I give this Titan/Patriot game about a half an hour before it becomes a blowout.

And we are no closer than either of them to getting there.

Pretty impressed the Titans forced a punt.

That PHI/ATL game made me hate the Cowboys even more.

The only offensive advantage man-for-man PHI has over Dallas is Ertz and Lane Johnson and somehow their team plays together enough to pull out a win.

With all our firepower, we're usually twiddling our dicks to circus music, taking turns to sloppy play.

I don't think we actually have that much fire power. We have Zeke but the rest is pretty meh.

On that last sentence, I switched gears and collectively included the Romo-era the last 10 years, too. I was unclear.

God bless Romo.

He is doing his best to sell this as actually being a game.

I want to root for the Titans, but they have no shot beating the Steelers if they move on tonight.

Isn't it amazing that a team can lose their star QB and still win games? Even a playoff game.

Coaching matters, folks.

In fact, the eagles have appeared in 6 since our last appearance.

I'd say their WRs are better. Their TE is way better.

So yeah, unless you consider Olineman firepower. But I don't usually.
Their WRs are absolutely not better than ours. As for Ertz, 3 catches for 30 yards today. Amazing what a difference a QB makes.

Ertz is waaaay better. Are you kidding me?

And Alshon is basically the same thing as Dez at this point in their careers. Agholor though is better than anything we have outside of Dez and Torrey Smith is way more explosive than any of our receivers.

So yeah, I'd take their fire power over ours in a heart beat. The difference is our Oline is better.

Today, Foles was regularly hitting the simple slant. I want to say Dak Prescott is better than Foles, but over the last 8 games, Dak could barely hit a swing pass consistently.
