Official Texans @ Titans Game Thread, 12/27/2015

Hasselbeck shaken up, Whitehurst in the game for the Colts.

This Titans organization is so bad. Watching the product they put on the field makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about McNair and Smith. They really don't have a single positive in their whole franchise. We are playing our 4th and 5th QBs in a 2 QB system you'd see for a HS team, and we are just killing them in Nashville.

I think the entire AFC South makes the argument for contraction in the NFL. Don't move two teams to LA, just get rid of half a dozen franchises. I don't think anyone would notice.

[WMH]

That Hal kid is really playing pretty well. He's a 2nd year guy, right?

Believe so. Started as a corner but now playing mostly safety...

There are several cities that have no business with an NFL franchise. Two of them are in our division. I bet Indy would be a strong candidate for a third had they not lucked into a top five all time QB.

In my opinion LA is another place that has no business having an NFL team, much less the two or three they may have in the immediate future.

There is no way the people of Nashville and Jacksonville would be heartbroken if they watched the game of the week instead of the home team they are force fed. In Nashville they spend Sunday focused on how the Vols game went on Saturday. The Titans are an afterthought. Jacksonville is just a pointless backwater when compared to the rest of the NFL cities.

The entire AFC South has TWO pro bowl players (Hopkins and Watt). There is a pathetic lack of talent, and probably 4 of the worst 10 Coach/GM/Owner combos in the entire league.

But I can still be excited about a division title. At least I'm not a Titans/Jags fan.

I keep wondering what any of these clowns would have looked like with a healthy Arian all year.

[barrett]

If Mettenberger played 10 years ago when you could hit guys in the head, there would have been fatalities.
