If the Texans get crushed next week @ Patriots, will that spark any changes?

Peyton Manning getting to the Super Bowl is not a good bet.

J Jo, K Jax, Quinn, and Manning played well yesterday and if they can build on that it will in itself be a better game than last time. Of course Dalton isn't Brady, but we have to figure out how to try and get pressure on him "without blitzing so much". QB's like Brady can tear you apart if you depend on the blitz.

Watt put it well last night on NFL Network saying the game plan was simple. Run the ball and sustain drives to keep NE off the field, then our D has to get off the field on 3rd downs. Sounds easy right?

I think it will be a much better game than last time, and if a couple of deflections or turnovers can go our way we may just very well have a chance.

Belichick will try to take away the one thing you want to do, leaving the game in Shaub's hands. If you guys are able to run the ball, you'll likely win.

It is when it's what the average fan wants.
