Royale with Cheese

The Bucs offense couldn't move the ball against the WFT who has a worse defense than the Jags. The Titans defense couldn't stop Zach Wilson and he is playing like a bottom 2 QB in the NFL. The Cowboys defense couldn't stop the Broncos offense led by Teddy Bridgewater....at home. The Broncos had 3....3 offensive line starters out for the game! The Ravens couldn't protect Jackson in the passing game and couldn't open up holes in the running game against the Dolphins. Yes, upsets just happen and especially this year.

I don't have a cat. I was feeding a stray cat for about 2 months but then she stopped coming around. Either the coyotes got her or my Vietnamese neighbors did.

It's still the rules.

How the F can you hate my dog? She protects me from invaders when I sleep.

Exactly.

You're making the Jags loss more than what it is. We were upset, it happens. Every good team this year has a bad loss.

Come on.

You said Brown is the second most important player. If you lose your second most important player, the line will shift. I was exaggerating having them as favorites but if Spencer Brown is that important, the line should shift a few points.

I understand the chain reaction. We aren't playing the Bucs or Titans or Cowboys this weekend. We are playing a .500 team that hasn't beaten anyone. We should still beat the Colts.

Exactly. I just read that Spencer Brown is more important than Diggs, Knox, Beasley, Dawkins, Sanders, Morse, Williams etc....

No he's not lol. We are I believe 7.5 favorites against the Colts. If Brown is out, do you think that line shifts to favor the Colts?

I don't consider RT a critical position. QB, DE, LT, CB, CB, DT, WR are much more critical than RT.

I agree but a RT isn't a critical position IMO. We are still a better team than the Colts.

It does hurt but if you're a good team, you don't let this position cripple your offense. Some people are acting like we just lost Allen. One poster said losing Brown means we will get blown out....he's not that critical. We won games without Brown starting as well.

Okay. So does that mean that if you lose a starting RT, the season will collapse? You're making it sound like losing Brown is like losing Allen.

A good team doesn't collapse because one rookie RT doesn't start. If we aren't good enough to overcome a rookie RT loss, then this team is really in trouble.

He didn't take the wheel did he? And you ended up vertical on a light pole huh?

A Ravens team that lost by 3 scores to a Bengals team, a team that it took a record breaking FG to beat the Lions, a team that got manhandled by the Dolphins? Also needed a late fumble to beat the Chiefs. The Raven's are not that good. What impressive win do they have? Did our run defense collapse against the Steelers?

I think Josh being under center will make a huge difference. Even with everyone healthy, our OLine has been below average with Josh in shotgun. I think our 3 highest shotgun percentage game, we lost them all.

That would be concerning. If Bates or Doyle can't start over Ford....how bad are they right now? If I read the tweet from Sal or Joe B with who has been lining up with the first unit and I see Ford....gut punch.

is he gonna take the wheel?

If we are relying on a rookie RT to make our break our season, then we have bigger problems. We will be under center more that will help the OLine. There have been major upsets the entire season. The WFT beat Tampa, Jets beat the Titans, Broncos destroyed Dallas, Dolphins manhandled the Ravens. Don't let the Jax game change your entire thinking on this team.

I'm actually not as worried about this as some of you are but I understand. I think Josh being under center and the playaction game will help cover up the OL weakness. I think we will be fine.

I would rather keep Williams at RG and have Tommy Doyle start at RT. I think Ryan Bates can also play tackle.

Ford cannot start.
