Breaking News: The Titans Own The Texans, And Their Media Knows It

CBS Houston has a list that's sure to brighten your day: Marc Vandermeer decided to make my day by compiling a list of the 10 Most Painful Texans Losses. Our beloved and vastly superior Titans appear on the list four different times, far more than any other team.
Honestly, I'm surprised they were able to whittle the sheer preponderance of despair and self-hate we've inflicted on those poor bastards to four losses that hurt worse than the others. Case in point: we only beat one team after the Eagles game last year, and that was a 31-17 beat-down of said Texans. Us beating anyone in that tailspin should be so embarrassing to the losing party that they forfeit the rest of the season anyways. Yet, that wasn't painful enough to make this list.
So what conquests of good over douchecanoe did make the list? Follow us through the jump for the list and my comments.
10. Titans 27 Texans 24 2003 Reliant Stadium
In some ways this game was a blip on the radar of Steve McNair's greatest season. McNair was riddled with injuries, yet threw for 268 yards and 2 TDs. The final drive was vintage McNair, who limped down the field with under two minutes left on the clock on the way to hitting Drew Bennett in the end zone for the win. Most folks promptly forgot this game because a few weeks later came perhaps the most satisfying win in Titans history: Titans 20, Baltimore 17 in the wildcard round.
Rob effin' Bironas. He was so good that day Direct TV made a commercial pitching Sunday Ticket out of it. 8-8 on FGs. The Titans were up big early, blew the lead, but turned it around just in time to ice the win.
3. Titans 20 Texans 14 Monday Night Football. 2009 Reliant Stadium
VY takes back the starting job, so you'd think this one was a breeze, but it was a botched Kris Brown FG that kept the good guys on top. Honestly, the thing that sticks out the most about this win was the feeling of wanting to break everything in the room when a successful fake punt was negated by a delay of game call with about 5:30 left in the 4th.
1. Titans 26 Texans 20 OT 2006 Reliant Stadium
For all of the BS that was to follow, this play by VY is easily the second greatest play in Titans history. Even if you watch it enough to get tired of the run itself, it's worth watching another 100 times for the immaculate blocking downfield:
After that list, I honestly can't wait to see what kind of soul crushing plays Jake Locker pulls off against the Texans.

Vince’s touchdown run is still one of the most amazing plays I’ve ever seen. that was the first Titans game I watched from beginning to end. after that, I was hooked.

i h8 Vince Young
Why does he have to be such an idiot? Seriously? WHY?!?!?!?!?!
HE WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!11
I live in the OC.
The one in OH.
Vince Young's run..
was amazing. It was also the first professional football game that I ever attended. I thought it was great that there were more Vince Young jerseys in that stadium than all of the texans jerseys combined. Although half of those VY jerseys were his ugly orange jersey, but still, he was a God in Houston.
Honestly though, does The Nameless look waaaaaay less in shape then he did back then as apposed to now?
or is it just me? Maybe that’s a reflection of his “training”…

I remember the game they put at 10...
My mom was at the game… I was watching from home. We texted each other (simultaneously) about how awesome that catch was and how the stadium went from a mad house to DEAD SILENCE instantly.
The VY run was awesome, but the Bironas game is my favorite on that list.
Seriously, 8 field goals in a single game.
It may have been Fisherball at its worst, but luckily Bironas was money that day.
8 for 8
including a 52 yarder and a 43 yarder was just crazy to watch… and I can’t stand the kicking game.

I'll admit as a Texans fan that we have some bad memories of Titans-Texans games.
Most notably the Vince Young run against our pathetic defense.
However, I don’t think Locker is going to make any of these heart-breaking plays anytime soon, mostly because he’s not ready as a pocket passer.
We now have a DC that actually understands football, unlike Frank Bush. We also have a much improved defense, mainly because of Wade Phillips’ involvement in the draft process. We could improve it further in FA, but landing Asomugha is a pipedream.
Basically, we aren’t going to have that same, comically bad defense that we had last year.
Just curious, looking back at the draft, would you guys rather have your FO draft Gabbert over Locker?

I had Gabbert ranked higher than Locker, but I was in the minority.
I also had Dalton ahead of Locker, which was slightly more supported. I do think some had Locker over both those guys though.

F no. Locker was who I wanted the whole time
Honestly, I really don’t think Gabbert will be worth the first round pick. He’s a smart dude… but so was Alex Smith.

I fully admit I wasn't that high on any QB in this draft.
But especially not Sunshine (Gabbert) as Winnipeg coined him draft day. However the more I watch and hear of Locker, the happier I am that we took him.

I was willing to talk up whoever the hell we took, if it was Gabbert, so be it, but since it’s Locker, I’ve become laser focused on the 2010 Washington Huskies and Locker’s upside and completely convinced myself that, while he’s not quite ready yet, he can be the McNair replacement we’ve needed for a long long time.

There's your problem though.
He’s not nearly ready to start yet.
Your other option is Rusty Smith, who made the Texans defense look like the NY Jets defense.
I’m guessing you guys are going to rely heavily on acquiring a veteran QB in FA, am I wrong?

I think so. Munchak doesn’t have a lot of time to make a turnaround and, if he wants to keep his job, he’ll try to start forming a decent team immediately.
it’s also been floating around for awhile that the team is probably trying to add someone, we just have no idea who yet.

One more thing:
Is Vince Young still loved on here?

Nope.

I’m pretty indifferent about him, but I’m in the minority.

More WTF? than hatred
The timeless highlight to childish bullshit ratio just got a little too unacceptable.

If you're looking for VY love, a lot of those guys can be found in the Tennessean comments.

I know fanboy alwaylearning tries to keep his memory alive over there.
I’ve noticed more like 4 or 5 and out of them they keep things stirred. I’ve nearly joined many times just to comment on some of the idiocy but I don’t. I got burnt out on those arguments here long ago.

Here's another question:
Were you guys surprised when Locker was chosen over Gabbert/Dalton/Mallett?

surprised he was picked over Gabbert, not so much on the other two.

Not over Dalton and Mallett for sure, but I was 50/50 about whether we’d choose Gabbert or Locker. I’m actually more satisfied with Locker due to his anti-VY-ness

Locker is actually more like VY than Gabbert is.
Locker’s strength is outside the pocket.

He's talking about work ethic and team first attitude.
Not in terms of play.

Oh.
Locker does seem like a high-character guy.

that’s not really it, Vince was never a malicious guy, just a bit nutty and self-centered, the stuff he did for McNair’s kids was extremely admirable. what we love about Locker is that he’s obsessed with being the best and is more than willing to play through pain (I think he played about 6 games last year with several broken ribs).

Yeah, no surprise he was taken over Mallett and maybe even Dalton.
I guess you could say I was a little surprised he was taken over the much hyped Gabbert, but I was also so very relieved then, too.
