    Next week is a must win game. At home, against the Colts.

    All that needs to be said.

    We need to bounce back and come out with a DOMINATING performance. No more f***ing around lay it all out.

    That is all.

    Do people really think we'll lose next week? Have you watched a Colts game?

    Agreed.

    I'd like to add, the Pats likely will not lose again.

    Texans need to win out or they will not have home field.

    No way Texans lose next week. Houston will win even after this big disappointment.

    Remember that Ravens beat down after the Pack massacre? Hopefully it will be something like that.

    Obviously we need to win out and the #1 seed is locked. We really need cincy and Pitt to lose this week. That would make them each 7-7, and the Colts 9-5 (assuming we beat them). Colts can then clinch with a win at Kansas City in week 16.

    We do not want the Colts playing for a playoff spot in week 17.




    Texans open as a 9.5 favorite vs Colts.

    i hope we don't do what we did last year when we clinched a playoff spot. We lost every single game after that. It will be a major let down if we don't get one of these top two seeds. The next two games are absolutely crucial and both are at home, so no excuses.

    This game was a poor gameplan and poor execution. Forget about this one and move on to the next.

    they didn't cruise after winning the division last year. they just weren't that good. it took a last second score to clinch the division against the Bengals.

    after clinching the division this year, they still have to win out to secure the number one seed. it's ridiculous to think they'll just give that up.

    It's the end of the season and both teams are not bad. They need the wins more than the Texans. Remember that must game win for the 4-7 Lions (now 4-9). We didn't match their intensity and won it on a field goal in OT.

    I don't think it's a must win. It's definitely a Better Win.

    The pats have the tiebreaker so if they go 3-0 and we go 2-1 we would have to go back to foxboro for an AFC title game if we both made it that far.

    I think we'll win our 2 home games but that week 17 just become a whole lot more interesting.

    GO 49ERS!!!

    Well, the Colts gameplan will be easy. Stack the box and shut down our running game and then make Schaub throw the ball.

    Easy win for the Colts if they do this.

    Patriots play the 9ers next week though, plus one last game against the Fins. Divisional games are always tough.

    I think the Colts game will be tough, but the Texans have not lost a game they were favored in yet. Plus after the Packers beat down they came out and beat up a better team than the Colts (The ravens)

    3-0, period. I don't think the Pats and Broncos lose more than one, if at all. Not really worried about the Colts passing us, but they could steal a game and put us in a tough spot with the other two.
