I can't think of ONE team we wouldn't have an equal chance to beat. And our defense didn't play their best game and of course the offense didn't. But I saw a defense that can force any QB in to turnovers and stuff any teams run game. They have the personnel.

Haven't been able to say this since '17. Going on a limb I'm more comfortable with this team than the 2017 team because we actually have an offense. That 2017 offense was much easier to stop than this one. They didn't trust Bortles at all. The WRs and passing game had no consistency. That team had more stars on defense but by week 4 I think this defense will be just as good if not better. Much better safeties.

After today's showing in the AFC South across the board it's looking like it could be a winnable division.

The games will be closer this year. 8 - 9 could possibly get you the 4th seed here. Will boil down to trench warfare more than actual QB play.

Any of these QBs could be streaky but it's the running game that wins it all. Whoever runs the ball better and stops the run better will ultimately win this division.

They need to beat indy at home this weekend.

Yeah the division is wide open this year, not one dominant team.

Colts - Probably the best overall but big probably. Ryan is older and doesn't have dominant WRs. Jonathan Taylor is scary to face. They should have the best defense but they're not dominant.

Texans - I actually fear this team more because of the unknown. Lowkey I really like Mills and he's been better than Trevor so far. No other elite players but they may play good team ball.

Titans - Was never worried about them too much after losing A.J. Brown. Then when they lost Landry I knew they were in trouble. They have Henry but I think we're built pretty good to handle him.

I think our team can beat anyone this year if the offense settles down. I have a feeling Doug is still feeling things out but will settle the offense down. He has the tools he need. Same thing with the defense.

I feel good about the squad.
