    Did you guys notice that Tenny came out beaten at the start of the 2nd half, they looked whupped....

    To me, it looked like they had given up...and I thought Munchak would have not let that happen.

    i think after their first failed drive in the 3rd followed by the texans 7 play, 92 yard TD drive pretty much demoralized them.

    There's nothing to talk about after we've all high fived and rejoiced.

    Hooray!

    I will ask this....is Chris Johnson washed up? Week 7, and he's still under 3 ypc and under 45 ypg. YIKES. Foster had his hamstring issue, missed a couple games, and still has 150 more yards than him....so the "rust" excuse can't hold water at this point, can it? He even had the bye to work with.

    I think it is more he don't care.
    I think he . . strangely .. maybe sour behind the negotiations.
    The Boos are not helping. They might need to see what they
    can get for him next year.

    I think Chris Johnson's frame at 195 pounds has taken a beating in 3 to 4 short seasons and he is gun shy about getting hit by a 260 pound Cushing or whoever...He prolly doesn't have 4.2 speed anymore-more like 4.4,... heck Tate looked faster, and CJ can't match the vision, cuts and agility of Foster at this time...Nothing was more annoying than Chris Collingsworth gushing about him last year, and now titan fans only hope he opened a can of quit otherwise..yikes..I think deep down he is sore in the ribs, lost a step, and I'm fine with that...

    He's having trouble dragging that big contract up and down the field.

    Because I've seen the hit I think you're talking about and it wasn't that bad. It wasn't like bledsoe getting popped as he was headed towards the sidelines. I think eddie george slowing down had more to do with him turning 28,29 and 30. he still managed a couple of 1000 yards seasons*


    *even if it was averaging .00008 yards per carry.

    The crowd was booing the home team before halftime.

    maybe Bud should move his team to where they will love him unconditionally

    awesome.

    first he should demand that they remodel half of Ryman Auditorium, then sit around and pout for a few years, then move anyway.

    Please... first of all, it cant be just Lanier's fault.

    Secondly, imagine if Bud got what he wanted. He builds the Bud-Dome downtown (with or without the Rockets), at the full expense of Houston residents taxpayers.

    Now, 15 years ago is before the time of retractable roofs football stadiums, or even HD technology. You'd basically be getting the ALAMADOME... which is now an eyesore in San Antonio.

    Now, Bud sees new retractable roof palaces opening in Phoenix AND worst of all Dallas, and he's going to start getting antsy. Same thing is going on right now in St. Louis (where they built their eyesore dome in the 90's, and now the team is floundering financially). He wants to host a Super Bowl too! (which was never guaranteed to the Bud Dome). Oh, btw, the novelty of the Bud Dome has long worn out for the "what have you done for me lately" Houston fans, and they are back to having to have Randalls buy blocks of tickets to avoid local blackouts, and everybody is still down on one of the most underachieving franchises in the history of the NFL.

    Bud likely does what he's already done TWICE before, and starts to pout about nicer amenities... and oh look... Los Angeles is now possibly building a retractable roof stadium, and they need a suitor.

    My point is that Bud started this war long before Lanier was mayor... and there's no guarantees that the Bud Dome would have made him happy eternally. In fact, I think it would have the potential to just cause another threatened move 15 years later.

    Nope, I think Titan Rick did call in this morning but if was proven by Matt Jackson via twitter that it was an impostor.

    It was quiet in general on sports radio today and this morning and afternoon.

    Jacksonville's defense isn't forcing the Ravens OC to call pass play after pass play. Though the holding calls could be contributed to the D.

    Ray Rice with 3 first half rushes?? Seriously?? It's so frustrating seeing teams that should be slaughtering your division rivals OutKubiaking themselves.

    I think maybe he was being punished for fumbling. He went 23 minutes of game time between his fumble and his next carry. Meanwhile Ricky Williams got 3 carries and even Vonta got one as well.

    Didn't know Ray Rice was a fumbler. But nice knowing the coach made a point to Rice while costing his team a dang good chance at a win. He isn't some rookie or free agent pick up trying to make the team. He's a pro bowl running back who is easily the team's best offensive player.


    Yes, still ticked off that the Ravens gave the Jags something to build on for next week.

    Edit: Just saw the stat that it was Rice's first fumble in 500+ touches. That's insane for the coach to do anything to even begin to reprimand him. Flacco may have sucked, but this one is also on the OC and HC.
