Week 9 Around the NFL Game Discussion Thread

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Titans defense is pretty good. With that dline they can help the secondary because they get pressure with four.

[NFLfan]

I'm rooting for:

 

The Vikings of course. No other NFC team. Maybe the Cardinals.

 

The Broncos (Still a big fan of Teddy)

The Bills (I like their team)

The Colts (no explanation needed )

The Steelers (I've always liked the way they run their team )

The Bengals (Underdogs)

 

I used to root for the Chargers when Rivers was there. They are meh  to me now.

 

[JediXMan]

Titans O looking more predictable without Henry.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Dang Stafford.. pulling a Wentz

Tenn is so lucky

[JediXMan]

Wentz play 2.0 smh.

[Nesjan3]

Is that Wentz back there??

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Lmao. Will media trash Stafford. Rams offense looks bad.

Why not "The Titans defense looks dominant"?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wow. Titans are the luckiest team I have ever seen.

[Stephen]

Titans are going to Superbowl

No ravens are luckiest team

[Happy2BeHere]

Sheesh, 14 points off turnovers virtually back to back by Tennessee 

[MB-ColtsFan]

Who's the ref?  Don't remember seeing him before.  Is this his first year with the white hat?

[chickenMan]

If the Rams could remember how to play football they could pound the Titans. So far this Titans offense without Henry is looking about how I expected: DOA

[NFLfan]

I want to do a study on human behavior of sports fans. Fans are so prone to negativity. Instead of a team playing well, the narrative is almost always that the opponent is playing poorly.

 

Both teams get paid to win. It is not a surprise when some play well and others don't. Any given Sunday

I believe he’s new

The last 45 seconds of the game has been crazy

I love Harbaugh. I wish the Vikes would trade for him. Lol. 

 

Why are "tired" of him?

He just annoys me for some reason. Makes me think of Pete Carroll.

Until your team wins the championship, whatever sport it may be, it’s hard not to be negative about at least some things. I’ve been waiting my whole life to see some of my sports teams even win playoff games, so negativity is an inevitability in a lot of cases.

I aplogize.  I just turned on the tv to see Stafford's Wentz impersonation.  My bad.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This game makes no sense. This is the NFL for you. This is why it’s the best game on earth.

It's all perspective.  Is it actual negativity or is it constructive criticism?

[Zoltan]

That Bull rush by simmons was ridiculous

And you better believe they made that comparison two hundred times. Can’t be an NFL Sunday without crapping all over Carson Wentz.

 

Has anyone bothered to mention to the media outside of Indy that Wentz has been one of the best QBs in the league this year?

[coming on strong]

titans gm is very good i got to give him credit .  titans had a bad defense he goes and spends on pass rushers now their horrible secondary isnt exposed anymore .  that is the difference between us and the titans we allow teams to sit in the pocket and pick apart the defense .

Sports is a emotional thing. It can go from highs to lows in two seconds. That is what makes it entertaining. You are right. You can’t take negativity out of it.

This is the case with all fans. 

 

I recall one night listening to sports radio. The NY Yankees had just won the World Series. A couple of hours later, a fan calls and starts to complain about the team next year. He said something like, "They better sign so&so..."  I wondered why he could not appreciate the win.

I  think you pointed out the issue...not many outside of Indy cares about Indy.  It's just the way it is.

I don’t know, I think I might actually hate Indiana University football more than I like them as a fan at this point

Well screw them then. Indiana against the world as far as I’m concerned

[runthepost]

Turning into a bad week for the colts. Titans may win. Might play against an embarrassed Bills team.

Lol, that’s Yankees fans for you. They’ve won it so many times it’s just another day for them. I’ve always held that when one of my times eventually wins a championship I will cease my b****ing about them for at least the off-season and enjoy the win. I’ve never seen any of my teams win a championship, as I was too young to care about football when the Colts won the Super Bowl. I wonder what it feels like...

Not really titans are best in afc. Our best shot is the wildcard

Rams look cooked. What a weird NFL Sunday.

As am I.  I actually saw a van with a big Colts helmet on it.  I think it's the second vehicle I have seen with an emblem on it in my 7 years in the area.  Colts fans are a rare breed, me thinks.  I don't know that I have ever seen a Vikes emblem here, though, haha.

That’s gonna be a mess and a half if so. Everyone in the AFC is a wild card contender outside of the Jags, Texans, Jets, and Dolphins. I was really hoping we would win the South this year, we haven’t won it since 2014.
