Bill Belichick & Tom Brady advance to 11th conf. champ. game together. No other head coach/starting QB duo since 1970 went to more than 6

This was far from a great showing. Lucky for ***weiler. Hope hogan's ok. Need him next week.

Well a $$weiler had a lot to do with people predicting a blow out. And they blew em out. Go figure. Now we can get over the "DONT OVERLOOK THE TEEXXXXANNNNZ, ANY GIVE SUNDERRRRP!" threads

Best defense in the playoffs remaining, Pats commit a ton of turnovers, still score 34 and cover the 16-point spread...

Every other defense left in the AFC playoffs (and even in the NFC) is not as good, and assuming the Pats don't repeatedly fumble and throw INTs, should do just fine for themselves.

Just hope Hogan and Bennett are okay. Gotta get Mitchell back.

I don't care. They won't face assweiler anymore either. They will face ben or smith who doesn't beat himself like ***weiler

They picked the right team to lay an egg against. Also, that's the best defense left, and really the only one to worry about except KC. The NFC defenses stink.

Is it fair to say that we have the best defense left?

Pats bye bug.

Lots of material for BBs film sessions.
And thats not a bad thing.

Some big time dodging tonight..
Hope Hogan's good to go next Sun.

We didn't play our best on offense but we still won and BB has a lot to coach to this week. KC is the only other defense that could even remotely challenge us like Houston did today.

I want Mitchell back ASAP. Floyd is not on the same page; not running through the play, alligator arms. Mitchell please, and Hogan uninjured.

I disagree about the alligator arms but he definitely is still not on the same page and to be used effectively most probably needs designed plays. On a rewatch a lot of the beat writers will see him gesturing a few times at the LOS before the snap not being sure WTF he is supposed to do. That was most visible on the snap before his 15yd OPI.

I think Mitchell would be a lot more valuable to move the sticks than Floyd.

That wasn't a blowout. If Osweiler takes care of the ball, we're freaking out. That last pick was a bad throw/decision. The score feels good, but the Texans blew a great opportunity, especially withe the Patriots' turnovers. I trust they'll be sharper next week.

It was a blowout.

Oh and that Patriots defense is legit!

Still wasn't pretty. Another QB would have taken advantage. This team's goint golfing if they bring this type of game next week.

Brady, luckily, IS the type to rebound from subpar performances & shine. Hoping that'll be the case next game. Was off, especially early

You're right - but my point is the OFFENSE scored 34 points on the Texans D despite multiple fumbles and INTs. The other AFC teams are not as good defensively as Houston. Who the QBs are for these teams makes no difference when talking strictly about their defenses.

 

[Ring 6]

There isn't a defense left that can stop our offense. And our defense stops everyone they face.

 

[VJCPatriot]

We pulled out a great win in the end. Everyone just buckled down and did their job.

Defense played awesome. Only gave up 16 points even though we basically gifted the Texans 10 of those points on 2 turnovers.

Game ball - Dion Lewis no doubt about it. He was the spark that stirred our drink.
Also first time in playoff history - Catch for TD, Kickoff return for TD, and Rush for TD!
Dion was dynamite!!

Pats played sloppy in the first half but tightened it up in the 2nd half.
Defense exposed Osweiler and forced him into 3 interceptions.
Really loving what I'm seeing from them.

Also glad to see that Bennet was not seriously hurt, we're going to continue to need him for this playoff run.

So now we wait to see if we play the Steelers or Chiefs in Foxboro!
Very nice! Go Pats!!!

That was a blowout. Not my problem you choose to ignore facts.

Imagine the Pats played a clean game.. They would have put up 45 points.

 

[JMC00]

I'm also glad Dion was the first guy to have a Rushing, Receiving and Return TD in the playoffs. At the very least it takes that potential honor away from that pregnant woman beating piece of **** tyreek hill

 

[TomPatriot]

I thought the Pats D played better than the Texans D. Pats O still scored 27 (ST scored 7) with almost 400 yards total offense. I still would rather play the Texans D than the Broncos D.

Osweiler heard footsteps all game. He needs to get over that or he's out of the League.
