I'm just thinking ... as the game is about to kick off tonight..
Why exactly are the Tennessee Titans a legit contender and we are a joke when someone picks us for the playoffs?
What do they have a QB? at WR? Is there defensive players better than ours?
Is it a coach thing? An organization thing?
When I look at their roster, then at ours, I just am puzzled...

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.

Everyone knows that the Cowboys are going to sweep the NFC so there's no need discussing it.

Personally I don't care that we don't get hyped up or anything like that. The last tine that happened (when Saunders came) we went 6-10.

I guess I could have worded my post differently. but what I'm asking is for real, not sarcastic...
What separates the Titans from us?
Is it talent?? I don't see how they have more talent....
I'm thinking it's that they play defense & can run... proves QBs need to just manage games (K. Collins) & you don't need good receivers )J. Gage #1 receiver) to win...
but then I think, that sounds like us... so what the hell!!?!? lol

I think its because we havnt done anything lately to put us on the radar...We are under the radar! We will not be predicted to win until we show the masses the we are contenders. We tend to see the Skins through rose colored glasses..even the most jaded skins fans still believe that our day is just around the corner.....Most non-skin fans see JC and Snyder (and a few others) as people that will keep us from being competitive. Talking to non-skin fans, I get the impression that other NFL fans view the Skins as if they are not even in the same league as the rest of the teams. We are not even consisdered among other fans as potential contenders...we are not even on the map. We only exist in our own minds...Take a look at other message boards...We are thought of in the same light as the Lions, Bengals etc...Skins fans suffer from the same delusion as our front office....Our front office including management are looking through the same rose colored glasses that us fans are...However the rest of the world looks through different lenses and they do not see what we see..so until we prove to the world that we are any different...get used to being viewed as NON-CONTENDERS

Organizationally, the Titans are much, much stronger than us.
Under Floyd Reese though, they weren't much better than we are now under Cerrato. Mike Reinfelt took over and he's been able to stay on the same page as Jeff Fisher and the results have been impressive.
With that said, our roster is stronger than their roster this year.

Those are Burgandy colored glasses my friend!
The difference is Jeff Fisher has proved that he is a top notch coach. Their trip to the big dance a couple years ago bears that out. They will continue to be respected, all because Fisher knows how to coach, and the organization has .......... well, some organization.
The Burgandy and Gold have an 8-8 2nd year HC.
