Talk:Steelers–Titans rivalry

Expanding the article

I stumbled onto this orphaned article by accident. There are many ways we can expand this article.

Yes, the Renfro catch is certainly worth mentioning, but what about the House of Pain years? The rather mild-mannered Chuck Noll was reportedly ready to fight Jerry Glanville over how he had his team treat others. Not to mention that Bill Cowher and Jeff Fisher had a decent rivalry going on for a while (though theirs was more friendly than Noll-Glanville). The two teams do still meet somewhat regularly, as even in years when the AFC North and AFC South aren't assigned to play each other, the two teams often had the same division placing from the previous year and end up playing each other.

At the end of the day--and this is a Steelers fan saying this--this article is more for the Oilers/Titans franchise than the Steelers. We have bigger fish to fry with the Ravens, and the Bengals aren't pushovers anymore. (That role goes to Cleveland.) The Titans never have really established any rivalries with anyone in the AFC South. The Rooney's wanted to keep the Titans at the 2002 realignment, but that would've came at the expense of the Ravens--the Steelers had to be placed in the same division as the Bengals and Browns as a result of the Cleveland Browns relocation controversy. If the NFL ever went back to five team divisions, I would want the Titans in a heartbeat. They still seem out of place in the AFC South with high-octane teams in Indianapolis and Houston, plus the pushovers in Jacksonville. Over a decade after realignment, and they are still an old-school AFC Central team: focused on the running game offensively, with a hard-hitting smash-mouth defense. The way football should be played. Jgera5 (talk) 04:41, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
