So we lost, big whoop; wanna fight about?
I think Keith Bulluck and I are no the same page: It'll be a very different ending if the Jets stroll in here during the playoffs and our Titans healthy. Very different...
Congratulations to genuine American Hero Ahmard Hall for getting his first NFL touchdown on Sunday.
Favre noticed the same thing I did about Boom King: he was very effective, but certainly not completely healthy. Also, you can bet we'll se more one-man route plays like the Jets ran yesterday to get the ball out in under 2 seconds in an effort to offset our pass rush.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen says the Titans are hell-bent on resigning Kerry and Chris Simms during the offseason. Just remember though, that as is always the case, ESPN's Chris Mortensen is Just Effing Guessing.
Good thing Peter King didn't overreact and do anything dumb like say the 3 loss Jets are better than us overall and put them in the Super Bowl or anything, because that would just further erode his credibility and make him look like a mouth-breathing Favreian-fanboy:
2. New York Jets (8-3). Biggest day in the history of New Jersey sports: The Jets vs. the Giants in Tampa ... WITH SPRINGSTEEN AT HALFTIME.
Looking for a Titan to get mad at? LenDale White is here to help you with that:
"I have been over it. It is a game, so what?’’ White said. "You would like to win it, but it is one game, so what? … I only played three plays so I really couldn't tell you what happened, I don't really know, I wasn't paying attention, I didn't care really.’’
Looking for one Titan to man-up and keep this loss in perspective? LenDale White can help you with that too:
"We lost one game, the world's not going to end," running back LenDale White said. "That's how I look at it. We can all be mad and have our faces down and pout about it and not live your life now. But it's one game. You lose one game, that does not mean you can't make it to the playoffs, that doesn't mean you're going to go on a six-game losing streak, that does not mean anything like that. It's one game. You regroup, you come back next week, you've got a short week this week, and you just get ready to fight."
Jeff Fisher said he talked to LenDale after the dumb comment quoted above and everything is just peachy. I'm guessing he reminded LenDale that we only had 11 carries all game and Crazy Legs is the far superior pass blocker, receiver and decoy of the duo.
So what's my opinion on the Chris Carr PI flags on the last drive? Yeah they were definitely pass interference by the letter of the rule, but refs let that light level of contact go all the time late in games. It was very weak that they stuck their nose into our possible comeback, but the refs didn't give up 190+ yards on the ground or drop at least 5 passes.
There's a whole lot of internet out there, so if you have a link you'd like to submit for tomorrow's Morning Links, email me at mcmaugustwest@gmail.com! (Be sure to include your commenting handle so I can give you semi-anonymous credit.)

KVB wasn't the only one not completely healthy.
Bulluck seemed to be trying to avoid making contact with his chest. I notced that last week, too.
yup.
can you imagine how much stretching-out full-bore for that pass deflection in the end-zone hurt?

Power rankings
Mike&Mike just put Giants 1, Jets 2, Colts 3 on the air this morning (I was listening because 104.5 wouldn’t stop talking about college ball).
The media can’t move fast enough to drop the small-market Titans now that we’ve lost one.
Those f*ing f*cknuts
put the Colts ahead of us?
I’m gonna send those spastic barrels of smashed *ssholes a letter-bomb

On LenDale
Do me a favor, catch the ball when it is thrown to you. Maybe if you would have done that you would have been on the field more because the offense could have stayed on the field.

But he didn't complain about his PT

I understand that...I just would keep my mouth shut if I did that
is all I am saying.

I agree with you Jimmy
You can’t complain about PT when you didn’t do everything you could to take advantage of the time you got.
... or when you're not the best player at your position
by any measure other than short yardage specialist, and he also didn’t execute that on the 3rd and 1.

he had converted the last 8 though
chris johnson is headed smack for the rookie wall and jeff fisher is behind the wheel. i guess 54 and 80 yard runs don’t prove that lendale is more than just a bowling ball to get 2 yards with.
also, i don’t remember lendale’s back breaking fumble yesterday…
If I'm not mistaken, that was the 1st lost fumble either RB has had all year.

at least in front of the media anyway
1 carry for lendale and 11 carries overall is ludicrous, and it’s the main reason time of possession was so screwed up
the reasons T.O.P. got so screwed
were dropped passes and our D’s inability to get off the field on 3rd down. Crazy Legs averaged 4.5 yards, so I wouldn’t lay it at his feet…

I agree that Lendale should get more carries
But I don’t necessarily believe that it had anything to do with the outcome of this game.
Also, we're 10-1 so I am not ready to start questioning the coaching decisions.
How things look to me and how things look to them is completely different considering they get paid to do this for a living and I only watch them for about 3 hours a week. They’ve done a good job all year, so I will leave it all up to them.
here here!

They said on the radio afterwards that he'd been nicked-up
I know he left the game against the Jags (I think that was the right game) for a bit, but I hadn’t heard anything about him being hurt since then…

He was listed as probable with a calf injury on Friday's injury report.

Allow me to sum up yesterday as eloquently as possible
We straight up sh!t the bed. End of story. Poor effort on both sides of the ball. Probably needed to happen. I’m as upset as the next guy about the loss but it’s important to remember that we are still 10-1. Lenwhale was right; this loss is not the end of the world.
The PAIN TRAIN is comin baby!
we have to get a lot better
this team is an overrated playoff washout if it repeats yesterday’s performance in january and while that’s a harsh diagnosis for a 10-1 team, it has to said in light of the lack of fire i saw on sunday. i wouldn’t call it a “no show” but they certainly weren’t ready for some football.
the reality is, our quality of play has slipped the last few weeks but it has been masked by winning. it’s time for the guys to get back to business and retake their identity as big, bad head busters who take no prisoners and pound teams into the ground with toughness and physicality. if this team is remembered for kerry collins throwing to gage, macareins and company, it will not be fondly.
I kind of agree...
but the Giants are playoff washouts if they repeat their performance against the Browns, the Jets are washouts if they repeat their performance against Oakland, the Steelers are washouts if they repeat their performance from the Colts game…
It sucks, but it does happen to everyone at some point during the season.
