    Guys who are hurt are at a disadvantage, but generally teams only spend 4 days game planning for an opponent, Monday-Thursday night is just enough time to install that weeks packages..

    Thats why these games are divisional also, league knows it'd be really unfair to play unfamiliar opponents on just 4 days notice..

    I'm really not worried about the defense... it's the offense I'm worried about. HOPEFULLY we can see some production out of the offense because Sunday was a joke. The Jaguars are 30th in points allowed (28.3 ppg), but statistically have a decent run defense giving up just 93.7 ypg (6th best). It's time for Mariota to show he can bounce back after a bad loss and dominate the Jaguars.

    True, but it still cuts out a day or two on extra preparation such as watching film on the opponent.

    The defense was great last week, but the offense hung them up to dry too long. Heck, we had bottled up their running game till the last drive when the players were all gassed out.

    Fasano's drop was a huge turning point and a huge change of field position. I thought are play calling was at question at times when we kept going to the ground in the 2nd half. DW was effective in the first half and I don't remember him being targeted in the 2nd half?

    Yea its definitely a disadvantage, no way youre better off being given only 3.5 days than the normal 6-7, but people sometimes miss the fact NFL teams get days off during the week. They dont spend every day working on football, some guys just need to get away for a day or two and they do...

    Related question, anyone know how much time Dick LeBeau spends in town? Is he flying back and forth from Cincinnati like people expected him to?

    I predict Titans have their first 100 yard rusher this year.

    It really was. I felt that we were in the game up until that drop. IF Fasano had caught it & broke Colemans tackle, he probably would of picked up 20+ yards. Who knows what would of happened after that. Instead, we gave them great field position and fell apart after that.

    couple penalties also saved the Panthers, we had a nice 3&out and they got to repeat 3rd down after they committed a foul, how does that work? so dumb..

    If I remember correctly, the Titans declined a penalty giving them another crack at 3rd down instead of accepting it and making it 4th and short.

    Must have been a 4th they would have gone for and the yardage pushed them back out if fg range? I was trying to stream the game and remember hearing the commentators talking about declining a penalty giving them another shot.

    it was an illegal formation foul, we couldn't decline that if we wanted to, its just another reason the NFL rules are stupid..
