Battle of a couple of AFC teams that shouldn't have any direct relevance for us, since we don't play anyone on the AFC South this year and we won't meet any of them unless its in the Super Bowl. 

The game is fairly interesting though for a few reasons. Currently, all the teams in the AFC south have 3 losses so the division is wide open and both teams have alot to play for. Mariotta is coming back from an injury for the Titans, meanwhile Luck is still out and who knows when he might be back, based on the lack of information im guessing it might be very late in the season or not at all . The Titans have two Heismann winners at  QB and RB (Mariotta and Henry). 

Since this was the first year I followed the draft process so closely , rookies to watch : Adoree Jackson  , Taywan Taylor , Malik Hooker, Marlon Mack. Corey Davis is out with a hamstring.

What an ugly Monday night matchup

yea, im not particularly invested in either teams . I did follow Malik Hooker alot during the draft process , and wanted  us to draft Derrick Henry in 2015 so at least have a passing interest in some of the players

Very impressive run by rookie RB Marlon Mack for the Colts . With all the success these mid to late round RBs are having , it leaves me wondering what we couldve done drafting Barnett, Hooker, or OJ Howard in the 1st  and getting a mid round rb later .

it sereiously depresses me to see other teams olines blasting the defense back  multiple yards before the RB gets to the line of scrimmage. What in the clusterfug happened to our olines run blocking? 

This is exactly what I was thinking while watching the 1st half. The Colts O-line is notoriously bad, but Gore and Mack have had some nice run lanes.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
