  1. There's nothing to figure out for Texans Defense. It's a very simple defense. They just line up and come at you! No crazy scheming stunts or blitz packages…have fun with that! Everyone has been saying all you have to do is…….but it doesn't work!😂

  2. Josh needs to come up with a major creative offensive game plan. No depending on trick plays. The Texans defense looks awesome, solid; yet, they can be tired out as the game progresses. Can we somehow/sometimes use their over-pursuit against them? Our defense can really do well to disrupt Stroud. Stroud can be made to falter and make bad mistakes. Good for us. For us, HANDS, and ball protection… and then maybe some periodic hurry-up offense in the 4th quarter, to try to throw off Texans timing and defense rotation!. There are ways. We can do this!

  7. I like the idea of keeping in the extra olineman, and running mondre and henderson in the back field where we can either motion them out as WR or keep them in to passblock/ run.

  16. Patriots' offense is better/more versatile than the Texans', and quick-release plays will slowly wear out the Texas D. Nobody is better than Josh McDaniels at using your strengths against you. PATRIOTS 28 TEXANS 24 !!!

  19. Yall are saying the same thing everyone else has said and look where its gotten them. You should be scared. Buffalo said the same of Josh Allen.
