Wait. I thanked your post but strength of schedule is always measured on previous year. What’s wrong with the article?

Does anyone really use live strength of schedule as a measurement?

People and players aren't motivated the same way previous generations were. His style is a relic, no way 24 year olds respond well to hell fire and brimstone coaching techniques.

ESPN does apparently, and would that not make more sense than what teams did a year ago?

When you're talking about current performance, why wouldn't you? I wouldn't use current SOS until about 10 weeks in, but using last year's data to judge thus year's teams doesn't make a tonne of sense once you get past about halfway through the current season.

Khan had to have some sort of idea that this was happening when a guy like Ramsey seemed to be very clear that he was not playing another down for the team.

I think that Khan would like to be a good owner which is why he likely gave a guy like Gus Bradley one too many years not wanting to change coaches every year. But did he go too far in letting Drill Sergeant Coughlin have his way of trying to instill excessive team rules?

I doubt he's able to find anyone outside of a desperate type to take the next round here and try to repair the teams reputation.

Yeah its actually a decent slate today.

The Bills and Patriots is the one I most want to see. But I am intrigued to see all or nothing Jameis up against Watson.

It doesn't get much more Jameis than that he'll probably lead the league in touchdowns, yards, and picks. I think the Bucs will probably transition tag him and see if anyone is willing to give up the picks, but also could see him getting a long term deal too.

I can’t believe the Bucs are going to bring Winston back. Even with the gaudy stats you will never win with this guy.

Being a 30/30 guy is good in Baseball. Not so much for a NFL QB.

Should have kicked the FG on 4th and 2 and made it a 7 point game. Now the Texans have the ball at midfield. Arians is a great QB whisperer and OC but he makes a lot of bad decisions as HC.

Does Rich Eisen know that the Houston QB is not also named Winston? He has referred to Watson by that name at least four times by my count. Also called a blatantly incomplete pass a completion earlier.

Showing why PBP isn’t just a hobby.

Somehow this game is tied. Watch Jameis end up with 500 yards 6 TD's and 5 picks by the end of this.

Texans have been pretty horrible in this half. The only reason they are in this game is because of Winston.

This game is all Winston. It’s like he is the only factor.

Jameis might never be a great QB, but he’s definitely box office.
