I'm glad we didn't make the playoffs now. No way we do what the Titans just did.

Henry has been a beast but I get Fournette vibes. Fournette was doing the same thing that year against us. Can't run like that forever in this current NFL.

You and I are on the exact same page here. He is an electric runner and its fun to watch him do spin moves and all this other stuff. But when he trails in a game and is forced to rely on his arm and he cant use his legs to come back he simply isn't good enough to do it

It just gets tiresome or comical, depending on one’s POV, how the fans and media keep buying into the hype with running QBs.

Every time one of these guys comes along, he’s touted as this revolutionary player and yada, yada.

It takes the league a couple seasons to get tape on the guy, then like the Titans did, they force him to play to his weaknesses... in this case throwing outside the hashes.

Teams rarely see an option run offense, as it’s a dinosaur in the NFL for a reason. So it is going to give them trouble for awhile, but defenses will catch up to their offense eventually.

Jackson will then have to learn to run a pro set offense, and we will see if he can evolve or if he is just another in a long line of running QBs that flamed out.

what a great game last night. I love watching the Ravens lose even moreso than the Patriots. Was originally rooting for San Fran to win it all but now I guess I should root against them because they would tie the Steelers for all time SB wins

I'm rooting for whoever comes from our side.

Kansas, Houston or Tennessee. Preferably the latter

Love Coach Cowher. I didn’t think he had a HoF resume but I’m glad he’s there.

He got in before Jimmy Johnson. People don't understand there's a lot of politics involved and it's not just your stats. You have to represent the NFL. Same reason why AB will never get in. Harrison will be fringe and will only get in with blessing from the Steelers. They still support him for some idiotic reason.

The football gods apparently want to give the Titans every chance to get to the SB...if HOUSTON wins, that’s a division opponent they’ve played many times and beaten...

Only question for Tenn. is, can Henry maintain this pace for literally 4 weeks in a row? If he falters and the Titans have to rely on Tanehill, they could be in trouble. If Henry can continue to steamroll defenses, I don’t see anyone stopping them.

Andy Reid special. I'm pretty sure I can count the number of coaches in this league that aren't terrible on 1 hand.
