    Did you miss the greatest comeback in NFL history awhile back...Oilers vs Bills where we gave up the greatest comeback to a backup QB? THAT was the most disappointing loss ever for me!!! Even worse than the Super Bowl! But because of that loss, I never had a thought this game was over with Atlanta's big lead...especially after the stupid playcalling in the second half!

    Totally agree with everything else!

    I was AT that Super Bowl and despite the loss, I was proud that our team fought back! Already down our FS, Blaine Bishop goes down and gets carted off the field! That was a sobering moment where for a few minutes, I didn't care about the game and just hoped a tough team leader was gonna be OK. Fisher gave probably the best speech of his life and we come roaring back. It took a flukey play for them to go up a score...namely Kearse finally beating his guy to crush Kurt who seriously under threw the ball...which is why they caught it and ran for a TD. Saw a Super Human effort from McNair on the 2nd to last play...shedding Kevin Carter and a DT - refusing to go down and end the game on a sack - to throwing a throwing a completion to give us a chance at a last second miracle!

    Great effort and a great comeback a yard short! There are worst things. And I firmly believe if we had both S's healthy, we win that game and crush their offense with our 46D like we did during the regular season that year!

    I would have given you "cheers" but I only want the beer to drink my sorrows away from this miserable franchise that I continue to allow to rot my soul in hope of one day reaching the promise land known as Super Bowl Champions.

    I feel like Dyson summed up how close the Oiler/Titans have been multiple times since 1978.

    Funny, we get chewed up by our division rivals, eek out a 9-7 record and miss the playoffs with a 3 yr rebuild since Munchak. Quinn is there 2 years and takes a sub-.500 team to the Super Bowl and you think he'd be on the hotseat?

    Id fire Mularkey 100x before Quinn. He got to the SB in two years...we didn't even make the playoffs losing to a 2 win team who fired their coach the week before.

    He'll take lumps for losing this game - as he should. But hot seat? LOL!!! Not even close!!!

    Well...arguably, the Falcons built up a big lead mostly running the ball and when they SHOULD have run the ball and tried to pass...THAT was one of the main things that opened the door for the Pats. So don't totally agree though I am amzed that no defense has figured out how to kill Brady with so much 5 man protections. Wasn't that what was wrong with the run and shoot...you get your QB killed? How come no one is killing the Pats offense?

    And Brady isn't making all the throws any more anyway. He MISSED a lot of wide open plays in the first half which really hurt them.

    Dude I was like 4 years old when that game happened. Lol

    But believe me I brought up that game to friends last night. I said that game and the Falcons blowing it were the two biggest choke jobs in the history of the NFL.

    I have no emotional ties to the Oilers either. I'm all Titans... so as much as it sucks to think about what it would've been like to experience that loss to the Bills, I just don't care personally.
