They got to replace Stroud right?
 
Nailed it, a fitting end to the half.

I think this is an opportunity for the Patriots to learn to be a smart playoff team.

We won most - or, maybe all - of those Super Bowls by not beating ourselves.
 
No naps in half 2 fellas, its just an 11 pt game . Can swing on on one play especially if the refs will be pushing for it
 
Officials will not call anything on Houston‘s defense. Truly disgusting.
It feels like they got instructions from above.

If the Texans DBs can mug our WRs then our DBs better get similar immunity.
 
McDaniels hasn't had Maye moving the pocket at all today. I'd like to see that. Let Maye play off-schedule a bit more. Sitting back in the pocket isn't really working.

Impressively, the defense has been even better than they were against the Chargers.
 
Davis Mills in second half?
 
Did Vrabel just give Drake a little “dig” when he answered, “he’s got to hang on to the football and *protect* the QB”!!
 
Refs won't call the PI for the Patriots...awful
 
If your the Patriots, you just run most of the 2nd half. Right?
Only averaging about 3 yards a carry ….quick screens, RB dump off….quick slants….have to keep em guessing ….. oh and Maye has to take care of the ball
 
Texans definitely need to keep Stroud out there. He has melted down and has shown no ability to win the game. But he is their franchise.
 
I see.

I still would not risk anything in those last seconds when it was clear the drive was going nowhere.

Our offense is sputtering out there.

This was gonna happen. Anyone who thought our offense would move every drive was fooling themselves.

We are 100% in control. The game wasn't gonna be won by the offense. The game plan was always: beat Stroud with defense. The rest falls into place.

It's how the Texans have lost every single game they've lost. It's because teams realized you need to beat Stroud, you don't really "beat" their defense.
