Why last nights game makes me more convinced we will win the division.

    Our defense stuffed Bell on the 15 carries that he got. It took Big Ben throwing the ball all over the yard to beat us. The defense still hasn't given up a long run all year.

    Ain't no way that Blake Bortles throws the ball all over us and that is what he is going to have to do to beat us.

    I'm not upset by the loss last night because I didn't really think we would beat the Steelers up there without some help. Instead we gave them plenty of help with penalties, INTs, and dropped TDs. Those mistakes are correctable.

    We still have time to pull it together and get that top 10 draft pick.

    Wow. An optimistic thread getting started after that thumping.

    It's a good change, a good change. (Men in Tights folks) And appropriate for the Titans, we upgraded from s**thouse a couple years ago to just latrine.

    I'm 99.9% convinced the AFC South will be won week 17 when we host the Jags..

    Then wouldn't shock me if we met them first in the playoffs the following week.

    Had we stayed the course last night like we did in the first half, I think that would've been really good for the growth of this team.

    The fact that the score could've been 47-17 is very telling and very similar to the loss in Houston.

    We can beat the Cleveland's of the NFL at home all day long, but the game last night was the measuring stick that we all wanted to see.

    Hopefully the Browns can help us out this Sunday, but it's going to be very tough to win in Indy the next time we hit the field.

    We do pair up with the JagRags nicely, we just gotta win the games we are supposed to up until then.

    Mostly everyone throws on us so I don't draw much from from Big Ben whooping us that way..

    We kind of make it too easy to toss the ball around vs our defense. That's how you beat us..

    That damn camera angle showed just how open opposing receivers are against us.

    Still having flashbacks on how wide open Bryant was on 3rd and long when it was 16-14 in the 3rd..

    it was 14-16 until we crumbled towards end of 3rd -- we can hang. we just need offensive consistency, the broken record of this year -- our defense is elite even though last nights score didnt indicate, but we need a pass rusher...

    This pretty much sums it up. We have won 6 games and haven’t played our best football. We have won 6 games by playing at about 60% of our ability. We will start firing on all cylinders and will be tough in the playoffs.
