Well, there you have it. The Titans drop a game.
Not only that, but it looks like the Rustmeister prediction oracle went on the fritz as well. Best I can go is 8-8 if my prediction for tonight's game pans out. Geez.
Back to the Titans, I have to say we looked bad. Part of that was Favre looked so good*. We managed to pick and sack him early, but that quick passing game caught us flat-footed and wore us out.
Speaking of passing games ...
What. The. Hell.
Who turned on the wayback machine and took our WRs to last season? They couldn't catch a cold out there. Where was our running game? LenDale (I'll get to his comments in a minute) was not out on the field at all. I heard he might have been dinged up, but still, playing hurt is something that happens in the NFL.
Now, to LenDale's comments on how he "didn't care". What is his problem? Has he got Vince Young-itis now? I know getting beat sucks, especially looking as bad as we did yesterday, but come on.
If this is something creeping into the locker room, it needs to be stomped out, pronto. Last thing we need is a bunch of weenie-whiney poo-butts crying about their hurt feelings.
Ok, so the Titans were handed their assess yesterday. Big deal. No one really thought we were going to go undefeated. Here's a couple things I agree with:The Titans are better off having finally lost a game:
I know it's not a popular mindset right now, particularly in the Tennessee locker room, but in time I believe it will serve the Titans' purposes better to have missed out on the hype-fest that would have continued to build if their undefeated season had stayed intact.And, from the same article, this:
"We got embarrassed at home,'' Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck said. "It's time for us to turn the heat up. A lot of these teams are in playoff mode, and we were sitting there at 10-0. Now it's time for us to really put our game face on, and get back to the ball that we were playing in the first five, six and seven games of the season.''They've been saying all season that they haven't put a complete game together. It always seemed that one part of the team would rise to cover the weakness of another part.
Yesterday, no one rose.
* You have no idea how hard it was to write that. Let's just say, a world-class bender is in order.

I hated to see the Titans go down at all, but the worst part was to lose at home to Brett freakin' Favre. I'm so tired of hearing about that guy that I could vomit, and now this.
The Jets offense exposed what's been the real defensive weakness all season long -- an overrated secondary. The corners are not that good in coverage; they've just been exploiting quarterback mistakes generated by the killer defensive line.
No solid defensive capability was on display yesterday, and playing offense like it was 2007 clearly didn't get the job done, either. It doesn't matter if the guy taking snaps is hitting folks right in the numbers if they're not going to hold on to the ball when it arrives.
Nevertheless, despite this week's crappy play, I think it's going to suck to be the Lions come Thursday. I'd hate to line up on the other side of a Titans defense that just got embarrassed.
My thoughts, exactly.
