Quick history lesson/perspective:
If we're talking solely about the Tennessee Titans (including the Tennessee Oilers) and not the old Houston Oilers franchise, your team has has been in existence in Tennessee since 1997. We're talking 18 years if in fact you were watching from the very beginning. On the flip side, my team has been in existence for 56 years (since 1959) and aside from the historical SB III victory (which I wasn't even alive for; my earliest memory as a fan is from 1980), over the past 35 years I have endured the fake spike, the butt fumble, Rich Kotite, garbage QB after garbage QB, countless meltdowns by us/comebacks by the opposition and not just in-game collapses, but season-long/decade-long franchise collapses. It's not a who's team sucks more pissing contest, it's fact. That being said, I could argue that it's far better to be mired in relative obscurity with one SB appearance than it is to endure the pain, suffering and hardship that my team puts me through on a yearly basis.
Ask a knowledgeable NFL football fan about TEN and they might go, "Pfft, who cares, it's the Titans?!" Now ask that same fan about the NYJ and most likely they will burst out in laughter and muse about what losers we are. I submit that you might just be in a much better position than I as a fan.
PS - Be thankful you even have a team in such a small market. You could be a current SD, STL or OAK fan who's team is in flux without any indication of what the future brings or worse yet, live in a city that had a team, but lost it to relocation.

I assure you that is not the case... I don't even respect our team. I just love guys like Walker who put
it all on the line no matter what... would be easy for him to mail
it in like most of our players. Instead he's out their catches more passes than any TE in the league. And he's literally the only player in the passing game defenses are game planning around.
I'm not mad as a fan that Walker didn't make
it in. I'm mad for him that few NFL fans seem to understand just how good he really is. And I know he's a pro and that he'll say
it doesn't bother him, but
it has to. I am sure he is pissed off about the state of this team and the fact that he gets snubbed for having an amazing season.
He's a well deserving guy and should be known around the league. I had the chance to briefly talk with him at a Preds playoff game, and he was clearly appreciative of my support of the team in its worst state in franchise history.
As for Luck, that dude is the most overrated player in the league. I've seen 20+ games of his and only a few times has he actually lived up to the hype. On the flip side, I like Bortles... because he is underrated. And I honestly don't see a massive gap between he and Luck. They both belong on the fringe of the top 10.
Also, I am just about as pissed that Allen Robinson didn't make the Pro Bowl... He was every bit as deserving as Delanie.
I think people just like to laugh at the Jets... If we were in a big market, the laughs about our team would be much louder. Instead, like you said, people just don't care about us.
I just have to hope that the incredibly brilliant minds (this is sarcasm) in the FO are able to pull their heads out of their asses and not draft like a bunch of jackasses. Build a team around Mariota!
I'd rather let a 3rd grader take a top 250 prospects sheet and select the highest rated player on the board than to let Ruston Webster have anything to do with this team. He is a master of failure, an idiot, and if I see him while he's still a member of this organization, I'm sorry, but I will be sure to tell him that he is the worst GM in all of pro sports and he should find another profession. Call
it classless or whatever, but he needs to know what our passionate fans are like... and what he's done to this franchise.
PS - The reason I responded to you in that fashion was because
it feels a lot like you're singling out my posts after I've talked crap about the Panthers and their attitude. And FWIW, Ed Reed said they need to tone
it down and cut out a lot of the dumb celebrations, Boomer Esiason insinuated the Panthers were asking for a fight from OBJ. A lot of former NFL players seem to think they're not being very professional... And trust me when I say, they will falter in the playoffs.
It's a shame because I actually wanted to pull for them since they've never won a SB, but now I just can't wait to see Cam's face when they lose in the playoffs.
It's going to happen. Both Cardinals and Seahawks would beat them IMO.
