The Texans have enough defensive firepower to beat the Jaguars, unlike the Giants who let them move up and down the field when it mattered.

 

I still think the division comes down to the Colts home game vs the Texans. Besides, you play for the highest seed possible. When the Colts won the SB, we were a #3 seed hosting the #4 seed Patriots in the AFCCG due to a series of upsets in the divisional round. So, having the tie-breaker over the Bengals who have one less loss than us, we have to try to get the #3 seed as much as possible even if we cannot get a bye assuming the Bengals lose one later in the season.

Ehhh.. the Colts can lose that game to Texas and still would be big favorites to win the division. Big thing is  the 3rd tie breaker which is record in common games. The Colts have a two game edge here. So here's how I at least think it goes. If the Colts beat Tenn and EITHER Cleveland or Dallas that gives them 10-6 record and clinches the division. So even if Houston wins out ( beats the Colts and Balt ) and finishes 10-6 also.. they tie in record vs each other (1-1) and tie in division record (both 5-1). So now goes to common games and by beating just Cleve or Dallas , the Colts would finish a game up here.

You are spot on.  Houston losing to the Bengals and Giants helps us immensely.

Huge odds against them overtaking us.

 

1) They have to beat us at home.

2) They have to beat Baltimore

3) Colts need to lose to Cleveland AND Dallas.

 

Plus I'm conceding them beating Jacksonville at home and on the road which I think is tougher than us just beating Tenn on the road.

      Kind of seems like you're setting up a litmus test for whether a reporter is "good" or not based on whether they do this thing you don't like. So maybe you could share some well-respected media in your opinion -- sports would be most relevant -- and then we could share some examples.    I agree that the best practice would be to reach out to the subject for a response. But if the subject declines or doesn't acknowledge the request, now what? Add a line saying 'subject declined to respond,' and now the unnamed sources are viewed with more legitimacy?

      You want a pricey decending player, Ballard needs ascending players for our next SB run in a year or two. Simmons would be a waste here.   Cross over performed his last couple games Hawkeye, maybe you should lighten up Francis. Besides, Ed Reed couldn't cover both sides of the field when neither of his corners could cover deep. That is where the heartache is coming from again.

      Give me an example of that. A report by a reporter from a legit news organization that doesn't at least attempt to give the subject a chance to respond. I think you can find bad journalism examples of what you're saying is common, but I don't think you can find good journalism examples - by which I mean examples from well-respected reporters and well-respected media. What you're suggesting is okay definitely isn't okay based on what they teach in journalism schools.

      I just read the article again to see the structure. You probably are right. It looks like he's starting to list the players in the ranking with quotes from scouts and it just cuts out at some point in the Harrison part and you have to pay for the rest.   So yeah... Please ignore my semi-conspiratorial allusions above. That's my bad.   Still not sure how ethical it is to post such disparaging comments about the character of a young player when those quotes are coming from scouts that might have conflict of interest in sharing such information before the draft.

      To the bolded, reporters share unfavorable quotes without a response from the subject all the time. In that case, it's up to the consumer to contextualize, and unfortunately, the way we consume media generally doesn't lend itself to proper contextualization.   Just look at this thread for the last few posts. We're trying to find an article that we've all seen referenced, but in reality, I don't think any of us have actually read it, because it's paywalled. What we've read is clips and aggregations, and now we're debating about whether the report was responsibly shared.
