Tennessee Titans 27, New England Patriots 24 (0-2) (Preseason)

The last time the Tennessee Titans came to town, it was January of 2004, ten below zero, and the divisional playoff. Oh, and the Patriots won on their way to their second Super Bowl. :)

Well, like most preseason games, some good stuff, some bad stuff last night. The pre-game warm-ups were cancelled as thunder and lightning filled the skies, but the game started on time. The fans came back down to the seats and sat in light rain most of the night.

Tom was picked off in the first series, due to getting hit and his aim off, but he came back the next series with a TD pass to Wes Welker. Another touchdown was scored, but the Pats wasted a golden opportunity to score after a defensive holding penalty put them on the goal line.

Linebacker Junior Seau is 38 years old and running around like a 28-year-old! :)

The QB and receivers aren't quite in rhythm yet, and Tom took some vicious hits as the offensive line didn't do a great job. One hit in particular had him getting up slowly. No one in New England wants to see that!

The defense stopped the run and put on relentless pressure of its own against Vince Young, the Tennessee Titans' quarterback. Rodney Harrison in particular got a good shot in, a little payback for a cheap shot to the knee last year by a Titan that knocked him out of the upcoming playoffs.

The first-team offense needs more work, especially the O-line, and the first-team defense looked sharp, coming up with a great goal-line stand to end the first half.

The lead was lost in the second half as the second-and-third-stringers played, and they ended up losing 27-24. Good thing preseason doesn't count! :)

If anyone else is a football fan, how did your team do?

well, I just walked into the living room and Bill said that the Bengals lost. Of course, I don't have any idea who they lost to . . . But with the Bengals, being told they lost wasn't a new or rare experience.

I wish the Patriots had won, though.

LOL! Yes, the Bengals haven't been to successful in recent years, though they have improved in the last few years. You've got a real good quarterback in Carson Palmer. :)

Me, too! :)

I'm a Dallas girl. I grew up there, and I still love them (even after last year. lol). So far, they're 1-0 (they beat Indianapolis. hee!), but I haven't heard about the latest game with Denver, yet.

Cool! :) Too bad Parcells is gone. If the Pats and Cowboys had ended up in the Super Bowl this year, what a Tuna Bowl that would have been! :)

I like North Melbourne Kangaroos (Aussie Rules Football). Though ten below zero in Fahrenheit (shivers just thinking about it) would be unheard of here (not sure what it is in Celsius but it'd be cold). At least that was years ago.

OK since I'm addicted when do you think the next chapter of "Rainbow's Freedom" will be up? Will it be the lecture on sex/pleasure slaves? Will it be trouble free? Please let the first two questions be resolved soon. 'Cos painful withdrawal symptoms are not fun. ;-)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :P
