We don't even officially know yet if Houston goes to NE next weekend until Steelers/Dolphins. If Miami pulls off the upset they automatically go to NE.

 

 

BTW congrats Q boy!!!! Good win for your guys.

The phins aren't going to beat the Steelers

True but the Steelers will probably win. Nevertheless a Good win for Houston and Brock. It was really easily predictable because without Carr the Raiders are pretty Bad.

[James]

With Carr Raiders would have won this game.

 

Texans get demolished vs Pats or KC. Pats already beat them with their third string QB. Brady will destroy them.

Nice win Q. If the Steelers win, how do you feel about going into dreaded Foxboro?

[IinD]

I won't crap on Hou's parade. It's still a playoff win. Our fans would be ecstatic if we were in it and won.

 

Puts pressure on us to get better.

IMO, winning your division and at least 1 Playoff game is a Good season no matter how you get it done. Lets see if Houston can make that next step like we did in 2014 getting to the Title Game. The Divisional Round is when the big boys play, Final 8 time next week!

This game put no pressure on us to get better.  

 

Not winning the division put pressure on us to get better

I don't think anyone except the Ravens is happy about going to Foxborough. But this is the NFL playoffs. Our offense will have to play better then they did today for us to have a chance. And our defense is superb but we all know Brady is lethal at home in the playoffs. Glad to still be in it. One game at a time.

Absolutely I agree. Was just kind of commenting on people discounting Hou. Hey, once in the dance you have a shot. I'd be happy even if we had beat a Carr-less Oak in this game.

Carr will probably get a few more MVP votes now. The team completely collapsed without him. Ryan will still win though.

Yeah staying alive is always fun, I loved the 2014 run because we had so much success without Peyton and actually beat him in the 2014 Divisional Round. I kind of figured we would lose at Foxboro but it was a hell of a run while it lasted.

Brock didn't lose the game....defense did enough.

Can they win at NE.....

 

..let me get back to you on that one

I highly doubt they can win at NE. it wouldn't shock me if they beat the Texans something similar to the way they beat us in the Title Game a couple of years ago. Having said that, I am rooting for Houston if that matchup occurs. It would be arguably the biggest upset of all-time in a Divisional Round Game.

Question for you guys, if Houston wins this game, and you could have them beat NE, BUT, on the condition they will win the SB 100%, would you take it?

Anyone but the steelers or pats

It's gonna be one or the other.   Unfortunately

[King Colt]

Anyone catch the comment the Raiders led the league in in catchable dropped passes his year with 31? They dropped a few today as well. Draft a QB and don't give him top notch receivers?! What's next in the NFL, draft a #1 QB  and not give him an OL for protection?

Did you see their terrible o line today?

The Raider recievers couldn't catch a cold today and multiple bad calls on both sides in this game too.

Drafting that franchise QB when you don't have an Oline, a running game, good receivers and a top notch defense is just silly. It just doesn't work anymore. Look at last years top 2 QBs taken. Teams that are ready should certainly land a franchise QB. Andrew Luck's career has gone the way of David Carr and management is responsible.

Nothing like the Texans with David Carr

Andrew's career has been 10x better than Carr's was. I don't know where people come up with some of the stuff they Post.
