They might as well keep Brady out of the rest of the game, no sense in risking injury when it is all over anyway.

Wow......5 TDs in Q2, in bad weather?

My favorite team....is the Titans. Enough said haha

It has been a rough season for me :-( LUCKILY, I am a big Texas Longhorns fan - SO, I have that one thing going for me :-)

Brady tied a career high with six touchdown passes.

Brady completed 29 of 34 passes for 380 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions.

Brady set an NFL record with five touchdown passes in one quarter.

The 35 points in the second quarter set a Patriots record for points in a quarter.

The 45-point first half surpassed the team record for scoring in a half (42 against Miami in 2007).

The Patriots' 45-point lead at intermission was the largest halftime lead in NFL history, surpassing the previous mark of 42 when the Packers led the Buccaneers, 49-7, on Oct. 2, 1983.

When Brian Hoyer scored on a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, the Patriots set a franchise scoring record with 59 points.

Should have been 61 points -- they had Vince Young nailed in the endzone!

Not my comment but eloquently puts things into perspective:

"I think this is Gods way of letting the Titans know they should not be wearing those uniforms"

Amen.

Media frenzy in Nashville with the bye week. I hate it for Jeff Fisher and I'm not even a fan of the Titans. A lot of folks calling for his head.

On another note a lot of people are saying the reason for the terrible season is because of the Oiler throwbacks. ha ha

God bless those Pats!!

I wish every team could cover spreads like that!

Just watched the press conference from Nashville. I love some of the questions people come up with. I guess some people genuinely think a professional organization can go without feeling bad after a beating like yesterday.

Kdog08 · October 19, 2009 5:26AM

And every single Titan player will still get that Paycheck this week! Pathetic!!!!

Morgoth · October 19, 2009 6:18AM

Yeah the Titan blogs are just full of misery and hate. I can see after my team went 13-3 and then crapped its pants in the playoffs and then followed that up by going 0-6 and losing with style points, why they might be upset.

perkdog · October 19, 2009 6:41AM

Im not sure if Im on an island with this one but count me in as someone who thinks its 80% the players fault NOT Jeff Fisher.

What a bunch of wimps not liking to play in the cold, same thing with AZ last year- I got ZERO respect for players giving up like that.

Agreed. I put this one all over the players. IMHO the Titans are more interested in looking good than playing football. Someone asked Jeff this afternoon if the players were being motivated by the coaching staff. No offense, but getting paid a ton of money to play football should be plenty motivation. Personally I think that Fisher has had better seasons with less talent but that's my opinion.

I was listening to the game on the radio and the announcers were confused about the opening play on defense for the Titans. According to Frank, the Titans played their first defensive snap with 10 players. The player not on the field was huddled "next to a heater". Stuff like that is on the player, not coach. Jeff is a good coach and is a good leader for the players. Anyone on the team acting like a punk does so because of their own choosing, not lack of instruction.

Morgoth · October 19, 2009 10:26AM

I disagree 100%. A coach that allowed a player to do that and not be cut or sat for a few games has lost his team. The team quit on Fisher and doesn't seem to listen to him. Look at Tomlinson and Mendenhall. Guy was late and mouthed off in a tape session and he sat out maybe at the cost of a game but the player got the message.

What has Fisher done besides state there is no problem and that hard work will solve everything?

All coaches eventually reach a point where they can't reach their players anymore and there needs to be new blood brought in. I think it's just Fisher's time. There are tons of good coaches out there right now and Cowher is definately on the table.

Once the ball is snapped, what happens on the field is entirely on the players

Management is entirely responsible for which players are on the field

Both need to do everything they can to ensure training and preperation is maximized, the scoreboard can never tell if one, both or niether failed in those areas

It is a lot easier to replace one head coach than 50 players

I disagree to an extent. Yes, the players should be held accountable for their play on the field. However, it's the coachs' responsibility to have them prepared. Lack of motivation, bad plays, missing their assignments, etc...

Guess it's chicken and the egg but at the end of the day, the coach shoulders most, if not all, of the blame.

You disagree that management needs to ensure preperation is maximized, but it is their responsibility to have them prepared?

The coach has always taken too much of the blame. That doesn't mean every time it happens it is correct

ripkenintheminors · October 20, 2009 4:51AM

The sky is already falling, but I wonder how the media is going to react to Fisher being spotted in a Manning jersey. I don't know if this is legit or not but a friend forwarded the link:

"I just wanted to feel like a winner"

LOL

perkdog · October 20, 2009 5:16AM

Im not quite sure how any coach can keep his ENTIRE team motivated once they take the field and quit, the entire Titans roster quit and made complete fools of themselves. Was Fisher supposed to bench the entire roster? Play all reserves so the score was 100+ to 0?

Why did you take both of our comments out of context and then completely twist my words?

edited to add: guess i should have only quoted "Once the ball is snapped, what happens on the field is entirely on the players"; that's what i was commenting on.

stown · October 20, 2009 8:20AM

So if the O calls for a hail mary and the D calls an all out blitz, the inevitable TD is the players' fault?

I don't think so.

Why do we always choose to answer questions with a question?
