Houston columnist tweets Patriots are chokers, guarantees Texans win
The Patriots and Texans will square off at Gillette Stadium in the divisional round. This is, of course, the rematch of a 42-14 beatdown by New England back on December 10th.
There hasn't been a whole lot of trash talk going back and forth between the players on the Patriots or Texans.
In the media? Different story.
One Texas writer chose to unleash pretty much all the ammunition on the Patriots on twitter. Everything from "choking" to spy gate, it goes on and on.
This of course comes after Dan Shaugnessy's jinx column in the Boston Globe claiming that the Texans were "terrible" and the Pats had a first round bye.
Anyway, this columnist in Texas had a whole lot of things to say in a similar tone about the Patriots. Here's a compilation of some of the hardest hitters.
He also had a column, which CultofBelichick tears apart here.
Texans in a romp this Sunday! You can take it to the bank! #nfl #texans #sports

So what do you call losing three of four and blowing the number one seed in the AFC then?
Three Super Bowls, huh? What have you done for me lately. #patswin #notachance #LOOKATME

Since 2004: 7 AFC East championships, 2 AFC championships, 16-0 season, Tom Brady: 2 league MVPs, first ever unanimous MVP, record of 98-33, broke receiving TD record, passing TD record, tight end TD record, become both number 1 and 2 in most points scored in league history, best turnover differential in the NFL since 2009, etc. etc. etc.
Not since Spygate #checkmate RT @brandon_hassey The Patriots have more SB wins than the Texans have playoff wins. Relax bruh

Yeah cause I guess appearing in the Super Bowl is easy to do.
I'm just saying, the next time @mrblloyd makes a big catch in the playoffs, will be his first time. #nodice

Brandon Lloyd vs Texans on December 10th: seven catches, 89 yards, 1 touchdown.
The Texans are undefeated all time (1-0) against the Patriots in the month of January. #numbersdontlie
