    Weird feelings this morning.

    Lots of good memories of former players for me today.

    They were the hardest among playoff teams with the Texans and Jacksonville having significant separation. But a few low win teams were stronger because they didn't play themselves twice in the division.

    YouTube TV and a VPN. You can get a trial of both before the game starts.

    Yep that was my point about the teams above them all being terrible. Being terrible makes the strength of schedule of the teams you play lower.

    In fact there are only 3 teams with winning records in the top half of SoS, the Texans (10-5) are at #5, Rams (11-4) #8, Steelers (9-6) #14.

    Edit: I just realized I'm looking at a chart that only goes through week 15. It might be slightly different.

    Doing same thing: cleaning, dishes, and doing laundry with the Everton match on (COYB), might be about time to start the pregame.

    I'm pretty sure that's what Chargers fans were posting last week. How'd that go?

    We'll see how it goes, but I do love how the Texans have essentially Schrödinger’s O line, they are considered the worst in the world when making excuses for CJ Stroud but now considered amazing when we are trying to talk ourselves up before a tough game where we'll likely have to win on the ground.

    The Rams are basically in the same position we are in facing a team with a REALLY easy SOS after having made the playoffs despite a REALLY difficult SOS.

    Hopefully the theory holds up and both the Rams and Texans win.

    The Seahawks defense set a pretty high standard last night vs The Niners. Can the Texans defense match that effort, granted Seattle fans fuel an enormous home field advantage?

    SEA beat SF 41-6

    HOU beat SF 26-15

    They'd be a good SB match-up.

    It has to be a blowout. CJ can make mistakes but if Texans are still in it you don't pull him for Mills. It has to be Bills Oilers level blowout. They aren't pulling CJ before that.

    CJ has flashed top tier QB enough for us to know he has it in him, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, even you.

    We are m
    We are much better with Trent Brown at RT and Howard at LG. I think this is even more important with a sloppy field. It affects quickness more than MASS.

    I think it would be coaching malpractice to let CJ make it a blowout before benching him if he's playing that poorly.

    If he was a franchise caliber QB, that's different, you live and die with them, but CJ isn't on that level.

    Again it depends on how the game is going. Davis Mills is not some spark the team is secretly clamoring for.

    CJ is closer to franchise QB than he is replaceable.

    Really nervous for today. Probably the best shot to go to the Super Bowl in years with Denver losing nix for the year
