Titan(ic)s, meet iceberg, Part Deux

 ... in which the Titanic executes a smart nautical maneuver known as "hanging a left," and does not hit the iceberg, and sails merrily on to New York, where the passengers happily disembark, having had a lovely time that did not involve slowly turning into passengersicles in the North Atlantic.

And then they say this: "That Blob person is quite the bloody idiot, is he not?"

Well ... yes.

That Blob person is quite the bloody idiot.

Twenty-four hours ago he patiently explained all the reasons why the New England Patriots were just laying for the Tennessee Titans up there in Foxborough -- like how Tom Brady was mad and that's not a good thing if you're facing Tom Brady, and how Bill Belichick knew Ryan Tannehill like the back of his hand and that's not a good thing if  you're Ryan Tannehill.

Uh, guess not.

Guess the Blob was wrong again, in the wake of Titans 20, Patriots 13.

Tom Brady might have been mad but the Titans never paid for it, because Brady threw no touchdown passes and a game-ending pick six.

Belichick might have known Ryan Tannehill like the back of his hand, but he missed the part where Tannehill handed off to Derrick Henry 34 times, and Henry gashed the Patriots for 182 yards and a touchdown.

Which is why Tannehill only completed 8-of-15 passes for 72 yards -- 1920 passing numbers, not 2020 -- and it didn't matter.

The Titans still took out the Patriots in Foxborough, just like a lot of smart guys thought.

And the Blob is a bloody idiot.
