I can't believe you guys hold out hope for the Texans to make the playoffs. Aint gonna happen. They will beat the Seahawks and Rams but what they should beat them. They are really bad. They blew it when they lost 4 straight division games. Calculate all you want but but the answer will still be the same. Texans relaxing at home watching the playoffs on tv. And we will get another year of Kubiak's mediocre football because McNair likes Kubiak just like he did Carr and it clouds his judgement when making the tough decisions.

...this video has been re-done with subtitles a bunch (the Romo and Aggie ones are funnier), but since this deals with the Texans and their playoff aspirations, I figured it was appropriate in this thread. Enjoy.

I believe if the Texans win against the Rams, they will still be mathematically alive...i.e. some other teams victory can't eliminate the Texans at this point unless the Texans eliminate themselves...

Baltimore, I'd say, is the favorite among this bunch. They may very well end up 10-6....

Jets lost today and Miami lost against the Titans. Now they are all even at 7-7.... I hope the Colts go for the undefeated season so they can bring their A game vs the Jets. If we beat Miami then we go ahead of them. What about the Titans? If they end up 9-7 also then who gets the advantage? Hard to believe the Titans are 7-7 after 0-6. That team is gonna be a tough one to beat if they make the playoffs.

Teams in playoff hunt that are still playing right now are the Ravens and the Steelers

Essentially, we are one game behind Denver and Baltimore and tied with a bunch of teams at 7-7. This gets pretty easy to figure:

Win both remaining games and hope the tiebreakers shake out in your favor. That'll be tough because some teams (Jacksonville and Tennessee included) have the tiebreakers over us. But anything can happen when the NFL calculators start crankin'.

Hopefully someone can re-crank out the possibilities. I just like to know what would have to happen, even though I know it's not gonna happen.

Of course we split on head-to-head games with them, but I understand they come out ahead on the next tie-breaker (either division/conference record ?).
Their next game is SD, but it's in Nashville and not the WC.

Games this coming week

- Jets(7-7) @ Indy- Hopefully the Colts go for the undefeated season

- Ravens (8-6) @ Pittsburgh (7-7)- Who should we be rooting for here? And why?

- Chargers @ Titans (7-7)- This game is on Friday and the Chargers are undefeated in December since 2006. Hopefully that streak continues.

- Jaguars (7-7) @ Patriots- Im hoping that the good Patriots show up for this game.

- Broncos (8-6) @ Eagles- Broncos are on a downslide so they can probably lose this game also.

- Texans (7-7) @ Miami (7-7)- Dolphins are probably pissed by the way they lost so this is gonna be a tough game. This game is HUGE for the Texans so i hope they dont vlow it.

All we have to do is win one game at a time.... It starts with Miami
