The AFC South looks bad today. No one has played well. 


In 2021, Wentz and folks went up 9-6 to go into a win and in situation only to go 9-8.

 

The next 2 games will define Steichen and how he rallies his troops in year 1. Responding after a loss is how a team is more often defined. Will they repeat 2021 9-8 record to miss the playoffs or will they go 10-7 to give themselves an excellent chance to make the playoffs?

If we had to lose one of the 3 remaining games, the Falcons game was the one to lose.  With so many AFC hopefuls with 7 losses, we can reset the playoff picture.  It looks like 10 wins will get someone in once again.  A WC will most likely come from the east and the north.  The third WC is up for grabs.

With the Jaguars losing, if Tannehill gets another start under his belt, the Titans might be able to beat the Jaguars in the last game.

 

So, in other words, the division might still be in play against the Stroud led Texans since the Jaguars could get to 8 losses.

If Hou, Jax, and Indy are 9-7 by the end of the afternoon next Sun, then I don't think our game against Hou will be flexed to Sat or Sun night.  The NFL will want the Hou/Indy and Jax/Tenn games to be played in the same time slot in order to keep the division title drama going.  I think the week 18 Sun night game will be Buff/Mia.

Man, I turned off the game at half time and this happened, lol :) 

 

I am more happy to see Sean Payton and his head hunting squad get hammered than a dead man walking in Belichick getting hammered. Broncos fumbling their way out of this game gradually, very happy to see that.

 

Just goes to show you how hard it’s to climb back from 1-6, just to even it up and then get a December push on top of that while playing desperate teams to make the playoffs.

This Patriots win messed up 2 teams. Patriots’ draft position and Broncos’ playoffs possibilities.

 

It puts Patriots behind Panthers, Cardinals and Commanders in draft positioning. 
 

The big question will be, will the Cardinals get rid of Kyler Murray?

It also shows that in this lost season for New England, Bill Belichick hasn't lost the team or the locker room. They're still playing hard for him in this, which is most likely his final season coaching them.

This Raiders team was considered a contender going into the season. They’d have a better record had McDaniels not been the coach at the beginning of the year. 
 

I see a team that is going to give us all we can handle next week… 

O'Connell has been awful, cant hit any receivers

    • You know who is also kicking better?   Chase McLaughlin.   
    • Not trying to over simplify but it is pretty simple. SS calls plays that he believes will work against a certain defense and he has confidence his players will execute that play. The results right now are that his players are NOT capable of executing those plays on a consistent basis enough to win games. The only question moving forward is, do we have good enough players to start to execute more consistently or not and is SS making it as easy as possible for players to be consistent. It's not just a talent thing. It's a attitude and smart thing and then the level of talent. Most of the time, the best players are the smartest players with the right attitude. How talented they are is a bonus. My point, i question our teams attitude and football intelligence as much as I question their talent. Ex.....Stopping the run is as much attitude as it is talent. A big part of why JT is JT, is because of his intellegence.
    • Thanks for the updates.  I made my "first pass" projected picks based on where the players are ranked on tankathon right now.  Obviously, subject to change!
    • He hasn't  been that good other than the 1 game he won last year.
    • The biggest problem is that the rest of the team is playing like trash around the rookie QB.    Of course the essentially rookie QB that has played 6 NFL games is going to be a rollercoaster.  He's known to have accuracy issues, and is for some reason being forced to be a pocket passer.    When the highest paid O-line in the league can't block, that's problem.  When the WR's can't catch passes that bounce off their hands, that's a problem.  When the highly invested in $$ D-Line (like 5 1st or 2nd rd players) can't block and LB's get consistenly washed, that's a problem.  When the highest paid kicker in the league can't kick and gets hurt constantly, that's a problem.  When the defensive scheme is to "bend not break" but the bends are to the tune of 100 yards a series, that's a problem.   Now's the time to strike in other areas while you have a QB on a rookie contract. Actually, this all should've been figured out already by the GM and all positions should've been rock solid by now.
