Titans lose AFC divisional playoff game...

...to themselves...again! Titans + horrible ball protection and discipline in NORMAL FREAKING FOOTBALL situations = loss, to anyone!

YOUR WELCOME RAVENS!

too mad to type more...

+++++UPDATE 01.14.09+++++

I still am in rage and feel like punching the wall just about every time I think about this game. The game started out GREAT! We had a great drive and scored with a CJ touchdown. I was excited, they came to play, we were going to shut the months of all the naysayers!

Well long story shot we killed them! But in process killed ourselves. White fumbled inside the Ravens 20 on what what looked to be a promising drive. Then Crumpler fumbled on the Ravens 1 on a great drive that was destine to be a touchdown drive. Collins topped it of with an int. The Ravens didn't turn these turnovers into any points but they didn't need too.

At half time CJ had 100 yards combined but was mysteriously hurt. The play was brutal, Lewis and Suggs were on his legs and Reed came up to grabbed his upper body and bent him back at the hip. Amazingly he wasn't seriously hurt and run for a 10 yard pick up on the next play but came out a few plays later for the game. Interesting article about the play With CJ out and the turnovers and letting the Ravens have a final drive at the very end of the 4th we basically shot ourselves in the foot.

Also the Ravens had the refs in their back pocket and/or the refs favored the Ravens. Joe Flacco, after the Crumpler fumble, proceeded to almost, it was so close, to step out of the endzone on a pass attempted. The CBS announcers said nothing about it and the refs didn't review it. It is now know he didn't but I can't believe nothing was said about it.

Now for the BIG DEAL!

Anything seem odd about these picture? Apparently if your a ref you'll see nothing. But us normal folks can plainly see that the play clock is on freaking ZERO!!! and it was for 1.35 seconds which is when the ball was snapped and the Ravens process to get a 20+ yard pass in to ad their drive for a game winning field goal.

Well we did it again we beat them in ever stat but one, tunrovers! Same outcome of the Titans Ravens game in the 2000 playoffs. Titans were the number 1 seed and the ravens were a wildcard again.
