Of the 2 Titans games I have been to...

The last time was the game Vs the Falcons. And what sticks out to me more than the Int by finny was the monster goal line stand to win the game. The play says it all was when Haynesworth jumped the count perfectly and dragged down leftwitch before he could hand the ball off. Good times. I’m stoked to be flying out for the Tampa Bay game.

I ment Fuller Int

I remember watching this... and I remember Fully got a pick 6... and Albert had a camera angle on him

and he looked as if he was headed full speed to hit one of their offensive linemen but laughed and decided not to. I would give 500$ MCM bucks to see that play again with Haynesworth laughing…

GO TITANS!!!

Yes really...

He actually is doing a heckuva lot better then Matt Ryan. Look at Ryan’s Wide Receivers compared to Hasselback’s as well… I think our Matt is playing better… but I have not seen Ryan play much at all.

GO TITANS!!!
