The Colts absolutely do because they play in a dogshit division. The Ravens don’t look like a contender but it’s still nice to see them with a loss because we know for sure the Raiders aren’t contenders. [Reply]

But they seem to have a blind spot when it comes to the Raiders and also when it comes to Lamar. SMH.
The only good I saw was Lamar not tucking and running as much. Saw a couple of time he could have but didn't. Improvement I suppose. [Reply]

Except it really isn’t. Every time they tried to curb that last night, something bad happened. He’s not a pocket passer and he never will be. They’re trying to jam a square peg into a round hole. They need to let him be Lamar, for better or worse.
If they continue with what they did last night, they’re a 7-8 win team. Cleveland will destroy them. [Reply]

Colts play
Titans x2
Ravens
Bills
Bucs
Rams
Cards
They've already lost. And there's at least 3 losses in those above games. There losing no less than 5 games this season. [Reply]

The Titans are awful and the Ravens may prove to be as well. 3 of those teams are NFC and won’t count against tie breakers. I don’t think the Colts WILL but they could realistically go 12-5 with that schedule.
After the defense we watched on Sunday, we may have some games that go either way.
Methinks you’re a bit early with this but I get where you are coming from. [Reply]

We're truly spoiled with the Chiefs' efficiency and relatively mistake free football... or at the very least, not punting after a 1st down on the 18 or not ending a game in OT when you have the ball at the 1, etc. :-)
It was definitely sloppy at times but the Raiders didn't play one snap in the preseason with their starters. Seems they had to knock the rust off.
Maybe, the Ravens did the same for preseason? [Reply]

I mean maybe I'm wrong and Wentz ends up returning to his former self. I'll need to see it before I believe it though. [Reply]

Derp the rest of the league hasn’t caught up with Lamar Jackson. [Reply]
