    How do you feel we stack up in the division after most of the main football is over with in the preseason?

    Lots of changes in a year. New additions. Even some coaching changes.

    I'll start it off. Keep some of my comments for later. Plus there's 2 more games before we get to see the other 2 rivals.

    **Gonna start off saying I think the teams are pretty close. Gonna have a good all around division


    1) Tennessee Titans

    Yep. Because of the run game imo. I think that if we can run in the division we'll win it. Mariota is a solid passer and can extend plays. Murray and Henry give us security at RB and explosiveness. Sharpe, Mathews, AJ, Wright might finally be enough to put us over the top.

    Pass Defense is a concern. Expecting blitzes to hide the CB play when needed. Also a little concerned at TE with Stephens gone.

    2)Jacksonville Jaguars

    I think their Passing offense is gonna be dangerous. And they could beat us if they can protect the QB. I think they're going to surprise some people and upset the Colts and Texans this year. I think they'll have a solid D and passing game. Run game against some defenses.

    3)Houston Texans

    DeAndre Hopkins. Only reason I think they're still a threat. I actually think our O-Line will be ok in those games against their D and the Jags may be able to put up enough points to beat them. Could be surprised. Have been in the past with their D, but Mariota is getting better now and we didn't have the run game we have now or Lebeau calling our D.

    4) Indianapolis Colts

    I actually think they finish last. I think they have a good scheme, but I also think the other teams in the division have improved, and that they don't have the players that they used to.

    I don't think the Colts will be bad, and I'm actually expecting our division to do pretty good outside of playing each other, but I think they could finish last. The teams aren't that far apart, but some phases of the game can be more consistent than others. Top that with a QB that might have peaked and it could lead to them finishing last.

    I agree that each team is pretty close this year. Each of us are doing at least one thing very well...

    Jaguars: Passing attack is sick, and they have done their best to put the defensive pieces together. As much as I hate to say it, they look like the most complete team this year.

    Titans: Run game possibly one of the best in the NFL. Awesome. But we have one of the worst secondaries in a pass happy NFL. This will cause us to lose many games.

    Texans: Decent QB with Deandre Hopkins, plus JJ Watt & Company. Lot of question marks with these guys and the talent they do have doesn't make them favorites to win the division.

    Colts: Luck?...yup think that's it.

    Luck is over rated. Division is getting better, but the colts are getting worse.

    Their D is awful, and their OL in is shambles already.

    We should sweep them this year

    Texans and Colts OL in complete shambles.

    We should believe that we can win this division. That has to be team mentality

    As much as I would love to put the Titans at the top, the Jaguars are a more complete team. Bortles will massacre our sorryass secondary if we don't get a pass rush. Their running game has improved too.

    I think it's close between us and the jags. The big issue is, can we get pressure on the qb? Because our best cover guys can only run with hs wrs for about 2 steps. I think the texans and colts finish this year with less than 11 wins combined. I didn't like any of the texans moves and the colts didn't even try this offseason.

    Just took a look at the Colts Forum, their poll indicates most of them think they're going 10-6 to win the division lol

    If Cox can be healthy by week 1, I truly believe we can win the division. If Blake is on the field, every week the opposing QB is going to pick on him constantly. Blake can not be on the field for us to be successful.

    Every year I think we can win the division and every year since 2008 I've been disappointed.

    The AFC South is a toss-up this year, I can name pro/cons for every team.. I have a feeling it'll be a close race this year. Just hope our secondary and/or injures don't ruin it for us.
