Has anyone mentioned that a 10 point lead is not multiple TDs?


I'm feeling fairly confident, but I don't trust Gary to do the right thing. I think this will be a stinker of a game, the bulls got their swagger, the offense... well, they look like that guy trying to imitate a guy with swagger.

Kubiak went for it once on 4th & 1, didn't make it. Ginger shanks a 51 yarder. Patriots win

12-9

I predict the Texans will play a much better game this time around and use their TEs to get yards in the middle of the field when the Patriots bring the blitz. Having Graham back will be important, we need those two TEs to both block for Foster on the outside run and create a mismatch between OD and their LBs.

I think Foster gets a ton of work this time and keeps the chains moving. Lots of intermediate passes completed by Schaub, with a deep ball to AJ sprinkled in. Watt gets a bunch of hits on Brady, doing just enough to frustrate him and force uncharacteristic FG attempts by the Pats O, keeping the Texans in the game.

I think it's gonna be a classic. Texans win on a Graham FG in OT.

Since the 2nd half of the Titans game, they've scored five offensive TDs in the last 22 quarters they've played in. Now you expect them to put four up on the Pats defense that has only given up more than 20 points just one time since Nov. 18. Good to have faith I suppose.

30 points is 10 field goals.

I think everyone will predict the texans to lose by 20 and well put in a close game. I think we'll win, too

After we lost to the Ravens last year, I remember everyone saying that if we had only had a healthy Matt Schaub instead of a 3rd string rookie QB, we would have best the Ravens, won the AFC title game, and likely gone to the Super Bowl.

Well, here we are with a healthy starting QB. Rock n' roll!

I see a tough game that will come down to the last few minutes...we score with about three minutes left to go up by 7, then our defense holds.

Texans 31
Patriots 24

[Bulls on Parade]

Texans 45, Patriots 27

Our offense finally erupts for the first time in a long time.

We're going to put up an offensive clinic. Drive after drive. Believe it!

If your a pats fan, then to you the bad guys must be the Texans, so you just picked the Texans to win! Your right that is fun to say!

Patriots probably win but the Texans will show up and give them (and ESPN and the media) a scare for ruining the 80th version of Peyton vs Brady.

As long as Kubiak is the head coach, I just don't have the confidence in the Texans to be a truly superior team. A good team, yes, making lots of playoff appearances, yes. But not a team that consistently ranks among the best and brings home some super bowl trophies.

The Texans may put up a somewhat decent fight this weekend, but the NFL will get what it wants. Brady and Manning in the AFC championship game.

And this is truly a shame.

I am not the biggest Gary Kubiak fan, again, not in the fan club. I know there are a lot of achievements left on the table & there's a good possibility he won't achieve them. But take a look at what this man has done.

In 7 years, he took what was probably the most mismanaged franchise in the league and made it one of the best. He took an offense that was consistently ranked in the bottom 5 & put it consistently in the top 5. He took a defense that was consistently in the bottom 5 & for three of the last 4 years it's been top 10. We used to have a roster that couldn't make the practice squad of most teams & now our ex-players are on more starting day rosters of any other team.

It's no secret that we have problems. As Houston Texans fans, you've seen those issues since week 1. Yet despite them, he's managed to lead us to a 12-4 season, a second division title, a play-off win.

They're his players, they're his problems... understood. Doesn't change the fact that he's managed 13 wins. Some impressive, some ugly, a few disappointing losses. But come Sunday, only 8 teams are going to be playing the game we love so much & the team we love most of all will be one of them.

Based off of the start time they will be one of the last 5 standing :P

#Texans are 0-1 on FOX, 1-1 on ESPN, 2-1 on NBC, but 10-1 on CBS. Guess which network Texans-Patriots is on? Boom. Game over. Texans win.

[TheMatrix31]

Uh, well yeah, we're an AFC team. Of course we have 11 games on CBS. Hope that's just being funny.

.... As for predictions, well, if Graham is out, things might suck. Really not sure what to expect from this game. I really don't.

I don't think anyone does. The last month of the season the offense was awful. Then they almost/kinda show up in the Cincy game. They ran the ball well, dominated time of possession, but didn't score in the redzone. Now we could do that same thing again, only this score in the RZ (hopefully) or we could go back to what we were doing in the regular season. Who knows which team shows up on Sunday. I'm cautiously excited...

[TheRealJoker]

We are going to play Houston Texans football and win our 14th game of the season on Sunday!!!
