Game Thread -- Texans @ Patriots (Keeping an Eye on the Playoff Competition)

[JohnBKistler]

Things were lined up until two weeks ago for the Ravens to be in this conversation, that's sad for the fans.

Frankly, the Ravens don't deserve to be in the conversation with these 2 teams. Hopefully that changes over the next 3 weeks. But not right now.

Madoff is not swindling anybody anymore either. He is clean as the morning sky.

Hyperbole much?

[PainServer52]

Notes? Ngata would need a different gene pool. Wilfork is just a freak of nature. One of a kind...

I think Ngata is just as talented. Thing about him though is he seems to get hurt a lot and slow down later in the season, it seems like it always happens, while Wilfork steps his game up later in the season and in the playoffs in a big way

So Madoof is swindling people from prison, and Belichek is cheating in this game.

Check.

(whatever gets you through the night..)

Me too. Go Panthers!!!

Nice, represent!

[Captain Silver]

It's been so long since spygate, the Patriots are just that good, and their young defense is starting to get seasoned after losing players like Seymour.

They are going to be a pain in the ass for years to come, plus that shitty division they are in.

Honored to have attended the same high school as Belichick.

I am absolutely SURE that Annapolis High School has many other former students who are actually reason for pride to the school. This one is reason for shame. Just a thought.

Uh yeah....we get it...you don't like him.

Schaub looks very pedestrian tonight.

Happy feet, throwing into coverage, etc.

I don't think anyone would've thought the Pats would be up 21-0 so soon. Is it the Pats are just that great or the Texans are just that bad/overrated?

You missed the point of my post entirely. Reread.

Little of both?

Wow, way to completely miss Uli's point.

Just because (probably) the man is not cheating in this very game, he is absolved from the fact he cheated for years? He is a cheater. Point blank.

And two Patriots were caught earlier this year using banned substances. Cheating is a culture for that football team.

It's both texans have been giving up a lot of pass yards

Maybe I did...sorry. Been a long day.

Years? Really?

Got proof?

[Ravenboy2003]

Is it just me or do the Pats OT's play 3-4 yards behind the line of scrimmage when Brady is in the shotgun? I thought that was illegal.

[redmike34]

Or Belichick is that good of a coach.

Saw a crazy stat in the runup to the SB last year. Apparently Belichick is 1-5 for his career against Tom Coughlin...

Guess the Achilles heel is an apt metaphor...

[Boulderraven]

Against a quality opponent when a lot was at stake? I do think Cincinnati was a quality opponent. But Oakland? C'mon.

It has been years since the Ravens made a statement like this.

Opening day vs Pittsburgh last year.

First, I am commenting on this game, and this game only (hence, the "Game Thread"). Second, I am pretty sure any substances being used by the Patriots are being used by the Ravens.
