Meanwhile:

Leaders have been vocal about locker room issues and players do this after getting cut. They've obviously got issues on the motivation front with some of these guys. Is it just the losing? It's it losing when your coach is a hard line and that gets abrasive? Is it just turbulence that will fade? Something is wrong. How do they fix it?

BRUSSELS (AP) — With a journalist or media worker killed every day on average in the Israel-Hamas war, the head of the global organization representing the profession said Monday that it has become a conflict beyond compare. About 60 have been killed since the Oct. 7 start of the war, already close to the same number of journalists killed during the entire Vietnam War half a century ago. Other brutal wars in the Middle East have not come close to the intensity of the current one.

Smart. Though are they all connected, as opposed to being a series of distinct tunnels? All connected would be strategically stupid.

Green Bay was on a 6 games losing streak.

You could say the Titans finally punted Auckerman into the sun but ... they don't have a punter anymore.

God, I hope they just lose out. I've always hated people saying that but this feels like the time.

1. Brock Purdy - 158.3 2. Josh Allen - 158.3 3. Lamar Jackson - 155.8 4. Tua Tagovailoa - 155.8 5. Brock Purdy - 148.9 6. Brock Purdy - 148.8 7. CJ Stroud - 147.8 8. Brock Purdy - 144.4 These are the 8 highest QB ratings in a single game this season. Purdy has 4 of the 8.

They beat the worst teams in the league and there actually is a lot of turnover on the roster, not to mention players like Tannehill falling off the face of the earth. But, sure. Pull the other one.

That's easy. Much of the talent we had was old and fading, so we cut them to save money this offseason. But we replaced them with nobody, really, just because. We traded Byard mid season for much the same reason, actually. Tannehill turned into a bag of shit, none of the young players we wanted to develop actually did and most of them are actually worse, Henry can't make up for other deficiencies anymore and the offensive line fixes that we put in place might even be worse than what we had in the past. On top of all that, none of the coordinators are doing a great job, two are actively awful, and I'm stubborn and conservative, which takes away much of our ability to ever run away with anything and so even when we're playing well, the other team stays close and ends up passing us by the end. Past personnel issues, new ones, a lack of player development, bad coaching and self-defeating philosophy, Amy. That's the real issue.

Missing an XP and having two blocked punts leading to a TD and a FG does a lot to override being somewhat better at the main game.

The much-touted 2nd year WRs are officially 4th and 5th on the effective depth chart, as far as I can tell. Hopkins, Moore and NWI are all ahead of them. Oof.

Big ol' derp right there
