I think the best games will be tomorrow. The Titans just got Henry back and both of their top WR's are healthy. I don't see the 49er's having the fire power to keep up with Green Bays offensive scoring. But on any given day.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I was listening to local sports talk radio yesterday, and I was surprised how many Browns fans are rooting for Burrow and the Bengals. I don't dislike the Bengals on the same level as I do the Ravens and the Steelers, but I can't bring myself to root for them. Pulling for the Titans in this game, and the Packers later. Tomorrow, I'd like to see the Bucs and the Bills win.

I have been living very close to Nashville now for several years. As such I've sort of made the Titans my adopted second team. They're in the playoffs and we aren't. So I feel I sort of have to pull for them. They play the old style, smash mouth football I grew up with. I'm pulling for L.A. tomorrow for a couple of reasons. First I think Brady has enough rings. And secondly I'd love to see Stafford do well after being stuck on the Lions for so long.

I think a Bucs-Packers conference championship game would be a dream match up of what might be the two greatest QBs I've seen, with all due respect to Joe Montana.

I would like that too. And if the winner plays the Bills in the Superbowl.

Seems like teams are better off not even trying to return punts. You're just going to get flagged.

The Titans scored the first touchdown of the Nashville game, they've done it a lot on the strength of throwing to their two wide receivers, and throwing downfield. (They actually gave up on the run for a whole drive, 2 drives ago.

Got their first td without using their best Offensive player yet. A. Firkser. imo.

I think I still would've taken the point there, too early to go for that. Even if it was from the 1.

Burrow's career isn't going to last too long if he keeps taking sacks like he has so far.

Earlier in the game the Titans were sending 5 or 6, and getting there. Burrow was looking rattled. Then they stopped, and have only been rushing 4.

It's not that they can't cover Tee Higgans, it's that Tee Higgans gets overlooked because Jamar Chase gets so much focus.

With that sack the Titans have 6 sacks on the Bengals

I think the line said the advantage was 6-1 on sacks in favor of the Titans, now the opening play of the game gave the turnover adv. to 1-0 in favor of the bengals, So that is a +4 advantage to the titans in combined, turnover and sack ratio.

The Raiders fans board, claims that if they get to +5 in combined turnover and sack ratio, that they will have the lead over 90% of the time. I read that claim a year and a half ago, and wonder it it will hold up.

After that interception/turnover, the Titans fall from a +4 to a +3 advantage in combined, turnover and sacks ratio.
6-1 on sacks
0-2 on turnovers.
A team that achieves a +5 in combined... should lead according to raiders fans.

If you look back at the first quarter of the Bengals and Titans football game,
It was pretty (****** stupid to go for 2 in a game instead of take the one point lead an extra point would have provided!
They came away 6-6 tied instead of 7-6 leading. frown

I try to look at all plays objectively, and, AnD I hold a propensity to going back to the days of traps, Now, in the early 1980's that would have been incomplete, but tons of plays would have been that today are called catches.
I truly believe that was an int. and here is why, (it's because in real time, the weight of that ball was already being brought UP, at the time of the contact with the ground, therefore the ball was under the players control, "before" the contact with the ground which is enough,
imo, for if it were up to me, I would have made the same call, a good, interception for the Titans.

Now, the Titans are +4 in combined sack and turnover ratio, and, (as a +5 team should have the lead), if the Titans, had not gone for two after the penalty on their original touchdown, they would have a one point lead right now, as they should!

But, tie game 16-16, at the moment.

I do believe the Browns' use of analytics, ... would have stopped them from getting a blitzer free, as the Titans did, when they got that last sack against the Bengals from a blitzer off the edge!!

Analytics doesn't account for desperation of the opponent.

Bengals safety Jessie Bates has a low ceiling. He does just enough to not be good enough when it counts, and therefore I hope he stays on the bengals for a long time, so the Browns can continue to abuse him.
He's ripe for abuse in this quarter too!

At the time there was over 6:00 on the clock. Plus Foreman was running all over the Bengals D. If I’m the head coach I’m not caring who’s name is on the back of the jersey. I’m all about the win. And they lose.
