Titans 47 Lions 10: The Recap

Smashdash_medium

Well this game was pretty much over on the second play of the game when the Titans defense recovered a fumble.  Two plays later, a Brandon Jones 28 yard run and a Chris Johnson 6 yard TD run, it was 7-0 Titans, and they would never look back.  This was a game the Titans very much needed after getting beat by the Jets last week and after a few weeks of getting away from what the Titans do best.

The Titans defense did allow the Lions some hope on the next drive when they allowed them to get a field goal, but 4 plays later Crazy Legs took the ball 58 yards untouched for another touchdown.

The funniest play of the day was the screen pass that Dave Ball intercepted and ran back for a touchdown.  He did some type of flying turkey as he crossed the goal line.  I love to see him make plays because you never know what he type of celebration he will end up doing.

As predicted by me, LenDale White got his share of carries in the game yesterday.  Smash ended the game with 23 carries for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Those 2 TDs gave him 13 for the season and moved him into a tie for the league lead with Michael Turner.  He even got to take a handoff from Vince Young.  VY had the best day of his career with a QB rating of 118.8.  Quarterback controversy?

A few other notes:

  • CJ now has 958 yards rushing on the season to lead the AFC
  • I could have down without Jeff Fisher challenging the completion to Calvin Johnson and the waive that followed.
  • Why did they try to throw at the end of the 2nd quarter on 3rd and 1?

Again, I realize this was against the Lions, but it was a good opportunity for the Titans to get back to what they do best.  They face 2 more weak rushing defenses in the next 2 weeks, so expect more of the same in those games.  That should give them the momentum and confidence needed to finish out against two tough teams.

yeah...

I don’t mind fisher coaching his football team and not letting up. . . that’s not his style. I know that blowouts are embarrassing, but there’s no reason to ‘let up’ just because your team is winning the game. The wave was obviously a ‘hey, I know the 7 of you left in the stands up there don’t like this decision, but deal with it’ kind of thing. No harm in it…

Yeah

It didn’t make me mad, but I could have done without it.

4th Qtr Challenge

During the Jets game, Nance and Sims mentioned several times that Fisher coaches his team to play hard and not look at the scoreboard. I think the challenge was a “walking the talk” moment…more a statement to his team that demeaning to Detroit.

Florio says that the Titans could have hung 100 on the Lions if they'd really tried.

I’m not so sure about that math, but certainly there were some more points there to be had. But to score 100, you need 4 TDs and a FG, which is one TD about every 4 minutes. I’m not sure the Titans could have done that without going to the hurry-up.

That should read *14* TDs and a FG.

Kendale White-Detroit Lions Game Recap

I love the Titans. You have to believe me. But I think Kendale White has to get his act together. He made some rude remarks about Jeff Fisher on Sportscenter, saying " I don’t know what happened in this game. I onlt got in in three plays." Well guess what? The first three plays you were in on were freaking horrible! You got one play where you were running up the middle, and you got -1 yard! Nice run! Another play was when you had the ball thrown right fricking to you, with no one around AT ALL, and you fricking dropped it! What it this? Fricking practice? No! You did it yourself, and I’m glad the next day you apologized on Sportscenter, because I would have hated you from then on.

A couple was told to individually write a sentence using the words 'sex' and 'love.' The woman wrote 'When two people love each other very much, like Bob and I, it is morally acceptable for them to engage in sex.' And Bob wrote 'I love sex.'

Well, the whole Jets game was a disaster.

I know this because I work in Manhattan, and my co-workers—every damned one of them—they ALL made sure to tell me about how amazingly crappy my team looked—all damn day on the Monday afterwards. Some reminded me more than once.

So you see, LenDale’s comments were hardly the worst things to happen that day.
