The only thing uglier than an ugly win, is an ugly loss. I had a vision of a blowout win but I should have known better. That was a slog all the way to the end and I confess I was thinking the game was lost when the Titans went up 17-13. Geno got the job done, and everyone lives to move on to the Steelers.

The D will look instantly better when Witherspoon is able to suit up. They miss his energy and he is far superior to either Burns or Bryant as the slot corner.

The Titans run D is statisically not bad, but I was suprised our OL was not able to consistently win in the trenches--that is the biggest concern I have coming out of the game, and I agree with you Ken that drafting another OT would be a great idea for 24.

I knew this game would be problematic. Remember the last time we played them, here, built up a big lead and then they ran all over us for the comeback win? So I recorded the game and did Christmas stuff around the house. At 2:30 asked my wife to find out who won. Hey great news! So I sat down to watch the game... and had to ask her twice if she had read the score correctly. When you know the outcome, you watch a bit more objectively, and objectively... I thought we sucked all around. Yeah there were some decent plays here and there, but we did not look like a team that was in control of its own destiny. They went down the field and ate up the clock on us like pretty much everyone else. And our offense didn't do squat, and looked ugly in the process. Somehow we kept them from putting us away, but I was very unimpressed when they scored on us after an 8 minute drive in the fourth quarter. I kept wondering, where was this victory going to come from. So... I see how we won, and some guys were clutch, on offense and defense. But why do we have to get our asses kicked for three quarters before we see the light? And not to be negative here, but we were lucky to have the help of their penalties. And what kind of sieve is our O-line? And I thought we were supposed to be playing a second-string secondary. Didn't look that way to me. I was happy last Monday. And I'm not unhappy tonight. But I hate to say it, we're looking like a team that is still trying to figure out what it's supposed to be doing on every single frickin play, after the snap. Okay. Vented. Merry Christmas to all you wonderful Hawks fans on this site and to Ken for putting it together.
