I was not wanting the team to intentionally tank. With all the players out for the game this past weekend it just felt like it was taking place naturally.

Travis Hunter out the rest of the season. The Jags' season is entering "death throes" stage. Although it would be nice if they would beat the Chargers for us on Sunday.

I agree with you there, but for everyone mad that we're not tanking....have you looked at the draft class? So far the top 2 prospects are Bain at DE from Miami (we don't need) and Caleb Downs Safety at OSU who won't go top 10 because of the position.
There are no sure fire talents in the draft this year, so it's not the year to intentionally tank. So just play the year out, try to get the offense on track and then just draft BPA.....on the O-line....in the 1st, 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd rounds.
if the Texans (4-5) take care of business vs. the Titans this week...
they will have a shot to get into the playoff chase vs. the Bills (6-3)
at this point the Texans have to catch either the Bills or Chiefs (5-4) in the standings

Going through PFF, and on an really encouraging note, Ersery was our top rated lineman (who played more than 15 snaps). Scoring a very nice 74.2 overall. Hopefully he is starting to turn that rookie corner. While he didn't have the greatest game against the Broncos (not surprising), he also had a really good game against the 49ers. So that's the highest graded o-line 2 out of the last 3 weeks. If he can continue to make progress, then that will be at least something to build on going into next year when we figure out the rest of the line (outside of maybe Ingram).

Losing to the Dolphins made the Bills suddenly really interesting. you would have assumed that would have given them a 3 game win streak before a pretty grueling part of their schedule - in the next 2 weeks they are home for Tampa, @ Houston, @ Pittsburgh. They also still have games left @ New England and home for Philly.
That's 5 games that could go either way. Their pushovers are home for Cincy, at Cleveland, and home for the Jets.
The Chiefs are @ Denver, home for Indy, @ Dallas, home for Houston, @ LAC, @ Ten, home for Denver, @ the Raiders. That's a little easier - I'm just going to assume the Texans can't beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead. That hasn't happened since 2019. How long ago was that? Carlos Hyde led the team i rushing and Darren Fells was the #1 receiver.
I still think there's a shot that Denver or LAC come tumbling down the standings. Although the Broncos have the tie-breaker over the Texans.
Still, so far they've won 5 games by 4 points or fewer, but still have KC twice, Green Bay, the Chargers, the Jags, at the Commanders, and at the Raiders.
The Chargers (7-3) finish with Jags, Raiders, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Texans, Broncos
In short, if the Texans can turn it around, that 12/27 games @ LA would get big in a hurry (TWSS).
Jaguars seem like a good candidate to start 4-1 and end up with double-digit losses. When is the last time that happened?
What would also be helpful would be for Pittsbugh to get its **** together and win the North because the Texans have the tie-breaker over the Ravens if they ended up with the same record.
TE Cade Stover has returned to practice and been Designated for Return.
