I hope it’s not going to be last week where I was lying wake at twenty to six in the morning, having had no sleep, and due to be up at half past seven for work! New tactic tonight - I’m going to try and sleep through the game as see the result in the morning. Wish me luck as I don’t think I’ll be successful. Feel relaxed about tonight. Whatever happens the AFC East is surely sewn up but obviously a win will keep the pressure on the other Division Leaders. After the Steelers defeat I was expecting to go into bye week 3-3 so being 4-1 now is fantastic. I am concerned the Titans run game, particularly Henry, will do a number on us.

Not expecting much from tonight - the pessimistic side of me thinks we'll head into the bye at three and three yet we should still win the division considering issues elsewhere. Anything will be a bonus from this and it'll be important not to throw toys out of the pram after tonight if things do not work out.

Isn't it the Bucs?

Got to be said, the Rams look a real threat this year, particularly in offense.

Eventually having early picks at the draft should pay off as a strong roster is built off the back of them. But some franchises have no clue how to use the opportunity effectively, the Jets being Exhibit A.

He's also spoken to Brandon Staley who, as I suspected, basically said he didn't want to put the pressure on Vizcaino due to the crosswind, so he took the touchdown rather than bled the clock.

Hope Andy Reid is fine and indeed the hospital trip is purely a precaution.

The Steelers had Watt available.

Ah so delay of game DOES still exist then? After the end of Raven-Lions I thought it had been done away with.

Vizcaino was having an exceptionally tough game - I wouldn't put it pass him missing the chip shot.

It was bizarre - either Herbert ignored the playcall or they didn't trust the kicker. Considering the wind, I wouldn't blame them on the latter.

And a sigh of relief that the Josh of last year is there. Fantastic game from him today; along with the rest of the team!

I’d argue he looked like 2018 Josh for the first six quarters of the season, then 2019 Josh for the next two. I don’t think we can expect a leap in form from 2018 to 2020 so progression is key. I’ll be happy if 2019 Josh turns up against Washington with a couple of plays which feel like he’s getting back to last year’s heights. Steady improvement through the season as he and Daboll, hopefully, work out new designs and ways to work around new defensive strategies against us.

35-0 is a closer game? If so, this season will be fun.

The Titans approach was very strange then - Henry is running rings around Seattle yet I don't think he was used on that play?

That was a ridiculous penalty from Seattle. Could be game.

And then burned the clock down running around aimlessly. Can imagine the reaction on here if that was Josh...

He's decent but every play seems to be Henry, Henry, Henry, Henry. Even worse, Seattle seem unable to stop him.

Perhaps I'm being harsh, but the Titans feel so reliant on Henry in terms of offense it's unreal.

I think the big issue is the contract. If 2019 Josh had returned on the original contract it maybe wouldn't be so concerning (though disappointing) as we'd have some room to manouver. Now we've given it to him it's getting to the point where we cannot afford him to regress too far, otherwise we'll be in trouble until the contract runs out. Everyone has issues and bad days, that's just a case of being human. But Josh only reached perhaps his minimum level, after six quarters of play, in the second half of today's game and even then he looked shaky; the quality that was there is missing. I do wonder whether they're perhaps over-coaching Josh to a degree - it's almost as though they're trying to manage his arm which makes sense; too many deep throws have been off target. But it seems to be effecting basic throws; throws which he would have completed without hesitation last year. Add in defenses maybe working out our routes and plays plus a porous O-Line, this all results in a perfect storm. It's something we and he can work through, though.

Josh is going to pick up a serious injury if we're not careful, and Mitch won't be far behind him. Our O-Line is not of a strong enough standard.

Starting to think someone should give him a slap before each series. 😄

The good sign is the miss to Sanders didn't fluster him at all.

Josh had a good set of plays at the end of the second quarter last week, then regressed. Let's hope he keeps that standard up today because that's far more like it. Now, D, start this quarter as you finished the last one.

Our second quarter was better than our third quarter against the Steelers.
