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

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".

Texans getting plenty hypw for game tonight.

Texans 6-0 on the road this year, Pats haven't lost at home in December in 4 years.

New upcoming dynasty against current dynasty.

Even letterman jackets on Texans getting publicity.

Patriots offense against Texans defwnse another storyline.

Should be a good, fun , exciting MNF game.

I think Texans win 27-24.

JJ. And Bulls on Parade do it, stop run and pressure Brady.

If Joseph is reasonably healthy then I like our chances. If not, it could be bad.

I asked a Raider fan friend of mine (yes, I have one) about Routt and he said, He wakes up in the morning with a flag next to his bed.

Oof, late movement on the line pushes it up to Pats by 6. Sure hope this is a Patriot-lovin' public surge rather than the sharps as I am all in on the Texans at my fake money betting website.... Yesterday/Sunday was brutal capping off a brutal week - couldn't pick a winner to save my butt....

I think this will be a tightly contested game. As usual, as long as we don't make any huge mistakes - like giving up the ball deep in our zone or allowing a big punt/kick return, I think we'll be OK and at least in the game. I think the Texans can contain Ridley and it would not surprise me in the least to see the Pats go primarily with a Woodhead pass-oriented set instead. Contain Welker to a degree and minimize the mistakes and I think we'll win.

Thirteen minutes to gametime.

Two great teams.

Can't wait to see what happens.

Let's go, baby!

Take care of the ball, play smart, keep Brady on the sidelines, no shitty throws for Schaub, MAKE TACKLES, and just don't let the Patriots win in typical late Patriot Luck fashion if they have to win tonight.

I don't know how this game will turn out. I really don't. I hope our secondary is up to the task.

That's big. They're going to make plays. It happens. Do not give them anything extra.
