Texans defense taking over from the horrible CJ Stroud. Can’t believe Maye didn’t even bother to secure that ball.

It doesn’t look like the Patriots are going to run away with this.
They seem a little off today.
The second half will be a mess if it keeps snowing.

Josh Allen is the Susan Lucci of pro football.

Careful Pats, don’t knock out Stroud, his backup Davis Mills is a lot better.

Stroud is another classic case of a QB who peaked in his rookie year.

I didn’t realize how bad Stroud is. They need to bench him or it’s going to be a blowout.

Stroud won’t be back in the 2nd half. Mills will be QB.

Wow, that penalty on third down stopped the clock and the Patriots didn’t even have to take a TO.

Dumb...Dumb....Dumb!

This has always been a favorite weekend. Down to 8 pretty good teams. One problem though. One team in the games usually lies down and loses, meaning the other team doesn’t win it. The 49ers-6 points yesterday. Houston appears to be doing the same thing. After 17 games the athletes bodies just have to wear down. Just look at the injuries. How is Denver going to move on with their QB out?

Texans’ defense is keeping in the game. But they absolutely have to bench Stroud to have a chance.

I don’t get the gloom and doom amongst Bronco fans. Nix isn’t the reason they’ve gotten as far as they have.

Get a decent game-manager QB and they can still win.

38 degrees in Massachusetts where they play. No snow forecasted.
Messy weather. No doubt.
Stroud not playing well first half and made some bad decisions. See what happens in second half.

The “choose love” on the back of the helmets is really cringeworthy.

That reminds me of when Dak Prescott had “Choose Love” on his helmet, when Jordan Love and the Packers destroyed the Cowboys in the playoffs.
