There's always a chance we can lay an egg but if Schaub has time to throw, Miami's young corners can be burned. Getting Moats/Brown started early will be a big key to that.

Missing Slaton & Daniels takes away our second and third top weapons so Baby Shan has to get more creative.

Our LBs also have to have a great game to keep their rushing attack in check. I think I heard that Ronnie Brown is out for the season and Ricky Williams (minus the dreads) is now their primary weapon. That limits the Wildcat offense somewhat. If we can get them to the point where Chad Henne has to win the game for them, I like out chances.

IMO, this is the biggest game in Texans history. They have everything to play for since they're still in it and won't know their ultimate fate at game start. If they play well, even if they lose next week or miss the playoffs, then Kubiak should get another year. If they come out flat and play poorly, Kubiak should go. If you can't get up for a game like this, then something is seriously wrong with the coaching and/or resolve of the players.

Nah, not the biggest game in Texans history. That would have been one of the four games we lost in the middle of the season. This is a "everything else is just gravy" game.

I dissagree, since the inception of this franchise we've never had a chance (albeit a minute one) to make the playoffs this late in the season. We should be going into this game with the mindset it is a playoff game.

Weren't we still in it last year going into the second-to-last week? Or maybe that was the season before?

Miracle Update: At the half of the early games...

Patriots 28, Jaguars 0.
Steelers 20, Rabens 10.

TEXANS 27, Dolphins 3

All systems are still go. Steelers have more work to do but we are well on the way to pulling off the blueprint. If these scores hold, we vault into second place in the division and we're in the playoff hunt for the final week at home against the nothing-to-play-for Patriots.

Not as easy as it looked at halftime but Mission Accomplished. The Christmas Miracle Weekend continues!

New England 35, Jacksonville 7
Pittsburgh 23, Baltimore 20

HOUSTON 27, Miami 20.

Now, we are Eagle and (ahem) Colt fans. If they both win, we go into the final week with four teams left in the wild card mix.

Jets get a TD, Colts respond with TD but fail on 2-pt conversion.

Ind 15, NYJ 10 (3rd).

Jets force a fumble and return it for a TD - 2-pt conversion is good.

NYJ 18, Ind 15 - late in the 3rd.
