    Pretty little writeup you have here..but trust me..the offense isn't limited because of Mariota...AND he is making every NFL throw. This team is not schematically avoiding the middle of the field. I have no idea how you came up with that.

    My prediction for the game:
    Mariota 16 of 25 for 199 yards and 1 TD
    Murray 23 for 105 and a TD
    Henry 17 for 76 yards

    Williamson with an INT, Orakpo with 3 sacks

    Titans win 23-10

    I predict Siemian 28-31 402 yards and 4 TDs and a player of the week award.

    I'm in the boat of...

    Well, before the season started I wanted these things to happen...

    - Us to learn how to win some close games against decent opponents
    - MM show a big step forward even with limited targets
    - Some of our young guys show some serious signs of being a great football player.
    - This team win about 7-8 games.
    - 0 big injuries that would hinder a young players success
    - our offensive line finally come together and be half way decent

    Well... pretty much everything I could have asked for happened. So I'm in the boat of "If we lose these next two, but win one of the last two or both, I'll be extremely proud of this team.

    It's easy to look at your pre season hopes and want to change them because the team possibly over performs.

    That's not going to happen with me. Don't get me wrong, I'll be more focused when watching this game than I have been all year, and I'm as excited as the next person that this is a meaningful game in December, but nothing will keep me from being happy with how this team has performed.

    Good luck boys! Shock the world or not, it's been one of the more exciting years in some time.

    When you are a one point favorite you are not shocking anyone.

    Who is limited? MM has very good receivers. Watch the Raiders game the other night? Cooper, Crabtree, et al dropped many passes. It never ceases to amaze when an almost rookie QB does exceptionally well, yet people say his receivers are no good. Ridiculous.

    Doesn't surprise me at all. Try looking up a pass distribution chart sometimes. He is making every throw he is ALLOWED to make.

    That was with Lynch. Bortles also threw a pick 6. Unfortunately for us, it appears Siemian is going to play. We can still win, but as Riverman said, we are asking a guy that has never started in the NFL to cover Sanders. Our only hope is to outscore them, and hold them to 3's in the red zone. Going into this year, we had to address keeping MM safe, but we sacrificed two early 2nd round picks for defense, which really haven't worked out. At the time we believed we had two experienced DB's (Mc and Cox) and we would be OK. We also drafted Byard, so I think they believed we would be a lot better than we really are. Sometimes things just don't pan out. If Dodd had lived up to expectations it would have really helped.
