Yea the season being over gets thrown around a lot after a disappointing loss, but 1 AFC win in 10 games. There's no making the playoffs in a loaded conference with that conference record. They aren't winning out. Not if they can't even beat the Texans.... At home.
I wouldn't say the season is "over" with a loss Thursday night. It would certainly make winning the division a near-impossibility, yes, but it doesn't preclude us from qualifying for a WC spot. That would also be a big ask - we'd probably have to go 5-2 in the final seven and get some help for a realistic shot at a WC spot, but that's not impossible. I don't know, I guess I'm not feeling as gloomy about their chances as I did 30 hours ago.
Thursday night is a big as it gets.
