Is Wentz on schedule to play?  That could make the difference.

Reich did say he was having a rough go of it but getting better so he will not be 100% if he plays.  Also watching CFP right now and Mahomes and Kelce are there so I guess they got the day off from practice today

The problem is it won't take root enough to become stable this time of year. They either need to put in field turf or install underground heating (like they did in Denver and KC) and buy TSU a new stadium or something to get them out of Nissan Stadium.

That would be great.  Having TSU play there is just another State of Tennessee ripoff of the university.  They have already stole 500M out of TSU's federal grant money.  The school never needed a 70,000 seat stadium miles from their campus.  TSU deserved their own stadium like every other university.  Also, the businesses around the university lost revenue. 

 

Why didn't 60Minutes, CNN, FOX, CNBC do a story on 500M being taken from a school?  How does that match with "get educated to advance yourself."  Since this isn't even covered nationally, how much more theft of impoverished people is being just left out of the news.

 

Why?  Why cheat a school out of 500M?  Why not build a school with a rich football heritage it's own stadium?  Is it because they are not white people.  This shit is getting old.  Every turn, somebody trying to cheat the poorest people in America out of what they are entitled to receive.

Wait I thought if we won this week, the division would be ours?

Yeah, we’d take the division with a win. But a win also guarantees we’d still have a shot at the top seed (regardless of what kc does in week 17). 
 

So win or lose, we won’t be resting guys week 18.

If he’s “having a rough go of it” then presumably he won’t be asymptomatic by this weekend…

Absolutely. I'm sure it sounded like it would be great for TSU to have a first class NFL facility to play in, but all it did was create a mostly empty stadium and a horrible game day experience...and as you said took money out of the local businesses that depend on game day business. They don't need a 68,000 seat stadium. They need a 25,000 - 30,000 seat stadium on campus that they can fill and create a great game atmosphere.

There is still a scenario that could open the door to resting some guys against the Texans in week 18

 

- Titans lose

- Colts lose which hands the Titans the AFC South Title

- Chiefs win and secure #1 seed in the AFC

 

At that point the Titans would only be playing for seeding in week 18 and not to win the division (already secured) and not for #1 AFC seed (already secured by the Chiefs).

I’m just not even thinking about a scenario with the Colts losing. Don’t see it happening.

Nissan actually has good drainage, but the fact that the field is below ground level and it's at one of the lowest geographical parts of Nashville next to a river keeps it from drying out quickly. They don't want to go to field turf because it absorbs heat and you would see three digit on the field temps in August and September.

I’m calling bullshit on your $500M figure. Nashville.gov lists TSUs lease obligations at $131k/year. Also, TSU isn’t the only team that plays in an nfl stadium. Miami, Temple and pitt all come to mind. This certainly isn’t the racial issue  you claim it is.
