Colts were the best team. They lost to the Jags who took over Best Team, but then they lost to the Titans.

The Titans are clearly, and scientifically proven to be the current Best AFC South team.


Sorry about your division winning cant be Best AFC South Team team.

So the Jags had the title belt coming into the season. They lost to the Titans in Week 3. Titans hold the title belt. Titans lose to the Colts in Week 11. Colts hold the title. Texans failed to beat them for the belt in Week 14. Colts are the AFC South Champs unless the Titans can take the strap in a Loser Leaves Town match in a steel cage in Week 17.

If you are not going to win the superbowl then the best thing you can do is get the number one overall draft pick, hence Jags #1.

With the Texans remaining schedule, they'll probably get to 12 wins. My friend asked me today if they're going to the worst 12 win 2-seed in history. I think it's possible.

They're a roster that's propped up by like 5 players, and who squeaks out wins against an easy schedule. Their schedule is currently the 3rd easiest in the league, and their strength of victory is 13th. Their offense is basically Watson hoping Hopkins can make ridiculous contested catches. Their defense is good up front, but they hope you just make more mistakes than they do and you hand them the game. Their margin of victory is 22nd in the league.

Lindley was the 3rd string QB man that team was really good sadly palmer died then the backup also died

I honestly think the Jags would've won a couple of these Kessler games if they'd gone with Bort, but maybe that would've been unproductive, I don't know. I just... don't really buy that Kessler is better than Bort.

They're both very bad, but Bort at least has a home run ball he can try that actually works from time to time. Kessler just has nothing.

Maybe it's insurance against self sabotage. Like what if Bort rips off a 300 yard 3 TD 0-1 INT game for a huge win and suddenly they're tempted to give him another chance next year

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
I feel like Coughlin is part of the reason Kessler is still starting. Probably some old school bullshit hardass stuff he was famous for with the Giants (except for the super bowl years).

The Texans roster is no worse than any of the crap Peyton Manning carried to the playoffs in Indy.

Those Colts teams had tons of talent. It was just on one side of the ball and special teams. The defense was just a couple dozen dudes who won a raffle.

They definitely had a design idea. Offense scores. Force the opponent to throw, turn Mathis and Freeney loose. It worked most of the time. When the offense didn't work though, it went south, and went south hard.

The Texans have always poorly gameplanned against the Colts. With Hilton and Luck, they stay in cover 2 with off coverage which just gets picked apart and they never adjust. Against the Colts with Freeny and Mathis, they ran a lot of slow developing plays or stretch running plays which lol that doesn't work against a defense built around speed

The biggest issue I think is that your secondary is fairly mediocre. Your defense is predicated on pressure from the front seven, and that makes up for their flaws. Luck is fairly mobile, and lately they've gone a lot of max protect, meaning it gave time for Hilton to work against guys who just can't run with him. He's made a career toasting the Texans.

I watched the Colts game. They're looking legit. The O line absolutely owned Dallas up front, not an easy team to run against usually but they were pounding it at will. That super young defense is also coming on at just the right time. This team better make the playoffs, at this moment I'd rather play the Texans than the Colts for sure.

It’s that plus if Bortles gets hurt (again) there’s zero chance anyone would sign him, which guarantees the Jags would take the full giganto cap hit. If he’s healthy they could release him and get a couple million back on their cap if someone signs him to a cheap deal.

At least I think that’s the way the contract is structured

While Leonard getting snubbed is still very bad, the true problem lies with the balloting. Leonard wasn't up against Mosley and McKinney as an ILB, he was up against Von Miller, Clowney, and Dee Ford as an OLB. He never had a chance in the pass rusher field.

You maniacs! You blew it up! God damn you! God damn you all to hell!!
The stupid thing is Leonard has accomplished about as much in the pass rushing realm as Clowney this season. Any way you slice it it's a horrible snub.

He'll probably be an All Pro though.

McKinney was good this season but Leonard did more to earn that spot. Surprising and doesn't indicate a very thorough attitude by the voters.
