Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 12/18/2016

From a PFF article: "Osweiler is currently 35th in the PFF QB rankings with a grade of 40.9".

That's out of a 32 team league. Unfortunately, the guy is trash and is not going to get any better. I just do not see how anyone can justify this guy playing. I don't feel sorry for him and I don't think he should get another start. He's had his chance - and he's also taking it to the bank.

Radio saying Las Vegas has the Titans favored at 55% to win the division, Texans at 45% to win the division. Note, Vegas usually bases things on "public perception"..... The Titans have beaten KC and Denver in the last two weeks and are indeed "hot"....

FiveThirtyEight is a little kinder (using whatever formula they use) having the Texans at 55% and the Titans at 42% to win the division.

Whatever, it looks like the Titans & Texans are destined to solve it in a showdown in Week 17. On the road, @Tennessee. It will be a playoff game for the playoffs. Our "new QB" has one more preparation game (Cincy) to shake off the rust and find some chemistry with the receivers....

-------------------------------------------

Texan defense is now #1 in yds/gm allowed. Of course that isn't the full picture...... They're 12th in pts allowed with 21 given up per game. Getting Mercilus back will help. JJo? Hope he's ready for the Titans game....

I think TENN is still the one on the hot seat. They need to win out regardless. We just need to win 1 of our last 2, if I'm not mistaken. Of course, they have a much better schedule since they play a crap Jags team in shambles and then us at home. I'm hoping the Jags bench Bortles this next game. The guy is a mess.

True because they have to win both games and we don't. They can't take their eyes off of the Jags this weekend.
Who knows how the Jags will come out next week ? Very likely depressed and flat after losing their HC but maybe the interim coach (whoever that is ?) will get them fired up and they will be at home ?

Video - Every Tom Savage throw - about 4 minutes.

Hop really should have had the pass in the endzone about half way through the video... Not the 4th and 1 pass, a deep ball thrown later in the game....

Amazing with all the injuries the defense is in first place. I think points,allowed is a function of field position and turnovers by offense.

Also, I think the way Texans win is slightly misstatements above. If either team ends up at 10-6 they win the division. If both teams end up at 9-7 the Texans win. If either team looses both, the other team wins.
