Ugh, what a crappy weekend football wise. UT gets stomped by Auburn, exposing a very weak secondary for the Vols, as well as the inexperience of the two starting freshmen QB's. Next weekend the Vols got to Georgia to play the undefeated Bulldogs, who are better and more experienced than Auburn, UT will make or break their season on this game. They win, and they can still challenge for the SEC title, they lose, and it's play for a decent bowl game, and work on getting some corners for next year.
And for my beloved Titans, here is how we can sum up the dismal performance against the very ordinary San Diego Chargers, who thumped the Titans 38-17 on Sunday.
Keith Bulluck, the Titans all-linebacker had an article in Sundays Tennessean stating that no one is "pressing the panic button" in Titansland quite yet. Well Keith, I'm here to tell you, it's been pressed. The loss at home to Indy hurt, but we were in that game. We NEVER should have loss to Jacksonville, we pretty much handed them that one. But San Diego? The Titans were barely even in this game, as Ladanian Tomlinson exposed our defense multiple ways, which allowed Dru Brees to look like Joe Montana for the day. Billy Volek actually played damn well in place of Steve McNair, so I can't blame that. The bottom line is the Titans have gone from a Super-Bowl contender to a lucky-to-make-the-playoffs team in three weeks. And to make things even more interesting, the next game is a Monday Night game at Green Bay, who also lost this weekend.
From growing up in Boston, I learned to never jump ship on the team you back, and if they go down, you go down with them. I will continue this tradition with the Titans. I have too much respect for the players on this team to simply abandom them because they are playing lousy football right now. You can't say that they are out of it this early in the season, but unless there is a miraculous turn-around next week, we will be lucky to go 8-8 this year....what a bummer....
