who cares about Dallas? Dallas means nothing to the Texans...Dallas means something only to Texans fans with an inferiority complex.
the only thing that matters is the Titans and our division. We choked.
and who the hell cares about finishing 2nd. Not me.
Stop acting like this wasn't a horrible loss. It was. I am dealing with it though but I am not going to act like its a big deal or try and act like how Dallas is doing is going to make me feel better. Geez.
Reality check: We aren't finishing first in the South this year. The Colts have it wrapped up unless they lose the rest of their games and we win the rest of ours. As if THAT is going to happen. LOL.
Contrary to your statement/belief/opinion, this was
not a horrible loss because, in the grand scheme of things, we split the series with them. And until we get wise and find a mobile QB, the kind who can do more than stand in a pocket and stumble forward a few steps before being yanked down like a 1st grader out there, then we will continue to take ass kickings from a lot of teams.
I'm down with what we have. It's (drum roll, please...) WHAT WE HAVE. We're stuck with this crap for the rest of the season. Period.
So my thread is not about how mad I am, or sad I am, or how horrible this loss was, or if we can get Bill Cowher to come here (I'm looking at YOU, btw). It's not about anything that can be done this year. This monster is made, and it's what we will trot out until the season's over.
I mentioned the Cowboys because of the people who cry about our record. Well, look at the Cowboys and the Patriots--Both are 7-3 and which one has truly earned the record? Those teams are so far apart. Yet their record is the same. If the playoffs started tomorrow, one team would advance and the other would get their ass kicked very hard.
In conclusion:
1. We will NOT win the AFC South. Nobody needs to get fired for not matching the Colts undefeated record thus far. They have lucked out, too, and it's just the way it goes. Some day, those bounces stop going their way. And some day, they start going the other direction. We just have to endure it until it happens. It isn't THIS year.
2. We should be DAMN glad to finish 2nd and not looking at 2nd as being so pitiful and poor. It's better than the cellar. It's better than two other divisional rivals. It would be great to end up 10-6 or 9-7 and be 2nd in the South for having lost OD and going through "The Great Year of Fumblemania." Throw in the blown games, lost in dumbass ways, and 2nd isn't too freaking shabby at this point.
Steve needed to get through a game without dropping the ball. Now Kris Brown has to go through a game and make all his kicks. I firmly believe that we'll win the next two games. I wouldn't be surprised if our players were largely guilty of looking past the Colts, in anticipation of the MNF game. I think our guys obsessed over it and played two straight games of anxious football.
I'm very tired and need to go to bed now. I am trying to provide a thread where people can come in and talk specifics and not just emote and pour out all the myopic, predictable posts. But I guess there's going to always be a few people who come in with a sledge-hammer and TNT just looking for a job to do. Thank you for reminding me.
