Diesel! So great.
Palko had a few bright moments last night—most(?) of which managed to coincide with meltdowns on our part—but man alive, he has every right to be annoyed with Bowe. Gotta put your arms out, dude.

“I had desired this photo long before I had ever used a camera. The conditions came together perfectly this day to get such a clean frontside air. This was the first photo I had patiently worked for, and it represents a strong learning point in my photography.”
Gorgeous.

Okay, apart from Diesel’s beard being…insane, I like the photo. With the yellow and portrait orientation, etc.

Good thing we’ve got Suisham, now. Good grief.
Last week, the penalty situation was laughable. This week: unacceptable. Kemoeatu had 3 of his very own false starts. 3! The last of which killed a drive likely to end in a TD, but thanks to 3rd & 20+, instead it ended in a FG. Thanks, Chris.
Sure, 8-3, but now we’re heading to Baltimore. The Ravens are 5-0 at home and they’re healthy this season. With half our key players broken, Sunday is going to be rough. Ben has a great record against the Ravens, but his support system hasn’t been this beat up before. Oy.

The Browns got it done and the Steelers couldn’t? Ridiculous.
I’d argue that game wasn’t won by the Saints as much as it was lost by the Steelers. And let’s hope this is an aberration, because we can’t go back to falling apart in the 2nd half like last season. The defense was mostly there, but Keisel’s absence was felt last night. So: LeBeau’s got some work to do and Diesel: get better soon, buddy! (:

Blërg.
Everyone was a mess. Troy’s inability to consistently wrap. people. up. continues to drive me bonkers; when he’s on, he’s ON. But when he flies across the field, barely swipes the receiver, and rolls out of play? No.
It would be super, too, of Kemoeatu could not jump offside when we’re already pinned behind the 5-yard line.
Upsides! Randle El with the one-handed catch! Batch playing the Ravens’ false starts with big throws down field. Rashard getting better with the short plays. It was only 1 game and everyone’s got 2 weeks to work with Ben before Cleveland comes to town.

Heh, no but really that could have been u-g-l-y.
There is no reason the Titans should have had the chance to think about pushing to OT at the end. Not that I can begrudge the Defense being on the field most of the game and playing in one of its hottest games, but those last few minutes were not enjoyable.
Still, they play better with something to prove and yesterday’s game bore that out. Tell them they can’t win without Ben and this is what you get. I love it.

Don’t get me wrong, close-scoring games are fun, but damn. Dixon did a pretty good job today, although he definitely carries bad plays forward. The mistakes seem to compound one he’s got a hurry-up, or incomplete pass. Not so badly they lose the game, but still; it’ll be good when he can shake those off faster.
Upside: 1-0! (:

Dennis! He did well, yesterday, it was nice to see; that kid moves! That connection with Antonio Brown (84) for that touchdown was excellent.
