I meant when Rodger’s went down.

 

Gosh no. Siemian is one of the worst QBs I have seen play in the NFL. He played for the Vikings in a backup role. He is worse than Christian Ponder.

 

Curtis Painter may have been better than Siemian.

I agree. I’ve seen him play in person as well as for multiple teams. He’s not even a serviceable backup in my opinion. If his number is called to be starting, something has truly gone wrong for that teams season, which I mean yeah it’s the Jets… 

 

But seriously though, he’s one of the worst QBs I’ve seen play.

Joe Flacco has been so underrated his whole career. Not a great QB but good, a lot better than Trent Dilfer was.

I think he’s being overrated a bit this season because of how bad the QB play has generally been with so many inexperienced and low caliber backups… but yeah he’s definitely better than Trent ever was. 
 

But put the Browns in a cage match against the Bills and I’m taking the Bills with Josh Allen.

What are your thoughts on the other games?

 

Did anyone see the story about the Packers suspending Jaire Alexander for the next game for conduct detrimental to the team?  What did he do wrong? He failed to say that the Packers, who won the coin toss to start the game, would be deferring to the second half.  He told the ref that the Packers would start the game on defense. I believe that because he did not say "defer", the Packers did not get the ball to start either half of the game last week.

 

It seems harsh to suspend him for that for an important upcoming game.

Bills are off their game.  It's a toss up to me.  Home field determines the winner.

I think that game would be 50/50. Flacco is a winner. I think Allen is a better QB but he has his moments where he has some bad turnovers in the playoffs.

Colts and Vikings both will win for starters, let me pause for station identification and let me think about my other locks.

He was not a captain and wasn’t supposed to be out there.

Alexander will miss Sunday's game against the Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers have placed cornerback Jaire Alexander on the reserve/suspended list for "conduct detrimental to the team" regarding his participation in Sunday's pregame coin toss before their 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Lol. Maybe I exaggerated (about his being worse than Painter), but I stand by my comment that Siemian is one of the worst I have seen play in the NFL.

    • I think if anyone thinks that the Titans will finish ahead of us is pretty delusional. Sorry I will disagree with you there. I don't see the Titans winning more than 7 games. If they go 7-10 that will be a good season for them looking at their roster. We swept them last year and they had Henry.   I am not even being a Homer as I am picking the Texans to win the Division. My early projections show: Texans 11-6 Colts 10-7 (WildCard 7th spot) Jags 9-8 Titans 7-10   -I do think we will be a playoff team if Richardson is anywhere near above average and better than Minshew. I also think Taylor is going to have a huge season with AR at QB.
    • I have confidence that, barring injury, their WR and CB groups are much better. Ridley and Boyd are proven at this point. They might not have crazy upside, but they have proven production, which is better than the guys they were running out there with DHop last year. Same for CB. Sneed is a stud and Awuzie is pretty proven.   It's hard to count on health, but those should be much improved.   Not as sure about their OL. But it was so bad, that it almost has to improve, especially with added talent. And I think Callahan is a good OL coach. Just a jump to an average OL unit would do wonders.
    • Equal footing is reasonable. TEN's roster looks vastly better from last year (on paper), even though some of them are older. They also do have some young guys left over from the JRob era that could still do something.   It really just comes down to QB. TEN hired an up-and-coming offensive mind to be their HC. We saw how much of an impact Steichen made. So if Levis is any good and Callahan can fix that offense (and his dad can fix the OL), I think TEN could be in the hunt. 
    • Do you have confidence the areas of need for the Titans were addressed? Latham is a more natural RT and he’s gonna be playing left, they still have questions at RG and RT, their LB core is awful, and Sneed has huge concerns with his knees. It’s why no one else other than TN wanted to trade for him.
