AR has to prove it, Stoud has been doing it since week 5

 

That game v the Rams was enough for me. I realize the sample size is smaller. I realize Stroud has always been this certain. Thought it was ridiculous that he was questioned at all. Still prefer AR

Titans interviewed Antonio Pierce

I think he is the right hire for them

Yes, that is a fair statement regarding the Texans. I would  just like to see Ballard more proactive this offseason and not let both the draft board and  FA “Fall’” to him in the name of “High Value” The team needs difference makers .Ballard likes to drop in the draft and accumulate picks. Dropping back has yielded Cross and Pierce- among others, and yes both are still developing… 

‘Hoping to see a more aggressive approach.

imo he is too afraid of making a miss by moving up

Stroud is fun to watch. He’s going to be a hot ticket sell like Burrow and Mahomes a few years into their careers starting.

Yeah, it’s a shame he’s not on Panthers and Young on Texans.

Same reason I watch WWE. I understand it's scripted, but like WWE where I have my favorite wrestlers and follow their journey throughout their career to see how they progress and win titles, I do the same with football, I follow a team and the players on that team and their journey to win a SB. It's really the same thing except wrestling admits it's scripted and other sports don't.

I guess, like wrestling, it’s an American thing then? Not throwing shade, it’s just weird to me.

Guess one silver lining is a competitive division “almost” forces you to be aggressive in how you handle roster building to stay above everyone else. REALLY hope Ballard is watching how quickly the Texans are improving. 

[Happy2BeHere]

SMH Flacco wth was that ??

[chad72]

There is the big mistake that Flacko made. He got away against the Bears because Justin Fields sucked.

Tomlin hasn’t really “won” though in a long time.

 

Yeah, but how many coaches have never had a losing season? It is hard to do it year in and year out. The Ravens are one of the only other teams that I can think of that is never too down.

I’d like it if Ballard tried moving up for a few higher round guys instead of moving down for a lot of lower round guys. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was a terrible throw

This game is over.

Game?

[holeymoley99]

Browns going home shouldnt have ever been in...

This. Late round guys are usually backups for a reason. You can’t rely on them for a entire season.

Yes with Stroud not making mistakes, it’s over 

[Happy2BeHere]

And to think…we dang near beat these Texans last week, and technically we shoulda beat the browns, our team isn’t as bad as we think, I expect next year to be much more competitive and able though.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Who gets the ravens next week?

[#12.]

I can't decide whether to hate Stroud as a rival or hate Ballard for not drafting him.  

[NFLfan]

Were there Colts fans that wanted Stroud? It seems most wanted AR or Levis. It seemed that S2 test (or whatever you call it) and something Stroud said turned Colts fans off.

Gus’s defense is not as bad as some think either,

Yes, we almost did with freaking Minshew at QB. Just add a few key pieces and hope your QB lives up to his potential

Something about that game had me thinking Texans knew we weeent scoring touchdowns and they played conservative after having the lead. It almost cost them.

AR is our QB. Now it’s time to see what he had. I am not one for hindsight.

Wrestling is also very popular in Europe, Mexico and Japan. There's a market in India too that WWE, TNA, and AEW have tried to dig into. I'm not sure how many people have my thought process on football, but that's my reasoning for watching it all these years. When the Braves, Nuggets, and Avalanche all won championships recently, it was all worth it to follow my teams journey and get rewarded. Still thought about it from a wrestling perspective even after winning those Championships. Same with the Colts when they won with Peyton Manning in 2006 and 2009 on the Colts, and when he won the SB in 2015 on the Broncos.

Cleveland is collapsing.

AR has potential, but it’s hard not wanting Stroud RIGHT NOW.

I was just asking a question for discussion.

Wrestling was huge here as well especially during the Monday night wars

Welp, now it’s definitely game.

Houston's defense is not too bad.

Who guessed Texans winning by 20+? lol

I led the charge for Stroud. My saying was Give Me Stroud or Give Me Death!  I was good with AR too but Stroud was my #1.
