Last I checked, it doesn't make a difference how many games you lost by how many points. Whether you lose by 1 point or 100 points, it's still an "L"! The Chargers will not be a serious contender in the playoffs. They have a shitty coaching staff and too many players who have no heart!
Disagree. They are the one team, along with Baltimore I would want no part of in the playoffs.
I agree...on both counts. As a Titans fan, I do NOT want to see the Ravens OR especially the Chargers. TN hasn't matched up well against the Bolts for the last few seasons. Allthough I think John's right on about the coaching staff. But both of those teams scare me just a bit. The Colts? Not so much...TN has played them well (and won quite a few of the meetings) over the last few years.
But that's just me as a TN fan. I also disagree that they're gonna roll over in the playoffs. To me, this win today was a statement. Beating one of the finest teams in the NFL WITHOUT Vandenbosh OR Haynesworth? I think at this point respect HAS to be given to Tennessee.
But then again, I AM a homer
I'm a homer when I need to be, that's what diehards do. But I give credit when credits due. Yes, the Titans celebrated like this was their Superbowl. Fine. I've seen and watched football way too long to declare anyone Champions in the regular season. Ask the '04 Steelers, the '05 Colts, the '05 Bengals, and the '07 Patriots about that one. IF, by chance, the Steelers play Tenn again in the AFC Championship, it'll be a lot different than what you saw today. Hopefully their will be no shit splat turnovers like what happened against my team today. Enjoy the victory, bro.. but remember we are in the mirror view mirror.
We will see.
You are correct. sir. It WILL be different...Tennessee will have Haynesworth and Vandenbosch!
But trust me, I ain't sleepin on Pittsburgh. THAT'S why I give the Titans so much credit for stepping up and getting a win that no one said they'd get. ( cept John, that is
Big deal, their replacements stepped in anyway and did exactly what they would have done.. taken advantage of an average offensive line that has been having problems ALL SEASON.
They could do no more damage than their replacements did yesterday, that's how bad the Steelers schemes are, offensively. I thought the Stillers would take it yesterday, but wasn't shocked the Titans beat us in their house, after all they were the #1 seed all year up to that point, AND they were playing at home in a frenzy. If we play next time, the Steelers won't have a brutal stretch and have to go through a pack of lions to get to you guys. They will be well rested, fresh, and have the knack on their shoulders since we already played you once. We know what to expect. There won't be no more disrespecting of the Terrible Towel. (#1 mistake.)
Deano, I was mainly talking about the AFC PLAYOFFS, but it is what it is, dude. ANYONE can take this thing. 0-0.
We all saw what Arizona did to Dallas on a fast track, and playing at home in the first round in 'Zona (where I think is one of the hardest places to play) could spell doom or upset for some teams.
It'll be fun this year to see how it plays out.
Bring on the Super Bowl.
FU Scropos. You too Michigan Girl!
