To be expected. Cyber trash talking is easy. Titans fans will be severely disappointed in the end- never sniffed a SB victory, and they wont this time either. Well they did once, but they failed. One damn yard. I feel so sad for them.

I am sure they fully understand that. They had too much time off. In retrospect, resting so many key players against the Steelers was a bad idea. I had a really bad feeling since then. Add to that the Ingram injury, and Andrews being severely limited, and it spelled trouble playing a Titans team on a big time roll. Ravens weakness all season has been downfield throws to WRs on the outside. Credit Pees for minimizing the opportunities to the TEs over the middle. Work to be done. Good news is, the core offensive players will return, and it looks like Wink and Roman will both be back. This is a young team that by all measures overachieved this season. No one expected the level of consistency/domination they exhibited during the regular season.

Arm/hand yes. Lower body no.

Lets see what Watson is made of. Great big game college player. Time to do it in the big boy league.

I hate the 'new' interpretation of that rule. He was beyond the LoS.

Ma-home-boy doing his best Lamar imitation. God damn Ravens. Drink

I called it.

Watson needs to engineer a long scoring drive here, or KC will have the lead easily by halftime.

LOL Self destruction.

24-14 just like that.

Well that was dumb Houston.

Chiefs will win this game. Houston has a crappy secondary.

I am thinking about cracking open this DFH Raison D' Extra. Its a complex and boozy beast. Just what I need to drown my sorrows after that debacle last night.

Low track and transfer a bit further southeast this run. Something to keep an eye on.

HBD to your gf. HBD to you too apparently!

January in Alabama.

Andrews wasn't much of a factor either with the ankle. That first drive when he couldn't make that catch and it got picked set the tone of the game. Ravens limitation has been getting the ball to WRs down the field on the outside. They rely too much on the TEs using the middle of the field. Andrews being banged up and the Titan's scheme neutralized those bread and butter chunk plays. They have plenty of time now to work on that.

Titans are are playing clean football right now, and they are hot at the right time. Throw regular season stats out- that team has morphed into what we see now from the mid-season point. They are physical on both sides and have a dominant running back. Their D is playing very well now, and taking the ball away. Not a Dean Pees fan overall, but he is a competent coordinator and the Titans can put pressure on the QB without blitzing much. They will be a tough out next week.

Yeah and geography should not play a role in playoff seeding. It has happened in the past where a 7-9 division winner hosted a team that was 11-5 or 12-4 in the wildcard round. Seattle I think. NBA gets it right when it comes to playoffs and seeding.

GEPS has been doing this and has been a bit further south with the low track in general. Still a long way to go. You mentioned the confluence to our NE and that probably is the key area to watch in future runs. The strength of that will make or break snow/ice chances for the MA.

Was a bad day for purple.

Statistics are for losers, as the saying goes. Ravens were rusty, and seemed to play with no edge. They didn't make plays at critical times, and turned the ball over. The in-game coaching left a lot to be desired. But make no mistake, the Titans beat the Ravens in the trenches on both sides of the ball when it mattered, despite some impressive trash time stats. All their big plays led to TDs. and they didn't turn it over- that's ultimately what wins games in the NFL. An outcome like this was bound to occur at some point for a team that reeled of 12 straight in dominant fashion, and did practically everything right during that stretch. Law of averages. Happened at a bad time for the Ravens.

66 here. Went for a quick 2.5 mile hike earlier when it was 68 in a short sleeve shirt and felt warm.

All Purple. Lets do it.

I'm going to message DT and ask if this is meteorologically possible.
