    Those rookie QB contracts really are great…San Francisco in particular is living the good life paying Purdy essentially chump change for the impact he’s having.

    Yep, it’s either Ravens or Chiefs…Man if we’re able to pull off a win against either and punch a ticket to the AFCCG for the first time, I will get a Stroud or Meco tattoo 😂 And I’m not saying where!

    True, true…once you’re in anything can happen. That’s what’s great about playoff baseball and football, I lament that the NBA tends to be so predictable on that note though 😂

    If only I would’ve had the confidence early in the year to try and grab him to be my starter in fantasy 😂 Thanks for the good wishes, the AFC is loaded but hey, we’ll see how things go!

    Thanks, I’m sure the boys will be up to the challenge. I’m not saying that the Colts can’t beat us; I’m just saying give credit where credit is due. What starters did this incredible Cleveland Browns team with their terrifying defense and Cool Joe Flacco rest? We beat them fair and square, quite handily, after everyone and their mom said (and hoped and prayed) that we wouldn’t stand a chance. Hey, we won the important games and earned a playoff spot. Jacksonville losing was just a Cherry on top. You’re right, strange things happen every year. Wouldn’t be the first time a team imploded the last game of the year with the playoffs on the line…

    Thanks! And you’re right, iron sharpens iron. Playing against good, familiar competition multiple times a year can help make a team better. Like the days of the Steelers/Ravens/Bengals during the Roethlisberger and Reed years….

    This. No one thought the Texans could pull it off, that the Browns were going to demolish us again. So much for that. Stroud is the OROY and has played damn good throughout the year. His poise and maturity is enough for me to believe he will continue to get better going forward and not randomly fall off a cliff like some people seem to think.

    Um…the Texans made several stellar plays throughout that game, actually, which is why the Colts needed to make the 4th and 1 (and to score, too) in the first place. We can nitpick plays and play what if, but Stroud and the Texans did what had to all game to win. And let’s not be revisionist about this Browns team. Most thought the Texans stood no chance against Flacco Reborn and the number one vaunted Browns defense. But now that we made them look silly, they’re bad all of a sudden? Nah.
  9. I know he won the Heisman, kind of came out of nowhere like one of his predecessors, Burrow. I still need to look at his film.
  10. Penix looks great, but as someone else mentioned, he’s been playing for a long time. Bennett last year had the same issue but Penix looks like a better prospect in my unprofessional opinion. I like Quinn Ewers but something about him is…I don’t know if I can see him as an actual franchise QB. Williams looks like the real deal despite his attitude problem but I haven’t seen enough of Maye to have a real opinion on him.
  11. This upcoming draft class is supposedly very deep, so I wouldn’t doubt that you guys look into a possible heir apparent to Cousins.
  12. Thanks. Yeah it turned out to be a dogfight, more so than I expected given how things went at the beginning. Congrats on a good season that was better than anyone predicted or expected y’all to have. And yep I’m keeping tabs on the Jags game at work as we speak 😂
  13. Hey how’s it going! Yeah I’ve been busier than usual but I checked in earlier this week in advance of the game to see how everyone was feeling. Good and mature responses from the posters here, I was anxious but this team is highly improved with Stroud and Meco and it shows! I thought you guys were gonna be playoff bound when Josh Dobbs was showing out despite it being his first weeks with a new team! Sad to hear it didn’t work out, Jordan Love has come into his own it seems…
  14. Let’s go Tennessee! Hold onto this lead 😤
  15. Yep, finally a VERY meaningful game between the two of us. I think the last game with stakes like this was our playoff game where Andrew torched us for 222 and three touchdowns. Good to be playing for something again! May the best team win 😤
  16. I don’t know if my blood pressure can handle all the suspense 😂 Looking forward to a good game! Also hoping the Longhorns bring in the new year with something special tonight as well…
  17. Yep. It is okay to give one player his props without having to compare or drag down another player. There seems to be a myth that the pure pocket passer has faded away. The elite QBs make plays in the pocket and can get on the move as well if need be.
  18. Meh. Just because he doesn’t like to run a lot doesn’t mean he is incapable of doing so. Any QB is going to excel if they have “all day” to throw, no one wants to be hassled in nonstop in the passing game. The Texans have already invested heavily in the O-line, through the draft and in free agency (Tunsil, Tytus, Mason, Scruggs, Green, etc.) They have just been devastated by injuries and still managed to destroy Jacksonville yesterday.
  19. Ha, we’ll need it. The Jags are the big boys in the division now until someone else can prove otherwise. I think Stingley got hurt too so Trevor will likely have a field day with our DBs. I know Colts have a tough game this week too, but the Ravens are definitely looking a lot more beatable than they have in years past. Good luck!
  20. Things will get better when the Texans get their actual starters back on the line out there. Having second and third stringers playing naturally leads to the run game suffering and the QB getting hit more.
  21. Stroud had a sore throwing shoulder and was resting it, apparently. He’s probably going to start.
  22. Yeah Jacksonville still has this aura of a team that’s good but is still new to it and may not be sure how to keep it sustained. They do have Pederson and Lawrence, so they’re definitely going to keep trending up. But you’re right, they aren’t the Chiefs or Bengals just yet.
  23. Yep, typical haha. People see some rookies come out of the great with all-time first years and start expecting it out of every guy, unrealistically. Appreciate ya man, I see Anthony is much further along in his development and gameplay than anyone could have expected. If everything shakes out right we could see these two going at it, along with T-Law, for a long time.
  24. This is what happens. People sit around and wait for top players to have a bad game or two to come in and sentence them to death. Those same people vanish when the players get back to what we usually see from them.
