Apropops of nothing but everything, reinstating my old pinned tweet link to @ri_cook's fantastic "How Complex Systems Fail" (pdf, 4p.) dropbox.com/s/mpknuojnf4ygss…

As much as I have ... feelings ... about much of Amazon's broadcast, that was great audio of Jameis on the 4th down hut hut

Felt like a very close-run thing that could have gone either way almost to the very end, but congrats to Jeff Blashill on outlasting Michael Carrick #Blackhawks #UTD

Half-baked ideas on what the #Titans need to figure out after the bye: 1. Cam Ward. Obvs. 2. Can Nick Singleton be 2027's Tony Pollard, or do they need to re-sign Pollard for that? 3. Dan Moore getting cut: an option or an inevitability? 4. RG: Carmona, Mafi, Slater, or 2027 add?

5. How many new DL do they need for 2027? 6. Cedric Gray: 2027 starter or trade candidate? 7. Joshua Williams: 2027 starter or do they need somebody else? 8. Need one 2027 starting SAF w/ Hooker trade, but do they need competition for Winston or just injury depth?

Disclaimer: haven't watched today's Borgonzi presser, will likely do that tonight. But I doubt that would affect my list much.

Titans previously sent their 2028 #5 to Chicago as part of the Simmons deal, so this was my assumption. Good to see it confirmed. Start the build this April.

This trade involves all 2027 draft picks, per source - Bills get NFL interception leader Amani Hooker + 2027 5th rd pick - Titans get Bills 2027 2nd pick

Best wishes to Amani in Buffalo. Wondered if his appearance on Titans podcast last week was meant to signal he'd be staying, but apparently not. Getting a #2 feels like good value for him & where he is.

Trade! The Titans are sending standout safety Amani Hooker to the Bills, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Titans started thin at SAF, but aren't so thin they needed a SAF back if they traded their started like when they got Edmunds back from PHI in Byard trade. And when you're 1-7, don't sweat the small stuff.

Watching him play, it feels so much like Justin Herbert just doesn't know what he's seeing. Standing there failing to make a decision, except sometimes he makes a bad one. Nice TD grab by Nico to make it 31-9, though.

Fail Mary moment in San Francisco, with one official signaling touchdown and the other touchback after Michael Mayer fumble at the goal line.

Great INT by Treydan Stukes. 49ers O lives off that kind of threw & he took away space Purdy thought he'd have to hit Kittle.

Browns letting 35 seconds run without trying to line up for a play feels like a good example of how NFL teams don't value seconds before 2MW

So Harold Fannin bounces off a couple tackles and goes into the end zone, which means the Browns didn't need the time at all.

One of the Corgis in the #Panthers Corgi Race decided to go rogue. Group effort to take him down 😂 #KeepPounding

A lot of bad football being played across the NFL the past 90 minutes

9. Finished +2 in TO margin & got a stop on 4&2/+5, still lost in OT. D got whipped late, O didn't win game w/ late chance & wasn't nearly as consistently successful after overall great first 2 drives. On to the bye at 1-7. /fin, broader thoughts maybe later

10. Oh, with the 2 drives today that made it to Bengals territory but didn't result in points, the Titans now have 18 such drives on the season. I track this manually for TEN so don't have this for anybody else, but that feels like a lot. /fin for real
