I can see every scenario including a sweep, a split and getting swept for them. SO I guess that means No. I have to wait and see how the games turns out.
"Sounds" like the Jags aren't giving up on the season, so if they're just playing spoiler, they're going to give the Colts a game.
Miami, I'm not too sure about.

According to ESPN playoff machine, this is not true.

Just ran it with texans losing to the Pats and then winning out. Colts only loss was to the texans.
texans won division.
Yes based on strength of victory... but if the bengals lost in weeks 15 & 16 the Texans would miss the playoffs unless Denver also lost week 15
It is correct only if other things fall into place... it's a maybe at this point
He said regardless what the Colts do.
And that could be wrong

That's with Houston losing to NE then winning out, Indy winning all but Houston.
The Saints winning an extra game tips the scale in Houston's favor.
Losing to the Patriots removes an element of certainty just like any loss. But neither does it eliminate us with certainty. But winning out IS certain to get us in the playoffs..

The point is, the guy's tweet is not true. If the Texans lose to the Pats then win out, they do not control their own destiny. That's all I'm trying to say.
The hardest part in all of this, as always, is the Texans doing their part. Beating the Patriots who will be trying to avoid a 3rd loss in a row, something they haven't done since 2002, isn't going to be easy.
Then you've got to do something you've never done before - win in Indy.
I think I'll stay away from the playoff scenarios until after the Indy game.

We can't win in Indy so does this really matter.

But that's not what the guy said. Brett said that if the Texans win out, it doesn't matter what the Colts do. And that's true. It matters what OTHER TEAMS do. The teams we beat have to win and the teams the Colts beat need to lose.
He could have said it more clearly, but the point was that if the Texans win out (after losing to the Patriots) and the Colts win out (except for Houston), then the tie-breakers for the Texans/Colts to win the division boils down to strictly what other teams do.

Yeah, I think he left out a word in his original tweet, and it should have said the Texans can win the division regardless of what the Colts do. It's the likelier scenario, but not a given.
His final tweet (so far) on the issue:

Where's that unlike feature? We can and WILL win in Indianapolis, perhaps this year.
No doubt, tonight could be huge if we win!

Just as well, can't see a way in by wildcard the way other results are going.
Don't think we'll beat the patriots, but a win in Indy should give us the AFC south title.

Damn the jags put an ass whopping on the colts. Didn't expect this.

Indy is giving us every chance in the world to win the division. Every time we lose, they lose. Now we're playing the Pats and they have a chance to stretch the lead and they get blown out by the Jags.
All we have to do is beat them in Indy.

And beat Jacksonville & Tennessee. We shouldn't take those games for granted, especially since Jville just beat Indy.

Got JJ?
Yeah. I'm thinking they may have figured a thing or two out since I last saw them.

I'm not sure about that just yet.
But he certainly has the tools to be. And he'd be even further ahead right now if Jacksonville hadn't stunted his development last season.

he looked terrible today. Colts literally dropped 3 INT's that were head scratching throws by him

I'm not getting my hopes up. Until the Texans actually take a QB, I'll expect something else. Because, we all know QB is not the most important position on the field...Houston Texans fans get used to this here... this is your QB next year

Nope. Thats not him, this is:
He may be sitting behind future Texans legend Drew Brees though
Sorry, he's not coming here
DX-TEX
#TomSavageDontCare
Why? If/when the Saints release him (they will be rebuilding and are in salary cap hell) this is his best option
1) Team has enough talent to compete NOW
2) Close to his home. Brees is a family guy and wouldn't have to uproot his family. 6 hour drive to New Orleans
3) Texans have the cap space

We don't draft QB's around here. Unless it's in the 4th round or later.

Interesting topic came up with a group of friends after the Pats loss last night.
How do you think the Texans would do with the Pats 07 roster and our current coaching staff?

Raise your hand if you thought the Texans would be as good as the Patriots & Broncos in 2015.

Can someone please clarify where we stand now?
They kept on showing what an Indy win would mean for the playoffs, but not what a Texans win means.
Obviously win out and where in, other than that???
