I agree that losing Fournette doesn't particularly make us worse. We were bad, we still are bad.
Throwing out fournette's numbers from last year doesn't exactly move the needle either, I honestly believe most RBs in the league could put up similar numbers given the extremely high usage he had. He is an average RB who isn't part of our long term future, and Ozigbo, Armstead and Robinson all now have a chance to step up and prove themselves in the league. Don't get wrong, this team is a joke. But Fournette being cut doesn't particularly change how I feel about them in the long or short term. Frustrating we couldn't at least get a ham sandwich for him tho.

Even if it did, the Friday before Sunday's game this player WILL slip on a banana peel and go on IR for season. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Thompson and Shenault getting those receptions now will be extremely +EV compared to Fournette.

We are now a one dimensional offense. Defenses will key in on that and focus mainly on stopping the passing game and it's gonna put a lot more pressure on Minshew to make plays. If we had a single RB on our roster who I thought could be a premier RB, I'd be fine with the move, but we have a bunch of "nobodies."

He's gonna be 30 in October and seems to get injured year after year after year. He's played one full 16 game schedule in his entire professional career.
The Colts are an improved team and should completely run away with the division. I think we get absolutely throttled. I'm gonna say the final is......
Colts 37 Jags 23
Josh Allen is going to put Rivers out of his misery, our inexperienced DB's feed off of Rivers because he starts seeing ghosts in the shape of Josh Allen and K'lavon Chaisson. Minshew Mania makes chicken Salad out of chicken [BLEEP] and we win the game 20-17

He's gonna face constant double teams. He's an extremely talented guy, but his stats are gonna fall, (by no fault of his own.) I see 7-8 sacks for him this year.

It's not impossible; and Week 1 is when teams are truly gelling, especially with the wacky offseason we had. So alot of games are either closer then you think or complete blowouts. No in between.

I'm guessing Week 1 will be ugly, but we will get better as the season moves forward.
Colts 33 Jaguars 13
This is a results-oriented business. There are no trophies or titles given for "moral victories" or for "winning the draft". Our record with DC is 37-86. 6-10 is our 2nd best season in 8 years of Caldwell leadership. These are the FACTS.

Got no idea what to expect teams to look like week 1. I think your right with how games go and I think the early weeks will be who makes the least mistakes rather than the best team. |
