Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts Statistical Preview

...but it's a game that you honestly hate to need.  I can think of three plays this year where a change to any one of them makes this a completely different season: Brandon Jones's drop in the first Indy game, the failed stop on 3rd-and-long vs. the Bucs, and the damned CBS review-truck thing vs. the Chargers.  Against the good teams, those little things are killers.

For as much as this team has had more success this year than it's had in a while, I still think they've underachieved.  The Defense has been great, but the run/pass mix has been weird all season--at least for me.  We saw last week that LenDale White can pick up a 3rd-and-6 on the ground, and that's the kind of thing they used to try to do a lot.  I hope we see more of that and less of the predicatable run, run, pass.  Either get in the spread and let Vince be Vince or get in two TE's and play POWER FOOTBALL.  That mixing of philosophies has been disastrous on Offense.  The Offensive personnel just are not there yet.  And by now, opposing teams have seen that same basic approach all season, and they're playing against it well.  They're all looking for that short/possession passing game on 3rd Down.  Argh.  What a crapshoot.

More than anything, I hope the Titans commit to inside power running this weekend.  Make Bob Sanders either come up to stop it or leave the game early.  That and along with press coverage and another dominant performance by KVB, AH, and A. Odom will seal the deal... starters or no starters.

I hope they lose to us in the playoffs.
