I mean, there's just no AFC team who's been consistently good against top teams over the last several weeks! Go Bills! They’ll bounce back! There is “no one” else… Mythos27, TNTitans, and rns90 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start out by telling how they are going to roll the Dolphins. By midpoint they are blaming the refs. By the end when they realize they are going to lose they are ready to fire every coach and a few players. It was great fun watching them absorb mediocrity. I love that stuff. I end up reading more of there teams boards than ours during games. As much of a fucking bewildering shit show our game threads are most other forums make ours look civil when they are going to lose.

That win would give both teams 3 losses and they would own the head to head tie breaker. As of today, the Steelers are the only AFC team that controls its own destiny vs. the Titans in the race for the #1 seed. The only team. I’m hesitant to judge a team I’ve barely watched this year based on one game….but against the Bears this week, the Steelers looked like an 8- or 9-win team. Roethlisberger is clearly done and their defense looked like a shadow of what we’re used to seeing. oldschool, Lars, and rns90 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) The Titans would have been much better served using that second round pick and the dollars used on Julio to acquire JC Jackson. But it's possible that teams knew the Patriots would match a deal now that poison pills are prohibited.

I wasn't commenting on how good the team is, just how they are currently positioned for the #1 seed. I haven't watched them play a lot either.

Mythos27 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Wow, I'm seeing things much differently than some here. I think the Steelers are a legit threat to beat us as they present a really bad match up. I don't think they'll take the #1 seed from us but that game IMO is the toughest left on the schedule by a mile. They certainly have their flaws but I've been impressed by them some and they have the bones of a really good team. Not necessarily a team I want to see late in the season.

My cousin is a Steelers fan and he is thrilled with what they are getting done but he also said their safety situation is a fucking nightmare so when we see them if that does doesn't get fixed I assume a bunch of deep shots. Also mentioned the d line being banged up and the obvious offensive limitations. I am not to worried. Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pass rush is really going to be a problem for him. They only put 15 on Cleveland. If we get our O line sorted out, I really don't see any AFC team that can beat us. He's not great but he can still get the ball to Claypool down the field here and there. Diontae Johnson and the other receivers aren't the biggest/fastest but they get open consistently, understand how to exploit zone coverages, and flat out make plays on contested catches. Their quick passing game will be tough for us to handle with the zone-heavy approach we've been deploying. Najee Harris is also a problem in that his stats don't reflect how good he's been running and he's a legitimate threat in the passing game. As we know, pass-catching RBs give this team fits. They aren't world beaters but I think they're constructed in a way that will give us problems. Hope I'm wrong and we roll them though. I'm tired of losing to the Steelers.

pat Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Just now, JoelinBellevue said: Did anyone watch the Ravens game last night? I am so jealous of Miami. Their offense is amazing. The motion they use is spectacular. Late in the game they brought a back across the formation and he was wide open for about a 60 yarder. Ravens simply lost him in the clutter. They did the same thing earlier by bringing the TE on the right across the back of the formation and he got loose for a nice gain. Hell, even Vanderbilt used to run a variation off this called the TE around where he went behind and got a handoff and it worked for yards, kind of like a jet sweep, but defenders usually don't follow a blocking TE. And the throwback. Wow. They start with a handoff on a sweep to the RB, who then turns around and throws back to the QB, who in turn then throws it back to the RB. Worked fantastic. Someone has a great mind. I'm sorry Joel but I have to disagree. That offense was unwatchable. Dolphins sucked. When they would run the same quick play action as the Titans, they'd get maybe 4 yards if they were lucky enough to complete the pass. That's why they had to go deep in the playbook to make plays. Their offense couldn't get the job done otherwise. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they did. But I ain't looking for that kind of play from our team. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 The Dolphins offense going into last night was ranked 30th in the league. Sometimes I think people come on this board for the sole purpose of trolling. rns90, begooode, and OILERMAN 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers and Patriots are threats because they can both put a loss on the Titans and benefit from the tie breaker. Titans need to keep treating the regular season as the playoffs.
