Popular Post Ratbird Posted February 2 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) ESPN announces ESPN Films’ 30 for 30 “Bullies of Baltimore” about the 2000 Baltimore Ravens will premiere February 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET. Not to hijack your board, but I know ya'll have some football junkies on here that might appreciate this. And I of course know how you feel about the Ravens. I have a buddy involved in putting this together and he says quite a bit of the content centers around the Titans/Ravens rivalry, so thought I would bring it to your attention. The audio from Brian Billick's famous "turn the cameras off" speech in the Titans locker room, is being aired for the first time on TV (already leaked on twitter, spoiler). Focused mainly around how that team and teams of that era simply cannot exist today given social media, NFL rules, etc. Can't be worse than the Pro Bowl games.

Lars Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) The Ravens stole the Titans SB away that season. The Titans blocked the Ravens 2019 season SB. A long history of mutual hatred in between. Edited February 2 by Lars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Justafan Posted February 2 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 2 I miss the old AFC Central. Games against the Steelers and Ravens just felt right. The AFC South simply hasn't been the same. RockyTopJedi, WG53, Sargo, and 7 others 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) One of the worst things the league did, and I realize that this was bound to happen with 32 teams and 8 divisions, was breaking up the Ravens/Titans rivalry. I still don't get why they didn't stick Baltimore in the AFC South and Indy in the AFC North but that's another story. It wasn't like Baltimore at that time had a rivalry with any other team even close to the Titans. The Steelers were struggling a bit at that time, at least when the decision was made, so that rivalry hadn't really gotten off the ground. The Bengals were terrible. And the Browns were also bad. Obviously Cleveland/Baltimore was a rivalry but that was more because of the history between the cities with the Browns going to Baltimore than anything on the field. There were lots of other rivalries broken up with realignment but I'd say Ravens-Titans was among the biggest.

The game up in Philadephia a few weeks earlier that season after the loss to the Ravens in Nashville made Fisher feel super-justified in sticking with him.

Reese and Fisher were definitely complicit but he was always a lot better on turf than grass. ADG literally had a big hand in 3 of their 4 losses that year. The playoff game meltdown on it's own was the worst NashvilleNinja 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That home playoff game against the Steelers was one of the best games I was ever at. Both teams were bringing it. Blaine Bishop put a crushing hit on Hines Ward on a long pass downfield that broke up the reception and nearly knocked Ward out. They threw the flag but it was worth it. IIRC, Bishop took his helmet off and glared down at Ward after the hit. Of course there was the missed FG at the end of the game that resulted in the famous Nedney flop that ultimately gave them another chance and the W. Watching Cower go ballistic on the sidelines was pure gold. IsntLifeFunny, Number9, BudsOilers, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 That one throw McNair made to McCareins in OT where he rolled to his right and threaded the needle between defenders to setup the winning FG was arguably the best pass he threw as a Titan. freakingeek, and rns90 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 The best throw I remember him making was a pass down the middle for like 40 yards against the Dolphins in the 2003. It was a relatively meaningless play as it was a blowout (it was 0-0 at the time though) but it was as perfect a pass as I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
