Tonight - Texans @ Patriots
 

OK, so the Pats are 2-0 and now down to their 3rd QB. Can they pull off the victory? Does Houston really go to 3-0?

I have no idea what to make of this game. And, I have to think that some of the issues at QB and the early matchups are the reason why ratings are down.

I'm pretty sure we want NE to lose, we don't need them undefeated when Brady returns - as if it really matters for them in that division.

I heard Gronk should be playing tonight. I have a feeling Blount is going to have a day.

Both of these teams can get bent, I'm going fishing tonight

To soon?

Texans by 14

I think the Texans will take it, but if not, my perception of Belichick will definitely improve even more. I've always been a "What's Belichick without Brady?" guy, but you can't deny that he's done just fine with shitty backup QBs too.

Its always too soon for the patriots, and the texans need to just fade off into the farthest reaches of my mind

Every great coach, without fail, has had great talent, and more often than not, at the QB position. Do you downgrade Shula because he had Unitas, Griese, Csonka, Marino? Walsh because he had Montana? Paul Brown because he had Jim Brown and Otto Graham?

I think Belichick winning four Super Bowls, and going to six, with an ENTIRELY different team around Brady, is enough to prove his greatness. Sure, Brady is great, but is he really FIVE more SB appearances than Marino great, when Marino had Shula? TWO MORE SB WINS greater than Peyton?

It doesn't take away from Brady's greatness to recognize Belichick is great. It also doesn't take away from Belichick's greatness to recognize Brady is great.

Hard to see the Patriots winning this, to be honest. How they do much on offense with a third string, rookie, QB, and presumably without Gronk (I doubt he plays tonight, myself) is a real issue.

I think I speak for us all when I say to you "SHUT THE **** UP" Go slob on
Bill and Gay boy on another board.

Don't kid yourself. They would have a loss right now except the kick was missed. Brady is more important than Bill. McDaniels is more important than Bill. Go look at the Bill's record with the Browns. 36-44.

Don't give me the Matt argument either. He made the playoffs with us as well with the easy schedule he had there and here.

That miserable insufferable prick always finds a way to win with his teams. He is Lombardi like and I hate his guts but he is a winner under ever circumstance. :cuss:

Texans win easy. You saw what they did to the juggernaut Chiefs offense last week. The Patriots don't have a chance. LMAO

Thank you for sharing your opinion with me. I truly care deeply about what you think and your thoughts on all matters, including my participation on this board.

Yeah, gotta give the devil his due... winning on the road against the vaunted Cardinals, without Brady or Gronk was impressive, and further proved that teams success definitely isnt all about Brady

That's more of a piss poor effort on Reid than Clowny making a play

You are truly a genious. With a win tonight, Belichick will tie Curly Lambeau with the fourth-most wins in NFL coaching history. Meanwhile, EVERY Poll over the last ten or so years ranks Belichick #1 in terms of NFL head coach rankings -- even a poll of NFL head coaches and GMs.

Just a few examples:

Belichick beats the bejesus out of his former assistants. You're fine.

He's going to have Asswiler pissing backwards by half time.

Besides that, the Chiefs would have won without the fumbles with ****all for a pass rush and no Jamaal

I'm pulling for New England only because Texans just beat us so we've already lost the head to head. We gotta finish with a better record than them if it comes down to playoff birth now. We don't play NE this year and let's face it, they're probably the team to beat in the AFC. And they're surely gonna win their division so if it comes down to wild card we need Houston to lose.

The media give Bill a pass on spy gate but other fans don't. Its bullshit that his cheating is celebrated but in other sports a coach would be hammered forever. He acts like an asshole to the media and gets pass on that as well. Anyone else gets blasted. Media are a bunch dumb shits and hypocrites like NE fans.

If Gronk plays, which it looks like he will, those multiple TE sets are going to be used frequently by NE to negate that pass rush and help the running game. Brissett is good enough to throw all the underneath routes the Patriots run and hand the ball off. I think it'll be a good, close game, but the Texans still have to travel across the country and beat NE in their house. I have NE 24-20.

Vegas is LOVING that gronkowski is playing tonight. They needed more money on the Pats. Otherwise, this would have been a lopsided affair and they could have only rooted for the Pats.

I think your user name should be changed to Asterix*

I wonder what BB record is against RAC led defenses?

I'm not sure but the Texans d-line really is something else.

Well another Thurs nite game and Neon Deon still has that stupid frozen on grin on his face. Its like he fell in some Joker slime and got the pepsodent smile.

As for the game who the hell knows im not sure of Asswiper but who the heck is this guy for NE. Knowing the Pats there will be some WR- TE seeking gyro inserted in the pigskin. So I guess Pats by 7 at home.

Sanders and Irvin are just waaaay over the top obnoxious. :rolleyes:

I'm going Houston. And I think us Chiefs fans get a little perspective on our performance last weekend.

Picking the Patriots. Hoody will have that team prepared no matter how many pieces are missing.

21-17 pats.

Belichik rolls out his FB as QB and they still win.

Looked like textbook defensive holding on that last pass play to Hogan.

brissett looks like he pooped his pants

I think if I'm belichick, I challenge that.

That looks short

Texans are being pussies. You have Hopkins and Fuller. ****ing throw it

A+ job by Houston to not rush up and run a play, but to instead take a timeout that will allow Belichick to scope out the obvious: Miller didn't make it.

I'm ready to boycott McGuyver on that tagline alone.

'Mac is back?

Go **** yourself CBS.

Holy shit, what a pussy call.

Did they really just give Lamar Miller 8 carries in the first drive and he only managed 27 yards?


Yikes. I have three shares of Lamar Miller.

Except Osweilers accuracy sucks.

Pass interference on an uncatchable ball?

If that was a back shoulder throw.... it's a TD to Gronk

NFL refereeing is just atrocious

It's a fumble

I came here just to post the same thing. It wasn't even close so you have to let that play go and not blow it dead.

Should be fumble

What was taking so long?

I like and appreciate the replay system, but I can't understand why you can challenge a play where the outcome is dictated after the whistle-- eg, that fumble pileup occurred after at least one ref was blowing the whistle, and you can't be sure everyone was legitimately trying to get to the loose ball post-whistle.

It's kind of crazy to see the Patriots running that kind of offense.

Belichick could find a way to win with me at QB

mea culpa.....he did what we couldn't

Longest run by a Pats QB since 1978

Jesus, CBS.. That's making diamonds out of shit right there. A useless tweet from four years ago...

Osweiler Sucks.

Some 610 guy on Twitter: So, if Brissett wins this week, the Pats will have 2 drafted QBs win in 2 weeks yet #Chiefs can't get one for 35 years????

It's just not fair that the Pats are basically good no matter what happens.

New England is on a whole other level.

If the Chiefs make the playoffs and go back to Foxboro, it's a wrap.

One word..... Belichick

Disgusting

Hoodie is the GOAT

76-0 when leading at halftime. Damn.

I won't dispute that he's the greatest coach of all time but still, how much can he know that other NFL coaches don't? Like any team, the players have to play eventually, and it's legitimately plug and play up there in New England.

Are we closer to Osweilers floor or ceiling ???

He's insanely good at putting players in a position to win. And taking away the opponents big threats offensively.

The Chiefs lost to these jokers?

This year's Patriots team is stacked, even with the missing players. If this (Brady out for 4, JAG out after 1.5) had happened in, say 2011, the outcome would likely have been different.

NOW they challenge it, and more commercials. JFC.

How many good coaches are there really? There just aren't that many who can manage a franchise of professional athletes while having a common sense approach. Belichick makes mistakes but he's created a system where they not only play smarter than everyone else, but more importantly... everybody they bring in plays hard. You either fit in or you're out. That's probably the snowball effect of having success, but Belichick deserves credit for not screwing it up, or burning everyone out in the process.

The Texans look like garbage tonight. Certainly puts last week in a lesser perspective.

o'brian is getting his ass-weiler handed to him

I imagine Thursday night games are extremely rough for the road team

Turnover differential. That is all.

Everyone says the only reason the Patriots win is because of Brady.


I guess not.


Andy Reid couldn't outcoached Belichek's jock

The Texans look like us last Sunday. They've already made 3 big mistakes and it's not even halftime.

I thought Brady was just a system QB though.

I wish we had played this Texan team.

We did. We just made them look a lot better than they are.

Osweiler has a noodle arm.

And how did we lose to the Texans?
