    The wasted TO by the Titans was awful.

    47 Yards is not a chip shot

    My list is pretty long too.

    1. This is just what we've seen from the Giants from last year. And the year before. And the year before that.
    2. The Giants need a running game.
    3. So long Danny, we won't miss you....
    4. Etc. etc.

    Quite costly.
    Just saw the Giants’ 2-point play again. Barkley caught the forward flip, saw two Nashvillians in his way, stopped, pivoted and ran into the end zone. Pretty great play.

    I still maintain the accuracy of the second part.

    Against KC in the season opener of a 13-3 season. The penalty moved Lin Elliott five yards closer, and he nailed that one after missing the first.

    Chiefs won with smoke and mirrors all that season and made a quick playoff exit.

    Last year, kickers made 236 of 304 attempts from 40 to 49 yards, and 120 of 182 from 50+. About 77 percent and 65 percent, respectively. It goes up to 281 of 302, if you're 30 to 39. That's 93 percent, and worth pursuing, vs. the small chance of a turnover. Numbers here:

    Yeah, it didn't count. And yeah, they bollocksed up a game they should have won. But can we get a little love for this ridiculous catch by Ja'Marr Chase that would have been the play of the day if his toes were an inch shorter?

    Let me be the first this season to say fuck Tom Brady
    Great player — I liked him at Michigan — but he becomes a bigger asshole every year

    Can Ceis Collinsworth just not talk. I'm getting sick listening to him.
