And so the season fades away, with a wimpy whimper from uninspired players.
I've never seen a more dismal bunch of players on the field, ever. This game was mailed in; these players had anything on their minds other than playing football in near-freezing temperatures.
Why is there no Titans 'team spirit', no player-excitement on the field? I'll tell you why.
These guys are leaderless. There's no team leader on offense; there's no sparkplug on the defense. Sorry, Kerry Collins, but you're uninspiring, and can't motivate. And on defense, where's our Ray Lewis?
This game was a joke. Yes, there was much booing from what fans were there.
Now they sit at 5-7, with Indianapolis coming in Thursday night (a beaten-down Colts squad, but that doesn't matter; Jacksonville is likely winning the AFC South). We've four games left: two with the Colts, one against Houston, and one at Kansas City. I don't see how we can win any of them, unless we have a major change of attitude, coming from...whom?
I know it, I should be so "Gloom, despair and agony on me!". Didn't help that I froze my arse off, and sat close enough to feel the uninspired radiating from the team.
Sigh. Some pics...

| Maurice Jones-Drew is one slippery midget. |
Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a career-best 186 yards against the Titans' once-vaunted D. The Titans obviously made vacation plans early; they certainly weren't into stopping this guy.

| Rashad Jennings ran in a TD |
Second-string running back Rashad Jennings ran in a TD whilst the Titans looked on in bewilderment.
Even QB David Gerrard (although not really 300 pounds; that was prior Jacksonville QB Byron Leftwich. But he's still a load nonetheless) ran right by the Titans D for a TD.

Can't blame Rusty Smith for this one. Or Randy Moss.
I don't see Jeff Fisher in any of these pictures. Why is that I wonder ?
