    Oh okay. Well either way, I think the point still stands.

    I'm saying that regardless of what we did today, teams would have to respect us. It's the NFL and you've got to respect your opponent.

    I agree that teams may realize that we're better than they may have thought after today, but that should not change the way they prepare for us.

    I was thinking the same thing at the time. I would have gone for it, and here's why:

    It comes down to this:
    Do you trust your D to stop Houston's 2 point conversion?
    Or do you trust your O to get the 2 point conversion?

    I trust our O more in a one-play situation like that more than I trust our D. Offenses can get creative and get those measly 2 and a half yards. Had we got the two, it's gg no re. Houston would have had to recover an onside kick, drive into FG range, and make it to win.

    Why shouldn't we be considered a "serious team" Throughout the late 90s and 2000s were had one of my successful teams in the league. Now because our QB handcuffs us we can't take next step.

    If you cant stop a team from going down the field and getting a 2 point conversion you dont deserve to win. Titans did the right thing to go up by 8

    Why? Because if you asked me if our D could stop a 2 pt conversion after that I would have said absolutely.

    I was pretty sure we still had an 8 pt. lead with under 3 minutes remaining. Should have won this game.
