Tannefail sucks at throwing outs so Ds will key in on defending the middle of the field.
I never said he was perfect, just good enough with the correct surrounding pieces, to you a football game is apparently two QB's on the field alone, you lack the complex higher brain function to understand it's 22 moving, inter-meshing parts simultaneously. Is QB the most important piece?, absolutely, does one need to be "elite" to win a championship?, NOPE. Again, fucking Dilfer has a ring, a one-armed Manning has a ring, Jeff Hostetler has a ring, Joe Flacco has a ring John Elway has 2 rings with only one TD pass.

Burrow is really good but the Bengals didn't exactly light up the stadium.

All the Titans needed to be was competent and they win this game.

:rolleyes:


Could be a case of the extra week not helping for the Titans.... also did it seem to anyone else like TN played better on offense with Henry on the sidelines?
Foreman was destroying them with gashes.

If not for that superstar Jamarr Chase and a perfectly placed ball for chase to go 57 yards, Cincy was going home today.

Also, Vrabel passing up points an XP and FG ultimately was all the difference.

The kid's got moxy though, to be sacked that many times and still deliver an accurate ball is saying something. They need to figure out how to call a play in faster though, several times they snapped it with 0 seconds left and this only helped the Tenn pass rush.

Burrow played a big part in making it even winnable for Cincy. His play was jumping out in just highlight vids as the season went on.

Doesn't look like this is San Fran's night if that call stands. A-Aron slays in the divisional round.

Which is why he will be Kyle's divorcee by season's end...but the question is, does Kyle understand Kyle missed out on marrying Brady?
I don't think Kraft would have allowed Bill to trade Brady even though Bill wanted JG as his personally groomed starter and had no issues with trading Brady. Big mistakes from SF in that half, twice JG had good throws dropped and then the major mistake he just made. As hard as yards have been to get for SF that was not a mistake you want to make, throw it OB and live to fight another down, the holding call didn't help either.

Terry Bradshaw just said Joe Burrow had the swagger of Joe Namath.

Cowher was waxing positive accolades on Burrow in the CBS postgame as well, and he is biased towards Pittsburgh, a division rival.

I was referring to the allegation above when Tom began his FA tour that ultimately ended in him becoming a Buc.
