    Holy shit, you've got the whole game mapped out. Why do they bother playing?

    Yeah, that shouldn't surprise anybody. The Patriots are so damn good at in-game adjustments and the Texans are absolutely overmatched.

    That's not even close to a fumble.

    Hell, that isn't even close to close to being a fumble.

    This is a perfect example of where refs have decided to make the call that lets play continue, then clean it up later if replay shows otherwise. And it makes officiating a lot worse overall.

    You can't throw a ball better than that one.

    You are exactly right. They decided to let replay make the call, and that's poor officiating.

    Compared to all the behemoths on the field, Nick Novak looks like Homer Stokes' midget from O Brother Where Art Thou.

    Don't know if it's poor officiating, per se. They *know* it's going to go to replay. The officials most likely have been told to let such situations go because replay will "clean it up."

    It's more on the league than on the stripes. If replay can clean it up without the loss of a timeout, then so be it.

    Yep. Brady with only his second most passing yards in the last two months.
