Can the Tennessee Titans stand prosperity?

The Tennessee Titans have a bye week this week, and so far, the season couldn't have gone any better. They've posted a 5-0 record while the rest of the teams in the AFC South have struggled. The Indianapolis Colts are in second place, but they have two losses.

Next week, the Titans return to action with a game at Kansas City, which is only 1-4 and has a terrible offense. However, the following week, the Colts come to Nashville for the biggest game of the season so far.

The big question to be answered is: How will the quarterback situation unfold? Vince Young is getting healthier and will likely be ready for the Chiefs game. Coach Jeff Fisher has indicated that he will stick with Kerry Collins as long as he is winning. How will this go over with Young? Will it cause dissension on the team? Will the players take sides?

There are lots of questions to be answered, but I believe I will pause this week and enjoy the fact that the Titans are unbeaten. All those other questions will be answered soon enough.

This week's picks: New Orleans over Oakland, Philadelphia over San Francisco, Dallas over Arizona, New England over San Diego, Washington over St. Louis

Last week: 4-2 (.667), Overall: 18-11 (.621)

The Colts looked impressive in thumping the Ravens 31-3 today. They appear to be rounding into form, making their visit to Nashville in two weeks all the more exciting.

What a great Football Sunday! The Cowboys lost (in spectacularly unique fashion); the Falcons did the jaws of victory/jaws of defeat thing (I'm pulling for the post-Vick Falcons); and the Jets were bedecked in their Titans of New York regalia for the second week in a row (should we start calling the Jets "Titans 2"?).

Reckon what JF did about the on-field and sideline pushing and shoving amongst teammates during the last Titans game? If I and any one of my teammates had done that when I was playing ball in high school, we would've run laps 'til we puked at the next practice, and we might not've played during the next game. Reckon JF will do something like that?!
