Titans were two blown plays away from winning this thing.

My view is that week one is now essentially preseason game 4 with starters so expect a slop-fest.

However there are serious concerns that can be exploited and it's all fun and game now but if those aren't cleaned up it'll be a long season...

Excited to see how this team bounces back on the road in prime time against a division foe.

Improvements on both sides. Now the defense is playing a damn near elite levels - level of opponent or not, they are dominating. I can't even name the defensive lineman we lost this off-season...

Offense is performing exactly how I thought they would. A lot of "new" to consider when starting this season. At least they've shown the intestinal fortitude to win in the end.

Let's see how we contain Love and protect Carr next week.

Well, Green Bay is ranked 30th against the run and 17th against the pass after their first two games.

Now this is another telling stat. Carr never had even a halfway decent defense with the Raiders. They were always horrible.
