    I wouldn't say he didn't show interest in the game, but I will say he's pretty weak if he did sit out just for a small ankle injury. This is the NFL. The playoffs. Win or go home. You either tough it out for 2 games and rest it before the Superbowl or you lose and rest it for 8 months.

    simple decision. So now we've got VY and CJ possibly with no heart. Hopefully both prove otherwise in the future and redeem themselves.

    At this time I am giving CJ the benefit of the doubt. If there are photos of him dancing at some club tonight then I got issues with him - lol

    The whole game CJ was cutting and then turning it up. With a injuried ankle you cannot cut as well therefore he would not have done much anyways. But if it is minor then I will have lost some respect for the guy. I was thrilled he didnt showboat when he scored his td, well not like usual, he is awesome though thats forsure.

    I'm not even going to question the guys heart or injury. What i will say is that their was an article that came out in the beginning of the week about Johnson wanting to prove he was no fluke. He wanted to show everyone that he wasnt just a one hit season wonder. The guy single handedly was running all over the Ravens defense and having a great first half. I just cant imagine that he would keep himself out with what was at stake. I'm sorry but i'm not buyin it

    I can't believe he didn't at least test it either but we had two great opportunities to score without him and we failed. Maybe he could of helped us out or maybe he wouldn't have been as effective after a banged up ankle. Who knows. Actually "failed" is a bit of an understatement when you hand the ball to them like we did...especially twice in the red zone. I don't understand why White don't wrap up the ball better when he's going into the pile. Guess they don't stress that in practice much anymore. Crumpler's fumble was very disappointing obviously. He got slammed pretty hard but he's a pro bowl caliber TE veteran and that really shouldn't happen...especially in games of this magnitude after we already coughed it up once. Heck, I believe A.Hall got jacked up worse than he did by R.Lewis and he still managed to hang onto the damn ball. Sorry for the language. Typing all that out again just got me irritated all over again. I realize no one's perfect.

    Edit: Completely forgot about the quote of your lack of play makers not showing thing. I think Gage was one heck of a play maker for us in that game. Can't say enough about his performance. Anyway, we put up nearly twice as many yards I believe as they did so I don't think lack of play makers was our biggest problem here. Just simply too many things against us. That being refs, turnovers or what have you.

    Yeah man, It's everybody's dream from childhood to make it to the playoffs in the NFL, then sit out when they need you the most. There is not a player on the bench that wouldn't kill to get in there, besides VY.

    And thank you, Mr. Athletic Trainer for telling us what is and isn't a "small" ankle injury. Your expert opinion is valued here.

    I know you post things simply to get a rise out of people, but come on now.

    That's what i'm saying ...... who really knows yet maybe CJ argued to go back in but wasn't allowed by the coaching staff.


    Blah blah blah ...he has no heart ...... blah blah blah


    Maybe, just maybe, he actually was too hurt to go!!!!

    Anyone who saw the effort CJ put into that touchdown run cannot tell me they truly believe he sat out of the playoff game with a minor ankle injury. I am pretty sure the training staff did not tell the coaches "he is fine to play", but he was allowed to sit out.

    The way that guy cuts on the field is amazing...hell I tweaked an ankle just watching the replay of his run.

    They said the x-rays showed no damage but the pain was too much to go back in. He also said he felt swelling. Entering the second half, maybe Fisher felt the Titans had the game in control (though tied) and that he didn't want to risk losing CJ for the AFC Championship.

    Did anyone hear of him leaving the locker room in crutches or in a boot?
