    1-2 with 13 games left. I'm over it. MM8 going to start the rest of the season unless he gets hurt. I'm over it. MM8 won't get extended. I'm over it. We'll just see where our record goes. We're not getting Tua or Fromm. I'm over it.

    It's not like this is anything new to long time Titans fans.

    We'll do just good enough to be where we always are in the draft (18-20) and be left with scraps in the 1st when selecting a QB that analyst will say doesnt have much production but has high potential.

    Unless we see DRASTIC improvement, there's no way we're picking in the late teens.

    I don' know about not liking them. It' simply their job to lose.
    I gave a general number. It' obvious who the preferred teams are. Just look through history. Houston was always cut short. Now as Tennessee, still shorted.
    Both south divisions, except for Colts, will always suck except for the occasional bone. Tenn got a SB loss for moving. It will be years before they sniff another one. Same for Texans,Jets, Chargers,Saints,Bucs, Bengals, kc..yeah some of the teams seem good now but they've been there before and never cross the championship border.

    Nonsense.
    I suppose to a certain extent, half the teams do lose though.
    You’re also not explaining anything in your crazy scenario as to why those teams. Why would moving get a SB visit. Bengals dominated the AFC for most of the 80’s then they selected possibly the worst decade of draft picks for any team ever in the 90’s. Bucs won in 02’, saints in 09’. If the saints and KC are in the final 4, which “favorites” are getting cut out?

    None of this makes sense.

    OK- I think most people would be willing to listen to arguments that the refs are at times instructed to make calls to keep the game entertaining. And as a stretch, an even small portion of viewers would support that larger market (revenue) teams are given a favored approach. But without a smoking gun, nobody will ever believe the NFL is as rigged as you're suggesting.

    I am interested to see if the Titans get some "no-calls" in response to the heavy holding we got dinged with before Brady went to twitter. Riveron called an ad hoc ref meeting that Saturday after our TNF. Holding calls were down from ~9 per game to 2.6. We definitely got penalized excessively (and selectively) in week 3. So your points aren't entirely tin foil hat crazy, maybe just facial tick crazy.

    I found it very interesting that Q3 of our game vs the Jags had no flags at all.

    you cant say "some amount of favoritism." and then say "but not fixed". its one and the same. Bias = intended lying.
