Here is how our season has gone this year:

  • We lost the game we were supposed to win then won the games we were supposed to lose
  • Major injury issues early in the year. Our top 4 offensive players (in order -- Delainie Walker, Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin and Marcus Mariota) missed significant time. All but Walker are back and healthy now though
  • Run game has been trash
  • WRs pretty good though there have been some bad drops and the number 1 WR the previous 2 years up and quit on the team
  • Pass rush is strong, we were able to put a lot of pressure on Carson Wentz, even with their good OL.  Rookie Harold Landry is doing well rushing the passer
  • Secondary is hit and miss. We had another injury at SS. High priced FA Malcolm Butler has a habit of following up a big a big play by giving up a big play
  • Run defense could be better. First round rookie Rashaan Evans has barely played and missed all of TC
  • New coaching staff appears to be light years ahead of the old Mike Mularkey staff

 

My prediction is a defensive battle between the Bills and Titans. Which is how all our games have gone this year.

You guys have always done well against the Bills.  We only have 2 wins against the Titans since the Music City Miracle. The 2006 and 2012 losses really stand out as heartbreakers from my point of view.  

 

Id wish you luck but I wanna win!

Barnwell's NFL quarter-season awards: Picks for MVP, best rookies

 

Bill Barnwell ESPN Staff Writer
 
Coach of the Year
 
First: Mike Vrabel, Tennessee Titans
 
The Titans have every excuse to be 0-4. Their Week 1 game against the Dolphins was interrupted twice by lightning storms. They lost Marcus Mariota and both of their starting tackles for Week 2 and then had to bring Mariota back even though he couldn't grip the ball effectively after Blaine Gabbert was concussed in Week 3. This week, they hosted the Super Bowl champion Eagles and let a possible game-winning touchdown slip through their hands in overtime when Darius Jennings dropped a perfectly thrown Mariota bomb.
 
Instead, the Titans keep answering the bell and manufacturing ways to win. After losing the opener, they parlayed a fake punt touchdown, a Wildcat drive with Derrick Henry at quarterback, and a tough defensive stop into a win over the Texans. They shut down Blake Bortles after a career day against the Patriots in Week 3 to win with a limited Mariota. On Sunday, they converted a fourth-and-15 and a fourth-and-2 in overtime, with Vrabel correctly passing up a 50-yard field goal to push for a victory. It might be tough to keep pulling out games this way, but Vrabel has his team fighting adversity and beating some tough football teams right now. The rookie coach deserves a ton of credit.

Well, all we know is that it will be a blowout. Not sure which team will get steam rolled (odds are it's Buffalo), but it will be bad.

 

Oh, and the first half will house all the points. The second half will not be worth watching.

Blitz Allen early and Often. He is having trouble reading it. Play Man against our WRs. 

 

Depends what defense you are going to see. I expect the good defense being home but I expect Mariota to gash them with his legs.

I think the non-competitive trend ends this week in a closely contested game that comes down to the end.

I just want to score points this game is that too much to ask. We really played pretty good defense against the Packers and if we could muster some sort of Offense we could stay competitive. 

This must be the plan in Buffalo, set the bar so low, that scoring any points at all = winning.
