Really impressive night for the D (I say as the offense has put up 35 points on a Texans D that is supposed to be one of the league's best)

And just think, we don't even have gronk!

Down 35-7 and punting on 4th and 1 at your 40?  Wow.  I know the game is out of reach but I honestly don't see how you punt there.

This was a serious butt kicking of a one loss team that was reputed to be the best team in the league. If the Pats can get healthy, they should be able to return to the Super Bowl even if they have to go to Houston in the playoffs. 

Belichick and his coaches have also done a number on their counterparts on the Texans.  O line coach Dante Scarnecchia is the best assistant coach in the league.  Regardless of what line personnel is available, this team protects Brady and moves the ball on the ground this year.  At times, there are three first round picks on the line, but at other times this season, there's been three or four undrafted/late drafted lineman, with the offense not missing a beat.

What a fantastic demolition that game was.  The pats offense did look human there for about 5 drives in the middle of the game, but the Defense held strong all game. 

To the houston texans, if a rookie 7th rounder is covering andre johnson and you arent forcing him the ball, your doing it wrong.

Patriots getting absolutely smoked.  Hopefully this will just be a reminder that there's more work to do.  They aren't perfect.

I don't dislike the 49ers.  They're a good team.

Don't see anybody winning a Super Bowl without an elite QB, though, and Kaepernick is not one.

Completely agree. Our defense, whose not doing a good job holding off NE, is the only thing we are banking on. And I think that's too much to ask.

Brady is finally playing the kind of game he's paid to play. Finally. Only Tim Tebow could do it better, but he'd have to call on the entire trinity. Brady does it by himself.

Pretty amazing that the Pats made a game of this -- even tied it.  Obvious the defense doesn't have much energy left, though.

Still, I feel good about this team in January.  The 49ers in driving rain / sleet is basically a worst case scenario or the Pats.  Yet they didn't back down even when the game seemed 100% out of hand.

Honestly, I think the only reason the Pats got back in the game was the injury to J Smith.  Once the 9ers couldn't rush Brady, he had time to pick them apart.

Stout d-lines that rush the passer have success against the Pats.  It's really the only way to beat them.
