I don't think that loss, or any loss, would faze Starpopper. -g- Yeah, the Titans are a team you really have to beat to beat, so to speak. They got outgained in yardage by a solid margin, yet had the game well under control. They are really mentally tough, to use a clich&#233. I still think Jeff Fisher made a mistake letting Chandler go. He would have had a dominant team for the past 3 seasons, with Chandler.

Yes I was beside myself after that loss to the Titans. First of all because we beat them on the field but not on the scoreboard, and secondly because it was our SECOND home loss on MNF!

SKINS made a few critical mistakes but overall it was a solid game by both teams. SKINS spotted the Titans 14 points with a punt return for a touch, and a fluke interception by the Titans at THEIR 19 returned for a TD with no time left in the half! Titans offense managed only ONE TD and a field goal against a swarming SKINS defense! The Titans defense is better than I thought, but their offense was in trouble against that AWSOME SKINS D which held them to 192 total offensive yards (96 passing & 96 rushing)! Titans special teams were terrific while the SKINS special teams, suffering from injuries to 6 starters, gave up big plays! That game could indeed be a preview of the superbowl!

SKINS are 6-3 heading down to Arizona with a bye week to follow. The toughest part of the SKINS schedule is behind them now, while the Titans and Rams toughest part has just begun. I like where we are so much that I've begun thinking about Tampa Bay plans!

ps. There is now absolutely no chance that my SKINS lose their 3rd MNF game of the year! I'm just sorry KC beat us to the punch by crushing the Rams and knocking them from the undefeated column!
