Thanks, Tom. I thought it may have helped them clinch a playoff spot this week. That should come with win 12 (next week hopefully).

Clinching a playoff spot in Week 13 was possible, but required a bunch of other results to take place. Below is an examination of it:

Jon Robinson the Titans GM got fired today. There’s speculation that it was the Eagles loss with AJ Brown dominating that was the final straw between him and Vrabel. That makes sense. Why else make the move right now?

Hard to say. The flip side is that they gave Robinson a multi-year extension in February of this year.

Doesn't seem to be a good set up at the Titans. Amy Adams Strunk is the majority owner.

If you sit back and think about it you have to conclude that it’s extremely easy for a rogue owner to f up a NFL team. Not saying that it’s the case in Tennessee; I hadn’t heard of Strunk until this thread.

The only reason you fire a freshly-extended GM is a purely emotional reaction. There's no logic to doing it right now.

She's the daughter of the late owner, Bud Adams. She owns half of the franchise, hence the majority owner. Other family members own the remaining 50% of the franchise.

Appears the Birds did quite well when I had to leave for the 2nd & 3rd period.

And some talk on sports radio this week that this was the toughest game on the Birds' schedule this year.

Not an Eagles’ fan but they played great against Tennessee. Couldn’t understand what the Titans were doing on defense. Basically rushed 4 all game and Hurts had all day to throw and so he did. Don’t get anyone claiming Tennessee was the toughest game on their schedule. Minnesota and the Dallas rematch with Prescott in Dallas were/are tougher tests.

Makes no sense to me. Brown is a great player but he got a 1st and a 3rd for him. The guy they took in the 1st had a terrific TD catch which knocked him out of the game. Who knows what he might of done had he not gotten knocked out early in the game
