Don't get me wrong i'm not advocating they are a 7 win team. They are what they are, just I think it's a really fine line. But I also agree that at this point the Packers could sure use a top 10 pick. That being said, I do think the pieces here better than how they are actually playing.

Just as easily a Kyle fuller pick and a Richard Sherman penalty away from Raider territort of a 2 win team

Oh look! Throw the ball, get a touchdown!
The running game sucks although Henry has looked better than Lewis, le sigh

Strange Brew · 11-26-2018, 08:39 PM

I don’t think that will be a fumble.

Strange Brew · 11-26-2018, 08:43 PM

Booger McFarland is the master of the obvious, isn’t he? Seems ESPN could do a lot better.

Sylvanfan · 11-26-2018, 09:03 PM

Jeez where did those critiques of Deshaun Watson go? 8 straight wins for Houston and really they can still claim one of the top two seeds.

Each Titans Running back is somehow worst than the previous one despite there only being 2 backs

Nadal Fan · 11-26-2018, 09:10 PM

Mariota finishes the game 22/23 for over 300 yards and 2 TDs and he still gets blown out.......Just Titan things.

Luder · 11-26-2018, 09:13 PM

Mariota goes 22/23, 303 yds 2 TD
Let’s try running the ball!

I can’t wait until he finds a team that knows how to use him.

This makes me extremely sad as I just ordered a Mariota jersey, damn you Black Friday!!!

Strange Brew · 11-26-2018, 09:17 PM

O'Brien gets ridiculed a lot, but to win 8 straight games, with this offensive line. And actually develop a running game. These guys are really being coached up.

The Big Chill · 11-26-2018, 09:20 PM

The Texans schedule this season is pillowy soft, but winning 8 in a row is a great achievement regardless of the opponents.

Davis had 39 rushing yards today, Henry and Lewis had 38 combined. Our O-Line has been trash all year and until they fix that we will not be able to contend with the big boys.

DropIt · 11-26-2018, 10:32 PM

Dion Lewis has never been a between the tackles sort if guy, or even a handoff guy for that matter. He is still a valuable pass catcher but Derrick Henry unexpectedly being awful has thrown a wrench into that whole offense dynamic.

Luder · 11-27-2018, 07:13 AM

Theoretically the Titans could run the table (lol) They have some pretty poo opponents to finish out the season, depending on which Titans team decides to show up. I don't know if 10-5 gets a wild card spot though, and the last game of the year against the Colts will be tough. I would imagine Saquon Barkley puts up 400 yds himself against the Titans when they play the Giants.

Man that's next level futility. As a Raiders fan I can sympathize but at least they had glory days in the past. A single playoff win in 62 years and nothing promising on the horizon is pretty putrid. When it goes on this long you have to point to ownership hiring the wrong people over and over.

If I am the Lions, Stafford is gone at the end of the year. He isn't the answer and they need to blow it up.

Sending hin to Jacksonville makes too much sense. I'd love for the Likns to hold on and try to keep building around Stats Padford

Senator Clay Davis · 11-28-2018, 04:22 PM

Maybe it's me but there could be a few QBs available in trades/FA so going after Stafford seems unwise. Bengals finally moving on from Lewis, so Dalton might be heading out with him. Ravens with Flacco. Giants with Eli, Dolphins with Tannehill, Raiders with Carr. I would say Stafford is better than all of them, but his contract is also abysmal and those guys could be free or pretty cheap. I imagine the Lions expect a first rounder for Stafford, at least.

Erick Estrada · 11-29-2018, 12:28 PM

I think Carr will be back with the Raiders next season. There are no good QB's in this draft and no better free agent QB's. That said Gruden have been pretty unpredictable to date. The Jaguars have an issue in that cutting Bortles invokes a $16.5 million cap penalty which hurts their chances of bringing in a free agent QB unless he's on the cheap. Even Case Keenum got $25 million guaranteed so average QB's are getting close to $20 million on the open market. Jags have to hope there's a team like the Browns a few years back with Osweiler that will take his deal off their hands for high draft picks.
