LOL

Titans, I think. But I also thought that last year.

Texans

good luck....

anyone have xbox live and NCAA 09???

Colts.

David, local papers in Nashville report Chris Johnson (first pick RB) is running plays from the flanker position. Add Lavelle Hawkins. Boom. We will not be last.

Why on earth would the Titans need WR's? It's not like they have a QB who could get them the ball, anyhow. ;-)

I agree about the WR issue. The management ignores it like the WRs they have will magically sprout suction-cups for hands and suddenly start running routes like blue-chips. I think VY would get a lot less heat if they had 1 good WR or a really good TE, but it still hasn't happened. Houston has better core players on the offense and has spent a year as a team. Barring injuries, I think that even Houston will edge out Tennessee.

Can Alge really be dominant this year? It's been a while since that star shined. We will see. He's a big target still, but he needs to be in top form to be effective in the AFC south.

The Titans still need a QB...

the titans do not need a QB

VY doesn't need to be an expert passer when he can run the ball like he can. Just like most homerun hitters in baseball aren't the best at stealing bases. Who needs to be able to steal bases when you round them all at ONCE.

And the Titans do not run the West Coast offense that is so "sexy" to so many fair weather fans. You can bet that first and second down are pretty much going to be run plays for them, and pass on third down unless VY sees an open lane, then it's off to the races. So... VY's passer rating is NEVER going to be great, and he's never going to put up numbers like Manning or Brady in the Tennessee offense. Get schooled.

Throwing more INT's than TD's in BOTH seasons is the problem of the QB, not the Receivers. The Titans need a QB. What makes you so sure that Vince Young is the only QB to keep the Titans going?

-- Well if you can't throw, then your team is one dimensional already to start out the game. Then the opposing defensive coordinator is going to know this and shut down the run. When the run is shut down you will need to resort to the pass which is not good for the Titans at the moment. So then that offense is not going to move very much. To be honest if Vince Young was doing about the same as Kerry Collins then there is a problem with your starter. The QB needs to be able to throw the ball well enough to guide his team.

He threw for more than 300 yards against DENVER last year, and everybody STILL hammered him. So, no, the Titans are not one-dimensional at all. They are not the PATRIOTS, mind you, but... hey, THEY are one-dimensional, too, then because THEY don't have a RUNNING game.

And the Titans RAN for 300 yards against Jacksonville last year.

AND they made the playoffs.

What more do you want? They had just as much a shot at being in the Super Bowl as anyone else did. Especially CLEVELAND. Hoo Rah.

I meant MORE of a chance than Cleveland. Yeah - the Titans sucked so bad last year they MADE THE **** PLAYOFFS! How does that happen? And Vince Young is not doing "about the same" as Kerry Collins. Collins can't avoid sacks like VY, so that alone puts him ahead of Collins.

What are you people smoking? You are obviously ignorant of the AFC South. Live it. Learn it. Love it.

And whoever said Houston would "edge out" Tennessee.... HA Not with Ahman Green and Chris "Mr. Fumble-itis" Brown at RB. And they lost Mathis. And Johnson is hurt. And Schaub is no better than Grossman right now. I don't see it happening. They will beat a lot of folks this year, yes. They will surprise some folks, yes. And maybe they'll even split the 2 games they play Tennessee - but I don't see their defense being better than ours at all, and I don't think they have played SERIOUS football for 16 games. I think they will tire out at about week 12 and go kaput.

ANd Houston does NOT have a better "core" of players. Puh-lease.

VY, Crumpler, Scaife, White, Gage, Hall, Mawae, Stewart, ROOOOOooooos.... Vanden Bosch, Haynesworth, Kearse, Finnegan, Harper, Thornton, Bulluck, Hope, Griffin...

Get real. Pay attention please. Take the Patriot/Colt-colored BLINDERS off of your damn face and pay the **** attention.

And the Titans went 4-2 in the AFC South last year and the MIGHT JAGUARS went 2-4. Titans also went 3-1 in non-division, and the MIGHTY JAGS went 2-2.

Pay attention. Take some notes. Don't be a dumb ****.

Ooops. I meant the MIGHTY CHARGERS went 2-2 in non-division games.

Which means their OWN division is WEAK, and if they were in the AFC South getting beat up for six games a year, they would never survive. We'd be seeing LT having a nervous-crybaby breakdown because the Titans D STUFFED HIS PATHETIC WHINEY ****.
