We’re still 6-3. But the AFC is extremely competitive, the Texans are only a game behind us, and our upcoming schedule is BRUTAL:
- Texans
- Bengals
- Browns
- Ravens
We can’t go into the Texans game on a 2-game losing streak with them likely continuing on a super hot streak (they play the Cardinals this week). If we enter that stretch of games at 6-4, we may come out of it barely .500 on the season.
To me this feels similar to the Bills game last night - we need to win these home games against inferior opponents if we want to make the playoffs, both for our record and our team confidence.
What do you think?
With a one game lead in the division yes these two division games are critical. It’s possible that 10-11 wins might be needed to win the south.
Few things: titans run defense had a skid but started the year strong. Their offensive woes should make for easy work assuming the jags offense gets right. Levis has no one to throw to and their OL is patchwork.
Texans are good but beatable. Their offensive scheme is from Kyle and Mike Shanahan and it has gotten McVay and McDaniel Hc jobs bc of all of the motion and disguise work before getting into a counter happy west coast offense where CJ Stroud has enough timing and good enough weapons to make plays. Their defense is ascending and loaded with top talent but they’re not worldbeaters.
