Tennessee Titans Morning Links: Last Year's Bus To The Pro Bowl Is Now A Unicycle Edition

because the reaction at Stampede Blue would probably crash the internet. And I would enjoy reading every post.

That would be funny.

Polian’s been saying forever that the only thing they are working for is the post season.

Frankly, I was shocked by my emotional reaction at the time – I felt like I got kicked in the stomach, tbh.

In all honesty, this year I’d like to have players like Gary Brackett (out last year @ SD) and Dwight Freeney (out in 07 against SD) play this time around. I live in the San Diego area and I am really tired of losing to the Chargers.

The only one I know of is the 1994 San Fran 49ers. They rested all of their starters vs. the Minnesota Vikings the last game of the year, then crushed everyone in their path.

i still have no rational basis for why roos is better than those 3 this year. football outsiders shows that the titans are actually pretty terrible running to the left, 23rd off left end and 31st off left tackle (our bacon lies to the right with stewart where we rank 9th of tackle and 4th off end). i definitely think roos was deserving, im just not sure he was any more deserving than the other guys, while i think bironas was more deserving.

Even Manning, early in his career, often put up crappy numbers when he had to press. And God knows that Drew Brees has. Ditto Eli Manning this season, as well as Jay Cutler and Big Ben.

Bottom line: there are precious few QBs in the League who can take a team on their shoulders and succeed when the rest of the team is playing like crap. That has always been the case.

I’m not going to ignore what my eyes see.

I was just trying to throw everybody off.

we just call it like it is.

It’s about results vs. expectations. The difference here is that in 2007 the TEAM was very good, but the QB wasn’t doing a lot to help (vs. 2006, when I think we can all agree VY played very well for a rookie.). 2008 looked like more of the same. Then this year has been much more like 2006, but with much better passing from the pocket.

And then, too, how can you blame that loss to the Chargers on VY when the Chargers only had to punt ONE TIME in the entire game.

Though, I’d argue that pressure probably wasn’t what got to him. The big stage has never bothered Vince.

I think it was playing against a better defense more than anything else.

My impression was that he was a guy who held the ball WAY TOO LONG and caused problems for his team because of it when faced with decent pass-rushing defenses. ’Course, I guess the same could be said for Schaub.

That strikes me as a myth fans and players buy into. You’re either good or you’re not and your team is either good or they’re not. I seriously doubt Schaub has anything to do with the Texans Running game disappearing, their defense’s propensity to give up huge comebacks (related to the troubles with the Running game, no? Can’t kill the clock), and losing Owen Daniels.

You could say the same about Vince. Couldnt beat San Diego and Indy when it “mattered most”. Played his worst two games against the teams the team needed him to be at his best. Shows a lack of a killer instinct.

See how patently absurd that is?

Friday was horrible!! A complete breakdown from special teams to the secondary, both lines (defense & offense) pretty much every damm player on the team with the execption of C..ya..J.
