Not to say that the Ravens necessarily WOULD beat them, simply that they could. As could a few other teams.

Lots of time left in the season as we aren't even half over. This is a very good team. A very physical team. But they hardly look invincible.
You've been watching too much ESPN. Collins is a solid quarterback and fits the Titans needs perfectly at that position. He's also been to the Super Bowl.

Flacco is a rookie. Things don't get better for a rookie on a team like the Ravens. Their next 3 games are on the road and the rest of the schedule is brutal.

The only team in the AFC that has a shot at Tennessee this year is a healthy Colts team. In the NFL season predictions thread I said they wouldn't make the playoffs. The next 5 weeks are crucial for them. If they go 3-2 there is a very good chance they can win the final 4 games...IF the Titans have home field clinched, which is a good possibility.

It would help them to have things locked up before those final two games. Otherwise, every game is winnable before that.

The Titans remind me of Curlin or BB this year..a very good team catching the conference in a down year.

Collins is a statue that is throwing to a group of below average receivers that can't get down the field. Its not hard to defend teams like these.

The titans were life and death to beat the ravens and that was just Flacco's fourth start.

The titans will lose AT LEAST 4 games from here out.

That is completely untrue. Completely.

Besides, you fail to mention special teams.

Wow.

You do realize the Steelers are an infirmary right now? Roethlisberger has been sacked 23 times already and you're expecting him to be healthy in the middle of December?

I realize that. It will be tough and playing in baltimore the week before won't help.

I think the steelers match up with them extremely well.

I think the Steelers are a year away from firing their coach.
