Official Texans @ Patriots Game Thread, 12/10/2012

Edelman out and Grongowski likely out might slow down Pats ST and scoring a little as well.?

Sounds like the same kind of weather we had in ChiTown ?

I don't know why but I'm starting to feel better about this one. Does anyone have anything on JJo and Ball? I cannot believe I'm worried about whether or not Alan Ball will play. And that I still feel OK about the game.

JJo is supposed to be a go, I'm not sure on Ball.

JJo is a go, barring a set back between now and Monday.
Ball is questionable, and a GTD.
Newton and Reed already ruled out.

I'm thinking 31-24 Pats, which is about the same margin I predicted for a Bear victory when we traveled there to play that Sunday night game, so I hope my
call on this game is just as inaccurate as that one was. Really my biggest concern is that we come back to Houston really flat after a disappointing loss tonight, have a short week to get ready for Indy, and then lose to them in Reliant this coming Sunday.

Baltimore's OT loss to Washington takes some of the pressure off. If we win, we've got this pretty much nailed down.

Win or lose, we'll still be first in the conference with three games to play. I just hope we have the answers for Andrew Luck and can break our hex in Indy. I don't want to hear for the next decade that we kept drafting d-linemen too early because "we have to get to Andrew Luck".
