And go Bills!

BTW, anybody see the Vols yesterday?  If the Vols can pull it out in 4 OTs despite a colossal 2nd half collapse, then I think the Titans will be okay.  No logic there, but I'm going with it.

"Yes Bob, good thing they're playing the Titans today."

Bad D by the Titans. we need to plug up those holes on the defensive line because we can't keep up with this double threat run/pass game by the Bengals

Let em kick their 3 and lets get some points of our own

We need this one.

Stupid Bills... get it together.

Honestly, I am not that upset about it. We need to focus on improving. Making the playoffs in itself isn't going to make us a better team.

nice catch moulds

As I am typing this, the defense is just giving away plays.  It's like they have already given up...

This is unwatchable.

By the way, Rich Scanlon, you suck.  You are the epitome of the last three weeks.  I don't know if you are trying to be cute or funny or what, but that was the most unnecessary and ridiculous penalty I think I have ever seen!  What do you, as a football player who I am assuming played as a little kid in some kind of peewee league, began to learn the fundamentals of the game in high school and then had the opportunity to hone your craft as a college athlete, think the rule regarding fair catches is intended for?  IT HAS BEEN THE SAME SINCE YOU PLAYED SIX YEAR OLD FOOTBALL JACKASS!!!!!!!!!  He is giving up his right to advance that football in exchange for not being hit. NOT BEING HIT.  What the F--- were you thinking?  That rule has not changed in years!  It does not change as you advance through the ranks of football!  It does not say that "a player who gives a legal fair catch signal agrees to not advance the ball in return for the opportunity to complete the catch without being hit, UNLESS some overpaid jackass who does not deserve to be where he is decides that he will try to be cute and funny and put a shoulder into the receiver and then pull up like we are playing in the backyard. If this occurs the official is to realize that the overpaid jackass who does not deserve to be where he is is just trying to be cute and funny like he is playing in the backyard and not throw the flag."  NO.  JACKASS!

You know what, I can do that.  If that is what we are expecting and putting up with out of our special teams players, sew Ramsey on a jersey and cut me a check.  I can be stupid.  I may be slow and uncoordinated, but I can be stupid enough to hit someone after a fair catch signal.  Sign me up.  Give me a chance to act like an idiot on a ship that is sinking fast.  What makes him so different than me?  And you know the best part about it?

He is still going to get paid this week.  Probably more than most of the people reading this blog make in a month.

Sorry for the rant.

By the way, did anyone else hear Steve Beauaruarualein say "USC thugs" as they came back from commercial early?  Priceless.

I knew they were not as good as their record at 6-2, but I sure didn't expect such a complete collapse.

We got blown out by San Diego last year, but that was by a team that actually made the playoffs.

Can anyone remember getting thrashed like this by a team that is 3 and 7?  

Is this the worst ass whipping of a Titan team?  Maybe not by score, but damn.

how do you lose yardage on a punt return and hold!
