Tennessee Titans 24 Jacksonville Jaguars 14 Quick Recap
10-0. That is pretty incredbile. This team proved again today that they can win when they don't bring their A game. That first half was the worst half of football I have seen the Titans play in a long time, but they overcame that and rolled in the second half. The defense, as has been their custom this seaosn, gave up some really bad plays but only gave up 14 points.
There wasn't a lot of running room again today, but bizzaro receiver world contiued with Brandon Jones and Lavelle Hawkins dropping passes and Justin Gage making big plays. Gage finished with 147 yards and 2 touchdowns. Welcome back 12 Gage. Kerry Collins proved once again that he can win a ball game with 230 yards passing and 3 touchdowns.
Another week another win. It wasn't pretty, but it counts just like the rest of them.
Links and a full recap in the morning.

Great Win Inspired By A Bunch Of Castoffs
Justin Gage, unwanted in Chicago, has a career day with two back breaking deep ball TD’s.
Chris Carr, dumped by Oakland (who hired and fired MeAngelo during Carr’s absence) comes out, shakes off the early jitters and makes the game sealing interception.
And that other ex-Raider, Kerry Collins puts up another monster day with 21 straight unanswered in the second half.
The Tennessee Titans will take your tired, hungry and poor and turn them in to champions.
10-0.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

After 1st half
i was sure we would lose our 1st game this season
No offense, banged up defense
but titans proved me wrong
Titans might not win as pretty as Giants do but we always find a way to win
10-0 (wow it feels great to say it), 3 games ahead of entire AFC, 4 games ahead of entire AFC south
Another tough task next week against Jets

The Titans haven't had a receiver catch over 120 yards since...
2004 – Week 15
Billy Volek threw to Drew Bennet for 160 yards when we played the Oakland Raiders… and guess who was behind center for the Raiders?
Got this stat from gotitans27 awesome stat site.

nice to see a couple long passes
still wish we would swing the ball out to cj in the flats a little bit more to get him his touches. he’s taken quite a beating these last few running between the hashes. gotta love how he finishes runs, but at the same time we gotta keep him healthy.
also, fatty looked great running the ball in the 4th. give that man a cheeseburger.
haynesworth also looked better than he has the last few games. i guess the food must be good in jacksonville.

Watching NFL Network they talked about CJ and Lendale
They said Lendale is the toughness of our offense. The last couple games we ran CJ almost exclusively in the first half hoping for a big play but gained very little usable yardage.

Bullsh!t Call
Any word on why Brandon Jones got an call on his endzone celebration? It didn’t seem ridiculous to me.

You can't go to your knees or otherwise roll around on the ground for a celebration.

Man, that 1st half was U-G-L-Y.
Terrible, terrible football. YUCK! I think the worst part was seeing the way the Titans Offense ended. I mean, they could have AT LEAST tried something beside CJ up the middle on 3-and-short. That was ridiculous!
That said, this is the second week in a row where LenDale has been the better back. Not that CJ isn’t very good, but against the better run-defenses, he tends to get stuffed in the hole. Whereas LenDale will at least fall forward or push the pile for three yards, leading to 3rd-and-short if you run it twice. Personally, I’d like to see LenDale getting more carries in the first half, although to be fair, his effectiveness might be better at the end of games because the defense is tired AND he’s heavy.

i think it can also work the other way
the defense gets tired from lendale leaning on them in the first half, and then they can’t catch cj in the 2nd. i really would like to see LDW more early in the game. he was getting the man yards yesterday though.

Bad Blood
Last minute of the game Fisher could’ve called the victory formation and run out the clock, instead we continued to give the ball to Smash and rub it in.
Wycheck mentioned it last night and he even said Jeff Fisher is the Jag’s daddy. :D
Go Titans!

yeah, but...
the jags still had a time out left, i think fish was just waiting to see if they were going to use it. once he knew they weren’t, collins kneeled down. if the guy with the “nice smile” was offended, he needs to get over it.

Transplanted Titans fan
I was at the game in Jacksonville. I was amazed at how many other Titans fans there were. It was wonderfully delicious to see the Jags fans shuffle to the exits after the final Gage touchdown, another round after Garrard got sacked at the end, and hear many fans scream “Fire Del Rio!” At the end, the stadium emptied quickly except for the Titans fans. We were busy doing the fan-equivelant of dancing on their 50-yard line. We were celebrating by taking pictures with other Titans fans we just met as the players walked off the field. We were all slow to leave, just soaking up the feeling of 10-0. It was a lot of fun.

Great second half yesterday!
I’m not going to talk about the first half.
