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

[RobertWeathers]

I think its suppose to get heavier this afternoon

As of right now it'll be moderate snowfall around 5pm in Foxboro so 4th quarter could be interesting.

That’s what might keep me home for this one. I can manage the cold, but driving home along side all of the drunks in a winter squall in another story.

Enough about that damn Cooks play…they’re em route to Cancun…

 

[Toofy]

I predict a blowout today in favor of patriots . This game will be over by 3rd quarter .

 

[Gumby]

Alls I know is that one of these is in my immediate future. 2 hrs til the best weekend in football…

I see your Guiness; ….

And raise you an Andechs DoubleBock

Maye cannot panic if they get down early. That is where the Texans defense usually feasts. Keep with the run, screen game etc. Don't go away from the game plan.

A bit curious why they didn't sign D. Taylor to the 53 - with Landry hardly practicing all week (and looking washed), some new blood against a familiar OL for him seemed like a great opportunity.
Also pretty concerned for Campbell & Wilson against this front. I know I've been pushing for Brown at LG - just for a bit more beef and experience. We'll see.

Need to take of business today and a ticket to the SB should be ours. Cant believe Nix is done.

This news kinda sucks. A - for broncos and their fans and B- I would be even more miserable losing to the texans knowing the path without nix or allen to the SB existed and we didnt make much of it at home

If the Patriots lose, I believe those two will be a reason why. An extra blocker needs to be in for this game. Don't even give the Texans DL a chance to wreck the game.

today is the AFC championship game

LFG

I find it hard to imagine a path to victory for the Texans if the Patriots don't turn the ball over 2+ times

One of the best beers I've ever had. Drank several right at the Andechs Monastery. Is that being imported into the States now?

 

[Foxypats]

Huge IF though. That's not a knock on the Patriots or Maye. That is just complimenting the Texans defense. Sometimes a defense makes a great play and it's not necessarily on the offense. The opposite is true too.

i got the forecast from channel 10 boston. Snow starting around 2pm heaviest from 2-8 pm. So going by this forecast it should be snowing pretty good during the game.

 

[Dec54]

I sure hope you are right.

Me too

There’s a good chance we’re turning the ball over at least once and that’s not a knock on Patriots. I think we can win even with two turnovers but we can’t be turning it over three+ times. Focus on making Stroud turn the ball over too.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Both NE and Houston will have extra motivation today as the winner is going to win the AFC. This game is going to be intense.

 

[denverpatsfan]

One game at a time. If the Pats somehow eek out a win versus the 85 Bears reborn defense, we can discuss this Donks team in greater detail.

As others have mentioned, obviously they can't turn the ball over and give this weaker offense a short field. I am not impressed with Stroud or the coaching of this Texans team. Pats should be able to win a close game.
