At the risk of looking like an idiot, I have to honestly say....

gotitans27 — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:44:04 -0000

I am not surprised by this start. Last year everything fell into place. Were we a good team? Yes. Were we the best team in the NFL? I don't think so, nor did I ever think so. It was a great ride last season. The Titans pulled out win after win and played well. They weren't ever a dominant team, but effective. I remember thinking Jimmy was crazy when his predicted each of the games last year and had our boys winning game after game. I was thinking somewhere around 8-8. Then the team had the season they did, homefield throughout and choked it away. It's so hard in this league to get to the Super Bowl and win it, I was devastated because we obviously blew a very good chance. Do you realize our longest road trip last year was to Houston? That's crazy, things really fell into place and we took advantage of breaks we don't normally get.

Now this year, 3 quality opponents to start the season, let's not forget that. The Texan loss was disappointing, but they are not a bad team. It is not easy to go into Pittsburgh and win or to go into New York and win. The scary thing....where is it easy to go and win? I think we will trudge along and finish the season somewhere between seven and nine wins. We just aren't good enough to be a Super Bowl team. I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong.

Now for the QB situation. If Vince Young is going to ever be the QB for this team again, then now is the time to do it. I'm not blaming Collins on these losses, although he has been far from spectacular. But 0-3, why not try Young and see what happens. Like I have always said, I want him to be the QB we anticipated when we drafted him. I think Fisher made the right decision last year and the first three weeks this year....but I am ready to see what Young can do. Things can't be worse.

As for Special Teams, Fisher has always preached about how important they are. I am surprised he has let it get to this, but I expect him to do something to change things. Those of you that have regulars on here for years know that I am a die hard and in it for the long haul....I don't care who is where as long as I am happy on Sunday afternoons. It's time to make the move now Titans....I just don't know if we have it in us.

Enjoy the game!

I don't think I will be able to be on here tonight so I just want to let everyone know to enjoy the game and remember...it's one of sixteen. Don't get too excited if things go well, don't get too down if things don't. It's going to be a very tough task to go into Pittsburgh and pull out a win with all the hype they will have surrounding opening night. Hopefully we can get it done!

I have a volleyball match (I coach) so I won't be home until around half time. Thank God for Tivo, I will watch the game from the beginning. If I catch up, then I'll jump on the site and get involved (I love game days on here!)

A photo of Steve McNair: This was the closest I ever got to Steve McNair. It was at TSU at training camp before the 1998 season. He, Eddie, and others stood outside and signed autographs until everyone was happy. I've been so impressed with the coverage MCM has had with this ordeal. I felt my self coming here often the past couple of days....sharing in this with others that feel the same way I do.

Sportscenter just said....

Kind of what August said. The Titans have offered a second round pick and a player (not named) for Boldin. The Cardinals have given permission to the Titans to talk with Drew Rosenhaus. This would be unbelievable friends. We need to do this. I hope it is White too. Come on Mikey.....MAKE IT HAPPEN! I have a little room to fill, does anyone think there is any chance the Titans will be able to get Pettigrew from OkSt.?

All of this predicting and stuff....

is all fun, but we are all fooling ourselves. Here's what is going to happen:

The commissioner will walk up to the podium and say, "with the 30th selection of the 2009 NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans select "insert name".

Everyone will be like, "wow", or "I didn't see that one coming", or "who?".

Then we will spend the next couple of weeks complaining about our frustration with the teams lack of improvement during the offseason. We will point to what other teams are doing and question why the Titans aren't doing those things.

Then the season will come around, the team will win more games that any of us thought and "insert name" will end up being a stud.

This is exactly what has happened the past two seasons, I wouldn't mind being happy about the pick...but before it happens, just remember Michael Griffin and Chris Johnson.

Tennessee Titans to Play in the Hall of Fame Game

gotitans27 — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 02:20:27 -0000

The NFL announced today that the Titans and Bills will play in the Hall of Fame game next season and will wear uniforms from the old AFL days. This means the Titans will get a 5th preseason game.

5 preseason games scare me. I'm always worried about an injury, however it will be nice to have a nationally televised game to start the year off. i am pretty sure training camp will start earlier too. It should be interesting with a lot of Bills fans since Ralph Wilson and Bruce Smith are going to be inducted.

This is the first time I have actually been able to look toward next season. The Ravens game was 3 weeks ago today and I am still crushed. We very easily could be playing tomorrow for all of the marbles. I'm enjoying the player reviews and hey, let's lay off Alge Crumpler. His fumble really only cost us points (crap, we would of won with 4 more points). But we did get a FG off the field position. It was all of the mistakes....ughhh, I have to stop thinking about it now.

Congratulations

Hey, as painful as it is to lose to the Ravens in this round again...I do want to congratulate those of you that are loyal fans of the team. It has to feel so nice to be the 6 seed and to be moving on to the AFC Championship game. I'm not going to lie to you all, I do not like the Ravens at all. I'm still not over Brian Billick and all of his smugness. I do like Harbaugh though. Anyway, your team made the plays when they had to and that's what it takes to win in the NFL. Congrats again.

Our Image....

gotitans27 — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 02:45:27 -0000

The more I see and read, the more it seems that the Titans have a pretty poor image. After the Texans game, I heard of some Houston fans saying how classless the players were in defeat. Then there was obviously the terrible towel situation with Pittsburgh, and now Carolina's RB's going nuts over Lendale White.

How are the Titans viewed by the average NFL fans? I know Colts and Texan fans have a general dislike which is understandable. But what about everyone else? Does the average fan think of us as "thugs" or "punks"? Are we hated like a lot of teams hate the Patriots? Does the average fan want us to lose? How much (if any) does Adam Jones have to do with our image. Is the negativity because we are good?

It's a slow week and I have been thinking about this stuff a little, I just I would get all of your thoughts.

OT- Yankees and Happy Holidays

gotitans27 — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 13:37:31 -0000

I know many of us are baseball fans so I thought I would escape the towel talk to bring up the Yankees. Are they just ruining all of fun of the Hot Stove League or what? It is ridiculous how they are allowed to operate and can buy whomever they want. Now I know they haven't won anything for a few years, but what they have done this offseason is probably going to change that. Baseball has to do something to fix this. It has to start with the players union. I don't blame to the team for doing it, they are just doing what they are allowed.

Also, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Spend some time with your families and take a couple of stress free football weeks and enjoy it. Hopefully, the biggest gift from the Titans is yet to come!
