All the post-election crap going on and you guys were debating Allen in the Poli-section?

We got much more serious problems as a country. You occasionally dip your toe in the mud slop over there. I guess along with a few other Republicans I'm now an "enemy of the state".  Political opinion ended here.

One thing about our defense....every now and then we make opposing QBs look like they belong in Canton, regardless of their skill level. I'm hoping it's not going to be one of those games.

Baker just got beat a record by Otto Graham in this Sunday's game. It was interesting to find this sentence to say the least.

(Bonus question? Did Gipper & Vrabel have classroom desk together in this Akron classroom?) 

Well....it was Norton (which included Westside Steve in my class) not Akron  ,  and it was Vrabel's Dad  Chuck who was a teacher/football coach there.   I never had him as a teacher nor did I play football....so to be honest, I never really interacted with the man.  He later went on to be a school principal at like Buckeye HS perhaps. 

If you had wanted to share a classroom desk with Mike Vrabel you would have had to have attended Walsh Jesuit HS in Cuyahoga Falls. 

I'll have to ask my pal's son if he ever crossed paths with Vrabel. He would have been a freshman at Walsh when Vrabel was a senior....

Here are picks from one site. 4 of 4 pick the Titans straight up and 2 of 3 pick the Titans giving away 5.5 points.

And they all totally blew the upset of the week when the Giants shockingly beat the Seahawks.

Tannehill did well against us.  -  There's no quit in you guys.  -  Good luck the rest of the way.

That will never happen. Those guys have the easiest job in the world. They come up with these "hot takes" say whatever they want and move on. 

That muppet Mel Kipper and Tod McShaw are even worse. How they get paid for "draft analysis" and neither one of the are ever close to anything makes me wonder about western civilization.

Not having to face Jonnu makes a hell of a difference.

While true - So does not having to face the best 2 guys in our secondary (Denzel Ward and Ronnie Harrison).  My guess is a playoff team can handle injuries easier than a team coming off 6-10 football.

Tannehill isn't Mahomes, but who is? But he's proved his mettle around here and I'll take him against most opponents we face

Mrs. Wife likes the Dolphins.  I didn't think much of him while he was there.  But he's on a solid team now and is winning.  Mayfield has been keeping the int's down of late and is winning.  Stronger arm, but airmails guys.  

Our defensive secondary is decimated.  If Myles can't force Tannehill into mistakes it could be a long day for us.  

Our owner seems like a crook.  (like so many high level business men)  How is it that Jimmy and the janitor are the only two guys that didn't know what was going on?

But beyond Johnny there were so many more 1st rounders whiffed upon.  You don't get to suck as bad, or for as long as we had without being bad at the draft.  It took a herculean effort by our owner to make sure he hired a litany of bad coaches and GMs.

You think Tannehill is better than Baker?  I can't argue that, as I'm not sure how good Baker really is....but I really wouldn't want to have to count on either of them having to take the team on their back to win games.  I think they both need the running games that they've got.

Your owner is well known in these parts. It's amazing that he was a pretty good at the truck stop business....well, federal indictments not withstanding. His brother was a much better governor.

Tannehill isn't Mahomes, but who is? But he's proved his mettle around here and I'll take him against most opponents we face. Having Henry in the backfield does make his life easier. But you still have to connect with receivers and make good decisions. His TD/INT ratio is still excellent.

He's still not the most physically talented in the AFC south....that honor still goes to Deshawn Watson who is having a good year now that their coach was fired. But it's probably too late to sneak into the playoffs considering their start.

One thing about our defense....every now and then we make opposing QBs look like they belong in Canton, regardless of their skill level. I'm hoping it's not going to be one of those games.

Yes, you have. And it was bigger news since it was your star QB.

Sucks to have a pick wasted like that.  We been there.  We done that.
