It's weird. As a Titans fan, I'm both optimistic and pessimistic about the team this season.
One one hand, the Defense continues its stellar play, the running game shows up and Vince Young improves and all of a sudden the 08 Titans look eerily similar to the 99 Titans that went to the Superbowl.
On the other hand, Albert Haynesworth goes back to being a highly inconsistent player, Cortland Finnegan goes down and the Titnas have to start Eric freaking King, Chris Johnson turns out to be a bust, LenDale White eats himself out of the league, and Vince Young flops again and all of a sudden the Titans finish 4-12.

It's pretty funny how things played. I only wish my Pats made it to the playoffs, but now I can only look forward to the draft a pray that Rey Malauga or James Laruenatious fall into our laps.
