You can't say the media is shy about the Titans this year. We are getting some premeire games, even if we aren't the feature team.

Didn't the Oilers and Cowboys play each other almost every preseason? This year seems to be a stroll down memory lane.

August 21 at Dallas in the debut of the new Cowboys Stadium on FOX.

I can't wait to see the debut of the Jerry Jones House of Ego!:crazy

I would have liked to go for the hat trick playing the Hags opening day. Nothing better than putting their dunce hats on and sending them to the corner right out of the gates. It was becoming tradition. Primetime opener isn't bad though.

I would much rather not play a division opponent on opening weekend. You just never know how prepared you are, and it is a tough loss in the standings if you don't win.

I love the idea of playing the Steelers first, especially on the road. It just seems easier to pull off a good upset in the first game than later in the season. If the Titans do win, it's a great quality road victory. If they lose, it's just a road loss to a tough team that doesn't really hurt the team.

If the Steelers were in the NFC maybe.

yes i know...but for people like me (if there are any, lol) that fly to every home game, the dates are more important then who we play @ this point, :lolhit

It still doesn't really hurt your chance of winning the AFC South. If the Titans win the next 15 games, they win the division regardless of what happens in Pittsburgh. They could also win 14 and win every AFC South game.

I just prefer to play them early when it doesn't matter as much as opposed to late where home field advantage is on the line (like last season).

Does anyone know why we play Green Bay every preseason? I've always wondered if there was a specific reason.

We probably just have a good relationship with that team.

The Eagles almost always play the Jets, Patriots, and Steelers. This is the first time since 2002 they don't play the Steelers.

Unlike the regular season, teams have some flexibility with what teams they want to play in the preseason.

Should've known one of the Boys preseason games would go national. Kind of a spoiler, I had hoped they would keep the games local until the home opener. Oh well.

We have 5 because the Titans were picked for the Hall of Fame game.

Remember when our team stomped the Cowboys on Christmas night while wearing the Red Jerseys?

I can still see it,

Beautiful, man...

Does anyone find it strange that we have to play Cleveland on the road? The Titans are already going to Canton (an hour away from Cleveland), and then they have to go back a few weeks later. I just would have prefered not to visit the same area twice in a preseason.
