What Titans Fans Are Saying

[Jeremy Igo 101,697]

Every week I bring to you a sampling of what fans of the opposing team are saying. 

This week, Tennessee Titans Fans, courtesy of their independent fan site TitansReport.com

 

Quote

I'm not scared of Carolina. The Titans are capable of beating anyone in the NFL.

(minus the Browns, Dolphins, Texans, Falcons, Colts, Bills... all losses this year) 

Quote

If we end Carolina's streak, we can recover this season

This will be a popular sentiment among fans and teams alike. Knocking off an undefeated team is bragging rights material. The Panthers are currently 8-0 with a giant target on their backs. 

Quote

Can't imagine going into the game expecting a win unless Newton miss the team plane while "shopping" for a laptop.

Proof that all fan bases have pretty dumb individuals pulling for them.

carolina is good. im only scared for mariota getting hit. i dont care if we win or lose out. i just want mariota healthy and progressing and us to get first dibs on all new coaching candidates.

Apparently some fans are already giving up... in early November. I remember those days. It stinks. I'm looking at you Jimmy Clausen.

I'll be very surprised if we can win this game.

Pretty sure these stats aren't updated for this week, but Carolina is allowing the lowest passer rating in the entire NFL: 64.5 They've allowed only 7 TDs and 12 INTs. They're second lowest in completion % allowed: 57.3%.

They're also 9th in sacks (20 total), which is tied with Houston for the highest team we'll have faced. Though New Orleans had 19... but Carolina will now be able to look at our blue print for avoiding sacks in this game.

Pretty realistic. 

Overall, Titans fans are fairly realistic about their chances on Sunday. Sure, there are some that are supremely confident about a 2-6 team facing an 8-0 team, but that is part of being a fan.

I was cool with them....then the Cam is selfish and can't handle adversity without pouting thing started (like Colts OT and Seahawks game and car accident and KB getting hurt never happened)...

I remember the days of ignorant optimism myself, Titan fan. You guys have a nice QB, yes, but he's no Cam Newton. And nowhere else do you match up well with Carolina. It won't end well for you, this week or this season.

That's what you get with SEC country. And if you thought UGA/Falcons fans were having a bad time, UT/Titans fans are probably on a whole new level.

For some reason I'm reminded of this:

Can they win sure? It's not likely. I have no doubt that the team will come out angry as they search for that complete game.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright 4,998]

Oh gee...laptop jokes. Ouchies.

[Chaos 10,693]

Lots of confidence and bravado on that board. 

Good.

When I'm in the airport early I like to search "I hate cam newton" on Twitter bc...free entertainment. Today it was "cam newton Titans"...

[CarolinaXblue 383]

Not sleeping on Tennessee. They either show up or they lay down. But, if they thought they've seen a tough game this year, I feel sorry for them.

One of my best friends lives in Nashville and is arguably the world's biggest Titans fan (didn't know anyone was a Titans fan). I am going to Nashville for the game and asked him for his thoughts/predictions. He feels like they are revitalized after firing Wisenhunt but fully expects the Panthers to win. His call? 28-21 Panthers in a close one.

My Call? 31-13 Panthers. Titans have weapons but we limit them on offense and wear them out on offense.

I must give you props for the Titanfall picture!  I still love playing that game from time to time!

Sure, they have a right to feel good after last week.  Doesn't every team feel confident after a big win?  Could they beat us?  Absolutely.  Any given Sunday..blahblahblah.  The Panthers would have to give them a hand and completely lay down.  It is entirely possible because we've won 8 games this season, and are due for a let down.

Then again, we've had let downs versus other teams, but we still won.  I don't see the Panthers taking the Titans lightly.  I think the Titans will put up a fight, but I think we will grind them out.  Mariota doesn't make a lot of mistakes, which is fairly amazing as a rookie, but he hasn't faced our Defense.  We also haven't had a complete game yet...

They can feel great now, like every team that's faced us thus far, but we're not the Saints or the Bucs.  Just wait >=)

[teeray 17,129]

They are better than their record (Mariota missed two games) and this reeks of a let down gane after 4 big games.

If we slip or dont take them seriously, they will beat us

Bell still starting...?

I dunno about realistic, but they're pretty dumb.  I wore my Panthers jersey to the Titans/Phins game a few weeks ago (yes, I was one of those guys, but to be fair we went downtown afterwards to watch the Panthers/Seahawks game).  Anyway, I had a Titans fan tell me the Panthers suck, mind you we were 4-0 at this time while they had one win and 3 losses.  I also had a guy say "wow, a Panthers jersey?  I guess somebody has to pull for them."  I was like we're 4-0 what are you talking about?  He then shut the fug up.  So no, realistic is a nice way of saying stupid.  Because they're not that intelligent.
