Titans game plan

1) Throw to whoever Dunta is covering.
2) Profit.

Lucille: How am I supposed to find someone willing to go into that musty old claptrap?
Michael: The cabin... yes! That would be difficult, too.

Did Little Dickie Justice?

Bribe Dunta? Promise him a feature on how he’s going to get what’s his? Because I’m struggling for an answer on why he can’t cover tight ends, wide receivers, or football players.

At least they're burning timeouts

That’ll make it a little harder to stroll down the Battle Red carpet defense the Texans usually play at the end of the half.

It might be slightly favored but nothing too bad. I mean they’re trying to sell it and according to the rest of the nation we aren’t worth their time (ie them selling next weeks game so much).

They are clearly covering people lined up at wideout, so that’s an improvement.

what the fucking fuck was that? They are holding Slaton down and not letting him up, and the ref just stands there with his thumb up his ass? I see Bud took another 250 grand and gave it to the refs.

By my count

Dunta got victimized for four consecutive completions, including a touchdown and a declined penalty.

Our D needs to step up.
