I've never seen anything like this before; I'm honestly curious how many players on the team really give a crap.

I don't know who to give more credit to. While yes, the Titans were terrible, Brady actually looked really fantastic on his own. His passes were spot on, he was moving around well without really excessive time and he just looked absolutely locked in. On the other hand, one cannot express enough how absolutely fucking TERRIBLE the Titans looked. I mean, yeah, Brady got the ball in the air quickly, but I'm reasonably sure he probably could've stood there for about three minutes and then connect with Vince Wilfork for a TD, the Titans looked so bad. The Pats defense has, in my opinion, been steadily improving (Barring last week's second half, they looked pretty awful), but they didn't even have to work, the Titans offense was just utterly incompetent.

On the plus side, I'll definitely be able to see the NE-Tampa game next week. :-D

I have to go to a bar to see pretty much every game, because nobody here gives a shit about the Redskins (seriously, I am one of only three people in the bar who watch the Redskins games, and this is the bar where I've found the largest group of Redskins fans). Though, we do play two Monday nights and one Sunday night (though, I expect that one to get flexed).
BIG NEWS GUYS! Jim Zorn will not be the play caller any more! They're going to announce who is going to call the plays tomorrow. I'm really hoping that this will do something to make our team suck less. Maybe Campbell will step up after being benched and we'll actually have a quarterback. I'm hoping Chris Samuels is back next week, because our offensive line neeeeeeeeds him so badly.

Yeah, I didn't mean my comment to be denigrating of the Patriots in any way and I'm on the record as thinking of them as a dangerous team even if they're not as loaded defensively as they once were. It's just that I think a team would want to show up for a game like this and I'm not really sure the Titans did. After all, the Patriots have a bit of a rep for running up the score against inferior teams, (I actually admire this a bit; it beats the shit out of the Viking's "Hey, we're up by 10; Where's my iphone? I need to Twitter," routine) and most NFL players want to avoid that kind of treatment just as a matter of pride if nothing else. The Titans do have some talent on the roster, after all, and even the Lions at least try hard and often make a couple plays even if they lack the talent to play a full game without making some crippling mistakes. But the Titans just got plain annihilated this week; I think they gave up the season after losing their first 3 games.

My theory is that spending the week with people calling this a trap game resulted in the Titans getting a case of "oh yeah? we'll show you!"
