Texecutioner
Hall of Fame
I didn't mind losing to the Patriots at all in that loss. I'm glad the Texans were hammered as well. They needed it. A good beat down like that hopefully woke them up and inspired an extra edge in practice this week. I think it will.I felt this way after the Texans got smashed by the Packers, and they responded very well for several games and then sort of lost focus a bit and got sloppy. We're a lot closer to the post season now, and a good wake up call like that game was probably the kind of humble pie a team like this needs before going into the playoffs with higher stakes against the best teams.
The Patriots crushed the Jets two seasons ago towards the end of the season in their own stadium and humiliated them. The Pats went 14-2 that season and looked unstoppable. They lost in the playoffs to the Jets though. The Patriots also lost to the Giants in the SB after beating them in the regular season the year they almost went perfect. The Texans have played them now and seen their best. They haven't played the Texans at their best. I like the Texans chances a lot more now going forward after being humbled.
I really feel like Andrew Luck is going to have his hands full this weekend against an angry team that has a to prove now.
