The Seahawks will have to travel across three time zones to play an early game, and that is never an easy task. While the Jet defense may not have shown much in the first two games, they have the talent to shut down a Seattle offense that has stumbled thus far with a completely revamped offensive line still searching for effective synergy.

The Patriots take the field in the second of a three-game home stand to face the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football.

Despite conflicting reports that suggested Jimmy Garoppolo could come back and start on Thursday night, it looks like he might be back on the sidelines for this week.

In this episode, we discussed the victory for the Pats against the Dolphins, and also previewed the upcoming game against the Texans. During the show, we also discussed the play of Jimmy Garoppolo and his injury during the last game.

The New England Patriots will play the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m.

Media members were referencing ESPN’s Ed Werder’s piece that the Patriots were holding out hope that Jimmy G. may still be available to play this week during Tuesday’s presser with Bill Belichick.

After seeing Jimmy Garoppolo in pain following the shoulder injury he suffered Sunday against Miami, it looked like it might have been the final time we saw him this season before the return of suspended quarterback Tom Brady.

The Patriots return to Foxboro just four days after their win over Miami. They’ll be taking on the 2-0 Houston Texans who have been impressive

Here’s a quick rundown of this morning’s top stories as the Patriots continue getting ready to take on the Texans Thursday night.

I was expecting to find a profusion of talk about how ineffective Miami was on both sides of the ball in the first half. Instead the focus of many discussions was on the Dolphin comeback. The fact that the Patriots were trying to run out the clock with a rookie third string quarterback was glossed over. Only one article brought up the fact that Miami was unable to defeat a Patriot club playing without five key starters.

We’re going to focus just on the Patriots offense this week. The second half defense issues we’ll cover when we do our Houston breakdown of key matchups

It was essentially a tale of two halves as they totally dominated the opening thirty minutes and were holding on in the end for the victory.

For the second time in three weeks the New England Patriots will be on prime time television. The New England area will receive Denver at Cincinnati early, followed by Pittsburgh at Philadelphia for the two AFC games. Fox will predictably televise an NFC East game

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick “receives” unsolicited phone calls from quarterbacks offering their services following injury to Jimmy Garoppolo.

Instead of Garoppolo carrying the torch until Brady returns, an inexperienced rookie is at the helm of the offense.
