No one is calling Arian Foster's motivation for this weekend's AFC divisional game against the Patriots into question; he's changed his Twitter avatar to an excerpt from a Boston columnist's piece that was highly critical of the Texans. Are the Texans really better only on paper than they are on the field?

• Addisfaction: "Sadly, the Texans have earned that article. They went from the Best in the NFL to "maybe" 5th best. But only they can do anything about it. They got some showing up to do. Tall task indeed."
• TheBigBadNYGiants: "As much as I hope the Texans show out next week, I just don't see them standing a chance. I know it's any given Sunday but last game was just horrid to watch even with them winning by a large margin. Patriots won't see the Super Bowl but they're beating the Texans."
• tklemans40980: "Just more New England arrogance. Shocker."
• meanfunk75: "Pats thought the same thing when they walloped the Jets 45-3 then got sent home in the playoffs. Patriots are overrated and are going nowhere"
• gman.nts: "Typical. One thing I will say is there's a reason for the saying "Any given Sunday...". I'm a Giants fan so I will be rooting for Texans big time! Regardless of what it looks like. The biggest mistake a team can make is to count the 'W' before you earn it."
