Not really, most of us are pretty realistic actually. I have known the past couple years that the Tarp Kitties could be dangerous if they bothered to start trying. 

You are kidding yourself though if you think that Cows team you saw this past Sunday is indicative of what they were last season. Whether the Harvey stuff was a big distraction or they are just not good anymore. Which happens in the NFL.

We have learned not to read too much into a first week victory. In 2014 and 2015 we started the year with "dominant" win. Only to end up being the worst team in the league each of those two years.

The Tarp Kitties moniker is outdated. A few years ago more sections became available for NFL games and we sold a lot more seats without getting any blackouts. Titans fans have to know that by now if they aren't hiding under rocks. And if you know we can be dangerous, you also know we actually do try to win because of what happened during their last game at Jacksonville.

Do you put much stock into a first week loss?
