Frank Reich is still an absolutely terrible decision maker. That game was 1000% on him and him alone.

I didn’t say many…

We lost the division on a tiebreaker the year prior. You are saying you think if we add Brady instead of Wentz last year that you'd have thought the TIts had a better offseason than us? I think that's a bit of revisionist history about how bad the season started and ended last year.

We can agree to disagree on Brady being the difference in a division title or not. But the second half of your post kinda outscores some of my criticisms of Ballard - until this year he has refused to go get the guys we need in free agency. He did that this year and I'm incredibly bullish on this team as a result; I think Irsay gave some ultimatums to Ballard and to Reich this offseason and it seems as if they've gotten the message.

Silly take my guy. Brady absolutely flips the outcome of Rams, Ravens, Titans, and Jags game at a minimum last year which absolutely is going to give us the division considering the Titans only lost 3 games with Henry out. I like Ballard a lot and think he is as good as anyone in the business at scouting and drafting, but there is a lot to question about his ability to bring in guys to put us over the top and his evaluating of what our window is.

You don’t think Luck is the difference in a division title in any of those years?!?

Well in all honesty I think they're going to be the only team you use 🤣

Are any of those really falling? That seems about like where their ADP was in most leagues.

You could have just picked a different team 😀

They look like the Super Bowl favorite IMO. Decisive Week 1 victory against the defending champs and still a ton of room for improvement. They could be absolutely terrifying when they are clicking on all cylinders.

Numbers don't tell the story on Allen prior to the fourth... He was absurdly good all night - started 14/15 and the incompletion was the INT that hit his receiver in the numbers. He looked like the best QB in the NFL, not just in fantasy.

Bills (-2.5) @ Rams Ravens (-7) @ Jets Browns @ Panthers (-2.5) Saints (-5.5) @ Falcons Colts (-8) @ Texans Jaguars @ Commanders (-3) Eagles (-4) @ Lions Steelers @ Bengals (-6.5) Patriots @ Dolphins (-3) 49ers (-7) @ Bears Raiders @ Chargers (-3.5) Packers (-1.5) @ Vikings Chiefs (-4.5) @ Cardinals Giants @ Titans (-5.5) Bucs (-1.5) @ Cowboys Broncos (-6.5) @ Seahawks Survivor: Titans

You're picking the Bears to win straight up?

I want to say Robinson was awful last night, but I'm not sure if he was actually awful or Stafford just refuses to throw to anyone not named Kupp.

Yes you give me crap offers I counter with crap offers.

Yes....

I've got Davis in two leagues and Akers in one, starting across the board with those guys. I am on shootout watch.

@Indykevfor real homie?

I completely agree. It's weird, you could make a case the Colts have been the best team in the division overall since they last won it, but it isn't amounting to anything. Yes, Luck put us in a bind but this year has to be the year. We got better almost everywhere on the field IMO, or at a minimum stayed even, with a team that should have been one of the scariest teams in the AFC heading into the playoffs last year. If they can't make a deep run (win division and at least a home playoff game, but really should be two unless it's a bye and straight to the AFCCG), then I will feel like it's a disappointment. I know how loaded the AFC is, I really do, but we I think are as good as any team 1-53 in the AFC.

It reminded me of a very exciting finish to a charity scramble.

A late first rounder though… Garland, Mitchell, and Mobley is a hell of a young core.

Wow. Central Division is loaded.

I mean agree to disagree, but maybe I think Ryan has more left in the tank than you do. I think he can be top 10ish at his position still (not necessarily fantasy), and I don't think you take a top 10 QB off of the field willingly. I don't think it's a stretch at all to say he is right at top 5 in the AFC... EDIT: I awkwardly just forgot the AFC north exists, so more like top 6-7, but still....

Swift, Sun God, Hokenson, and Williams is a really good young group of skill players.

What about a QB that can make the right read and get the ball out on time and on target? That seems more important than being able to run.
