Titans won 5 in a row after starting 0-6. Would be wild if they snagged a wildcard spot. ---

Holy crap, Vince Young. You are the best crazy quarterback ever. ---

It is impressive how Tennessee has rebounded since that complete meltdown at Foxboro. ---

I was putting my daughter to bed during the end of the 4:00 games. My husband sent me a text that said “Vince Young just went Vince Young all over the Cardinals.” I responded “Longhorn national title Vince Young, or hot wings and threatened suicide Vince Young?” The stats on that final 99-yard drive are insane. ---

Looks like Jax got demolished. Are there any other teams as hard to get a read on than the 49ers, Dolphins and Houston? So up and down. ---

The Titans still have a tough schedule, too, but damn. What a turn around. And with Vince Young and Chris Johnson, they’re one of the most exciting teams to watch. I hope they do squeak into the playoffs. ---

I hope they do squeak into the playoffs. They’re five games away from 10-6, with zero margin for error. Not impossible, but unlikely. I see them finishing at 8-8, which is a remarkable turnaround from 0-6 to begin with, and bodes well for them to rebound next season. Damn that Chris Johnson is good. ---

I’m pretty sure they’ll be left wondering what might have been if they went to Vince Young after week 4. ---

Interesting but pointless statistical note: Aaron Rodgers was first in passing touchdowns and second in passing yards entering Sunday (thanks to having played on Thursday)… and led all quarterbacks in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. ---

Yeah, and isn’t he also one of the most sacked QB’s in the league, too? He is however, fantasy gold this season. ---

Even in my league with a -.5 point sack penalty Rodgers is the top scoring QB. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Panthers have something like 12 net passing yards. I wonder if this is the nail in the coffin for either or both John Fox and Jake Delhomme. And that 99-yard Vince Young craziness was FANTASTIC. Exciting ending to the Steelers/Titans game, too. ---

_Very_ impressed that Baltimore’s special teams were able to get onto the field and get the ball snapped and kicked in… what, 8 seconds? ---

I think that’s why they missed. The whole thing was so rushed. (Well, that and the fact that it was a 60+ yarder…) ---
