The titans were literally just the #1 seed by having a competent qb and brutal run game.  Thats the model it appears that smith wants to build.  So it still can be down in the modern nfl

Worked for them in the regular season true enough. Pretty sure they lost their home playoff game the same year though.

Tannehill is solid. A helluva lot better than I expect Ridder to be.

Folks overlook that when the Titans won the division back to back years Tannehill threw for about 7500 yards and 50+ TDs. The Titans went 6-6 last year with Tannehill starting. They went 1-4 in the games he missed.

Eh, that’s an opinion. I dunno that the schedule makers micro analyze it to that level. They seem to usually base it on who will be good teams. 

Your edit was what I was going to post. The schedule makers absolutely analyze that stuff. Fan base and TV draws (top QBs or SB winner or solid team, etc.). No way the Jets get Black Friday game with Zach Wilson. The Falcons have a small fan base and have no draw. We have Bryce Young as the #1 pick. That matters more to schedule makers than us being potentially a game better than the Falcons.

I’m not comparing them to us. I’m saying no prime time games at all means they probably don’t think the falcons are gonna be good. Nothing is more interesting than success. I mean, it’s all speculation anyway and we’re splitting hairs over what schedule makers think lol. Not that big of a deal, so 🤷‍♂️ we’ll see. I’m expecting the falcons to not be a bottom 5 team but not in the mix for the division in the back quarter of the season either. Us, depends on Bryce’s acclimation to the NFL and health. Saints win it by default unless Bryce stays healthy and lives up to analysts’ expectations. Bucs might be a bottom 5 team.

There is literally nothing to do in Green Bay lol. 

 

but there is a poo load to do in Milwaukee. Wouldnt be surprised if people road the train from Mil to GB and back. 

I stayed in Milwaukee for a festival one year... to this day it is still one of the funnest experiences ive ever had. People are ridiculously nice there and the beer/food is awesome.

Gruden is working as a consultant in NO...specifically to help Carr and help the coaches develop the best system for him.  No link...heard it on Sirius.

NO...the place where slime goes to slime.

And when was the last time Gruden actually developed a QB? This ought to play out well.

I have no idea how Gruden is still seen as a QB guru when he was carried by an elite D with mediocre offense on his actually good teams. With that said, he does have a history with Carr. Seems like this is likely per Carr's request.

Meaning he was not too impressed with the NO staff???

I dont think anyone is very impressed by NOs staff. They have decided to go all in to win a shitty division and have continued to kick the can further down the road.

If they dont win the division I doubt their staff survives for another season.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
