The Texans didn't convert the 4th down. This game is over.

Anyone still want to argue that New England isn't the best team?

Texans had some underrated injuries. No Garrett Graham meant no 22 personnel, a huge staple of their 1st down offense. Both starting RG and RT were out, as were 3rd & 4th CBs. They should have played better but it's not a deep team outside of RB and DL. Obviously.

I love watching New England (or any team really, GB and NYG also come to mind) when they're at their best, mowing over anyone just because they are so much better and sharper. It's like the Showtime Lakers back in the day. I hated those guys but man they were awesome.

Damn, I was down 40+ heading into the MNF game. Tom Brady almost brought me back. Unfortunately my opponent also had Arian Foster who got him just enough to get him the win. :(

That Pats offense though...jesus they are loaded. And so much fun to watch.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

I know they put up 37 on them a few weeks ago but they're still an awful offense and only scored 7 in their first matchup.

Broncos were a more rounded team before McGahee went down. Manning is only getting stronger as the season progresses, and I trust Denvers defense far more than New Englands.

One can also make a strong case for the Niners as well. Kap adds a totally new dimension to the team and I feel like he's really underrated as a pocket passer. They also have THE best defense in the league. I think the game this weekend will give us a better picture of how good both these teams are.

The Texans and Falcons are both overrated I've been saying that for the past 4-5 weeks now. Neither will make it to the SuperBowl let alone win it.

You've only been calling the Falcons overrated for 4-5 weeks? Most people got you beat by about 2 months.
