Patriots V Texans (SNF) 12/13/2015

[BigKen]

The Patriots have to get their shit together tonight. Cincinnati and Denver handed them a gift today by losing. Both have dropped a game behind the Pats. Houston is now a half game in front of Indianapolis for the lead in the AFC South so they will be pumped.

Gronk is back and may play. Word today was that he will play and line up next to Marcus Cannon to give him Help with JJ Watt.

I like it. Go Pats.

McCourty is the big lynch pin we need back the most.

McCourty is the big lynch pin we need back the most.

It would be nice if Easley could stay healthy to see what he could do?

Nice to have an easy one for a change tonight. Getting that #1 seed would obviously be huge. I'd like our chances with AJ McCarron or Brock Osweiler coming to Foxboro in the playoffs. Denver goes to PIT next week. Then they host CIN the following week. Pats should be in good shape. Now they just need to get healthy.

Solid win - the defense was outstanding all around, the front is as strong as it is deep.. Logan Ryan is really developing nicely, and Malcolm was his usual solid self on the backend.

The Texan's front was equally awesome, really made our OL look like a JV squad out there in the second half. The Pats OL really struggled tonight.

Looks like a good chance for a bye, not sold on HFA yet. @Jets (who are decent) and the traditional/annual Brady stinker in South Florida are still on the slate..

Of course but they could overcome his loss a lot easier than McCourty.

Is it too much to ask to have one game where there are not bodies littering the field?

Any word on the injuries?
Not a peep on the web so far that I can find.

#Patriots S Devin McCourty suffered a sprained ankle, source said. X-Rays were negative. It's nothing that'll cause him to miss the playoffs

Saw this on Bleacher Report. FWIW.

Phew!!!

Thanks for the update.

Latest update on injuries.

Easly has been placed on season ending IR. Have to wonder if this was another wasted first round pick. Two years in the league and two years on IR.

Blount is on crutches and has been placed on season ending IR.

McCourty is walking without crutches or a boot. His ankle is wrapped and he is out for Tennessee.

I guess so?

It must be the "system".

Well, we can't say the Patriots didn't know Easly was injury prone.....

I didn't even see how Blount got hurt, just saw him on the ground but he seemed to walk it right off. Sucks badly about McCourty

Tyms is "out"? I thought he was IR as well.

Yep, he is on IR. PFR didn't update his status....
