Question: Why are Titans a "Super Bowl Contender" while we are laughing stock?

[Hail to the Redskins]

I guess I could have worded my post differently. but what I'm asking is for real, not sarcastic...

What separates the Titans from us?

Is it talent?? I don't see how they have more talent....

I'm thinking it's that they play defense & can run... proves QBs need to just manage games (K. Collins) & you don't need good receivers )J. Gage #1 receiver) to win...

but then I think, that sounds like us... so what the hell!!?!? lol

They're better where it matters most. In the trenches.

It is also the FO and the atmosphere of the franchise in general. You have tons of money being loosened up by Snyder and really not much accountability in terms of player performance. We have wasted a ton of cap space in getting these fat cat free agents just looking for a major payday. Our FA moves for the most part haven't panned out. Moss was the only good deal we have inked in recent memory. Brunell's signing being good is debatable. The Fletcher pickup was good so I correct myslef about the previous statement. Haynesworth and D' Angelo Hall will be wait and see cases. Bottom line though is we gamble with FA acqusitions and usually bomb with our draft strategy, if we ever have one. On top of that we choke when the game is tight and on the line. In short, the FO and the team just doesn't get the job done.

Is because they have Jeff Fisher a veteran coach who took them to the Super Bowl. He also has been their coach since they moved from Houston TX.
As for our Team we have had how many coaches? ( Norv,Marty,Steve,Joe,and Jim) other than loyal Redskin fans people like to hate on Daniel Synder because of how he spent big money on free agents to make his team better. He sometimes over paid but he will do what ever it takes to make this team better. I think he has learned over the years to let the quailfied coaches coach and him be an owner. Lets hope he has learned to be more patient with the Head Coach and Jason Campbell and draft O-Lineman this off season to truly gage how good our offense can be with a better O-line.

By the way, the Raiders are a a laughing stock...we're miles from that.

Except when there's wild speculation on a ridiculous free agent signing. Then, it's always Dan Snyder and Al Davis who come up.

Organizationally, the Titans are much, much stronger than us.

Under Floyd Reese though, they weren't much better than we are now under Cerrato. Mike Reinfelt took over and he's been able to stay on the same page as Jeff Fisher and the results have been impressive.

With that said, our roster is stronger than their roster this year.

I agree with you and Ruhskins,I know of nobody laughing at the Skins,your front office has a problem.............suing old ladies but as for the team and the coachs ...hell most people I know are picking you guys on Sunday.

13-3, 8-8.
you have to earn respect.
we will this year!

The Titans are for real. They were 13-3 for one thing. They were one of the few teams that really abused the Steelers last year.

Their two running backs, Chris Johnson and Lendale White combined for over 2000 rushing yards, Kerry Collins was a Pro Bowler, and they have a really talented O-line which also sent two players to the Pro Bowl. They had the #7 overall defense, 2nd in the league in scoring allowed, 5th in the league in sacks, and a plus 14 turnover ratio. On top of all that, Jeff Fisher is a world class head coach.

Right now, they're way ahead of us as an organization.

this is 100% correct. We have to show that can consistently win over a season. last year we lost to the RAMS and the BENGALS. good teams don't do that. We weren't good last year. This year, we have the chance to be VERY good. I'm a huge believer, and for some on this board that know me as a natural bear, that may come as a surprise. I love our defensive prospects- very sexy. Offensively, I am concerned. we improve at WR by virtue of maturation of last year's draft and the signing of Dock- that said, the o-line is a large question mark as is Campbell's progression as a NFL QB. I'm a believer in him too (to a degree).
this could be the start of something beautiful.

Orakpo and Carter will each get 10 sacks.

Coaching and line play. Any team that can protect their QB, open holes for the running game and get to the other team's QB is good team. Flashy RBs, WRs, CBs, etc. aren't necessary to win. Look at who the Pats had at WR and RB when they won their 3 titles, and the Steelers WRs are good, but they aren't Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Larry Fitz, Boldin, Wayne, Jennings, etc. And they got by with their #3RB last year.
