Where is the comment about how Kerry Collins is one of the worst QBs in the league?

22-35, 244 yards, 1 pick, 1 touchdown is not bad.

I think he did a great job of keeping us in the game. Our downfall was a bad kicking game by Bironas, a tiring defense in the second half, Scaife's injury, and a few dropped balls.

I think Collins did a great job last night; he looked much better (in my opinion) than he did at times last year.

Ummm, no not really.

240 some yards, 1 TD and 1 pick against the top defense in the NFL? That isn't too bad at all. Additionally, although the pick wasn't a great throw, Troy is one of the only guys in the league who would catch that, against most teams, thats not a pick at all.

As a Titans fan I will take Kerry almost any day of the week as to what we have had in recent years in regard to the passing game.....

You can honestly say with a 10-7 lead you were not nervous? I bet the Steelers last night and at no time was I worried that the Titans would sustain a drive and score again.

I was much more nervous with our pass defense.

I felt if we had won the toss in OT we had a good chance to win the game. But, our defense could not stop Big Ben when it counted.

I was amazed with a minute left in the game they thought it was a great idea to sit on the ball and play for OT. One minute and 1 time out, I would have tried to move the ball down field, you turn it over you turn it over....you control your own destiny versus the never seeing the ball in OT.

Are you serious? They were on the 4 yard line. It was better to play it safe.

 

[ffgameman]

Not the best thing to go for a 80-90 yard drive starting on your own 4 yard line, especially against one of the best defenses in the league..

I totally agreed with that move. The last thing you want to do is start chucking the ball around with a minute left and the Steelers D and wind up giving them an easy field goal.

There have been many games where Collins deserved to get a great deal of flack. Last night's game was not one at all, not many quarterbacks perform that well against the Steelers.

Ask Tony Romo what he thinks about trying to move the ball downfield against the Steelers with under 2 minutes left!!!

Even my girlfriend commented that "Wow, the Tennessee QB is pretty good." Collins played as well as you could ever expect him to yesterday.
The one thing I took away from that game was that the Titans are a good team, not a great team. Too many chances to lock that game up (2 missed FGs, little plays like Kenny Britt not touching Polamalu down after the 1 handed INT) and failed. They gave the Steelers about 10 extra lives, and the Steelers are too good to not take advantage. It reminded me a lot of watching the early 2000s (01-04) Pats/Colts games. The Pats always came through when it counted; the Colts didn't. Just watching Tennessee, I expect them to have a great regular season and bow out early again. Some of those third and long calls on defense only rushing 3 men were inexplicably stupid.

If Tony Romo had a defense as good as Pittsburgh's behind him (sorry to knock my Boys D), he wouldn't even be in the position that he would have to. He can be a good enough QB the whole game to easily outscore the oppenent, not have to do it when the opposing defense is worn down.

I didn't get the part about LenDale's patrons he was supposed to have left behind. I figured Snoop was there because he's a Steelers fan. Am I missing something?
