Yeah, I don't know where I got Kitna from... I fixed it.

Here’s a fun fact, Kitna would rank 1st and 2nd in Bears history for passing yards in a season.

It’s pretty amazing that Tennessee can lead the NFL in fewest yards allowed and still be 1-5.

the Titans top three corners to start the year were out in week seven. Jamal Adams has since been cut because he quit on the team, Chidobe Awuzie is on IR and can’t return until next week, and L’Jarius Sneed didn’t practice at all last week. Their linebacking corps is good not great to start with.

The run game will be tested because that defensive front is good. But ASB will be a man going up against boys in their secondary.

I feel good about this game either way but I'd feel even better if I knew Levis was starting. BB and Kerby would have a field day with some of the dumb decisions and throws he makes.

It's the Lions at Titans game from 2012 that had the crazy 4th qtr where 46 points where scored. Stafford was our QB. Watching these highlights I'm amazed at how bad our defense was then and how... I guess slow is the right word... how slow our offense looked.

That was a typical SOL team. Recover an onside kick with less than 20 seconds left and then score a TD. I'm just surprised we kicked the XP to tie it. Go for 2 and win it! 😆

Well, we did go for it on 4th and inches in OT from the 7 yard line instead of kicking the FG to tie it. Now that's sorta understandable in that you SHOULD be able to make that and then you have 3 chances to win the game with a TD and still are able to kick the FG to tie it (that would give the Titans the chance to win via sudden death). So it seems like that's the right move. But this was still the SOL, not the BNL, so even though a team SHOULD be able to make 4th and inches, we fumbled the snap and didn't get it.

Did Stafford get hurt in that game? Shaun Hill almost won the game for us. And Megatron was a beast!!

I think he did yeah. At first I thought they just put Hill in there because they were getting blown out so bad, but then they would have gone back to Stafford later on and didn't. Then late in the "highlights" I think I heard one of the announcers say that Stafford got hurt.

He went down twice during the game against the Vikings. Hope an illness is not related to those on the field injuries, that sounds dangerous.

[Shinzaki]

Play the Titans..don't let Landry leave with them

Yeah if it was the flu I don’t think Campbell would be ruling him out like he seems to be. So you may be on to something.

What is the deal with these Illnesses? Mahogany has had an illness since traing camp and may be on IR for the year. 

[Jason_R]

I thought Mahogany got mono in the offseason but had been cleared for practice. He is listed as full practice on this week’s injury report. 

[Sports_Freak]

Tennessee has a decent defense? Lions favored by 11?

It’s absolutely none of our business, but that article could not have been any more vague.

Though I suppose a doctor with those few details could tell the likely issue. Hope he’s alright.

[519superfan]

I think we win in an ugly game.

21-13 something like that.

Whatever just take the win and move on.

He had melanoma in college. Did he have a new pre-cancerous lesion removed? That's pure speculation on my part, but it could explain things.
