Next Up: Bye Week

You need 10-6 because like you said we lost the tie-breaker. I doubt Titans and Jags both finish 10-6, not saying it’s impossible but it’s tough seeing both of them finishing with 10 wins.
Another thing that's "in favor" for us is that both of these teams haven't looked that great. I need to see more from the Jags to convince me that they're not a Jeckyl-Hide team. As for the Titans, I had them winning the division (still do), but they look like a 9-7 team at best.

I just don't see both teams finishing 10-6. That's just how I feel about it personally, it's not often you see two teams finish that highly in a division so up-and-down as theirs.

I'm actually kind of upset that West is back. I know Harbs will be a dumbass and take all of Collin's carries away. If we gave Collins 20 carries against GB I could guarantee at least 120 yards. Same with Boyle, I liked how Williams played but it seems like this team just wants to stay mediocre.

If he does this, which wouldn't surprise me, it'd give me another reason why I think he needs to go.

Allen offers more value in terms of being a pure receiving back and he's done a solid job running the ball. Good change of pace back and he keeps the defense honest.

I'm very confident Collins sticks as the #1 RB right now and with Woodhead's return, I honestly don't think West is going to find himself in a good spot for reps once he returns.

Yea for sure I really like having Buck. I think we need to put him in the slot more than running him on first down. Our staff has been in love with west for no reason ever since he arrived, and it sucks considering he defines average. If Collins fumbles one time or fails to produce, I can almost guarantee he will be taken out and benched for west to have 3 yards every carry.

Woodhead will be back in the Green Bay game and will take sometime away from Allen. Not sure how much playing time he will have initially though.

If we don't roll with Collins as the starter for the rest of the season then it's a huge mistake. Let him grow and continue to iron out his fumbling problem (he's taken much better care of the ball recently) so that he's even more prepared for next season when we should hopefully have a healthy O-line (and hopefully some promising rookies as well).

My RB rotation for the rest of the season would go like this:

Starter - Collins
Backup - Buck
3rd down - Woodhead or Buck

Unless there's any injuries (Woodhead probably) then I would keep West inactive.

Allen has cashed in on Woodhead absence honestly. He’s easily the better runner and while he’s not on Woodheads level as a receiving back, he’s certainly excelled in that aspect compared to West and Collins. I think Woodheads spot is unique, I don’t think he’s viewed as a RB but rather as an offensive weapon.

I’d like to see Allen utilized more as an receving back. I’d like to see more 2 backs set in this offense because I feel like him and Woodhead can do serious damage.

Flacco says we need to come out in attack mode. Means they will let him do it for 1 series, see it's successful and can it the rest of the game. He shares my same sentiment that there's nothing to lose. LET HIM RUN THE FUCKING SHOW!

It feels like he’s been saying this for the past two years. Lack of big plays have been an issue for a while.

I’d rather see it canceled than have Pats or Steelers win. :p
