If the Texans REALLY need someone to lose to prevent from NOT hosting the AFC champ its Baltimore.

Titans are crappy enough to get beaten by second stringers. They (Steelers) dropped a couple of picks on the last drive itself. Hasselbeck is not a good QB anymore and throws a lot of bad balls.

Meh... the Titans are still just 2-4 and now the Steelers are 2-3. As much as I don't want to root for a division foe, this probably turned out for the best for us.

And looking how readily Hasselbeck got them in FG range against the "vaunted" Steeler defense, they (the Steelers) don't worry me like they have in years past.

Steelers with loss drop to 2-3 which will make it hard to catch up long as we keep ground in AFC. Baltimore is 4-1 AND 2-0 in division, record wise overall they are biggest threat to homefield ATM. NOT Pitt.

A loss by Pitt helps a lil more, but I guess I am in the opinion of **** the titans and I'd prefer to see them lose barring it being a HUGE advantage to the Texans.

We don't play the Steelers this year. We play the Titans twice. If the Steelers end up 2-14 for the season & the Titans end up 3-13 all other things being equal, we'd have a better S.O.S than Baltimore, since they play the Steelers twice.

Either way, it's a long shot for things to turn out that way, or for us to need that tie breaker over Baltimore, or to "hope" the Colts & Jags will finish as well as Cincinnati & Clevland (well, not really)..... but it was said tongue in cheek & wasn't meant to get this out of hand.

It's way too early for a Tennessee win/loss to matter for our play-off implications.

Just woke up to see this result... Wasn't expecting it at all... So much that I predicted Tenn to win in TexansTalk pick em as I usually get my picks wrong.

We play Baltimore once so barring a tie in the regular season, heads up will determine any tie with them.

So is this good or bad LOL


i guess its good for seeding cases has long has tenn never catches up to us besides if we win @ tenn that would pretty much take tenn out of the divison picture

To bad both teams couldn't lose tonight. Hate the Titans, and a Steelers loss would be beneficial to the Texans.

What was with Kenny Britt tonight, dropping balls that hit him in the hands several times?

It's hard catching balls when your hands are used to being in handcuffs.

You know, maybe we are 5-0 playing nobodys but other teams are 2-3 losing to nobodys. Just wanted to say that.

Between that and his knee injury I doubt he will ever live up to his significant potential. He was dropping balls that were literally hitting him in the numbers.

[eriadoc]

There was no possible outcome to this game that was going to make me happy. I guess I'll never get over my childhood hatred for the Steelers, and obviously, the Tacks can go DIAF.
