The Patriots finally pulled their heads out of their ass and are playing aggressive on offense for a change.

The offense hasn't looked this good since week 1 against the Dolphins.

They also looked like they did some adjustments on their OL. They just looked like shit all year and now look like they got their guys doing their jobs.

That stuff for Devon Still's daughter made me tear up.

We tried every which way to lose this game today but the fact that we pulled it out was impressive. For everybody that played well, the most of them had some big screw up that could've cost us the game. Bailey made the game winner but obviously missed the game winner at the end of regulation, Romo obviously was great but also had the INT in the red zone, Murray had 150+ yards of offense but fumbled on the 10 yard line, Williams had the big TD but he dropped another easy TD, the defense was great most of the game but they let the Texans drive down the field and tie the game in about 5 plays.

It was a weird game but it's the type of game we'd have lost in previous years so in that regard I'm happy. On a random note, I thought Wilcox played really well, he made a couple of great tackles in the open field and I assume his coverage was decent considering that the Texans barely did anything through the air. Neither him or Church is the rangy, ball-hawking type of safety that I'd love to have but they're both really physical, good tacklers, and if they can just avoid the huge busts in deep coverage I'm ok with both of them back there.

As for next week, we're playing with house money at this point so whatever happens, happens. I'd love to see us give Seattle a tough battle but if we get our asses beat, whatever.

I think the team thinks just like you. House money next week. Whatever happens, happens.

What I saw today was a team that thanks to a few players can sometimes whip out a win. Overall, it was an effort that left a lot to be desired. They should have put away that shit team several times and allowed them to actually come back and tie the effing game.

If they are going to be the physical, punch you in the face, run the ball team they claim to be, they are going to have to do a better job than that against a teams that are actually explosive offensively.

At a certain point in the game we reverted back to stopping our feet and diving on the turf trying to tackle. It blew my mind. I have no idea why we started doing that crap again.

Instead, it's la-la, slap each other's butts in the showers, we're 4-1 yeeee-haaaww.

Once December comes, we're gonna get our asses handed to us for a tossed salad buffet.

Hmmm...seems like you described Michael Irvin.

I get the frustration with the lack of WR production, but you are going to have this kind of thing when you are identifying yourself as a running team.

This is not Norv Turner and Aikman running this offense.

Bryant is just fine.
Irvin averaged 15.9 per catch over a career.

Dez is around 13.8.

I don't think Dez will ever challenge for best WR in Cowboys history.

So the cheating Patriots win again. Tuck rule, spy cam cheating; they have a Jewish owner. They are despicable. What have they done since they got caught cheating? They are a collection of cunts.
