Titan V Steeler game thread

[rayzor]

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said safety Troy Polamalu has a sprained MCL in his knee that could keep the Pro Bowler out for 3-6 weeks.

Polamalu left Thursday's 13-10 defeat of the Titans before halftime. After the game, Tomlin said the diagnosis is preliminary and refused to rule out that the injury could be more serious than an MCL sprain.

I had to do a double take to make sure this was the Huddle.

Ya, I'd never usually do a thread like this, but since it was opening night...it will be moved later today I'm sure.

I can't believe Chuck Cecil (Titans DC) called the dogs off late in the game and in OT. Nothing about his profile as a player would lead you to think he'd play a soft, bend-don't-break style of D, especially with the game on the line.

When the Titans gave him the DC job instead of Dave McGinniss, I thought it was a mistake. In the first half, he was making it look like a good decision. By game's end though, ugh :sosp:

Be honest, Mr. Scot. Do you think the prevent defense in these situations results in more losses than wins over time or is it a product of the opposing offense going into a 2-minute drill? It just seems so bizarre that, based on what I've seen over many years, going to a prevent defense tends to be more the standard than the exception.

Titans' D looked good then wore down late, Steelers' D looks as good as ever. Man I love to watch great D. It's fun to watch a D that can hold serve when the O effs up or the O doesn't sustain a drive and makes big plays in big spots and gets teams off the field on third downs.

I got rob bironas (sigh) and titans Def (yayy!)

Everytime I watch them play, I admit I get Steeler envy. I absolutely love the way they play defense.

There's a saying that what the prevent defense actually prevents is winning.
