We didn't last year, even against bad teams like Frisco. Hell, we lost to the sorry-*** Raiders. The San Diego win? Nailbiter. Carolina? Ditto. The one game we did dominate on the road--Seattle--we lost. Wanna prove to me that you belong with the big boys? Then do to the Titans what Philly did to the Niners.

Or what the RedStinks did to the Texans?

This team can't blow out anyone on the road. Penalties and turnovers is why this team can't blow out anyone on the road. The offensive line and Bledsoe seem to buckle under adversity. That is why this team may not make the playoffs.

A win is a win, who cares if it's 'convincing'. Let me ask you this, did the Squealers win the Superbowl 'convincingly'? They still got that Lombardi though.

hell, they were one foot in the grave, and had to string up consecutive wins to even make the postseason

but I'm w/ bbgun on this one, I'd like to see us knock the crap out of the Titans, and all the other "scrub" teams

Thank you for starting this thread.

We NEED to start beating teams down... decisively!

...are definitely a problem on this team. Given the way Parcells game plans and calls plays so conservatively a few unforced errors and we have a big "L" in the result column instead of that tenuous little "w" we were clinging so desperately to in the final quarter.

Dallas is a good team, but we don't have a history of domination that overcomes multiple errors.

We will prolly start slow and they may in fact score first. But we should be able to run on them. If so, we will win with a cushion of,,,,,lets say,,,,14-17 points.

I could care less if we beat teams by 20pts or 1pt as long as we're winning.

not what philthy did to San fran or what Wash did to Houston...

We need to suffocate the titans. They should have no more than 3 points on the scoreboard when it all ends. They should absolutely not sniff the endzone. A fg or two is acceptable. They should not have over 250 yards of total offense, if that much.
In a game like this, our defense should absolutely shut them down.
Our offense should be able to accidentally score at least 3x TDs + 1x fg
We should win this game by at least a 31-3 type margin. That's how it should be if we're going to be legit....you beat down crummy, rebuilding, multiple injuries to starters, no talent-type teams...if you're a legit power.

There is no such thing as a legit power in week 4 and what is our week 3 of the season. I'd love a 31-3 victory but I'll take a win over any NFL team any day of the week. At the end of the year the only thing that matter is what your record is.

true, but a game like this is where a defense like ours, at least if its going to be dominant like we want it to be and think it can be, begins to establish itself as a dominant defense. This is a game where a defense like ours, if its as good as we think it can be, gets several turnovers and maybe even a score.
I won't be happy with just a W in this game, it better be a blowout and one where the Titans can't move the ball to save their lives. They are absolutely one of the worst teams in the league and we think we are among the top tier....so we need to reinforce that on the field. The talent comparison is so overwhelmingly in our favor that it'll actually be sad if we don't whip them horribly.

Your going to feel what ever you feel myself I'll take a win be it in a blowout or not. I want to see Dallas post a good record win the division and being playing at their best from Thanksgiving in to the post season. As for Tenn being weak I agree they have problems then again I have seen even the 90's SB teams lose to much weaker teams than they were. It is the NFL and these are Pros and are capable of putting up a fight. Tenn has nothing to lose and can throw anything they want at us, that makes them a bit of a danger if Dallas walks in and plays good football I expect we will win. Blowout I would love it but I'll still take a win regardless if this is a blowout or not.

The problem that I see with all this "let's win convincinlng" is that I just don't think that is in Parcells style of play...

For example, if the Boyz were to jump out to a 21 - 0 lead in the 1st or 2nd qtr, I would bet that Parcells would just go into a lay back, take time off the clock mode type of play. I don't think he has that Jimma instinct to just kill the other team no matter what!

I think Parcells is to soft sometimes to have an attacking style of play...I think he would just get a lead and try not to embarass another team by running up the score.

Hell, he cannot even run up the score against a good team if the Boyz are ahead by 10 or so...

I have to be honest...I just do not like his style of football! Does it work? Absoutely...! Is it boring at times? Absoutely!

Carry on...

a win is a win no matter how you do it but i agree with you here. I would like so see our boyz dominate weaker competetion like true champions do. i want to see this team prove that they are no longer the same team that they have been the last couple years and that they are ready to dominate

Last time I checked, they are an NFL team. They are cornered, and could come out fighting this early in the season. If we can see anything from the Saints, this game can be won on emotion.

Any given Sunday it can happen. Hopefully it doesn't happen to us.
