The reason? The Pats defense is good enough to stifle their offense (so is most every team that isn't hurt by poor officiating). The Pats offense will do what the Bengals and Raiders would not: throw the ball down the field. The Texans have an excellent secondary, but they only have to defend the first 15 yards. The Pats will go deep a couple times early to soften them up, then eat them up with short passes and their running game when the defense drops. It sounds simple, but you have to have the personnel to stretch the field. Tom doesn't have the same deep ball he used to, but they will still test them down the field.
I believe the reason will definately be because of the Texans Offense against the Pats Defense.
This will make it much easier on Brady cause he will have a short field for most of the day.
But that Defense of the Texans will give him some troubles. Especially Clowney.
I don't see Brady going deep as much as you do SHRacer. More of what him and that Offense does best, pick the LB's
apart in the middle of the field with Edelman and particularly Bennett. This is how they will beat that great Defense.
Slants and post routes in the middle of the field.
