Gronk makes season debut tonight for Patriots.

Jacoby Brissett starts at QB. Garoppolo will not dress. Edelman is the backup QB.

So they didn't pick up a backup QB - gutsy. On the surface it almost seems like they're just mailing this one in, but somehow they're up by 20, Houston and their high priced DL can't stop Blount and Brisset it showing himself capable of making throws when the Texans sell out against the run.

Watt is a non-entity.

SUSPEND HOODY GENIUS FOR LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not even fair to have one guy who's so much better than any coach in the NFL

It's like putting Cam Newton on a high school team.

He goes to AZ w/o his best three offensive players and beats perhaps the top NFC team on the road

After winning another game he goes and is kicking the undefeated Texans around with who at QB...Briscuit....Biscuit....Biscous.....ah...who cares...most of us have never heard of the guy.

And then having the Hoodie OC Genius by his side.......SUSPEND THEM FOR LIFE

As I wrote in my New York Times best-seller, "A BILL Tolls for New England: Inside the Competency and Genius of Bill Belichick," Belichick is a bona fide genius.

Only a fearless genius -bona fide- would go into a game with only a lone QB and a starting WR as backup.

McCarthy and Thompson would never go into a game with only Callahan. Flynn would be signed faster than I last during coition - and the last time I had coition, the evening of Super Bowl 32, I lasted all of 16 seconds.

Btw, I don't see Gronk playing much.

Btw 2, J-Mac is one arrogant motherfucker, but he sure as hell knows offense. This guy will be the Lions HC next season unless some other team offers him the title of King/GM/Coach.

Michael Irvin tweeted out of NE goes into Texans and wins tonight they should call is the Bellichek trophy

+1. Well put.

[King Friday]

Amazing how competent an offense can look when the QB is looking to get the ball out as quickly as possible...rather than wait and wait and wait and run around a little and wait and wait for someone to get open 40 yards downfield, only to throw the ball out of bounds.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I hope Lacy is a-watching this game tonight. Look at Blount. That's how a "big" back's supposed to look.

They have also tried deep. But they did that while running the ball and while max protecting. Whoever is blocking Watt should get a bonus. So should the guy helping him.

Kinda. He was 4 for 11 yards to start the game.

Michael Irvin tweeted out of NE goes into Texans and wins tonight they should call is the Bellichek trophy

He said he would re-engrave his.

Michael Irvin @michaelirvin88 Sep 21
If @Patriots beat @HoustonTexans on @NFLTNF w the 3rd QB. I will take off Lombardi & call these The Belichick Trophy��

[Guiness]

Pats punter is something else. Just hit a 47 yarder that landed inside the 5, no return.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pat Chung is still in the league? Still with the Pats?

In a black and white - mostly black - league, it's nice to catch of a glimpse of yellow now and then.

[Pugger]

NE has a nice defense but you can't turn the ball over on the road like Houston has and expect to win.

Both Watt and Clowney have both been invisible tonight.

Osweiler's been visible alright. Not for any good reasons...how does a 6'8" or whatever QB so consistently get balls batted down?
