NFL Divisional Round Thread: Another Step on the March to the Eagles-Titans Super Bowl

The Titans might as well forfeit right now. Every close call is going to New England. NFL officiating is becoming a bad joke. Never rile up the home crowd. Let New York do that.

 

No pass rush equals no chance against Brady.

 

Mike Mularkey is a dope. Nice call on fourth and one. Better to lose like a real man than to give the damn ball to your best player. If I were the Titans owner, we'd have a new head coach for the second half.

 

I thought for sure Eric Dickerson would have been another. But he ran for 1,011 for the Colts and 277 for the Rams in 1987.

Herschel Walker in'89 was 246 for the Cowboys and 669 for the Vikings.

 

I just have to resign myself to the fact that the Patriots are going to cruise to another Super Bowl and be okay with that.

 

I am not so sure they'll cruise. They've always played close Super Bowls. They'll kill the Steelers though, who'll choke from jump street.

 

The Pats didn't even play that well this season and they're still the best team in the league by miles. They're what the Yankees were in the 50s and early '60s. That wasn't especially a good time for baseball as a business.

 

I think I'd hate by instinct any team that had this much success. But I don't think I'm wrong that the Patriots are particularly easy to hate. God, I hate them so much. Their success makes me question so much of what I believe.

 

They're well coached, have a great quarterback, are way smarter about personnel than their rivals and push the outside of the rules envelope. Except for being more horribly pompous and pretentious about it, they're no different from the old Raiders

 

I dunno. Aaron Hernandez. Tom Brady. Bill Belichick. Robert Kraft. Even their "loveable" guy is fucking Rob Gronkowski.

 

Dear Tennessee Titans: Please go away, pick up the Jacksonville Jaguars on your way back home and return -- both of you -- to the irrelevance you have generally known. Thanks.

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You cannot lump Brady, Belichick and Gronkowski in with Hernandez. Come on now.
