Titans whip Ravens in home opener, 26-13

Yes we did whip the Ravens! But it was a surprise to all, especially to me.

9/11 Remembrance at Halftime

Tit-ans Tee Weather

Just about every Titans fan who came to this home opener wondered how in the hell we were going to perform against a team that beat the (turns out, overly-) vaunted  Pittsburgh (PissBeUponYellowTowels!) Steelers, after losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend in the awful Jags stadium; a place that's half-wrapped in tarpaulins, many seats are mothballed because they can't sell the damned place out. It has a permanent for-sale sign out front...how much longer before they move to Los Angeles I wonder? No wonder we lost last weekend; how can a team get interested in playing when they're playing in a half-dead venue?

#5 (inch) Joe (Flaccid) Flacco

So, Ravens Quarterback Joe (Flaccid) Flacco brings his non-performing self to LP Field, and proved that even Viagra can't help if you're a weenie with a wobbly throw.

Ray Lewis was mentioned only once, and spent his sideline time mainlining formaldehyde to try to keep rigor mortis from setting in. He's done, Ravens staff, please let him go.

In all, this was a good home opening win for Coach Munchak, our Hall-of-Fame coach who proved he was no Jeff Fisher, by taking it to the Ravens in the 3rd and 4th quarters, when Fish might've slacked off and tried to milk a lead for just enough time by running the clock. Fisher lost a few dozen games doing that, trying to just squeak by. Looks like Munch won't have that nonsense. If there's points to be had, go for 'em, put 'em on the board.

Someone's grownup stepchild?

Great work, if I do say so myself.

Next, the Broncos, with Orton behind center and Tim Tebow playing, what, defensive end next weekend? Who knows.

Bring 'em.

Hasselbeck: finally, an adult at quarterback.
