PrintI know we're all stricken with playoff fever, but I wanted to get a quick post up about who your Houston Texans will be playing and where they'll be playing once the 2012 regular season starts. While the official schedule won't be released until April, hit the jump for a list of next season's home and away games for the boys in steel blue, battle red, and liberty white, courtesy of NFL.com.
Home: Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings.
Away: Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions.
We now return to your regularly scheduled "THE TEXANS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!" euphoria.

Did you read my post and decided to make a bigger one?
Anyways i hate to go to any home game except green bay. I hope we get Detriot for thanksgiving.
prolly has a lot to do with how we do in the playoffs.

A thanksgiving Texans game?
Wouldn’t that be nice?

How would Jerruh react
to the Texans possibly stealing the spotlight from his precious ’girls?

Lions have to play AFC on Thankgiving in 2012
It’s Detroit’s turn to play the AFC on Thanksgiving. They face the Texans & Colts at home. So the chances of Houston playing is dependent on whether or not the NFL & CBS think Peyton will be back or if Luck will be decent enough to be on TV. So there you go.
I am not sure any logic applies
Since the Jags had so many prime-time appearances (and they had done nothing deserving for such a thing) – I know it wasn’t a CBS thing, but network execs pretty much think alike

You're probably right
I tried to black out any memory of the Jags’ or Chiefs multiple TV appearances from this season.
Ugly or not, those Chiefs are the only team in about 13 months to beat Green Bay. To me, that earns them at least a little reprieve.
The Jags, however…ugh.

I didn’t see any FanPosts or FanShots about the schedule.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

So we play Miami again
But not the Raiders. How does this work, exactly?

We rotate which AFC and NFC divisons we play each year.
We play the AFCE and NFCN next year. We also get the teams that finished in first place in the other two AFC divisions (because we finished first in the South), being the Ravens and Broncos. The Raiders finished 2nd in the West, which is why we don’t play them. The BESFs will get them instead.
Miami and Oakland are semi-rivals at this point, haha.
We’ll have Baltimore for the third straight year…..

Re:Ravens
I was thinking that if we were to win this playoff game we’re playing the ravens possibly creating a rivalry between the two teams.
I enjoy rubber snails..
Question why doesn't the NFL schedule in-conference games more eually?
I mean wouldn’t it make more sense to play 2 teams from each division?

In that case
You’d only have two division games, which isn’t really fair by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a creative idea, but I think overall, it would throw the competitive weight of the schedule out of whack.
The current model isn’t perfect, but I think it’s the best one. I certainly prefer this model over any potential 18-game scenario.

no you would still play all your division opponents twice
6 in-conference teams and 4 nfc teams. thats 16

Sorry, misread your post
Thought you meant two teams from every division in NFL

Flying to see the game this weekend. It will be awesome that the Texans will play a game here!
I hpe we get all of the away out of division games early
and end the season in division. At least it keeps us out of the cold
Division Champion Houston Texans
Hi My name is Jack, why don't you help me off?
I think we'd be fine in the cold
Assuming our defense and running game stay intact. Those are the two ingredients to winning cold-weather games, and the Texans have both.
Kubiak believes in you
In fact, I'd almost rather go to Foxboro in December than September
They really struggle with ground-and-pound teams in cold weather, as their last two playoff games have proven (Ravens 09, Jets 10).
Kubiak believes in you
This is a GREAT point.
our best game is a ground attack, and cold weather is perfect for stiffeling a passing game like the Pats and the PAck depend on.

NFL says Texans off. Tackle Duane Brown did not throw a punch at Jaguars LB Clint Session on Oct. 30 and rescinded the $7500 fine assessed.
"Lord, beer me strength."
how many times
do they look at the tape?
Seems they should have found all the angles before fining the guy in the first place. What kind of show is Goodell running up there?
TJ must throw 30 times for us to win.
Apparently fines have to be knee jerk/reactionary
and not based upon logic

Eep.
That’s a lot of losable games on the road. I’d be content with 4-4. On the bright side, everybody in the division has to play the NFC North. And the Tits will draw Pittsburgh and San Diego, so they won’t necessarily have an easier schedule than us. Unfortunately Indy gets a freebie with Cleveland, but even with Manning I think we’re 2-3 games better than them.
Let’s get healthy, patch up that interior O-line, and roll to a second consecutive division title. Although this year, apparently we have to engage in something called “playoffs” before we get to start thinking about the draft and the 2012 season.
damn it people. STOP SAYING TITS.

That was my first impression
Very daunting road schedule at first glance. But, we never truly know how good or bad everyone will be.
I just hope for a schedule similar to this year’s: get the hard part out of the way early.
I do think there is the potential for some groovy prime-time matchups. Assuming Bob Costas meant what he said. And I read somewhere that turkey day at Detroit has a very good chance of happening.

Dude
Rough road schedule. Who cares though, when we win 13 games next season no one can argue that we should be anything but the #1 seed come this time next yr.
LETS GO SUPER BOWL BOUND HOUSTON TEXANS!!!!!!
Rectum!? Damn near killed 'em!!!
We went
3-1 against the toughest division in football this year.
Bring on your best. Our DC gets a few more draft picks, and we get a slew of pro-bowlers back on the roster between now and then.
TJ must throw 30 times for us to win.
what am I thinking?
16-0? sorry guys. that was really presumptuous of me. I meant 19-0.

Looks like we should have a couple of prime times in there
We should get at least two out of the packers, pats, jets, lions, and ravens. A thanksgiving game against the lions would be tasty.

I'm gonna need to get my Soldier Field tickets as soon as they go on sale!
So excited the boys in Steel Blue are visiting the Windy City next year!
I like a healthy Texan team against anyone on our schedule
Especially at home. Bears, Pats, and Lions on the road could be tough ones though. I might have to try and get tickets to the Pack game, that should be a good one.

Rough looking schedule
But should make for some interesting football. If we still do as well next season against these teams, I will be thoroughly convinced.
