    To get you back on the Titans bandwagon? ... Not as fans (We would all stick with our Titans through anything, well most of us), but in holding out hope for this season.

    Now I know I just made a thread where I predicted only 3 more wins this season for the Titans (and that is still my prediction), but as I was looking at our schedule and looking at the scores for this weeks games and it got me thinking ... Sometimes all a team needs to turn the corner is a little confidence, and nothing gives confidence like winning games. Start winning the easy ones, and maybe the team starts to believe and pulls of an upset or two ... next thing you know you are in the WC race in the last couple weeks of the season.

    Titans just beat (albeit barely) an 0-6 Jax team. And we have a 1-5 WAS team coming up (which we should at least have a shot at beating, not saying that we will) ... But if we did beat WAS, maybe going on a 2 game win streak would give the team some confidence. Maybe pull an upset over HOU and be even going into the bye?

    Would 4-4 start to get people's hopes up? ... I think that while I still wouldn't hold out much hope for the season, my interest would be peaked a little bit.

    After seeing the Browns destroy the Steelers, that starts to look like a much more winnable game ... and I see potentially 3 more wins to end the season with the Jets, Jags, Colts (assuming they have nothing to play for)

    So, the question is, how many more wins would the Titans need before you might start to change your opinion of them?

    4-4 isn't enough for me considering the opponents. Washington is just as terrible as us and I'm still convinced Houston is a pretender (maybe that's just me being biased).

    But if we can win those two and then go into Baltimore and SHOCK THE WORLD then I might start believing again. That would put us on the right side of .500 with 7 games to play.

    I don't think anything besides a repeat of the 2008 regular season, or a playoff win, would restore my faith in this franchise.

    It's bad when your fans expect failure. And we do, for the most part.

    Have a record over .500 and I'll start having a little faith.

    Until then screw off, Titans.

    6-4. No less.

    Also, not happening.

    I seriously do see us pulling a 2009, 2013 Titans and winning games late to pull 8-8 out the ass. 2 games out if playoffs with the 12th pick. Book it.

    Going to take winning the next 4 consecutive games to get to 6-4 to believe this group is capable of playoffs.

    My opinion of them will not change this season, but I will be in a better mood about them if they can beat the Cows and Ravens in consecutive weeks.

    Chances of that happening are somewhere along the line of me getting a call from Whis to suit up as the next starting QB though...pretty long.

    Spending 1 1/2 hours on this site is more entertaining than a half of Titans football. No question.
