I think you're missing some words in this question. I'm going to assume you're asking WHO the AFC South teams are going to play this week.

Jags play Colts in Indy.

Titans play the Lions in Tennessee.

OTOH, that might not be what you're asking at all.

Titans and Jags are still winless.
Indy got a win, but is still suspect.
Houston has two very impressive wins.

Let's wait a few more weeks. I still say we win division, just like I've always said we would, but whether it's a cake walk or a difficult run to the division championship it's still means we're the AFCS champs.

Power rankings are out and I'm sure somebody will start a thread. Niners and Texans galore at #1 and #2.

The nearest AFC South team in in the 20-somethings. Just power rankings, but I see no mud here.

We've played two games and after each one was over Dolphins and Jaguars fans were wondering if they were going to get the first pick in the draft next season. Each opponent was out coached so badly their respective fan bases were left wondering if their new coaching hires were mistakes. We turned each defense on its head badly enough to go into half time up almost 20. What else do you want, to beat em blindfolded with one hand tied behind their backs?

Listen.

If we don't score on every possession, it's a fail. And it's a Kubiak fail.

If our defense doesn't stuff every play, it's a fail. And that's a Smithiak fail, too.

20 point victories are for wussies.

If we don't start running up some big damned scores, there's going to be hell to pay.







That was sarcasm, btw. In case you couldn't hear the dripping noise.

Listen, I ain't like that. I like good football, I want to see good football. If we're playing sloppy football, playing flat & manage 6 minutes of awesome defense & "good" offense against mediocre defenses.... I'm not going to be all "rah, rah" Texans.

I'm also not going to say the sky is falling. Vs Jacksonville, I said we had some dominate moments... that's all. I'd have liked us to look like the team I think we can be on a more consistent basis.

It's early in the season, we've got time to "gel" so it's all good. This weeks game was much better, we played at a high level from start to finish, what I'm sure Kubiak is striving for. Not playing down to the competition, but playing our best on every snap regardless who our opponent is.

this is a bigger and more important game then denver if we can win this one we can pretty much put our main foe the titans in a early hole and since we already won a road game in jaxs we will be sitting pretty good

eh... we'll probably win the division regardless. Beating the Broncos head-to-head might help us in tie breakers later on.

who knows??

Yep... conference record is one of the tie-breakers.

[Playoffs]

Colts 1-2
Jaguars 1-3
Titans 1-3

I just tossed about 300 rep points your way for that. Laughed my butt off when I read your title change.

Nicely done.

Aaaaahhhh yeah!!

I'm running linux. I just set the picture in my previous post as my splash/log on screen.


pretty cool in a geeky kind of way.

Week 5 is not looking good for our division mates - would expect all to be underdogs:

Packers @ Colts
Bears @ Jaguars
Titans @ Vikings

Wonder how much losing Pagano is going to hurt the Colts?

Honestly, 4-0 really doesn't mean anything other than you've had a good September. Good Septembers aren't what it's about. Remember how the Bills started last year? & the Cards have got Kolb as their QB, sort of. They're just as likely to end the season 4-12 as they are 12-4.

It's not disrespect, it's reality.


Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they have no shot, only it's too early to tell. People aren't thinking the Texans have a shot because we're 4-0 right now. They think we've got a shot because of what we did last year & that we are 4-0.

Very good point. Exactly why teams like New England, Baltimore, etc. get an almost excessive benefit of doubt.
