Really don't know much about the Titans and the Steelers have a sucky line and offensive coordinator for the 12th straight season and the crappy Titans (and Jaguars) always seem to make for a very frustrating game to watch.

A must win in week 1? Kinda

Steelers 16
Titans 13

As much as I don't like to read too much into the preseason....I think this could be a long year for the Black & Gold. I wanna see if the defense can pressure the QB and force some fumbles and bad throws/INT's. Big play ability has been lacking defensively and they have to force some turnovers.

They definitely have their share of kinks to work out, as nothing really seemed to be all that exceptional for them in the preseason. Hopefully, Tennessee proves to be a good team to work things out on.

As a Titans fan, I'm about 50/50 on optimism.

I think Locker is good, not very good or great..

Big plays on defense? Few and far between.

Since it is the titans I think the steelers can pull out an uglyl win. Still predicting 7-8 wins for the steelers.

Whooaa, random. Yes, I lived in Astoria for the past 3 years. 30th Ave Stop, then Ditmars (near the park) for the last two. Hit up any good spots? Lots of solid booze and eats in Astoria.

I just moved to Brooklyn over the weekend.

I stayed at 27th and ditmar. Didnt really eat there except for the bagel shop which was pretty damn good. First time in NYC so we were mostly in other Burroughs. Fun city, I will visit again, but I def prefer the living style of DC better.

Yeah, that's my old hood. I was on 21st and Ditmars. So much to see, it takes a lot of trips. Hell, I'm 3 years in and still don't know shit about Brooklyn.

The humidity was brutal this past weekend. I'm so ready for fall.

I see this being a pretty ugly game. For some reason I feel like the Titans will pull out a win.

Same ol irritating Steelers

Gift wrapped 2 points to start the game and then they beautifully went down inside the 10 for 3rd and inches and horrible Redman fumbles into the end zone for a blown potential 9-0 lead.

Pouncey looked to blow out his knee....Ben has zero time. AB is the only WR worth anything and they cut their best back Dwyer.

Defense is pretty good but DO NOT FORCE TURNOVERS EVER....mix that with a horrible line, horrible OC, a meh receiving core and the worst RB's....

That particular performance will bring a 2-14 season. They will have to eliminate turnovers and force some others to smell 6-8 wins.

On the positive side Ben looked healthy, Polomalu looked good and rookie LB Jarvis Jones looked good.

Still no clue how Redman made the team over Dwyer.

Glad they called a TO with 2:02 on the clock.

Now if they don't get the onsides the clock will run out instead of having at least some desperation time
