Posted by Matt Loede on Dec 13 2007Analysts: Texans Out Of Postseason Competition
The Texans apparently won’t get a berth in the playoffs this year, but they can still match their best-ever 7-and-9 record.

Houston Texans defensive tackle Amobi Okoye shouldn’t feel alone or left out; he is suffering what the vast majority of NFL players go through: the “rookie wall”.
