With the forum rules in mind of course. Let's just hope it drives him even harder on Sunday to help the team take a good lead in the division. Yup, almost an impossible subject to go into real depth on without violating forum rules. I'll just say that it disgusts me, for obvious reasons. Delanie is one of the best guys in the NFL, has done a ton of charity work and literally did a USO tour overseas a few months ago. And, since we are able to kind of talk about Delanie's comments without getting political as they were mainly just talking to fans, I'll add this. The backlash he's gotten is unreal. He didn't say I hope the fans don't show up. He legit just said that it's your choice to attend games and support the team. If you have a problem with anything that's happening, fine, don't come to the games. Which is entirely correct. How people twisted that into him insulting the fans is so far beyond me. But whatever, as I've found out from reading responses to virtually any tweet over the last week, Twitter is just a pit where the worst kinds of people can say whatever they want to human beings while shielding their identities. I love social media for the access it gives your average fan. And I hate social media for the access it gives your average fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to expect that the way he said it though. People are upset, and for good reason, him calling out those fans like he did just makes it worse. Let me add, those people doing what they did doesn't make it right, but I would have expected it 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really don't get the anger with Delanie's comments. He didn't even call out the fans, he said "if you feel like we're disrespecting you, don't come to the game." I just don't understand how someone manages to interpret that as an insult, yet apparently 1000s of people managed to take it that way. Edit: Alright, I can see how some people managed to take it that way. Because guys like Wolf went with the "And the fans that don't want to come to the game? Ok. Bye." as the headline rather than providing the complete quote. Admittedly, it's still 100% accurate and in no way offensive, but with just a partial quote it comes off a little more brash.

titans0021 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Anyways, it won't affect Delanie in any way. He's a pro. I doubt it adds any fire to his game, he's always going 100%. I'm just so tired of this subject eating up my twitter and facebook feeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansNvolsR#1 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hopefully all the "fans" like that leave the fanbase and become Patriots fans or something. Worst part about the internet.

titans0021 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 It honestly just bums me out. Delanie's such a good dude. The fact that the vast majority of his good deeds go entirely unnoticed but he gets partially quoted and torn apart by a large segment of the country is really, really sad.

TitanSlim Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Changing the topic abit, I absolutely hate that Deshaun Watson is a Texan. I was a fan of his in college and think he's going to become a pretty good QB. He always reminded me of Air McNair when watching him in college. Seeing how he gave his first game check to the cafeteria workers makes it even more difficult. I think I'll always be a fan of his and root that he has success, while the Texans as a team fails(Sunday vs the Patriots was perfect). Why couldn't he have just been drafted by the Chiefs? EDIT-And to be clear, I hope he has the worst game of his career Sunday and anytime he plays us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSS Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I actually don't think Watson ends up being a franchise guy. I think he can be an average player from the pocket, but I don't think teams are going to fear his arm. Williams being as good at the contested catch as he is really bailed him out in college.

You just called people who didn't like Delanie telling them to leave, "idiots." So agree with Delanie (who I love and is my AAT) and you aren't breaking forum rules. Disagree with Delanie and you are breaking forum rules? That is BIAS. Am I reading this correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it more as him talking about the people sending death threats to Delanie, not people who just solely disagree with him. But posts like this are probably why this discussion is warned against.

Disagree with Delanie and you are breaking forum rules? That is BIAS. Am I reading this correctly? It's not really breaking forum rules. He wasn't insulting any specific posters, more expressing his frustration with all of the fans that are boycotting. Or at least claim to be boycotting. And in general, if you're still posting on a Titans forum, you probably don't fall into that category. Admittedly, I'll take the blame on this one. Everybody on every side is just super sensitive to the issue, it's not really possible to have a fair discussion without moving directly into political waters. So I will ask that everyone (myself included) just leaves the protest stuff alone. Not much good can come from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct Sir! I love this team and have been a superfan/PSL owner since they called Vanderbilt field their home. Some dudes dropping to their knees doesn't impact my support one bit. Tip-toeing around the forum rules isn't fun for anyone. The only tip-toeing I'm interested in, is the Eric Decker Tip-Toe=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Williams helped him last year but he was just as good, if not better in 2015 without Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans fan 617 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Titans use to be the team to play to help get other teams back on track but I really hope this Sunday the Titans keep JJ Watts sackless streak alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
