He is probably a 20-10 range starting QB. Maybe that is a bit generous. The question I have is whether he can and will improve, or do we have to go find another QB?

I don't think we need to find another QB. A rising tide lifts all boats. As our defense gets healthy again it will imporove. Our O line got embarrassed by the Raiders, and improved. Our D line showed significant improvement against the Chiefs.

Brissett's improvements will come 40% from himself, getting more comfortable in his role, and 60% will come from game planning and playing to Brissett's strengths, along with OL, Mack, DL, secondary improving as they gain experience and health.

We are going to lose several more games, including a few the we should not lose, we have seen two of those already.

We *should* will all but one of our remaining games. We wont, but we should.

I think the Raiders May be a little bit better than people think. But keep in mind the Chiefs weakness is its lines and they have the worst run defense in the league. Offenses are funneled through the QB now. His decision making and accuracy determines everything. But JB will have to learn to pick up the blitz and exploit it. If he doesn’t we will need a new QB.

All *but* one....

In my rat's ass of an opinion, the Jets' upset win over the Cowboys this afternoon was as surprising and unexpected as was the Colts' upset win over the Chiefs last week ........ neither team was given much of a chance to keep their respective games close, let alone actually win them.

Agree, the Texans win over the Chiefs was surprising (maddeningly so) to me as well. Would have loved to have Houston come here next week a game back from us.

I think still if we beat them we will take over 1st in the division with both of us at 4-2 but with us a better record in the division.

Texans at 8-27 all time against us, 2-13 in Indy.

We'll be half a game ahead of the Texans if we beat them next week. The Colts are currently 3-2, and the Texans are currently 4-2.

Believe it or not, the Colts were bigger underdogs against the Chiefs (10.5 point dogs) than the Jets were to the Cowboys (7 point dogs), so in that sense our win is even more impressive.
