Gary Kubiak, offensive genius. That WR screen was pure gold. Outstanding call.

Punting the ball down the middle of the field from midfield drives me fing crazy. This team is just stupid in too many areas.

[chuck]

Welp, nice season fellas.

I guess I like this better than when the team was total dogshit. But the reality is that the team doesn't have any better chance of winning the Super Bowl than it did in 2003.

That drive hurt. Welker is something.

Kareem was trying to avoid the PI...but Welker got away with it instead...

Foster to the 1 yard line. 3rd and goal from the 1 coming up.

Foster punches it in for the TD!

Play is under review...... maybe not a TD......

Play stands, touchdown!

Pats 17, Texans 10

1:15 left in the half.

[Big Texas]

Why does it always seem like we have to work so much harder than everyone else to score...

[Nconroe]

Started with another Manning KR. Then Foster. Close but we needed that TD.

Pick 6 would be nice now.

[Arky]

Pats bring the ensuing kickoff back to their 26. Pats ball. 1:09 left in the half.

---------------------------------

Vereen for 4.

Pass to Hernandez is dropped, inc. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Brady hit by Watt during the throw, inc. Pats have to punt with 31 seconds left in the half.

Oy, Keo almost draws the roughing the punter foul. Punt goes out of bounds at the Texan 38.

[Arky]

Pass to Casey gets 9. Timeout Texans with 18 seconds left in the half.

Pass to OD goes to the Pats 42 or so.... Texans use another timeout with 11 seconds left.

Schaub's pass to OD inc. 7 seconds left...

Schaub pass to OD gets short gain. Texans use their final timeout to try the long FG try.

Graham's 55-yarder is good!

Pats 17, Texans 13

Halftime.

[chuck]

Wow. That was some leg we haven't seen.

[barrett]

How do you get a career long at his age. That is a miracle kick.

[Big Texas]

Now the chess match begins...

Nice, sweet 55 yarder by Grahm.

Kubes says gotta stay aggressive.

Overall, we got momentum going into halftime and score is close.

Exciting.
