Question: Why are Titans a "Super Bowl Contender" while we are laughing stock?

The Titans are for real. They were 13-3 for one thing. They were one of the few teams that really abused the Steelers last year.

Their two running backs, Chris Johnson and Lendale White combined for over 2000 rushing yards, Kerry Collins was a Pro Bowler, and they have a really talented O-line which also sent two players to the Pro Bowl. They had the #7 overall defense, 2nd in the league in scoring allowed, 5th in the league in sacks, and a plus 14 turnover ratio. On top of all that, Jeff Fisher is a world class head coach.

Right now, they're way ahead of us as an organization.

I believe it may be because we play in the NFC Beast? I'm not saying the AFC South is a cakewalk, but the Colts are no longer invincible, the Jags have been up and down, and the Texans, while I loves me some Andre Johnson on fantasy football, aren't really a legit challenger for anything right now.

Personally, I'm not really on board with the whole NFC "Beast" thing. Dallas is very suspect, and we're just mediocre right now. Philly could make a case for themselves, and the Giants are right there with them, but have some flaws here and there.

I actually think the NFC North might be the best division. Chicago, Minnesota and Green Bay are better than the top three in our division.

cowboys sweep? what are you smoking? we are better than the giants.

it will prob. end up like this
Iggles
REDSKINS!
New Jersey Gnats
DallASS Cowgirls/homos

And what have this teams done lately? Any of those against the NFC teams would lose right now.

That's my projection for the NFC North this year, for what it's worth. Minnesota has been knocking on the door for a couple of years now, and Favre just might take them to the next level. In Chicago, Cutler makes them much better. Green Bay should be improved.

For all the talk of the NFC "Beast", we were ultimately tied with the AFC East and South in total wins, and the NFC South had the most wins with 40.

I just don't think the Cowboys and Giants will be as good this year.

I know we all love to think we have the best, toughest division. It wasn't true last year, and I don't see how it's going to be true this year either.

Don't know about that. The AFC is always the favorite to win the Super Bowl and the Titans man-handled the Steelers last year. The Skins are lucky to be in the NFC, regardless of how tough the NFC East is.

Coaching and line play. Any team that can protect their QB, open holes for the running game and get to the other team's QB is good team. Flashy RBs, WRs, CBs, etc. aren't necessary to win. Look at who the Pats had at WR and RB when they won their 3 titles, and the Steelers WRs are good, but they aren't Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Larry Fitz, Boldin, Wayne, Jennings, etc. And they got by with their #3RB last year.

By the way, the Raiders are a a laughing stock...we're miles from that.

Except when there's wild speculation on a ridiculous free agent signing. Then, it's always Dan Snyder and Al Davis who come up.

One more thing. The Titans draft players like Haynesworth while we pay through the nose for them. They got equal or better production from Haynesworth than we will get from him for a fraction of the price.

Excellent point.
