Tennessee at Cincinnati Cincinnati

Not so much I guess. I like everyone thinking TN sucks. Flying under the radar is fine by me.
doubt they'll go anywhere, tho i think fisher is a good coach and they have talent at RB and both lines, they won't go anywhere without a qb

Kinda like the Ravens of about 10 years ago, right? :)
heh, every qb-less team points to that ravens team as hope. i haven't seen a d like that since though.

Have you watched the Titans yet this year? Also, just a point of interest, the Titans actually had the #1 scoring defense that year... or was it total yards... can't remember which but the Ravens D that year was only #1 in one of the two categories (total yards or total points allowed).
i watch them as often as i can, they were one of the replays on the terrible nfl network this week.

they're a good, solid team and i like the way they play ball. fact is, is they don't have a real qb. how many teams have won the sb with a shaky qb? ravens in 2002 or whatever, and that's about it.

This is pretty true but to be fair Kerry Collins is the type of guy who might be able to pull it off. Veteran who isn't going to get you beat, can hit all of the passes and whose only weakness is an inability to scramble. Peyton Manning can't scramble for shit. :p And no I'm not trying to say he's Peyton.

To be honest I think with Collins at QB you will now see just how shitty the Titans receiving corp really is.

The Bears probably would have won one a few years ago, cept Grossman was not injured, so they lost.
Yes, that was game that all nfl has put in the back of their mind.

wow, jordan looks good

I know.....you think he will take the place of maroney or morris?

naw, i think maroney is devastating when he's on. and i love how morris runs. maroney has to stay healthy and turn it up field more. he's definitely the most talented and belichick seems to have a lot of confidence in him when healthy.

they have a solid bunch of backs, but maroney, imo, is the key. he's gotta make more than 2-3 plays a game.

Did the Pats do well today? They're going to have a rough season without Brady, and they haven't put up many points on the board. Is the defense doing better at least?

The whole game was pretty much a defensive slugfest. Cassel showed that he has yet to develop a QB instinct. The one big pass who could have had was dropped by Moss.

No, Cromartie is playing like shit and they chose to play prevent D(free TD)
