Patriots Pregame Thread Pre-Game - Divisional Round Texans at Patriots

[Ross12]

A sloppy field would seriously interfere with Houston's pass rush, and gives receivers a big advantage. If it's wet field the Patriots have a serious advantage.

1. It will slow down Houston’s pass rush - advantage NE
2. It will help receivers separate from corners - again, advantage NE since Houston will be short at WR with Collins out
3. Dome teams from the south generally don’t like snow very much

Once again - you continue to ignore the fact. Douglas was HEALTHY in that earlier New Orleans game. Hamstrings need time.

Last Sunday night against the Chargers, he had the most catches and yards since the December 1 game against the Giants. It seems that his hammy is getting better. That kind of trajectory bodes well for the next game.

Look at the game of football with some context.

I just wish Pop could remain upright after catching a pass. LOL!

I saw that Trent Brown has sat out the last two practices.

That's a shame. Would've loved to have seen the Pats tee-off on him snap after snap. How has their backup LT looked?

Brown plays RT for them.

He’s probably following his own workout regime, spending the days at a BBQ Buffet.

1-3 inches Saturday and less than an inch Sunday, the Cape will be getting most of the snow, however there is a chance it could blow back to the west but the last two days it’s actually gone more out to sea.

The Steelers’ defense of the 70’s with like 8 HOFers did not get this much ballwashing. Well they haven’t faced Drake Maye this year. And the Pats D is about to remind everyone 2 can play D.

Probably lighter than Brown

Seems a safe bet.

I was going to say, not as far to go around to the backfield

Here’s the updated forecast, as of 08:27pm Thursday. Looks like perfect playoff football weather. A southern dome team might not agree…

Sunset will be about the start of Q3. Temps will be dropping throughout the game. Winds won’t be too nasty. Winds shifting from daytime WSW to WNW overnight suggest temps will drop a bit faster than just radiational cooling. Might be getting a bit nippy by the end of the fourth quarter.

4-4 against good QBs, I would put our offense in the same catagory or higher than most of the teams listed under good QBs.

I have seen multiple comparisons by members of the media to the 2000 Ravens lol. This defense is not nearly that good. They’re good but they’re not at that level. Ridiculous

That only adds up to 17 games. The Pats played 18 games including the playoff game. Who is the poster deliberately leaving out?

Hoping for a cold one out there, and some precipitation would be welcomed. Also hoping for a commitment to Rham.

I am willing to bet that they are only looking at the regular season stats and didn’t count the Chargers

Good point because counting the Chargers would make their argument look worse. Playing games with the stats - I am shocked

This is fun and all, but anybody else who just can’t wait for Sunday?
