State of the AFCS

So is it me or does the entire division look bad?
Houston got shut out by NO. Their defense will keep them afloat, but who knows what Savage/Watson will become. Tennessee just had their first team worked by the Bears. Mariota's "slimmed down speed" resulted in 2 sacks and their defense still seems spotty in the secondary. Still don't think Mariota will last the entire year. Jax, well, our run defense has gone to hell, but we'll see. Our defense on paper puts us in line with Houston, however we have the same issue at QB. Albeit with more offensive playmakers, but that does no good without being able to get them the ball. Plus the OL isn't looking good. Indy is bad pretty much all around, especially with Luck not being healthy. To top that off, once Luck comes back, they're down to their 3rd string Center and didn't make many OL upgrades. The division will be won at either 8-8 or 9-7 again, and honestly, any of the teams could take it depending on how the ball bounces this year.

I don't think preseason is an accurate way to gauge how a team or group of teams will perform in the regular season.
But it is strange that I haven't seen many reports regarding how the top picks are doing. Besides Watson, has anyone seen many updates on Corey Davis, Adoree Jackson, Malik Hooker, Quincy Wilson and the texans' 2nd rounder are doing? I've heard Davs has a hamstring, and Jackson has struggled somewhat learning CB but he's a good returner. Other than that...nothing. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
I know it's preseason, but the third game usually says something, and the titans and texans both looked like last year's Jaguars, in the third preseason game. The division is weaker than people think, could be another eight win AFCS champ this year.

It's a very weak division. And neither team has honestly been able to flat out runaway with it consistently enough. I think the clots up in indy could be a good team if they dumped Chuck Pagano already. I still feel they should have done that the year he was out with his illness. I know that sounds very insensitive and harsh but the best coach they had at that time was Bruce Arians and they should have kept him as the head coach.

Krapitz is a hack writting turd.....always has been. Just trying to get some attention. And if Luck isn't starting the season, Stephen Morris is the obvious choice.

Anybody hear Colin Cowherd on the radio earlier today?
He pretty much thinks Andrew Luck's career is done. He thinks the injuries are more serious than they are admitting and they'll never be the same. Not saying I believe that or not, but if it were true, imagine the Colts getting the #1 overall pick again and selecting the next great QB...again.

I'd have to imagine he gets another 2-3 years before there's an out in that contract. I know Brees came back from a bad shoulder, but he's the exception for sure. I hope Luck stays healthy and mediocre keeping Indy in cap hell and QB purgatory for the next 10 years.

Almost all of Houston's offensive skill position starters were out due to injuries and let's be honest here, it's kinda hard to focus on a exhibition football game when you're worried about your family back home and your home may be under water.

Yeah. You guys in Houston and the surrounding areas hang in there. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
