Losing streak to 8 games in Denver, worst since the 50's, have to think there will be some big, big changes in the off season.

that Gronkowski hit is the most unsportsmanlike thing I've seen in a very long time. Wow

Gronk should be gone for the season.

Chance for Roger to go soft on Gronk in order to mend fences with Kraft.

8 wins and 3rd in the AFC. Coaching is holding this team back much like the Flames.

I'm not sure if Vance Joseph will get a second season. The offense is bad, but shouldn't be THIS bad that they lose 8 straight. The team was 9-7 last year, and the core pieces of the offense is all there. Shouldn't have regressed this significantly. Granted the defense has underperformed, which is on the staff also.

Come on....8 wins...so what?

20th in total offense
21st in passing offense
13th in rushing offense
11th in total defense (not bad)
5th in rushing defense (one spot where they shine)
19th in passing defense

17th in pts scored
23rd in pts against

29th in INT's thrown
12th in sacks against

28th in passer rating.

Combined records of teams they have beat? 42-64.

It just goes on and on and on. At best they are a mediocre team...its nothing personal but of not for the division they are in, they are at best a 4/5 win club at this point.

They are not a good team.

There not a Superbowl contender but they still have 8 wins and are third in the conference which has to count for something, beating good teams in Jacksonville, Seattle and Baltimore. There coaching is what's letting them down they have the talent to go far but I'm sorry to say Dick Labeau should go. Same with there OC Terry Robiskie. Mariota is carrying this team on his back, doing what he can with awful play calling, which focuses too much on running and not transitioning this team to a passing team. They should still make playoffs for first time in a decade so I'm probably higher on them than most because it's been so long I don't know how to handle the success haha

I had them winning the division...easily. I like the Titans. I dont think Lebeau is a big problem myself as the one area they can be good at times is on D.

That offense though? Awful. Mariota is/can be a good QB but his decision making at times is really holding him back. If he wasn't as mobile as he is, it would be a disaster and that's being generous.

I hope they really take it up a notch and get into the mix with the big boys in the conference, as right now its NE and Pittsburgh then everyone else in whatever order with Jacksonville (and that elite defense) leading that group.. I feel the same way about the Chargers to.

Yeah, I ain't even mad. Hawks played a great game and Eagles made too many mistakes.

Got 4, they talked about one of those plays in tonight's game, batting the ball out of the endzone.

Statement win for the Hawks.

Still can't believe the Chargers may win the division after starting the year 0-4

I think they are. They just have to beat the Chiefs in their last head to head and that should win them the division. All three 6-6 teams have their fates in their hands as all three teams play each other once more. It appears the Chargers are playing best of the three but they lost their first game against the Chiefs so that's the key game remaining they cannot lose.

Well they are on their 2nd offensive coordinator so I don't know if you can blame Joseph for not having a starting caliber QB on his roster. Firing Joseph won't be a good look on Elway as the issues this season are on him more than anyone. Joseph didn't give Melenik Watson (Raiders 2nd round bust) a 3 year $18 million contract to play right tackle. Offensive line is still a mess. Who's their starting running back? These issues are all on the GM.
