I would, too - Chargers are probably the toughest matchup for us in the AFC. Not going to happen though, we'll see them again in WC game.

Unlikely because I think at least Houston loses.

disagree. we just saw Saturday night what we can do to them.
Chiefs and Cheatriots worry me. Chiefs have Mahomes Magic, and Cheatriots will eat us up with those crossing patterns with Gronk and whomever.

Jets at Colts for 2009 season. I was certain about all the other seasons but 2009 so I had to verify.

True but many here complained about those opi calls on Snead and Crab so I was giving them the benefit of that one. Beside I think people generally feel that calls which could go either way should be no calls.
Everything else I saw was pretty egregious regarding holding on their o line and those were critical factors in the play being made and they deserved to be called back.
And they’re losing players all the time
They’ve got only 3 players that scare me - watt, clowney and Hopkins... and tbh not a huge number of complementary pieces to go with it
I think it could hurt and help us. Sure it could help us due to the fact that we could work on all the things you mentioned and let players get rested and healed up that aren’t 100%.
However it could also hurt the momentum and that’s what I’m seriously concerned about.
Peyton manning for sure and either jets or chargers
Kareem jackson has been playing very well this year. Their lbs are also very big. Mathiue is very decent.. now that i think about it, they need a new dc..
Well if Houston loses and we win, we would be the 3 seed if the colts or titans don’t tie

Nah - NE are crap this year.

Their QB isn't half bad either.
depends on personnel - I'm thinking play-action - fake run inside tackles to the right, wr runs a 9 or a skinny post, in-line te runs a seam after briefly chipping and engaging the edge guy, the wing/TE leaks past the edge and out into the flats with some room to run, the back should look to block someone if they blitz/bite on the run-fake
the 9 is likely not an option but you design a look-off to the 9 route but the first read is the seam
if you have a guy like Boyle or maxx as the inline guy (likely) in stead of hurst or andrews then i want to maybe see that TE seam become a dig route, the wing goes and runs a wheel route and the HB leaks to the flat
not 100% sure - just off the top of my head what id do with that formation pieces
he doesnt scare me though - they've got lots of good or very good players but i was more thinking about it in terms of teams we wouldnt want to face and those are the 3 guys that would worry me if we matchup against them

No not half bad indeed.
I’m seeing it from the team perspective and not from what individuals a team has. IMO I’d rather face a team that built their record early on and has struggled if late than one that has been hot. If HOU loses at home to JAX they will be anything but hot.
The only other choice for the opening round is LAC. Having just seen them and the fact they’ve been hot I’d rather take on someone who has yet to see us. Let Indy deal with them.
Aside from that looking at the big picture if we advance we’ll go to NE rather than KC. I like that option better too.

Can we make Lamar Jackson the Green Energy spokesperson?? I say this because any time any pundit talks about him, the word "sustainable" invariably pops up! WTF? I'm tired of people counting him out and saying this isn't sustainable instead of just sitting back and marveling at what this kid has accomplished so far? I truly believe this offense will keep morphing into something that can not only be sustained over the long haul but also one that thrives.
