I don’t know why I shouldn’t bet my house on Houston and retire to the Dutch Antilles. +110?

Zach killed Houston last year, this is going to suck.

Thursday road games are always dicey. Houston is 6-2 but has a bit of smoke and mirrors in them and they'll be without Diggs and Collins. Of course the Jets have also given up 62 points to Russ and Jacoby the past 2 weeks so who knows?

Also, thought it was odd the Jets have another TNF game? I thought teams generally played 1, maybe 2 if you got a thanksgiving game?

With 17 games, other short weeks (Black Friday, Christmas) and some teams not being on TNF at all, the result is 14 teams have multiple short weeks (not counting Saturday games or off MNF). That part is bad enough - making teams play three games in 11 days like the Jets did at the start, the Seahawks Weeks 4-6 and the Bengals Weeks 14-16 (at least, there might be others) is criminal.

Edit: I think every team used to have to play at least one Thursday game but there are six teams (ARI, CAR, IND, JAC, LAC, TEN) who have no truly short weeks.

I think this is 3 in 11 again for the Jets

Bills MNF
PITT SNF
TEXANS TNF

Another night game, another crappy NY team being one of the teams. This season's schedule has been a travesty. The same 6 teams on every night game. And the Cowboys, Giants, and Jets suck. So half of the six are puke-tastic.

Wait a minute, shouldn't you be happy? I thought you didn't stay up to watch night games.

I have been going to bed pretty early but waking up to watch the 2nd halves of a lot of the games. I really am annoyed more by the Giants and Cowboys being on all the time. Those teams are ugly and boring. At least with the Jets, you get the circus.

Previous TNF games had some nice scoring. This one is looking like a rock fight.

The PrimeVision feed is using the skycam rather than sideline all 22 if you want to sort of feel like you're watching live Madden, except almost over the line of scrimmage.

Seeing it live I didn't think it was close to being dropped, but the replay shows it's probably a fumble. LOL

edit:

WTF they never showed what happened to the ball? Fucking amazon...

I’ll never understand why these dumbasses drop the ball when the are about to score a touchdown

Stroud doesn't look as great with an injured OL and a depleted WR corps.

Kenyon Green was taken 14 picks ahead of Cole Strange, and he's much worse (but until right now I guess healthy?)

First think I thought of after that "fumble" was SOSH. Second was I wish that happened when BB was on Manningcast instead

Yeah it moved as he tried to tuck it in before the hit. Tuck rule saves the JETS
