If one thing has been proven over the last few years, it is that seeding in the playoffs doesn't matter. As long as you make it in and have a some sort of momentum (winning the last four games of the season would be nice) you have a chance to win it all. So let's get there.

the only chance we have at winning this game is that, we cannot turnover the ball no matter what, and our O-line has to hold its own against Watt and their pass rush.
Plus AP has to put in his 200 yds like usual

oh crap this game is at Reliant ...thought it was home

Believe it or not the playoffs start 2 weeks early for us...gotta win them all

Yep Fusco or Johnson blocking up Watt is scary. I know that we have handled Ndamukong Suh, Justin Smith, Darnell Dockett, and even Julius Peppers when he moves inside. So we need to take care of Watt or he will wreck everything.

Besides your point on the turnovers and taking care of Watt. We need to stop Foster. This season we have had a couple game where we forgot how to tackle. IE Stephens-Howling and Doug Martin. We need to have a similar game like the 49ers game from this year.

Is it Sunday yet? My goodness...I haven't been this excited for a Vikings game since the '09 NFC Championship game!

Must win game. It's gonna feel like a playoff game watching it for sure.

Gonna need another big game from AP to have a chance. Ponder is going to have to be efficient again and not turn the ball over.

Should be fun to see JJ Watt go against Matt Kalil.

I think AP will just get over a hundred but then he will need to get almost 200 on the dot against the packers...The funny thing is is that 100 yards is one play to this guy.

Idk man Vick Ballard just busted off 103 against them...... Houston's defense is starting to look weaker and weaker. Im almost at the point where Im expecting a 300 yard game to cap this season off weather its at houston or home and just blow every nfl fans mind.

sorry to be the negative nancy here, but we lose big and ap's 100 yard streak ends here. they're playing for home field advantage. and we're on the road.

Andre is gonna own us. Scared.

Andre is gonna own us. Scared.

We have been able to contain Megatron and Brandon Marshall twice without letting them win the game for the opposing team so I think the X-factor is still going to be Foster. If we can shut down their run game and force them to pass the ball I think we should be alright.

Andre is gonna own us. Scared.

At least Cook might be back. Throw Harrison over top and I think we might be alright. Hit him hard and hit him early (ala Megatron).

Where did you hear Cook could be back. Cuz that would be HUGE.
