    <em>Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky<img align="right" alt="" height="80" src="http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/med/ten.gif" width="80" /></em> <p>What I think they're thinking at the <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=ten" shape="rect" target="_new">Tennessee Titans</a> headquarters this afternoon:</p> <p>Jeff Fisher sold us hard on the idea that beating Pittsburgh would give us all the momentum that we needed heading into the playoffs, and we have to believe in that now because we don't want anything we did in Indianapolis to carry over.</p> <p>The 13-3 record is nice but it is disappointing that, with a chance at the franchise's first 14-2 season, our depth couldn't match up to Indianapolis' depth when it came to production.</p> <p>We respect everyone in the playoff field and we will take on all comers, unafraid. But we know many of our fans are wary of the Ravens. Baltimore came to Nashville in the 2000 playoffs when we were the top seed and they were No. 4 and shocked us, stealing a game and running off to their Super Bowl win. That is more the fans' concern than it is our concern, because while a lot of coaches were around then, only three players were -- punter <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=538" shape="rect" target="_new">Craig Hentrich</a>, linebacker <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2161" shape="rect" target="_new">Keith Bulluck</a> and defensive end <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1767" shape="rect" target="_new">Jevon Kearse</a>.</p> <p>We beat the Ravens in the regular season at their place, and if they win in Miami they will be coming to us and we'll beat them again. But if the Dolphins can pull the upset Sunday, we'd welcome Indy or San Diego to Music City instead.</p> <p>We should be close to healthy by the time we get to kickoff on Jan. 10. The one guy we worry about is defensive end <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2582" shape="rect" target="_new">Kyle Vanden Bosch</a>.</p>

    Can anyone see Baltimore losing? Because I am quite certain we will be seeing them.

    I haven't seen the Vegas odds yet but I'll bet they'll be close. At home I'm thinking the Fins to be a slight Underdog. I wouldn't want to bet on this one.

    I seriously doubt we underestimate or overlook anyone in the playoffs, especially Balitmore.
    I see us coming out with red eyes and breathing fire for our first playoff game.
    I do think Peyton is in for his second rude awakening if the Colts are lucky enough to beat the Chargers, and they come here.
    If Baltimore shows up, I think we will do fine. It will be a defensive game. Although I think we may have a slight advantage on offense for once. One, KC has stepped it up and has beat Balti with his arm once before this season and Two, our D seems to have Flacco's number. We will be harrassing him all game if they're not careful.
    Concerned? Yes. Worried? No.

    Fisher knows Baltimore and he knows 2000, I can guarantee he won't sleep on them.
