The texans are not making the playoffs :rofl:
Why not? A lot of people are picking the Ravens (also 4-5) to make the playoffs. Texans own the tiebreaker.
At the moment the Jacksonville Jaguars own the final AFC wild-card spot (7th seed). They ain't all that are they?
And Texans still have big games left vs. the Bills, Chiefs, Colts and Chargers to punch their ticket to the playoffs.
Texans are good enough if they get some healthy starters back. They had seven total starters out of today's game.
I'm including Joe Mixon and Tank Dell. Who both are attempting a late-season comeback. Mixon is more likely.
They haven't even had a stud running back like Mixon all season! And all 5 of their losses were by one little score.
3 of the losses they were in position to win. So you can't tell me Joe Mixon, and even Tank Dell, wouldn't have helped.
In hindsight, yeah, they should've found a way to beat the Rams, Buccaneers and Broncos. They were in position to win all three games.
But that's just the way it goes sometimes. You have to learn from your heartbreaking losses. Nobody feels sorry for you when you lose.
Texans are a very good 4-5 team. They just haven't had any luck staying healthy. But I've never made any excuses other than crediting the other team.
