Some of you texan fans have no faith in your team. They upset the dolphins today big time & have a good chance at a wildcard if they beat the patriots next week. I hope they lose cause they have the edge over the steelers. Both are 8-7.
Texans have never made the playoffs yet alone had a winning season!
I would not call this an upset. I don't think Texans will make it.
Since they are at the bottom of the playoff food chain, they need to be one of only two 9-7 teams - everyone else must finish 8-8 or worse.
This is what to look for in week 16...
Texans - must beat Dolphins
Jags - lose to Patriots
Titans - lose to Chargers
Jets - lose to Colts
Dolphins - must lose to Texans and they are out
If Ravens and Broncos both win - it's over for everyone else
Other than the Colts lying down on the job, the Texans pretty much ran the table for what benefited them.
Next week will be tougher to accomplish because it may depend on who is or is not really playing to win.
Here's the deal for week 17...
Texans beat the Patriots obviously
And two of these results need to happen
Ravens lose to the Raiders
Broncos lose to the Chiefs
Jets lose to the Bengals
Texans have the early game, all others are late or later. So if they win, they will be in playoffs for at least three hours.
Lets not forget the chiefs & browns as well. The texans though are playing a tough team but the pats coach said he will sit out some starters just like the colts did.
jfre81 makes a good point. Texas user, let's see some reasoning here. It's one thing to rip a team all the time. But the greater majority of people on this forum usually will bring facts and stats; strength of schedule, where they are rated offensively and defensively, injury status on the club, stuff like that.
One liners about how a club sucks grinds on me in a hurry. And a continued pattern of it is trolling in my book. Those posts will be removed and a continued pattern gets infractions. I don't expect people to be statisticians here, but I DO expect reasoning behind your posts.
Realistically, Texans do not have a chance. They need lot of help.
You've trolled this topic for nearly two months posting "Texans do not have a chance" or something similar, yet here the Texans are in the final week of the regular season with something to play for. I guess this is what Niner fans do when there's nothing to talk about over there and nobody wants to hear a lecture about how rad 1988 was?
The Texans needed a win and help to stay in the hunt this week, so stranger things have happened. Their chances are about 5:1 but there are a lot of intangibles on the Texans' side. The Raiders are not a bad upset bet - four of their five wins vs. teams with winning records) and the Ravens haven't been the most consistent team this year. The Bengals ideally should beat the Jets, but Cincy has a lot less to play for. Denver can look like a Super Bowl contender one week and a top-5 draft pick contender the next so depending on which Broncos team shows up, they could find a way to screw up against a Chiefs team with nothing to lose. The Steelers did.

Texans have never made the playoffs let alone had a winning season. What makes me think they will make it this year? 49ers have 5 Super Bowl wins, 5 for 5. How many SB rings do the Texans have let alone a playoff game?
