This is no knock on Tennessee, but SD should be begging Baltimore to win tomorrow. I think Pittsburgh would be an awful matchup for them.

 

The Titans won't be a great matchup either, though. A worse Titans team last year (with Vince at QB and no Chris Johnson) went to SD and led the entire 1st half and was down just 10-6 until a late Charger TD sealed the 11-point win.

 

This year's Titans are much better and the game would be in Nashville. The Chargers scare me, but I think the Titans can win it.

 

The Titans have been overlooked by most, methinks. They "slumped" at the end of the season by losing three of six, but won the only game they had to by 17 points over a 12-4 team. To me, that's far more indicative of the team they are and the team they'll be in the playoffs. Of course, if the Colts had won last night I would be rooting for the Dolphins today (more because the Colts won at Pittsburgh and not Tennessee and duplicating road wins is extremely difficult -- see last night).

 

The Titans have certainly been overlooked much of the year, but when you play the style we do, you expect it.

 

I'm guilty of it too. I thought, and probably still believe, that if the Colts could get by San Diego (and subsequently Pittsburgh, depending on today's outcome) they'd win at Tennessee.

 

As I've said before, the Colts terrify me. I'm worried about most any team that is effective with the deep ball because that's where our defense seems most susceptible. There's no team better at the deep ball than the Colts and Peyton Manning.

 

It would've been an awesome game and perfect case scenario for me. I'd obviously be rooting extremely hard for the Titans, but even if they lost, I could pull for Peyton in the Super Bowl.

I'll be rooting for the Titans out of the AFC at least, I think. They have a number of former Colts that I like and I've always been extremely impressed by Jeff Fischer. Also, I don't like Pittsburgh or San Diego much at all. Good luck from here on out.

I appreciate that. I assume you're talking about Nick Harper, David Thornton and Jake Scott - they've all been fantastic help since coming to Nashville.

 

It's going to be a tough road, but I think this team has as good a shot - if not better - as anybody else.

Yeah. I really miss David Thornton (Polian even said it was a mistake to let him leave and he is loathe to admit mistakes) and this year's team desperately missed Scott. They re-signed Ryan Lilja because he was cheaper -- mainly due to Scott's ability to play both guard and tackle -- but then Lilja got hurt and missed the entire season. Bad luck there; the Colts needed one of those guys, they had neither.

The Titans haven't been big spenders in free agency for a while, but three of the biggest signings we've made were Harper, Thornton and Scott.

 

I don't regret a single one.

Baltimore's defense is worrying me. I knew they were great, but they've been terrific today (helped some by Pennington, though).

 

Hopefully Collins will be on his best game Saturday.

This is completely off topic but I just this was an eye popping stat. The Patriots went 27-5 over the last 2 seasons, and only made the playoffs in one of the two seasons. That's crazy, and probably the best possible record anyone will ever have any only make the playoffs 50% of the time.

Rex Grossman is going to look good in Miami next season.

 

Talk about exactly opposite styles in QBs. Miami would go from a weak-armed, smart game manager to a strong-armed, flaky gunslinger.

 

That'd be interesting to see.
