Pretty cool. Kinda makes the losses to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati hurt a little more though since one or both of those as wins would have really boosted their playoff hopes.

On a related note, the team has begun invoicing season ticket holders for the playoffs. A common practice for teams still in the hunt as of 12/1.

If we win Sunday and Indy happens to lose to Cleveland (not likely, but it's in Cleveland), then we've got something to really pull for going into Indy the following week. Otherwise I give us no chance for a WC spot with so many tams ahead o us.

Well here's something...

Ravens DL Haloti Ngata has been suspended for four games - including the upcoming game with the Texans - for PED usage (Adderall). Ngata of course is a beast in the middle of that defense and would be a huge loss for the Ravens.

More importantly, he's the key to their run defense. Since Foster/Blue is the heart of our offense, having that big boy out of the way is a major plus.

Texans move up to 8th place from 12th place. Jump ahead of Miami, KC, Cleveland and Buffalo. Only Pittsburgh and Baltimore, both @ 8-5 are ahead of them for the last playoff spot. Lose at Indy, though, and it all goes down the tubes.....

Nah, there's still a few scenarios in which the Texans could sneak in at 9-7. Most involve the Chargers losing a couple games down the stretch, including a Week 17 game at KC.

True, but yeah, they'll need help with a 9-7. OTOH, if they can't beat the Colts or Ravens, then they shouldn't be in the playoffs anyway, dontcha think? They might not be at the point where they can give everyone a good fight.....
