Man oh man

This is a very physical game. It's pretty ugly. Heck, even Dan Dierdorf wondered if they were all in a bad mood. LOL I'd have to say yes at this point. Helmets are flying all over the place. Even L.T. got a personal foul penalty. Both starting QBs have gone down already. They both went down on run plays that they really had nothing to do with. Like I said.........ugly. Right now the score is tied in the 3rd quarter at 3. It's fun, but dang I worry about all the players involved. LOL

I'd say that even the fans are in a bad mood. I've never heard so much booing from them. They boo when we throw. They boo when we run. They boo every hit by the other team like it is an illegal hit. I'm not sure what exactly it is that they want today. LOL

Oh wow. We just had a major no call. Someone threw a horse collar tackle on Chris Brown when he went in for the TD. Score now is 10-3 Titans.

Dan Dierdorf: "Oh my gosh, it's Vanden Bosch again." LOL It does seem that #93 is all over Rivers today.

Damn, tied with 9 seconds left. Looks like overtime. I hate overtime. *sigh*

Yep going to overtime and the fans are booing again. They really need to stop that. The team really needs them at the 12th man now.

Damn. I really do hate overtime. L.T. goes in for the winning TD. 23-17 *sigh*

Who would have ever thought that one person could make such a big difference?

It just doesn't make sense. How could one person being out of the lineup make such a huge difference in the performance of the whole? Since Haynesworth has been injured our defense has absolutely sucked. We can't stop the run. We can't stop the pass. We can't stop anything or anybody. This is really really bad. When is Haynesworth going to be healthy enough to come back? Does anybody know?

Our offense can't seem to get things going either. The last couple games it's been a lot of dropped balls. It's been like watching last year's Georgia Bulldog team with all the dropped passes. It's very frustrating. I know these guys are good or they wouldn't be in the NFL, but come on. Catch the damn ball.

The game today is just plain sad/bad/ugly/pitiful. I won't even go into the penalties. Ugh!!!

We suck.

That is all.

Well that sucks!

Makes me sad at the same time. Seems that Marcus Stroud may be facing a 4 game suspension for violating the NFL's steroid policy. He failed the first test, but has requested that a second test be done. He isn't commenting much on the situation and neither is the Jags coach nor the NFL. I just hope that this second test comes back negative and all is well. I would hate to see one of my UGA boys fall to stuff like that.

I'll update when I find more information.

They are killing me!!

My Titans. They are driving me nuts. They cannot get into the end zone for anything. They have made 6 (at the moment) field goals and only 1 touchdown today. The 6 field goals are a franchise record. The NFL record is 7. We are on track to break that one. Our defense is playing really well again, but our offense is really really bad. Okay, not horrible, but not really good either. If it wasn't for our defense we would not be winning many games. *sigh*

As I type this we did get into the end zone for the 2nd time today. Chris Henry got his 1st NFL touchdown. Good for him.

ETA: Our defense is starting to not play so well. *sigh*

ETA (again): "Wow what a game!" says the announcer. Ummm, yeah! We barely pulled it out with a Bironas field goal (yeah he broke the NFL record for number of field goals in a game with 8) with 4 seconds left. Good for him, but dang!! That is just crazy. We need to be getting in the end zone. It's embarrassing if you really want to think about it.

Mr. Monday Night

Okay so I know that I am taking entirely too long to blog about my favorite football teams this week. I'll try to do better next week. ;-)

Anyway, how 'bout that Keith Bullock? Mr. Monday Night no doubt. He had 3 interceptions. What fun to watch. He also had 4 tackles. Not a bad night, huh? LOL

We had 4 interceptions on the night with one going all the way back for a touchdown. VY spread the ball around pretty well. He threw to 7 different receivers for 164 yards. His passing yards may not look all that great, but I'm happy with it. It means that the running game is working for us at the moment.

I do love to watch VY play. Unlike a couple other mobile QBs he doesn't run at the first sign of trouble. He gives his receivers a little time to get open and lets the play develop. He scans the field and if there isn't a play or his protection starts to break down then he takes off. He's still scanning the field until he reaches the line of scrimmage. If there is a pass play to be found he will go for that. I like that. He understands that this is a team sport and he can't do it on his own. I've heard several announcers say that he wants to be a quarterback first and a runner last. You definitely see that on the field. He is going to be one of the great ones and I am so looking forward to watching him for years to come.

Oh yeah, if you didn't already know.................Titans win 31-14. ;-)

Well, that sucked

Actually that's not entirely true. It sucks that we lost, but we played the Colts close and we never let the game get away from us. Losing by 2 to the Colts is not that horrible. Plus, we had a chance in the end. I kinda think they should have let Bironas try it right there at the end. You never know. LOL I think we would have had a better chance of that than getting that first down.

It's not a win, but it shows a vast improvement in our team and that we can play with the best and hold our own. Nothing to be embarrassed about in that.

Oh please! (rolling my eyes here)

How many times is he going to try to come back? It seems that once again Ricky Williams wants to be reinstated into the NFL. Anybody else rolling their eyes? If he does get reinstated, who is going to want him? I certainly wouldn't, but who am I? LOL There are a couple other players in the league that I wouldn't want on my team either, but those in charge don't feel the same way. *sigh*

This ticks me off!

I cannot believe (okay, maybe I can, but just don't want to) that the Patriots were cheating! They were video taping defensive signals by the Jets. WTF?! They are supposed to be one of the elite teams in the NFL. Well now I don't think so. Makes me ask how long have they been doing this? How many teams have they spied on? I know it isn't the first time they have been accused of it.

The NFL is also looking into the number of radio frequencies they used during the game. So there is a possibility that they were not only taping the signals, but listening in on the Jets too? That is crazy! It defiles the integrity of the game. It pisses me off! I love this game and to think that a team is blatantly cheating just................well pisses me off!

Commissioner Roger Goodell is talking about serious sanctions. What is being mentioned is taking away several draft picks. That isn't severe enough if you ask me. How about forfeiting their win on Sunday?

I do realize that the possibility exists that they are not the only ones doing it and that really bothers me. I hope that they are the only ones. I'd like to believe in the sport I love and the men who play and coach it.

How much would I love this?!

It's been reported that David Greene (you know, former UGA quarterback and winningest college football QB) is scheduled to work out for the Titans. Now don't get me wrong. I absolutely love VY, but I'd love to have Greene as a backup. He is good. Very good. His agent is saying he is certain to be on someone's practice squad. I don't think that his horrible. Heck, get in the program and learn the system. Get better and move on up. I'm not sure why he didn't make it in Seattle. Maybe he didn't get enough of an opportunity to show what he could do. He played very little in any preseason and not one snap in the regular season. Wherever he goes I hope someone gives him an opportunity. He is too good to not be playing somewhere in the NFL.

NFL kicks off regular season tonight

WOOHOO! I love football!!! Bet you didn't know that about me! ;-)

Tonight it's Colts and Saints. Have to say that I'm pulling for the Saints in this one. NOT a Colts fan and not just because a former UT QB is their QB. Although that does play a part. LOL

I have to say, though that I don't like Thursday night games. Believe it or not I do watch other things on t.v. Thursday nights one of my favorite shows comes on. Well, actually two. I love CSI and Men In Trees. When the new season starts I'm going to have a hard time. I'll be flipping back and forth a lot. *sigh*
