Glad the Ravens are getting their celebrations in now before Mahomes steals their lunch money and pushes their face in the dirt next week.

Same but next year works for me. The football gods have a bigger beef than we do right now.

I don't give a crap about the Titans and I'm still angry about it. They just can't win this game after that.

Yep. Only one we can't face is Cleveland.

Punting would have been the wrong move leading by 3 and a coin flip if leading by 7. Doing it trailing by 4 is fireable.

Took them 2 plays to get the yardage back.

PUNTING? For a tough guy, Vrabel is a huge coward.

Not every team has a Tyler Bass type of player.

Saints vs Bears is going to be boring as hell.

This broadcast team is really something. Intentional grounding, huh? The biggest annoyance is Steve Levy constantly lagging 2 seconds behind the audience in understanding what happened on a play.

It was cool that they made the AFCCG last year precisely because it's a style of play that you rarely see work anymore. But they are not currently built to make deep runs.

This game is the epitome of the problem with having a RB as your best player.

This is an incredibly dumb thread. Milano had a bad game by his standards but he's a top-3 asset for our defense after Tre and Poyer.

I agree that the defense didn't exactly show clout but in the modern NFL if you hold a team to 24 points you'll usually win. Since others have already covered the negative, here were some big plays the defense did make... - Poyer made the play of the game waiting for Pascal to get up and then stripping the ball - Addison got penetration to turn 3rd and 1 into 4th and 4 - Edmunds had a couple nice PDs and generally had good run fills despite a couple missed tackles - Milano stuffed the 2 point conversion attempt - Zimmer read a screen perfectly and forced Rivers to spike it - Hyde with 3 PDs including batting down the Hail Mary and swatting away a potential TD to Hilton early in the game - Taron Johnson made Blankenship feel self-conscious about his glasses, forcing the missed FG

In the sense that it could be a close game, sure, but their defense has played like hot trash. They are explosive though.

Heinicke is earning some money tonight.

Same. It's just that many of the great all-time RB seasons have been on teams that end up going 8-8 or worse.

He had 1,623 yards from scrimmage and 14 TDs for us in 2016. Looking back I feel like I barely remember anything from that season.

I've always known that I didn't know that.

That was...definitely one of the things you can do on kickoffs.

McKittrick?? That's where you are! Ya little scamp.

Dungy keeps repeating this thing about how Todd Bowles loves to stop the run on 1st down and then get after the QB. Is this not the goal of all NFL defenses in every game?

Given that WFT won't pick until the 20's in the first round, Heinicke can actually play himself into a starting role here.

Idiotic scheduling that we were at 1:00 and this was the primetime game.

Wow. Is Russ allowed to like...steal his OL's golf clubs after this?
