***OFFICIAL*** Titans @ Patriots - Game Thread (2 Viewers)

What impresses me about the Patriots...they rarely seem to have stars in the O and D line...yetbalways have guys making plays at the right times in D...and when needed end up protecting Brady so well.

Coaching.  Nobody is as good as the Patriots when it comes to coaching.  They put in the work and it pays dividends.

they have the best oline coach in the game

 

[Bri]

they have the best oline coach in the game

I think Munchak is and have thought so for as long as I can remember

 

[McJose]

Lotta football still to be played.

Not in this game but just in general.

 

[-OZ-]

Well the refs certainly didn’t cost the Titans this game.  The Patriots are truly on another class. As I Steelers fan I really want the Steelers to win tomorrow.  As an NFL fan, I really want the Steelers to win tomorrow.      

You're right, that was my point a while ago. The pats don't need the help but it's irritating nonetheless.

Yeah...first half he wasn’t helped by receivers. 2nd half he looked overwhelmed.

Losing a T against a good pass rush will do that.

The Titans are a fine team on the rise. The pats are probably the best team, best Dynasty perhaps ever.

Anyone have the full list of Celebrity Big Brother? I know Carrot Top, Snooki and Rick Pitino are part of the cast but haven’t heard the rest of the lineup. 

 

[Bri]

Byard's done reasonably well on Gronk, excellent for a 2nd year guy

 

[NutterButter]

Jesus.   Guy is unreal.  

 

[Bri]

You don't smack the ball down by 21 points and thrown by a legend, you try and catch it

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Who could have seen a beatdown by the Patriots coming?

 

[Bri]

Brady watched too many Mariota highlights. He had to show his own flavor of a Mariota play there

That’s not the start of a joke?

Carrot top, Snooki, and Rick Pitino walk into a bar...

 

[McJose]

Lol good lord

 

[McJose]

That’s not the start of a joke?

Carrot top, Snooki, and Rick Pitino walk onto a football field...

They put 35 up on the Titans

 

[Bri]

unreal low center of gravity there to stop on a dime, tip toe, and reach out

 

[Bri]

Remember when the fans were all "where'd we pack the car? Was it by the gahden?" as the Titans were up 7-0? Ahh those were good times

 

[Bri]

Can't D that much better. Outstanding by Gronk

meh looked better live, nevermind

 

[JuniorGong]

Amendola and Lewis with great games

 

[Dez]

Things change fast in the NFL it wasn't log ago people were bailing on Gronk and saying Jimmy Graham was the #1 fantasy TE.

 

[Mister CIA]

Clearly, Tennessee lacks talent.

Weird post.  BB has had 15 1 st round draft picks, 8 of which were DL or OL.  You can add Daniel Graham to that and make it 9.  Ben Watson, another TE would make it 10.  Another 6 in the 2nd round.  It's not like they find some guy off the scrap heap.  They invest heavily in linemen via the draft with high picks.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Run that out.

 

[NutterButter]

   Titans 39 plays - Patriots 30 first downs

 

[Bri]

Clearly, Tennessee lacks talent.

psssh, nah. Issues like plenty of teams, but JRob has been outstanding. They sorely need DL help and one G but (hopefully a new coach) a coach has a lot to work with. They're awfully young at many positions

 

[Anarchy99]

Would have 63 points by now with Garoppolo. Since Brady has passed the cliff and is all washed up. 

 

[Dedfin]

Brady 337/3 right now.  He could have 5 TDs by the end of the game.

Reaching for Chad Jackson makes a man change.

Hyperbole 101 class down the hall, to your left

I think they run it a ton. And perhaps we will see Hoyer. 

 

[NutterButter]

 They have 17 yards in the 2nd half

 

[Dedfin]

Reps make perfection tho

 

[fred_1_15301]

Punt?  Give me a break.

 

[The Claymaker]

Brady has no reason to take another snap in this game. 

 

[Bri]

Seems like they could use some receivers and a pass rush.

DL but not receivers. They have too many, far too many. Sharpe was a starter last year and is on IR. 40?50? catches as a rook. WHo knows how he pans out. Taylor looked great in preseason and a few excellent plays to start the year. Davis ought to be special. Matthews is one of the best on third down. I'm not a Decker fan but others are. 

I could imagine replacing Decker with a veteran surehanded presence that he was supposed to be, but they have some real nice young talent that must get time on the field. 

IDK if Taylor is the quickest or the fastest WR in the NFL, but when they use his speed he's wow. I was grumpy all year that Davis and Decker returned and the preseason star became an afterthought

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yup and Hoyer will need the reps when the Jags knock Brady out of the game early in the first half next week.

 

[brun]

Press A to exit.

Well none of those guys seem to be getting open tonight.

 

[The_Man]

Now 1-5 vs the spread this postseason 

going with Vikings and Jags tomorrow, so you know what to do 

 

[The_Man]

Too bad Titans didn't have a freshman QB to go with after halftime 

 

[Bri]

Well none of those guys seem to be getting open tonight.

The Titans base offense is 3 TE and 1 WR, second most common is two TE and two RB.

Many of us fans are beyond upset with the offensive coordinator and/or scheme Mularkey inserts

 

[Bri]

all three of them jumped too early

 

[Bri]

This week Lebeau said one time he got choked up listening to Belichick talk about Slater. I wish I had heard the story- guy must be a coach's dream

 

[msudaisy26]

Hoyer vs. Bortles, edge to Hoyer. 

 

[The Claymaker]

 Someone needs to remind the Steelers they have to beat the Jags before they get to lose to the Patriots. 

 

[Bri]

Let Cassel play where his career began. He's probably retiring

It won't happen but if I can dream, Fitz would fit incredibly well. More likely they'll sign a player like kamar Aiken.

But if they want to run 3 TE, sign Jimmy.

How many were considered stars?  Ben Watson? Daniel Graham?

Come on man.

 

[Rove!]

Things change fast in the NFL it wasn't log ago people were bailing on Gronk and saying Jimmy Graham was the #1 fantasy TE.

And they all failed to realize that it is Kelce

I thought I just said the Jags would win.
