2024 Titans Bye Report: Hostage Situation

I hoped the Titans would reach their bye at 1-3. Well look at that: they did. They say: have low or zero expectations, and you will never be disappointed. This is airtight logic, a great defenCe mechanism, but a freakin’ downer. I prefer my wisdom with a side order of SOME

An Ant Has No Quarrel With A Boot: 2023 Buffalo Bills at the Bye (and Open Thread)

MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "12-5, tied for AFC East crown. As always, the injury factor will be dispositive, but we have reason for Hope." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: I mean, I was right. Injuries have decimated the Bills. Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White? Pro Bowler Matt Milano? Pro Bowler Dawson Knox? All of the Safeties (except

Start here... What is expectation?  A dream, an illusion? A stone dead goddamn lie? When you expect something to happen, it never does. Expectations are like you're imagining something, I will be happy, I will be pretty.  Knowing full well that nothing, Nothing, ever goes as planned.

MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "6-11. It’s not going to be a pretty 6-11 either, and without a first rounder next year, I wouldn’t hold out much hope there either." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: Even Worse! The Panthers are 0-6, showing almost no signs of life on either side of the ball. So: meatloaf. Or

MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "4-13. Look for Ryan Tannehill or Kirk Cousins to sign here next year if they don't have the draft position for a top-tier QB." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: Not great, Bob! The Bucs are currently 3-1, and that is their best-likely-case scenario. Sure, a radioactive cheese steak could have

A conversation from late last week: DFO Content Overlords: BEERGUY! IT IS THE SEAHAWKS BYE WEEK! BRING FORTH A POST! Beerguyrob: Umm... It seems kind of early. Couldn't I wait until more games have been played? Y'know - to have an observable pattern to analyze? DFOCO: POST! BGR: But they're only 3-1. There's not

Honestly, I thought about having the whole post be the banner image/gif.  Then I thought about bringing back my other kind of bear gimmick (not that one).  Then I took a nap.  Then I decided I would just say the following: We knew this team would suck.  In the season preview,

We’re into the meaty portion of the 2021 postseason, and what an occasion for NFL calendar pedantry (2022 starts after the Superb Owl), and also crowing about the Tennessee Titans Tits of Titanium being the AFC’s #1 seed. Ok. In reconsideration, more score-settling than crowing. A. During Weeks 7-17, everyone gave mad love
