    They just don't care.

    Flat out, as simple as it gets. The talent is there, but from top to bottom the majority of the players on the roster are "ok" with being 0-6 in the National Football League. They are fine just being in the league.

    It's clearly displayed in every player interview, you can hear the players joking around like they were in week 11 last season. I'm not saying you can't have a good time, but we're 0-6 and all we've heard for 4 weeks is, "We're going to turn this around".

    It's not only the players though, the coaches don't care either. Fisher just publicly embarrassed our team by making a joke out of our 0-6 record and wearing a Manning jersey on top of that. The coaching staff won't change anything until they're forced to, because they care more about they're own philosophies then they do about whats best for the team.

    This team DID quit against New England, they have given up on the season, and aside from Bulluck and a few others, none of them give a damn about the W/L column. The truth is all of them are more concerned about how many 0's are in their bank account then how many 0's are in the win column. Until the mentality changes, we'll be a sorry team.

    The team seems pretty embarrassed in the locker room. Not sure what interviews you've been watching.

    I agree with you on everything other than the stupid Manning jersey. That has nothing to do with anything. The problem is coaching during the games. How long does it take for Cecil to make a change? I mean come on. The Pats scored 5, yes 5, TD in one quarter. Do you think a change should have come after the 2 or 3 in the same quarter. I honestly think it time to put Cecil back where he came from. Bring someone in or move some to the DC job. The last time our D played half decent was opening night, even though Douchelisburger threw for way to many yards.

    The changes need to come during this bye week. Coach Fish needs to start flipping the F out when something is wrong. Stop being complacent. People need to be held accountable if they mess up. If you quit during your job, what happens? Your fired. Well, since we pay everyone to much to play a game, the least they could do is bench their As*es for a game.

    IMO here is what needs to change this week.

    1. QB - Put Vince in so we know what we have to look forward to next year. Either pay him, trade him or cut him. "Collins give us the best chance to win" needs to go. Cant/Havent won yet. Make the change.

    2. New DC - Cecil is not cutting it. Hasnt made changes the whole year. Waiting too long will put our once stellar D in the cellar with Browns and Lions.

    I completely agree with you on a lot that you say. I think putting in vince too will be effective, because I see vince as a guy who teammates rally around during tough times, and I don't think Collins is that type of QB, he is only a manager. I hope vince is in there by the time i go to the bills game, gives me something to look foward to

    TheSureThing,
    Usually you and I agree with one another in regards to playing Vince, but I beg to differ with your point here. I think this team does care about their record, mainly for one reason. If they didn't care, I think someone would be calling out the coaches publicly. Because once you do that, your done in Fisher land. Say Bulluck didn't care; he would criticize the coaches calls and that would end his time in Tennessee. To me; him not saying something shows he stills cares about playing.

    Also how does LenDale White stay quiet this long? I don't think him saying what everyone else is thinking would create problems. Maybe this year isn't his year to be talking, so have someone else do it, but please before were officially out of it someone needs to open their mouth.

    Everyone on that roster knows you better buy in to Fishers plan or else.

    The Titans real problem is that we don't have a special teams bird.

    That pigeon is living the dream for all birds in America. Would have been better if the team that pigeon played for was actually a bird, and not gay pirates.

    Curse Of The Terrible Towel
    A Poem By Dave Crawley

    There is power, they say, in the towels that wave.
    Like black and gold shrouds on the visitor's grave.
    It's a mojo opponents should never neglect.
    The Terrible Towel requires respect.

    Then this! A deed unspeakably foul!
    The Tennessee Titans defiles the towel!
    Although their crass actions made Steeler fans wince,
    You'll notice that Titan team hasn't won since.

    They lost to the Colts. Then the Ravens came in,
    A game Tennessee was expected to win.
    But the curse of the towel gave Tennessee shakes,
    As they sank in a series of stunning mistakes.

    Our Black and Gold guys had a much different story.
    Santonio Holmes led the gallop to glory.
    Fast Willie scored, and the Steelers were winning.
    For the Chargers the torment was only beginning.

    Third quarter. Alas, on the Bolts' only play,
    Foote gives them the boot, and he takes it away.
    The towels were twirling as Ben let it go,
    And the much maligned offense was starting to flow.

    That towel brings sorcery into the fray.
    If you don't believe it, well, check out this play.
    To add to the Chargers' grim feelings of dread,
    A punt that careened off this poor fellow's head.

    The message, of course, as we hooted with glee,
    From the Terrible Towel: Do not tread on me.
    A word to the Ravens. The moment draws nigh.
    This is the reason you're still flying high.

    The Titans besmirched it, and now to our glee
    They will be watching this game on TV.
    As you enter the confines where Steeler fans howl:
    Beware of the curse of the Terrible Towel.
