What two practices vs. Falcons revealed about Titans

Gentry

So it is the 2020 playoffs and these guys have picked against the Titans in the wildcard, divisional and now the AFC championship game. They pay attention to crap like betting lines, And think that the quarterback needs to throw for “more yards” when you have a guy like Derrick Henry in the backfield. These guys don’t understand momentum, game plans or any thing a “stat geek moneyballer” wouldn’t know about. I bet they worship “WAR RATINGS” and crap like that. Jokers....

These guys are SHEEP- no faith in Titans-don’t understand football
