Joey Votto gets standing ovation | 09/24/2023

Joey Votto receives a roaring ovation from Reds fans before his first at-bat against the Pirates

I think he will.

Actually Cardinals style of offense suits Dobbs way better than the Pro Style the Titans run...that's why they drafted Levis...HH was never on their radar ...one cause of age and they wanted a younger guy and 2 Tennessee didn't run a pro style offense...Detroit drafted HH because he can heal and learn behind Goff for 2 or 3 seasons...JD and HH are in better situations where they're at...

Ravens completely tore down their offense for Lamar Jackson after he took over for Joe Flacco. Titans just refuse to make good decisions at QB.

Honestly, the Cardinals got lucky playing at home. Not to take anything away from Dobbs who played great. I am proud of Dobbs. The Cowboys fell behind quicker than expected & made too many mistakes & penalties trying to catch up playing from behind. Like I said earlier not everyone will win every game & is expected to have bad games here & there.

Cowboys will win a lot of games on talent but whenever it comes down to the nitty gritty, Dak is going to be the one that holds them back from getting to the promised land.

It was a home game for the cardinals, but there may have been more cowboys fans in attendance. Have to face that blasting the Gints and Jets in the first two weeks may not have told us much about the boys. We shall see.

Eeeh every team has a bad game...13 penalties and 1/5 in Red Zone helped Dallas lose...plus don't care about next man up theory losing All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs really hurts defense....but I got my eye on a CB Jerry will cough up a 1st round draft pick for...you may know him Saints CB Alontae Taylor....

Well, I'd love to get poor Alontae off the Aints

Cowboys will win a lot of games on talent but whenever it comes down to the nitty gritty, Dak is going to be the one that holds them back from getting to the promised land.

We will see .... but probably more so than not.

Falcons have a good shot at NFC South Division...no dominant team I don't count freaking Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay as a threat...Saints have no offense and Carolina well goes without saying...

Yeah, we'll see and I think they have a shot, but yesterday's performance was... discouraging

 

[knoxvol52]

@chuckiepoo big series for your Astros starting in Seattle tonight.....

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

ICYMI .....

 

[knoxvol52]

Yeah, we'll see and I think they have a shot, but yesterday's performance was... discouraging

I watched the game and I agree with you Bijan is going to be awesome....Ridder needs a better core of WR ...but Pitts can and is a stud at TE.....you have reasons to be excited....

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I'm calling BS already on this. No way that this will happen. Maybe a late FG wins it.

I will take Tennessee and the spread ...Vols by 2 Touchdowns...

Ok. God bless your enthusiasm. I see a closer game. Vols w/a FG late to win.

Mike Vrabel is a Belichick prodigy so there is your answer to that question....

Mike McDaniel went full-on revenge of the nerds on Sean Payton.

Mike McDaniel went full-on revenge of the nerds on Sean Payton.

That's an understatement. More like went nuclear on their ass.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

 

[VolPack22]

That’s a defeated man right there. Hopefully he can get out of there and onto a better team so he can finally experience winning.

Braves magic number to earn home field throughout the playoffs is 3.
