Beating the Colts in Indy would go a long way towards getting the Texans in the playoffs...
While I think we're seeing what the Texans can be the last few weeks, there's always the possibility of the letdown game looming just around the corner...... I think they can, but I have to see more (good things) before I'm a believer....

Yes they can. The AFC is only slightly better than the terrible AFC South. Any competent team would easily make the playoffs this year. But since there are not 6 competent teams in the AFC, at least one incompetent team will make it. I believe we could be that incompetent team.

I'd give them a real shot had they beaten Indy here in Houston, but now give them very little chance of winning the division and a WC slot is a real long-shot so therefor I'm left with saying, "maybe next year".

Presuming losses to New England and Indy, the Texans can do no better than 9-7. To do that, they'd have to beat New Orleans, Buffalo, Jacksonville and Tennessee.
Doable but not probable. They've already lost the tiebreaker with KC and they'll play Buffalo h-t-h in Buffalo. They have the tiebreaker with the Jets but lose to Miami so we become Fitzy fans down the stretch. I'm not very hopeful, frankly, but stranger things have happened. Remember the Chargers getting in when they needed three other teams to lose on the final weekend?

Found this website a few weeks ago. It uses an ELO model (which I don't totally understand) to project a team's chances in their upcoming game and the chances of making the playoffs/winning the division.
A score of 1500 is an average NFL team. The Texans currently have a score of 1514 so, just a tick above average. The Texans chances are of making the playoffs are currently at 49% and their chances of winning the division are currently at 36% - both up from last week. --------------------------------------------------- If you like power rankings, ESPN currently has the Texans ranked #11, actually 3 spots ahead of the Colts....
