Titans 13 Ravens 10: Quick Recap

by Jimmy on Oct 5, 2008 3:17 PM CDT in Recaps

Championship teams win games when they don't have their best stuff. That is exactly what the Titans did today. This was a really ugly game, but the Titans hung in there and got the last laugh. I love it that we were able to do that against the Ravens.

This game raised a lot of questions within the team and with performance of some people on the team. It is good that the Titans have the bye week to sort all of that out before heading to Kansas City. I have no doubt that they will. The thing between Cortland Finnegan and Keith Bulluck that happened on the fieldn was more than likely just a heat of the moment thing and will probably be resolved before they get on the plane.

Enjoy this win. The Titans proved today that they can win a physical game, and come from behind even when they have been physically dominated for 3 1/2 quarters. 5-0 is pretty sweet.

I will have an open thread up tonight for the Steelers @ Jaguars game so be sure to stop back in for that.

First of all...

I cant fncking believe how stnpid the Texans are for losing their game. I pity the Texans fans.

Second, this win, our win, says Kerry Collins will start for the whole year unless he gets hurt. And dammit I hope he takes us deep in the playoffs.

and third, I hope the defense sort themselves out during the bye week because we can still not get to the playoffs if they act like they did in the 1st half.

Go Titans!

It's really too bad for us that

The Texans choked like that. We would have had an insurmountable lead over the Colts in our division.

Wow... 5 and 0

To put it all in perspective we only have to win 5 ot 6 more games to pretty much guarantee the Playoffs.

Of course, after today’s game I can see us going all the way.

Only sad thing is that now we have to wait two weeks to be 6 and 0.

I can’t imagine you guys don’t make the playoffs. I wouldn’t use the ravens as a measuring stick though for whether or not you can go all the way. Your first 5 games haven’t been the easiest, but they haven’t been too tough either. Enjoy your two bye weeks though. :)

Didn't the Ravens beat you guys?

Plus, I think the Ravens are one of our toughest challenges because they have a great defense and our offense is usually our weakest link.

Also, it’s about winning those tough games.

you made a valid point though

the ravens are (were) one of our toughest challenges on this year’s schedule

What are we looking at for injuries ?

KVB – groin?

Gage – will he be ready to go in two weeks?

Big Al – just tired late in the fourth ?

and has Crazy Legs officially taken over the role of RB ? Lendale did NOT look good at all today.

LenDale just didn't get the carries today

Wait until the monday nighter against that small indy defense. he’s going to steam roll those little linebackers…

Agreed. The running game as a whole should have a good game.

With no Sanders I could see CJ and Lendale running wild.

damn those colts

they should’ve been 0-4 right now!

Go Titans!

Probably looking a little bit too much into this...

but every time they showed VY on the sidelines today he was actually into the playbook with Dinger or cheering on the team…

I think it was that stupid personal foul call on the ravens first series that caused the D all there problems. It was a bull call, but again the D bends but doesn’t break. I was expecting the D to have a much better game on there rookie QB. Next game should be a real fun game to watch.

Go Titans!
