Beane is an arrogant asshole.

Sure. I agree. Just making the point that if you bring in someone that appears to be an upgrade (even of its not true that they are an upgrade), its understood thats the business.

i really dont think the playbook is that limited. i think they are just running what bryce young is comfortable with. he doesnt like play action under center and doesnt throw to the middle of the field especially with his bad footwork. he likes gun and rpos where he can face the line and see what they are doing.

Multiple places writing that 5 weeks ago there was an owner/GM/coach meeting, McDermott pointed out flaws in the roster that would prevent them from winning, or handicap the effort to win the SB. He pissed them both off in the course of the meeting. No more specific he said he said out there yet. That I found.

He's an odd looking dude. Looks like his family tree resembles a telephone pole. LOL

At least they need new Titans uniforms. They were actually kind of cool when they originally came out. The current revision is terrible.

That's giving him too much credit. Sam is like the cowardly lion. He lacked confidence and mental fortitude. Carson Beck seems like the type of dude who would end up in prison for murdering his uncle.

Oh I get it, and I think it is supremely weird when the Titans do Oilers throwbacks. I was more wondering about the Pelicans since there are none in Tennessee, and didn't see the New Orleans-Charlotte connection. Maybe they should just rebrand to UT colors and embrace what they were afraid of instead.

Its just a Charlotte Hornets joke. The Texans is much shittier than the Oilers overall. They should have been that but the Titans still own all the rights and history. So it's a bit similar. The only problem is they created a new mascot name with the same colors. So if you brought the Oilers back, you'd need to rebrand the Titans at least in color.

I don't really understand the connection, but it is funny. That's been a weird situation. They wanted a T, for Tennessee, but they didn't want it to be confused with UT, and the Colts were included in the AFC South, despite being a very northern city, and having its previous roots in the AFC East,because they thought fans in Tennessee would be more inclined to buy tickets to watch Peyton Manning play.

All I know is that it's a good year to need a line backer. There will be quite a few in the draft

They should let the Texans rebrand as the Oilers and force the Titans to be the Pelicans.

I couldn’t summarize it any better, dude let his ego run wild and it cost us, I remember this idiot wasted a season and was non committal about cam being a franchise qb, then he went to the Giants and ran them into the ground too

I was watching the game last night (actually 330am) and they brought up that Aiden Fisher calls out the plays the other team is running. This of course reminded me of Luke. I haven't followed Indiana football at all but I wonder that the Huddle thinks of him as a future Panther Linebacker Aiden Fisher's pro prospects are promising, with a strong track record of performance and potential for success in the NFL. His ability to read the game and make plays with precision, combined with his leadership and physicality, make him a valuable asset to any defense. Fisher's development at Indiana and his selection as a first-team All-Big Ten linebacker in 2024 further solidify his status as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft Thoughts?

There is no doubt that winning on the field is the ultimate goal. But not far behind that is winning off the field / in the board room / at the bank. Beane has been meticulous in betting on Josh Allen being able to put on the cape and taking a band of misfits to the playoffs every year. That drives tickets, merch, concessions, TV shares, etc. Which all put money into the owner's pockets. The coach only controls what's on the field, and even then, it's mostly out of his hands minus time management as he doesn't throw, catch, run or kick for those 60 minutes. My guess is Beane has made that owner a poo ton of money through contracts (or lack there of), and staying the course financially when it's easy to overspend to get over the hump. That's why he's still there and McDermott isn't. My guess is they will hire a non-splash candidate that commands middle of the pack money for a head coach, and Beane will once again point out to ownership how he saved them $4-$6M with this hire, and they still have Superman on their team. New England has a first place schedule next year, and that's likely good for 2 additional losses, which would give them the same record as the Bills had this year. I knew McDermott was gone if they didn't reach the Superbowl.

I heard it was him showing up in NE for his ring of honor ceremony and talking about how great the organization was and the Titans ownership felt a certain way about that. They also fired/mutually parted ways with Mike Mularky after he got them to the playoffs. So making the playoffs as the Titans coach is the kiss of death. They've ran off the last 2 to achieve that lofty goal.

No matter what anyone says about refs, coaching or whatever, this was the season where we caught some vital breaks on the way to 8 wins. I mean we could easily and I mean easily have been a 4/5 win team. If dave doesnt figure out this offense stat then the reality could set in early. thats why the icky news really blows, having to deal with that amongst our other issues just sucks

If you look at the random Twitter accounts a lot of them started posting towards the end of 2022, so when Alabama was trying to gin up another heisman for him. i imagine the same people control a lot of these accounts. Tepper just uses the team media outlets and reporters, and maybe pays JT O’Sullivan. This never ending slop on social media is probably from his agent.

It's may also be harder for a big guy to get down low enough to hit a guy Bryce's size in the chest/waist vs a taller QB, especially with the QB protections in place. I'm not saying that they can't do it, just that lowering your center of gravity an extra 6 inches may feel a little weird and unnatural.

That night after the Final Four is a complete blur on Bourbon Street. Didn't Love turn around and beat Duke again the next year as a transfer at Arizona?

Yeah, that could definitely be plausible on all counts.

It wouldn't surprise me if Tepper's Panthers PR has a staff group dedicated to keeping pro Bryce Young accounts across social media platforms churning out positive posts about him.

Seeing the comments that Beane was kissing butt to ownership this would not surprise me. Beane started out well but IMO he's really putting the Bills in the same boat he and Gettleman put Cam. Their decisions really had an impact on Cam's future. You have a generational QB and can't get over the hump and IMO it was lack of talent and not lack of on field leadership.

Well that is a bright side.
