POLL Patriots play Phins or Texans

[Southieinnc]

Lions were limping into the postseason
Faiders with a backup QB
Hawks limped into postseason not as bad as Lions though
Texans have Asswiper
Phins have a backup QB
Steelers don't have their normal stout defense
G-men with a one man show
Packers have a secondary with so many injuries they have a former college WR converting to CB

Not too many exciting headlines in week one outside of the cocaine spree OBJ and his boys had.

Underestimating your opponent can get you in trouble.....

I think it's gonna be Houston for the Pats and that makes me feel bad for big Vince. Poor dude has to face a slaughter from the team he'd rather still be a part of.

And coaches Vrabel and Crennell, Obrien not so much

As a Pats fan, I would rather the Fins. Houston had the best defense in football while Miami were ranked 29th. Houston defense can keep it close assuming the offense stay away from turnovers. Pats win by 3+ tds vs Miami.

Will be quite a surprise if the Dolphins can make a game of it against the Steelers.

Expecting the only really good game to watch is Giants-Packers.

Horrible WC weekend overall as a football fan, imho.


Giants @ Packers, our only hope at entertaining football.

The Saints org and coaches get a hat tip from us Pats fans. The only team to stand by Brady and the Pats during "deflategate", since the Saints suffered teh same idiotic investigation and punishment techniques in "bountygate".

I agree with it being a shitty WC weekend. Giants/Pack might give us something tonight. As for the Dolphins, they need to pray to the football gods for a miracle. Ajayi needs to have a monster game like he did in week 6 but I doubt the Dolphins D can stop the Steelers. I think the Texans go to N.E. next week. The D might slow Brady and co. down a little but I will be surprised if Houstons offense scores more than 3 points on the Pats.
I'm looking forward to next weeks match-ups. Pitt at K.C., Seahawks at Atlanta, GB/NY at Dallas all look like good match-ups. Whoever at N.E. not so intriguing.

Don't expect a whole lot of sympathy from @bksballer89 he's one of the NY gang. Hell, he might even be Goodell!!

I don't, but love to point out his favorite team doesn't back him.

Off to a local bar to watch the game.

Good luck to your teams.
