Excellent win. Went on the road an took care of business. Hope they heal up this week yet don't lose their edge.

Falcons and Bengals both lost so our future opponents are being fattened up for the slaughter.

The Bengals are better than I thought they were and the Falcons not as good.

Bengals lost thier top CB (Leon Hall) for the season with a torn achilles.

Really nice to see the big plays on offense and defense along with pretty solid play all around. Texans seem to be getting better every week.

With the Bengals and Ravens losing, the Texans are now the #1 seed in the AFC pecking order, winning the tie-break with Pittsburgh due to head-to-head record.

Unless the Texans run the table and go 13-3, I still think the Patriots will eventually overtake them. New England had a brutal first-half schedule but the second half is cupcake city.

Man, I just don't see it with NE. Tom Brady is Tom Brady, but I think thier D is worse than our D was last year, and as we all know, that is saying quite a bit. Certainly not saying they won't make the playoffs, or anything like that, but without a D, its going to be tough for them to win out.

Patriots remaining schedule:

vs KC (4-5)
@ PHI (3-6)
vs IND (0-9)
@ WSH (3-6)
@ DEN (4-5)
vs MIA (2-7)
vs BUF (5-4)

Care to find a loss in there for me?
