Texans Playoff Picture

[TheMatrix31]

Regardless what happens next week, I consider this season to be a success

Absolutely. I was pounding the optimism drum all through training camp and preseason while others thought otherwise.

So, assuming Buffalo beats OAK today, the following things have to happen for us to make the playoffs:

Texans beat Jags
NE beats Buffalo
Browns win at Ravens
Chiefs win at home vs Chargers

I like the odds of 1, 2, and 4 happening...not so much 3. Oh well, at least there's a shot...with everything that has happened with the Texans this season, I'd say to even be in the conversation now is pretty good.

Both tackles for Baltimore plus their RB and qb are hurt. And hoyer is starting again and likely playing for his future. It's possible.

Joe is hurt? Maybe that had something to do with his play today. What's wrong with him?

 

[MistaRed]

Buffalo and Oakland now tied at 7

No he got hurt on one of the last plays of the game. But I'm sure he will play. Just be hampered.

Hold up, does NE have anything to play for? Because if they have #1 seed locked up, you may as well hand Buffalo the dubya.

 

[Pollardized]

If Denver wins tomorrow then NE has to win next week for #1 seed, or they would both have to lose next week for NE to have #1. So cheer for Denver Monday night.

 

[amazing80]

Oakland beating buffalo right now

 

[tedr]

Hold up, does NE have anything to play for? Because if they have #1 seed locked up, you may as well hand Buffalo the dubya.

If Denver wins tomorrow, the Broncos and Patriots will be tied going into next week...the Patriots will be playing for homefield advantage, so I'm pretty sure they'll try to win the game. We just need Denver to win tomorrow so the Pats will have something to play for.

Week 16: Texans beat Ravens, Chiefs beat Steelers, Panthers beat Browns, Vikings beat Dolphins, 49ers beat Chargers, and Raiders beat Bills. 9-6: Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs. 8-7: Texans, Bills, Chargers. Out at 7-8: Dolphins, Browns.

Week 17: Texans beat Jags, Browns beat Ravens, Bengals beat Steelers, Chargers beat Chiefs, and just in case the Bills did not lose to the Raiders - Pats beat Bills. 9-7: Texans, Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs, Chargers, maybe Bills. It will come to the conference record tiebreaker: Texans have the best conference record of any of these teams (thanks Titans and Jags!) and get the 5th seed.

Ha ha...I admire your imagination....there's about a billionth of a chance that this happens....

You are right, no way the Texans can get the 5th seed now. My plan required a team coached by a Harbaugh to win this week. What was I thinkin'?

We're still not out of it, and right now Oak is beating Buffalo, so "All we need" is for the browns to go into Baltimore next week and beat the ravens.

Hopefully it ends up with Oakland winning now and Denver getting the #1 seed so if we pull some miracle **** and make the playoffs *and* win the Wild Card game, we play Denver instead of New England.

Or for Oakland to beat the Bills today. They are up 16-10.

And the Chiefs to beat the Chargers.

 

[Vance87]

19-17 Oakland in the 4th.

Raiders up 26-7 with 3 min left

 

[Vance87]

Raiders up 26-7 with 3 min left

Wow, they took ten points off the board for Buffalo??

 

[CoreyG]

Texans will only be watching two games on the scoreboard.

 

[JB]

nah, I got ghost fingers on the 1

 

[Lucky]

Wow, they took ten points off the board for Buffalo??

I wish they had done that on January 3rd, 1993.

 

[Vance87]

INT! That'll do it.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Thanks, Raiders.

 

[TEXANRED]

from 2-14 to every game means something. Just think how good we would be if we had a decent QB?

 

[Vance87]

....

 

[TEXANRED]

You know if we do make the Playoffs we will end up playing Indy in the WC round.

 

[Lucky]

Thanks, Raiders.

Beat the Packers and come back the next week and lose to the Raiders. Crazy.

 

[JCTexan]

You know if we do make the Playoffs we will end up playing Indy in the WC round.

And finally be able to beat them in Indy.

 

[stonewhite]

if we sneak into the playoffs ill faint

 

[brg88tx]

Oakland won

 

[texanhead08]

Its pretty simple what we need to happen to make the playoffs

Texans beat Jags
Chiefs beat Chargers
Browns beat Ravens

 

[dream_team]

Stupid 49ers!

And how can we convince the Browns to start Hoyer?

I think the chiefs can pull the upset. The browns however....

 

[MistaRed]

Might not need to Johnny football pulled a hammy today and had to sit out the rest of the game. Good chance Hoyer starts.

 

[Vance87]

Johnny INT had a hamstring injury. Maybe he'll be out. Or he'll pull a miracle for his home state.

 

[stonewhite]

Food poison manziel

 

[thunderkyss]

And how can we convince the Browns to start Hoyer?

Did you see Hoyer today? Doesn't look like he wants to be the starter.


They need that defense to get back to playing AFC North Football.

 

[Lucky]

The browns however....

The Texans pulled off a similar win today. Bad Joe Franco needs to show up next week.

 

[EllisUnit]

Maybe the football gods will smile down on us and we will make the play offs ! We as Texans fans deserve it !

 

[imatexan]

The pieces are falling in place.

 

[TEXANRED]

I just asked the football Gods and this was there reply:


maybe we need some voodoo?

Wouldn't count us out of it just yet, stranger things have happened. Plus to still be alive for a play off birth the last game of the season is far more than most of YOU expected, me of course i always have hope ans many of you know.

I was more referring the football God's smiling on the Texans. We all know they hate Houston.

 

[TEXANRED]

I was thinking more this guy:

 

[MistaRed]

The sea goddess calypso. We don't have the 9 pieces of 8.

 

[burro]

We're counting on Cleveland to win? That sucks.

Then again, the Ravens played like a hungover college team today. Here's hoping that they are crash landing.

Good news for us is that the browns have a pretty good defense on most
Sundays, there is a fighting chance !

You know what i find FUNNY, the colts beat the texans last week (MIND YOU OUR PUNTER WAS WARMING UP TO PLAY QB THAT GAME) and not even 10 minutes later there were 3 blogs on espn praising luck, hailing him as a football god. BUT TONIGHT after the stomping they took from Dallas not ONE SINGLE blog has been written about the colts.
