered the spread, I told my daughter "just watch, that's going to be the final score."

Would feel sorry for the people that bet Texans -16, that Ghost FG must have been deflating. But honestly what the hell were you doing betting Texans. STUPID IDIOTS.

What a garbage performance

funny to win by 18

The Patriots won't see a defense that good again in these playoffs.

What an emotional rollercoaster. Those deflected passes turned into interceptions were traumatizing. Defense rocked all night and the Texans finally wore down.

Likely the best defense we'll play against from here on out and we put up solid numbers.

Too many mistakes on both sides to really truly get a gauge on how could have gone if it was clean. Major props to them for stopping the run most of the game.

They definitely made waaaay more of a game out of it than I thought they would even accounting for our very costly turnovers.
