Yeah it just doesn't seem likely that the Texans have a shot, particularly when you factor in that it's likely to snow on Sunday.

The Texans actually play pretty well in snow, especially for a southern team, but yeah the Patriots are going to dunk all over them just like they always do

unfortunately at that point, the babies don't really poo poo and vomit on everything. Moms don't start producing milk until day 3-4 usually, so their poops are like glue and they don't really spit up

They look like they're swaddled under the towels

lol at everyone in Houston saying that Saturday's game proved Brock is figuring it out

He literally threw two excellent passes, a handful of ok ones, and then his usual menagerie of garbage

I liked how he threw that perfect sideline ball to Nuk and Gruden started talking about how he's been throwing those four yards OOB all season, then on the next drive he tried to throw one to Fuller and it went four yards OOB

Also Mike Vrabel is going to interview for the Rams HC job. Noooo don't go Mike :(

-Cancelled on being his friend's best man the morning of the wedding

-Hasn't spoken to any of his family for like two years

A Brock led team with a great defense just beat New England last season. New England should obviously be heavily favored at home, but come on. The Texans aren't the Browns.

The Texans were embarrassed by Jacoby Brissett this very season

Brock is literally the worst starting QB in football this season (not including spot starters, or maybe even including them). Like you could probably pop Case Keenum in this offense and it'd improve drastically

There's always a chance he has some weird good game like he did against the Bears or Packers (and lol he only threw for 202 yards against the Packers, but no picks and two TD) but I wouldn't count on it

The dude got yanked out of a game against the loving Jaguars defense

I will say that if Brock plays a clean game like he did against Oakland and has similar production, I could see the Texans having a 50-60% chance of covering

The only possible saving grace is that the defense is playing significantly better than it was the first time they played the Patriots

Watt played in that game but he was already broken by that time, supposedly he reinjured his back in the KC game but played anyway. AJ Bouye and Wilfork are also playing a lot better than they were at that point. But Kevin White is the team's best CB arguably and he's out so :shrug:

The offensive line was a lot more in flux at that point too, not that it's a very good line right now though

Both starting ILBs are poor in coverage so like Kalli said, yikes when it comes to RBs running routes

e: Plus, you know, Brady's playing in this one

I really doubt it ever was

Wasn't that just Glazer speculating?

Really need to get a better offensive coordinator next season though. The playcalling has been atrocious, both under Godsey and when BoB took over. Could argue that Brock's limitations put a shackle on playcalling though
