The Titans should sign him. He would not throw up those INTs the way Mariota is doing.

I do not believe I have ever seen the losing team take a knee inside the 2 minute warning.
Should we just let them wave a white flag or throw in a towel? It would save trouble.

I mean, when you have QB play like that, you might as well. He doesn't deserve to pad his stats any more than he did. Marcus Mariota lost that game for them, plain and simple. Embarrassing. He's failed to generate any offense all season and he threw a game away in this one.

Are we all going to ignore the insane catch that Antonio Brown made in the back corner of the endzone?

Anything he does is less impressive when you consider how horrible a teammate he is. I would take a receiving group like Minnesota's over one with him in it

That was incredible, but he's a perennial all pro. I hate to say it's expected from him, because it is amazing, but everything he does seems routine at this point.

10 TD and 3 INT was not good enough to overcome the fact that he was not white.

As McCoy said, the guy made plays, he made things happen.

Oh for gods sake...
The issue isn't that he's black, the issue is that he's only averaging 180 yards a game passing, refuses to even give receivers a chance if there's a DB within five miles of them, and constantly checks down and makes his recievers have to earn their first downs on YAC. Peterman outplayed him in the preseason and the last game.

It might be do or die today for the Ravens. The 6th seed is clearly there for the taking if they use their new found healthy squad to gain some advantages.

Hello, coaching staff. Hello?

Late word is stone-handed WR Breshad Perriman has been demoted. He's killed many drives with his ineptitude. RB Danny Woodhead is back, gone since week one.

One caveat though. They may have a problem on the OL with Ron Stanley possibly still in the concussion protocol. That will mean a reshuffled O-line.

On the other side, the Pack has issues in their backfield for the Baltimore D to exploit.

I will be watching this game closely.

Vikings can't answer the Rams' first touchdown like they did last week at Washington. Not a good start.

Saints are getting a lot of stupid penalties early. Unnecessary roughness, late hits, etc. Too much stupidity, we can’t get behind like this before the half.
