Can Texans pull out of this funk?

Last year after the Texans claimed their first ever AFC South title they went on a 3 game skid that cost them the possibility of the #1 overall seed and even a 1st rd bye. History is seemingly repeating itself. If the Texans lose this weekend at Indy and Denver and New England both win they will be the 3 seed and seemingly play the Bengals again in the Wild Card weekend. Last year the Texans hit the playoffs and woke up and went on a run and came up just short of the AFC title game. I just worry about this years version of them team. I don't know that they do ANYTHING better than last years team? Especially now with Schaub struggling down the stretch. This team will go where he takes us, but one offensive TD in 2 games isn't going to beat Denver or New England... It may not even beat Cincy.
I have had nightmares all year of the Texans losing in the first round ala the Packers last year and Falcons the previous year. I just really feel they peaked early.
