But the division? Looks a little better each week. Beating Indy, regardless of how, is going to determine the division.

If you watched the Indy game from Sam's Place and you left and the Texans lose I'm going to blame it on you.

Winning the division is almost certainly the only way in now. Which is fine with me. These guys must know there is no margin for error. And, on the plus side, they control their own fate. Win and you're in, playing at home, no less.

Welp, what happened was expected. A little uglier than expected, but the same result.

With Hoyer in concussion protocol, very likely we have TJ vs. Charlie Whitehurst for the division crown.

Let that sink in a bit.

I'll go with the guy who has a playoff win.

Slight problem. The game is at Leaking Oil Stadium where the Texans have never won in a city where they have never won. I'm betting Luck will be back just like Gronk was.

I wasn't at Sam's but I didn't leave Sam's either. Watched the Bungles with a different Babydoll.

That's the second week in a row that Indy has lost by a 5 TD margin. And as bad as our division is I don't think we are any worse than the NFC East. We have Jacksonville here in the last game of the season for both teams when the division title and P-O team from the AFC South may be decided if not next week in Indy. Hey it's the last half of December and Texans still in the hunt for play offs.

Yep, woe is the Texans if they can't score on the Colt defense.

I think it's simple, now - they gotta win out. Beat the Colts and finish 9-7 and all will be forgiven.

TJ's not all that but I think I would like to see him get the remaining starts...

Huge W in the quest for the title. With Weedon at the helm no less. Texans now control thier own destiny for the Division Crown.

Weeden is going to need a crash course in this offense. OB has got his work cut out for him to keep these guys up for the next two games. After this nice win, they're in a slippery spot and the Titans and Jags matchups will need to be met with total focus.... The hard part is over. Now, take care of business...
