Can The Texans Make The Playoffs??

Choose your scenario:

The game at Buffalo will be a big key.

I sure don't think they can, but would be great entertainment if they're able to pull it off.

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....

I think this is what I must have looked like when I read this thread.

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.

[Arky]

Don't look now, but the NFC East has caught up with the AFC South.... Both divisions are 16-24...... dammit!

A Texans win Sunday vs. Ten. virtually clinches AFC South even if Colts beat Mia. Houston has "strength of victory" edge, the 5th tiebreaker

[HPF Bob]

But they lose the tiebreaker for most vowels in the name of the team's host city - the 83rd tiebreaker.

Texans now have a >99% chance to make the playoffs and actually have a 1% chance to win the Super Bowl.....

[HPF Bob]

You'll know the fix is in if the Colts win the 10-game perfecta they'll need to win the division. I wouldn't bet against it though. The suits would rather see the Colts if they can get a healthy Luck.
