Yup. Just as - if not more - heated than 2006ish-current Ravens Steelers 

Ravens and Titans have given each other an amazing amount of soul crushing losses:

2000
Ravens beat no. 1 seed heavily favored Titans in AFC Divisional in TEN, infamous Ray pick of Georges bobble.

2003
Titans get revenge 20-17, beat DPOY Ray and 2000-yard rusher Jamal Lewis in BAL.

2008
Ravens get revenge, baby Flacco upsets no. 1 seed Titans 13-10 in TEN.

2019
Titans get revenge, upset heavily favored Lamar MVP season in BAL.

2020
Lamar gets revenge the following year, beating 2000-yard Henry 20-13 in TEN.

 

Each team winless at home.

Each team has the honor of beating the other teams most dominant regular season team: 2000 Titans were the best team in the league, as were the 2019 Ravens.

Each team beat the other teams season with a 2000 yard rusher (2003 Lewis, 2020 Henry).

Long live the AFC Central

The lesson is that home field advantage is overrated. Here's to no more home playoff games!

The 180s being done from this thread lol 

 

To be fair, it is not the same question to ask if you want to bring in Henry at the trade deadline in the middle of last season, or sign in him this offseason.

You would only bring him in last season as the finishing piece for a championship run.

Bringing him in this offseason still allows time to bring in complementary backs such as a 3rd down back who can catch passes.

Multiple people in the thread said they want no part of Henry, don’t want him as the starter walking into 2024, don’t want him on the team, he’s no better than Gus Edward, doesn’t bring anything to the offense. Thats pretty unilateral as far as acquisition goes.

If you were post digging that much surely you saw as many people saying that we wanted him before the deadline last year AND that we want him this offseason AND that we believe he is a CLEAR upgrade on Gus Edwards.

What's your goal from cherry picking like that?

So cool, will be fun to watch him and dude could be straight dominating in that offense with Lamar Jackson taking tons of attention of Henry.  Big boy move by the Ravens right there and honestly that is pretty cheap but what else is new, all the backs even if they are great are not getting huge money.  Great for the teams I guess, but no elite RB even comes close to $20 mil a year...  compared to WR where 16 guys get over 20 million a year and some way over that at 28-30 mil a year.

Who’s post digging? You just Google the website and Henry, Ravens, lol. I remember discussions from last trade deadline and seeing all sorts of pushback about how Gus was better than Henry, how the Ravens weren’t a fit for Henry, how Henry’s washed and lives off big runs. So I wanted to see who it was, and then I posted. Sorry if that upsets you, though I don’t know why it does if it wasn’t you.

If you want to call them out, fine, but they have stuck with their opinion in this thread, so I don't really see any hypocrisy here.

So, do a better job remembering and remember those who said Gus was just-a-guy and that Henry would be a massive upgrade.

Your narrow selective memory isn't the mainline

And then what? Give you all pats on back? Lmao

Never said anything was main or whatever. Just pointing out how things flipped for a few people. You can unclinch your pearls now. How dare anyone bring up things people have said on a forum!!!
