Mostly Hinged Titans Preview (2023) and Week 1 (Woo Hoo!) Open Thread
First of all, happy LaboUr Day. I hope you have a totally, not-communist holiday experience, unlike those inopportune May Days over at Michael Flynn's. But there's a bit of class struggle thingy that merits consideration. This RBs are interchangeable narrative is... I hate it. It's a self-fulfilling capitalist market prophecy, of
A 1,000% Rational Titans Bye Report (2021 Playoffs)
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.

You Philistines Don’t Deserve Marcus MarioTa – Titans 2019 Preview
A lot to unpack there! First, hey Fox: fuck you for the misspelling. I’m gonna speculate that the graphics guy was an older feller who thought “Sounds like Torretta, Ruthless Posse WOOO”, and didn’t name check out of self-satisfaction (“I can’t be racist, I know Italians!”). Too much? Listen, you misspell

2018 Titans at the Bye: A Scientific Evaluation, with Science
[Banner via Dave Rappoccio @DrawPlayDave] The season was promising for Tennessee. The Titans had a solid offensive line, decent young receivers with promise, OK defense with quality pass rushing prospects, and had a top secondary that seemed improved by CB Malcolm Butler. At RB, runaway tank Derrick Henry would be complemented
The Makeover: 2018 Titans Preview

The offense was inefficient and very predictable. Even a serious professional, like TE Delanie Walker, said that players had to “overcome coaching” after a
