Jaguars 28 Titans 13

by Jimmy on Nov 11, 2007 8:33 PM CST in Tennessee Titans News

It has taken me until now to have the desire to get on here and write anything. That was a terrible game that reminded me a lot of the start of last season. That sound you heard in the background was Albert Haynesworth's asking price going up. It is pretty obvious that our run defense starts with him. He was out and we got torched.

The good thing is the Titans are still right in the thick of the playoff race. The Colts are getting blasted 23-0 by the Chargers as I write this. That makes today's loss hurt even more because if they do lose, the Titans would have been tied for 1st in the division.

Anyways, I need to wait until tomorrow before writing more. Would you like to hear the best news of the day? Joy Kat is no longer allowed to comment on the site. He/She was obviously just here to troll. In the words of Hawk Harrelson....SHE GONE!! Have a good night.

HIYOOOOOOOO

Peyton has thrown half as many picks in the 1st half tonight as Vince has all season.

I think we have our answer..

To the Brady/Manning debate..
Manning isn't quite as good as usual without his wideouts.

Christmas came early this year!

We're still just one game out of first if this sticks.. Thank you Vinatieri.

I can't believe Vinatieri missed that 29 yarder...

I found to be incredibly annoying, but was fairly civil. Not sure about trolling. The thing that was so annoying was that, even if kat was 100% right, it is still gonna be insufferable if every single post you make is saying the same thing over and over again.

For VY to be having the kind of year he is having, it's remarkable that we are in contention. He got 41 pass attempts today, and finally a passing touchdown - completed about 60%. Looked out of synch on some patterns with receivers.

If they will just practice the crap out of the passing game, we may take the division yet. Colts and Jags both have enough issues to make it very possible.

VY looked so much better in the 2 minute drill.

I wonder what's up with that. He and the receivers can't get on the same page to save their lives, and then they suddenly shift to the 2-minute, and he' finding everybody. Granted, he still made some mistakes, but he looked MUCH better.

But man, that was sad. It's SO hard to win a game when you can't stop the run and therefore can't get your D off the field. THAT was the reason the Titans lost.

60%

A 60% completion percentage is not that bad. What really concerned me was the picks he threw because that was simply terrible decision making.

However, I am encouraged; 60% is an improvement on last year. Also, I think it shows that VY can make the throws when throws enough passes to get warmed up and in a rhythm.

oh yeah

BTW, our run defense was horrible this game. I knew all season that Haynesworth was a big part of our defensive turn around, but wow... we need to extend his contract NOW.

The problem with VY was that...

...he was in spots where he HAD to take chances to make plays. They were down by two scores and not stopping anybody. So VY not only had to throw, he had to throw recklessly, trying to make something happen. See also: what happened to Manning yesterday.

When you force an offense to be one-dimensional, they are going to struggle. (No run game) + (down by two TDs) = Defense able to T-off on QB. And that's what happened.

VY played okay. Not great, but he was hardly the worst player on the team yesterday. He threw for 250+ yards and ran for another 50. That last INT was a desperation heave. I mean, bottom line, the guy is a young QB without a lot of help on Offense. He has Justin Gage and sometimes Bo Scaife. Other than that, he was practically out there by himself. Even Kevin Mawae had a bad game!

the only problem with 60% is

A lot of them are very short passes, less than 3 yards down the field. We all know that we need better production from him.

Jimmy- Thank you for dumping Joy Kat!

Axl Rose: the voice of reason...

'Just a little Patience . yaeeeeeaaahhhhhh'

VY will have games like this, but I thought he did quite well considering the 3 things Jeff Fisher's teams MUST do to win (run the ball efficiently, dominate T.O.P., and stop the run) were not done at all...

Vince is still as green as green can be for this league, and having wide receivers who hurt more than help maes him look worse.

In time he'll improve, but that means taking some lumps right now.

Also, for the first time this year, I think Norm Chow got 100% out-coahced. I hope that was a fluke.

I agree

I agree with you about Norm Chow getting out coached. I am willing to let it pass, but I hope it's a fluke like you said. I think he really out coached Jacksonville in the first game, so I guess they got revenge all the way around.

I am definitly patient with VY. But sometimes I do have to remind myself that before this season I would've never thought we would be on our way to the playoffs.

Joy Kat; passing game

Glad you made the move to ban Joy Kat.

I think yesterday's game (and the Colts-Chargers game) showed how important it is to have playmakers at receiver. VY could use an experienced receiver to help him overcome his shortcomings. Drew Bennett sure could help VY right now.
