I know that no one will shed any tears about this … but this Pats offense is brutal right now. There’s no way to sugar coat it. No chemistry. No one open. It’s ugly. I’m not even sure the Texans are doing anything special. Just nothing happening

Reminder that even IF Houston wins this game, no matter how convincingly they do it, they will STILL have to go up to Foxborough in January unless the Pats somehow lose two of their last four games, AND Houston wins out the rest of the year…with two of those against Tennessee.
The Pats might not be the best team in the AFC, but their schedule has still put them in the driver’s seat for home field advantage no matter what.

Patriots offense has one Pro Bowler (maybe) on offense. Julian Edleman. Just a personnel issue. They aren’t special. Just guys. Even great coaches need dudes.
Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
Can’t remember the last time I saw Tom Brady look this defeated. He just let the play clock run under 10 — down 19 with 5 minutes left — then burned a timeout. You NEVER see that with the Patriots.
Of course, Brady, in his own way, has let us know there are issues.
