Do you not grasp any reality at all? Since 2002 you are a whopping 2 games better. Whooptie fickin do.
And you obviously have no clue about Bud Adams because he's been ripped with regularity for his micromanagemnt blunders of the Oilers/Titans for his entire tenure.

I don't know about that. The only time I remember Bud Adams getting involved was when he wanted Vince because of the Texas connection. Jeff Fisher is the one making decisions and that is why Floyd Reese was fired because there was a power struggle between Reese and Fisher.
He had a tendency to micromanage the Oilers, which brought him considerable scrutiny since he had no background in the sport. For example, he required personal approval of any expenditures of $200 or over.
The 1997 season in Memphis proved to be almost as disastrous as the prior years in the Astrodome had been. Whether it was out of disappointment at their own city's numerous failures to get professional football in its own right, or their longtime rivalry with and disdain for Nashville was the primary culprit, Memphians showed almost no interest in the Oilers. Nashvillians balked at traveling 210 miles to see "their" team, especially since Interstate 40 between the two cities was undergoing a major reconstruction near Memphis at the time. As a result, the Oilers played before some of the smallest NFL crowds since the 1950s. For many games, there appeared to be more visiting fans than Oiler fans.
I'm not getting involved in this pissing contest but what exactly does this show about Bud Adams and his micromanaging skills.
Forget 1-3-5-10-20 years
How about we talk all time?
Redskins: 537-494-27
Titans: 363-371-6
Hmm looks like the Titans have more losses then wins overall, or what we like to call in the sports world a losing record, or below .500. Combine that with the fact you have goose egg SB rings= pretty mediocre orginization
BTW you never brought up how many HOFers the Titans have?
Organized so well to send you guys home after the 2002 AFC Championship game
Drafting/signing role players and trading picks/overpaying are two totally different ways of running a franchise. Judging by the 96-64 record versus the 76-84 record in a much weaker conference, and judging by exactly how many of those overpaid veterans actually lived up to their contracts, the Titans have done a much better job running their organization, and it's not even close. We spend less money and win more games with a younger team. Do you get that yet?
The Titans haven't been considered an actual contender this century by anyone that knows anything about football. No one was even considering them this year.
The redskins were getting more pub through week 12 than the undefeated Titans. That should tell you something.

here's some more interesting stats:
The Titans only got 4 out of 8 picks from the espn.com crew to win the first playoff game. AccuScore and fans also picked AGAINST them.
NFL Football Expert Picks - National Football League - ESPN
The Titans were easily a contender. No one will agree with you there.
