The season was over when they lost last week. I said they’d lose 31-17 so I was slightly off on the score but I knew they weren’t winning in Jacksonville.

If, like me, you believe Jones isn’t the long term answer, today’s events, as much as they suck, are better for the long term health of the team.

For one, it makes it less likely that they sign Jones to a big money long term deal, which I think would be a huge mistake. Also, they at least get to see what they have in Leonard, as much of a long shot as that is.

Also, it takes some of the sting out of what was going to be a collapse anyway.

The early part of the year was fun though.

I was never on the Jones is the man wagon, but I also understood he wasn't the biggest problem. Who knows with Leonard. He didn't have a horrible game while he was in. I'm sure they scaled the playbook back a lot. Hell, Brady was a late round pick, Purdy was a late round pick. Get him some practice with the 1's and open up the playbook and see if he can do it. Only way to truly find out. Until our defense figures out how to get off the field we are stuck in mediocrity. Might as well see what we have. If he ain't it, or doesn't look like he might be it, then pay Daniels a mid tier QB salary and move on past the not having any first round picks for the next two years.

Next opponents: AT Seattle
Seahawks have allowed a total of 9 points and have gotten 8 turnovers in their last 2 games. Yikes.

At least I can go back to watching with zero expectations like I have the past couple of years. :)

That's what I'm doing, too. Only way to survive other than stop watching.

I didn’t even watch today, because I knew they were going to lose. I didn’t expect the Jones injury but, as I said, as much as it sucks, it’s probably a net positive for the franchise.

Now I can relax on the couch with some bourbon and watch impassively.

I do feel bad for guys like JT, Nelson, and Buckner though.

So who do we root for?

As much as I hate the Texans, seeing the Chiefs miss the playoffs in Mahomes prime would be cool.

Also, I’d rather the Texans win the south than the Jags. The Jags are losers in every sense of the word.

At least that Texans defense is fun to watch.

That is a tough question, I agree with your reasoning....I despise the Texans, I only hate the Chiefs, but I abhor the Jaguars...so no matter who wins I'm screwed! You are right though, seeing the Texans win the division would be better than seeing the Jaguars win it.

I guess I have to root for the Texans over the Chiefs!

To answer my question form earlier, YES, Monday Night Football games can be flexed between weeks 12 and 17. They are replaced by more interesting/important Sunday afternoon games, but must be notified of the change within 12 days of the game(s).
So we'll see if the 49ers vs Colts gets flexed.

No reason to flex the game we’re still in the thick of the playoff hunt

Welp Houston is gonna get the win in a comically officiated game, Mahomes got his ass beat all game and no roughing penalties.

They called the Texans for delay of game at a pivotal moment, just fuckin unreal

Stroud completed 3 passes in the 2nd half
