Schaub sucks because Wilfork's abusing the right side of the OL.

This game is not out of hand but if the Pats score again before the Texans do it will be.

Of course I was thinking the same thing at the half of the Green Bay game. I guess I'm an eternal optimist.

I think so, too. He's streaky though....

Hopefully this is like the Arizona game in 2009. Except not with Chris Brown being impotent and not being able to get it across the line from one yard out three times in a row.

[Arky]

Pats down the ensuing kickoff in the endzone. Pats ball at their 20.

------------------------------

30-yard pass to Welker off the mark, inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Vereen dances for 9. 3rd and 1 coming up.

Vereen gets 3 and the 1st down.

Brady's pass over the middle inc. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Vereen for 2. 3rd and 8 coming up.

Deep pass to Stallworth off the mark, inc. Pats have to punt.

Martin fields the punt and is tackled at the 18. Flag on GQ for holding on the return. Half the distance, places the ball at the Texan 9.

So you think the Texans might get close to the goal line?

[Arky]

Foster for 3.

Foster caught for loss of 2. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Pass to AJ just gets 9. Texans have to punt.

Welker returns the punt to the Pats 26. Pats ball.

You're down to Tom Brady 3 TDs in the second half and you run it up the middle twice in a 3 and out ?

[chuck]

Kubiak is reverting to his inner idiot.

When their best CB is out. What an idiot.

Nope. Not tonight. That's why I stopped watching.

Amen. This is the worst game plan I've seen from him in along time. Hey let's try running at Wilfork and up the gut a few more times.

Pass to Hernandez goes for 11 and the 1st down.

Short pass Welker broken up, inc. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Deep pass to Stallworth goes all the way for the TD.

9:49 left in the 3rd quarter.

[chuck]

Well, the Routt is on.

[Nconroe]

So what else can go wrong? It would be nice if something worked.

[popanot]

Yeah, let's huddle up. If that isn't conceding defeat, I don't know what is.

[nunusguy]

I've always said Tate is a better runner than Foster - he's got a real burst.

Martin does his best Jacoby Jones imitation and brings the ensuing kickoff back to the Texan 12.

Dumpoff to Foster gets 7. 2nd and 13 coming up.

Flags presnap. Pats have 12 men on the field. Half the distance. 1st and goal at the 1.

Schaub can't find a receiver and throws it away, inc. 2nd and goal coming up.
