If anybody knows you can't beat Brady with FGs that should be O'Brien so maybe they will let the Texans open up their offense for better or worse to score some TDs for the game in Foxburro.

I see it opposite. How many playoff shootouts have the Patriots lost? When the Pats go down, it is in a defensive struggle, and it has everything to do with guys hitting Brady. If we don't get to him we lose by 30. If we do, we might get lucky. Either way, we aren't winning this game by opening up the playbook and winning a shootout.
