I don't think that's accurate. Like always, it comes down to matchups. I thought the Texans were a little overrated when they were hot last season, but they did dispatch the Ravens and Broncos with relative ease. I think the Texans simply don't match up well with the Patriots, but if they went up against other AFC teams in the playoffs, they could easily get to the Super Bowl if things went their way.

depends on how often her period falls on Sundays.
The Pat games were the prime examples of the impact of the loss of Cushing. He just allows Wade to do so many different things because of his coverage abilities. Pats TE's tore us up because we had AARP members at ILB.
Love this article on the Patriots. Even Boston's media seems to be melancholy about the team. God news for the Texans and anyone sick of Patriots in the post-season. Praise Tebow if Miami and the Jets beat them out of the playoffs.

lolololololol pats missing the playoffs ok bro
My favorite FMT stat about the Pats WRs is that the healthy receivers in camp collectively have a single catch in a Pats uniform.
Brady has played with mediocre receiving corps before, I guess if you ignore every other part of the Patriots offense it seems like a big deal.

fixed you heathen.
I don't think Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones, Ed Dickson, Visanthe Shiancoe, Tandon Doss, Deonte Thompson, and Tommy Streeter are considerably, if at all, better than Danny Amendola, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce, Kenbrell Thompkins, Julian Edelman, Daniel Fells, and Jake Ballard. Do you really believe so?

You think Thompkins makes the team? Seems to be between him, Jenkins and Aiken for the last WR spot.

There's no need to talk to your Niners-GAF brethren like that.
Halo 2 didn't have the bubble shield, you argument is invalid.
I think so. They could cut Jenkins and Aiken and still have use for them- Jenkins as a street WR ready to come in after week 2, when his salary isn't guaranteed, and Aiken on the practice squad, but reports about Thompkins have generally been too glowing. I think he'd be claimed by another team if they cut him. If Edelman stays out, I wouldn't be surprised if he landed on the PUP list and they saw what they had with Thompkins for at least the first six weeks.

Torrey Smith is 2x better than all those other players. Plus you're forgetting security blanket Ray Rice. Flaccid will have a way better year than Brady. Even without Pitta. I'd put money on it b
hahahahaahhaahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Josh Freeman, contributing to the destruction of his local ecosystem while also destroying his toilet five times a week.
I'm getting a jersey too, but from the Asians down the way. Gotta suport the hood.
No. But, you are first hoping Gronkowski is healthy for a majority of the season. Stats do point out he increased New England point per game a lot when playing. If he returns soon he still lacks a talented partner that made the NE system work so well. The point was that the group is the least experienced ever not that he lacked big name players before. It just seems the offense will be a lot less dominate.
Pats fans have no class.

The NE system has worked well without Hernandez...
Besides, the Pats had a really good running game last year, Ridley and Vereen will be great. You underestimate just how good the rest of the offense is.
By what metric? Do you think Flacco will have more passing yards, passing touchdowns, less interceptions, a higher QB rating, a higher Total QBR, more wins? I can see the Ravens having more wins than the Patriots, but I personally don't see Flacco having better numbers than Brady in any of the other categories.
Joe Flacco has never thrown for more than 25 TDs or 3,817 yards in a season. I think Brady is likely to top both of those numbers this year, even with the weakest receiving corps he's had since 2006.

Josh Freeman is Florida Man.
Florida doesn't need any more pythons from asshat pet owners like him.
I know its training camp and all but even Lance Z really likes Hopkins
http://www.thesidelineview.com/columns/nfl/texans-tuesday-morning-camp
Lance doesn't just praise players based on their draft position.

Zierlien is too emotional for my tastes.
Brennan Williams. Fucker got hurt in OTA's.
He is just passionate about the game and he doesn't come off as a homer like some other Texans writers/bloggers. One of the few media people here who will openly criticize the organization when warranted.

When have I said anything about being a Halo fan in the first place, and where did I support it over Pikmin? I've played all of the Pikmin games whereas I've literally only played 2 of the Halo games and was never head over heels about it. I dont think I'm the guy you think I am, but that's OK , I dont mind playing along.
Anyway, Bioshock DLC looks amazing. Noir/detective story in pre-collapse Rapture? YES, please
Not fully related to this:
But can someone post that hilarious Captain Munerlyn pic from the beginning of the season someone found?
It was Captain on Roddy White I believe and they shrunk him down to like 2 feet tall and it looked hilarious with him trying to tackle Roddy.
I blame part of this on Kalil and Smith getting the day off. Our first team WRs were LaFell and Armanti Edwards (;_; Smitty don't ever get hurt 4realpls) and without Kalil our OL was starting Hangman at C and Byers at RG (and by all accounts were getting their shit pushed in time and time again).

It's terrible to talk about his dead brother and all, but that was over a year ago and Smith loves to keep bringing it up as much as possible, just to show how terrible Pats fans are (Not that they were the only one saying shit like that, but that's not the point).
Dude goes out on twitter calling out the Patriots and their fans for no reason, calling out people their mothers (because he's so classy), and then gets upset that people respond to him, calling him out on his shit. And when people fire back at him, he quickly pulls out the dead brother card again.
Torrey 'Captain Pushoff' Smith is a douche.
Wish Mark Harrison was healthy to see what he can do. I can't wait to see it all unfold. Dobson is having a good camp it seems, but it's going to be interesting to see how he actually performs during a real game.
Man, son. At least he gets to catch up on all the Anime that's been coming out.

There's nothing funnier than Levine's giant ego inflating development costs on a game that should have realistically been delivered in 2-3 years and then being forced to co-opt that vision post-hoc.
The irony is just...
I get hard just thinking about it.

What an immature and sexist comment. Well done.
Yards, TDs, completion %, interceptions(more unfortunately but not by much)
