Colts 23 Titans 0: Write Your Own Recap

That was worse than watching a preseason game because it was just as boring and it actually counted.  It was nothing short of abismal, but it was what it was.  There was never more than half of any starting unit on the field at the same time.  I am not going to spend a lot of time worrying about how they looked. 

There will be a lot of talk about what that does for momentum.  I don't think it does much for either team but only time will tell.  The Titans proved last week that they are good enough on both sides of the ball to play with anyone in the NFL.  That was the confidence builder they needed heading into the playoffs.

I also don't want to spend a lot of time breaking down the performance of Vince Young.  In the limited action he saw, he looked pretty much the exact same as last year.  A lot of his passes were off target, and he was too slow deciding when to tuck it and run.  He still doesn't appear to have any confidence in himself.  I know he says otherwise, but that is just my opinion from watching him play.

Now we have a week to sit and wait.  13-3, an AFC South Championship, and the #1 seed in the playoffs is a heck of a regular season.  Here's to hoping that is just the beginning.

DUDE!

Let’s all get f’in excited for crying out loud!

If you were to tell me in August we’d win even 10 games this year and be in the playoffs I’d be stoked. If you told me we’d have our record and the #1 AFC seed riding into our off week in the playoffs, I’d not believed it.

Here’s to kicking some ass in the postseason!

your right - that was awful

vince was unimpressive at best. i hope this puts to rest the quarterback controversy. KC is clearly the better of the two. Its too bad we didnt’ see more of chris sims….

Completely disagree

I don’t think you can draw a conclusion from one game without the rest of the number 1’s around Vince.

KC is not “clearly the better of the two.” As someone else pointed out, the offense is run very differently with Vince under center. You’re asking the offense to adapt the offense in one week, and with the backups no less.

Look, Vince played poorly today. But, it’s clear to me at least that the success of this team was not because of KC. It was because of a nasty defense, a great offensive line, and the addition of Chris Johnson.

To conclude anything based on one performance without these elements is a mistake.

look at how well sorgi played though....

this was a great opportunity for vince to show the team that he has progressed. he hasn’t. with kc, you can at least throw to your wideouts. don’t get me wrong, i’m really gunning for vince. i think he’s an immensely talented athlete who should be a great nfl quarterback. i don’t feel that we would be heading into playoffs with homefield advantage if vince was starting all year….

sorgi was throwing to

harrison, clark, gonzalez, etc. for a while though.

we didn’t even have gage in there. you can’t expect vince to do anything if we don’t have anybody else in the game that is worth a damn. though his accuracy still sucks and his decisions are still WAY too slow. bottom line, the only thing to take away from this game is the receipt from the UPS store that fisher got after he mailed it in.

true....

but it’s not like the Colts had their “regulars” in either.

by gotitans27 on Dec 28, 2008 6:42 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

That's fair

And, you may be right. The problem we’ve seen with Vince is that he doesn’t know how to be a game manager. That’s not how he plays. With that, the team has a larger variance, I think. We might have had some bigger wins, but also some extra losses. I digress, though, because who really knows.

I guess I’m just saying we shouldn’t read too much into his performance this game w/o the rest of the team around him. Given what the front office has done in the last few years, I trust that they’ll have the best guy under center next year. For now, KC is the guy…

Sorry, but I disagree....

After watching VY play today I remember that taste I had in my mouth when he was playing in the opener (and the preseason). That taste of….he just doesn’t look confident or comfortable. In the opener I remember thinking they are winning despite his poor play. If he were the QB all season, there is no way we would be 13-3….none. Collins is able to hit receivers down the field much better than Young. Plus, it seems to me that he has the respect of the players more so than Young. Now, I know you are going to ask for a link….that’s why I said it looks to me.

I would of thought Young would of came out today with something to show and prove to the world. He didn’t. I agree that you can’t look at one body of work and make those decisions, but this is an NFL player in an NFL game. We’re not talking about a freshman redshirt in UT’s spring game. This is the big time and he had a chance to show something and he looked scared to death. I’ve said it before and I still mean it. I want Vince Young to be this team’s QB. I really do, but I really don’t know if it is ever going to happen again.

Superhorn, I know you are going to have a lot of opinions about this and I respect your opinions. I know you are a huge UT fan and like the Titans as well. I have my biases when it comes to the two or three Indiana Hoosiers playing in the NFL :-) , and I did the same with NBA players (back before Mike Davis and Kelvin Sampson screwed up the program) We follow these players in college and grow to really like them. We want them to be so successful in the NFL or NbA. Calbert Cheaney is probably my favorite athlete of all time. I always thought he should of been a better pro than he was. The fact of the matter was he wasn’t a great NBA player. His skills did not equate to what makes a great NBA player. I’m afraid VY may be the same type of player (I hope not).

by gotitans27 on Dec 28, 2008 6:37 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Agree with most of this

I thought the same thing. Vince came out today and didn’t have “it.” He didn’t have that look in his eye that he had in 2006. All of you know the look I’m talking about. The look that as long as he was on the field he was going to make sure we had a chance to win. He didn’t have that today.

Still, though, it’s hard to take too much from this. He was clearly frustrated because the offense couldn’t get any sort of rhythm. When the defense is on the field 40 mins of the game, that’s tough to find.

The most important thing people need to understand, I’ll say it again, we didn’t have all the starters on the O-line and we didn’t have CJ in the game. We NEED those elements to make a fair assessment. I want to see CJ and VY in the backfield at the same time, in the shotgun and watch the defense react. Give Vince the same advantages that Kerry has played with before we try to compare the two…

Not For Long right?

sorgi saw an opportunity and stepped up to the plate. vy has to realize that the windows of opportunity are few and far between in the NFL. lord help us if KC goes down and we really need him to step up. if your head or heart aint in it all the athleticism is meaningless.

this was a good opportunity for vince squandered. no excuses!

You're comparing apples and oranges

Although Reggie Wayne was on the sidelines, Sorgi still had Gonzalez, Harrison, and Clark at his disposal. That’s a lot more to work with than even our starting receivers.

A large part of this offenses success is due to Chris Johnson. If you disagree, you haven’t been paying attention. Consider a defense having to defend Vince and CJ out of the shotgun. That is infinitely harder than Vince and Lendale. Until we see that combination, we can’t be objective in comparing the two…

by SuperHorn on Dec 29, 2008 8:37 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I agree with you SuperHorn

Sorgi was throwing to receivers that Titan defenders must have determined could not catch, therefore chose not to cover AT ALL.

Vince go no help from anybody. And of course that is all his fault.

That game was Snakes On A Plane bad. There is nothing that can be taken from it on anyone’s performance. Nothing.

we looked awful, non-competitive even, against a division rival

fisher can talk about “playing to win” to the media during the week before the game all he wants, but that’s not what happened on the field today. we looked like the cardinals in the snow in new england effort-wise.

however, if we come out breathing fire in two weeks none of it will matter. one thing we can say is that we didn’t have any franchise players loaded into an ambulance wearing a neck brace and a back board, so it could be worse. now for 2 weeks of hand wringing…..

The biggest disappointments

Were losing like that to our greatest divisional rival, and having Fisher misrepresent his intentions. He clearly didn’t give a shit about winning the game and he should have actually prepared for it instead of giving everyone the day off for Christmas and phoning in a gigantic egg. It would have also been nice to see something promising from VY, but it just wasn’t meant to be.

What happened after today’s game is that our backups probably feel like the most useless turd burglars in the league. If we need to call on them to step up in the playoffs, are they likely to feel confident about their play? Not likely, not after today. I know I wouldn’t.

That being said, there will be no lack of effort preparing for the AFC Divisional Round. And Fisher has myriad ways to get players up for a game. I just think that his approach this week was a big letdown and a mistake. Hopefully, not a fatal one.

This loss...

means nothing. I hate losing to the Colts, but this is the way to do it. In a meaningless game where we hardly play our regulars.

I think our offense was very vanilla and we really didn’t show anything. I kind of thought we might do some more gadget plays and stuff, but we didn’t.

My worry going into the postseason is our pass defense. I think we are often exposed when teams throw quick passes. We don’t have time to get a rush, and our corners are often play deep. Favre picked us apart with it, and the Colts did early on today. I don’ t know what we will do to help with this, but it is my biggest concern.

What a great regular season. We are the number one seed going into the playoffs. Not bad at all!

Short Passes

I wouldn’t be surprised if Schwartz had a plan for his, but decided to go with a basic vanilla defense.

I would be shocked if he wasn’t ready for teams to attack us that way after the Jets beat us with it.

Well I didn’t watch a single play of this game so I can’t speak to our performance but I don’t think there’s any need to read into today’s performance. Didn’t we have an awful preseason? Correct me If I’m mistaken, but didn’t our 1st team offense not score a TD the entire preseason? Looks like today the whole team couldn’t even manage a field goal so I’m sensing a trend here when the games don’t matter.

That said, I hope the players rest up during the bye and make good decisions. This team is capable of winning the super bowl, it’s all going to come down to preparation, execution, and maybe a little bit of luck. Go Titans!

by jeanl0uis on Dec 28, 2008 9:24 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I think you guys are overracting about Vince

Was he good? Not really. He sure didn’t run that bad (5 carries for 25 yards) and he didn’t turn the ball over, although he did fumble once.

In other words, he wasn’t Tony Romo today.

Also, a lot of you guys point out that one of the big differences to this offense was Chris Johnson. VY did not have Chris Johnson. Nor did he have Mawae at center or other players, nor did he have the opportunity to really get into a rhythm as the defense failed to get the Colts off the field. Their time of possession advantage was huge in the first half.

Do you really think you guys would have looked any better, all things being equal, with Kerry Collins in? It’s not like Bironas magically nails that field goal if he’s in. If you made a straight swap for VY with Collins, the Titans still get whipped today.

VY’s stats were mediocre, but he wasn’t the reason the game was 23-0. Manning was the one who put the first ten points up for the Colts and then sat down. I think you guys are the victim of your own unrealistic expectations of what VY would look like this game.

nobody blames young for losing....that was a total team effort

We were just wanting to see a QB look better than the one that played most of last season, this preseason, and the opener. He just didn’t look as good as we hoped. Sure there are a lot of variables involved, but everyone that watched him play seems to agree that he did not look good. We were just hoping he would show some flare when he got the chance. I’m not criticizing him at all, I’m just disappointed. I want him to do well.

by gotitans27 on Dec 29, 2008 8:30 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Well put

I agree with both of you, actually. Given the talent around him, and how long the defense was on the field, you can’t pin this on him.

I was excited about seeing him on the field, though. I thought he was going to light it up. But, it was his mannerisms that concerned me. He lacked that fire and intensity that he had at Texas and as a rookie in 2006. Again, though, it could be circumstantial, ie he’s the back up, meaningless game, etc. Whatever the case, the Vince that breathed life into this organization was missing yesterday. It’s something that doesn’t show up in the stat line.

That said, my gut tells me that you put this guy in a pressure cooker situation like the playoffs when the team actually needs him and there is talent around him, you’d see a very different performance. Note that I am not suggesting a change, just pointing out that Vince tends to play best on the biggest stage.

by SuperHorn on Dec 29, 2008 8:46 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I'll just throw this out there:

I’ve seen enough of Vince Young. Far as I’m concerned, yesterday was his last, best hope to win me over as a fan. For now, count me in the club that wants KC (with all of his flaws) and Chris Simms as the understudy. And if that means they have to draft another “franchise” QB in the next two years, then so be it. VY has shown NOTHING, and he’s had plenty of chances.

I mean, look, yesterday Vince had:
 - The starting O-Line minus Mawae
 - B. Jones and J. McCareins
 - B. Scaife
 - LenDale White

He should have been able to find a way to put up at least three points, somehow, even with a vanilla offensive package. I mean, c’mon! That was the first Titans’ shut-out since 1999!

Easy, there.

From The Tennessean:

Fisher scoffed at talk of lost momentum and edge.

“Absolutely ridiculous,” he said. "If you rest guys and you go into the playoffs and you win the game, you are a genius because you rested the players. If you lose the game you lost it because you rested players. It makes no sense to me. The players will be ready to play.’’



“The only time I’m going to be upset is if we lose another game this year,’’ linebacker Keith Bulluck said. ”This game doesn’t mean anything."

These players don’t play in a vacuum. It isn’t Madden on Xbox. You hear about it every week…talking heads using the words “inspired football.” The comment above shows that the Titans were completely uninspired, from the coaching staff down. Pointing out who played is irrelevant if they were just going through the motions. Are you going to tell me that these same players played at the same level they did during the Steelers game?

And, you’re missing the biggest point of all…the absence of CJ. More from The Tennessean:

The biggest difference, however, has been rookie running back Chris Johnson, whose explosiveness out of the backfield has created a strain on defenses and given his coaches reasons to smile.

The Titans have 10 plays of 40 yards or more this season, and five are running plays. They had just one such play last season — a 42-yard run by Chris Brown in the season opener.

"We just didn’t have that ability in the run game,‘’ Heimerdinger said.

Johnson is currently third in the NFL with 36 runs of 10 yards or more, trailing only Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson and Atlanta’s Michael Turner, each with 41. White has 13.

Missing a guy like that completely changes the way the offense performs.

Still, this was his big chance, and he blew it.

It was unimpressive, and he needed to come out on fire. Personally, I think he WANTS to leave Tennessee.

Yeah, I definitely was. I wanted to see Vince play if KC was gonna start to suck.

And now, having seen VY play, I can admit—with ease—that I was wrong.

Maybe I’m becoming a classic NYC knee-jerk fan, but I was really, really excited about seeing Vince play. But he wasn’t good at all.

Maybe

We’ll see. But, I doubt it. He’ll certainly be back next year because of the cap hit they’d take by cutting him and he has almost zero trade value right now. Beyond that, well here’s what Adams and Fisher said…

Link

“Vince will be the starter when he is ready to go, and when that happens will be up to the coaches,‘’ [Adams] said. "But we’re not trading him (or releasing him), because we’d be letting go of an outstanding player. He didn’t go downhill this quick. There’s never been any talk about trading Vince; I’d certainly want to see him play some more.”

Fisher this week repeated his comments from earlier this season, when he said he sees Young being behind center for the Titans again at some point and "becoming the quarterback that we drafted him to be.’’

by SuperHorn on Dec 29, 2008 1:11 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

It was disappointing

But very much like a pre-season game. In fact, worse that a pre-season game. Clearly neither coaches nor players cared about winning this one – they were all just going through motions. In a pre-season game, at least players are motivated to perform well individually since many of them are jockeying for spots.

I don’t have a lot of worries about them losing momentum, though. They’ll come out pumped for their first playoff game.

I wouldn’t read anything much into anyone’s performances from this game.

by numbertenox on Dec 29, 2008 12:21 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

it was EXACTLY like a preseason game

right down to the part where offense did zero while vince was in the game…. sorry too easy.

fair or not, i’m really beginning to think vince is done. he looks like a shell of himself out there personality-wise, and his play hasn’t improved in any quantifiable way that shows he is ready to play 16 games as a starter on a super bowl contender, which is what the titans ought to be for the next few years.

from my outsider perspective, the way vy has been a total persona non grata since KC took over tells me that fisher has moved on. and once fisher has moved on from you, you might as well move on too. best case scenario for vince is that he some how wins an open competition for the starter spot this offseason, which i can’t imagine him being able to do.

i want to see what he can do with just one full season under a legit OC as much as the next guy, but it just feels to me like he’s never gonna be “the guy” in tennessee again unless he plays his way back. can you even call a former OROY a bust? or is it just the soph. slump that never ends?

Disagree

But, I guess only time will tell.

What makes you say he’s been a total “persona non grata” this season?

Everything from the coaches is praise. And, while some may respond, “that’s coach speak,” I have to disagree. They could just not say anything at all. Bud Adams came out and spoke to the media just to let them know that Vince was here for the long haul. He’s done it twice this season. An owner doesn’t do that for no reason. He’s been silent about everyone else, as far as I know. Vince has been Bud’s guy from the getgo. Right or wrong, the kid’s a cash cow. He puts butts in seats. He always has the talking heads gabbing about him. I don’t see any way that Bud lets him leave without a second chance.

Bud Adams aside, I still get the feeling that the coaching staff is on his side. What have you seen/heard that tells you Fisher has “moved on”?

Because, here’s what I see. Vince is hurt. Has “emotional episode.” Fisher decides he’s not fit to play football, goes with Kerry. KC plays well. Vince gets healthy, but Fisher goes with the hot hand since they haven’t lost a game. I get the feeling that Fisher regretted putting Vince in too early as a rookie and saw an opportunity here once Kerry started winning. This is positive for Vince. He played poorly yesterday, but, when asked, all we hear from the Titans camp is that VY is the guy of the future. Until we hear something else, I don’t know why I’d believe anything different…

by SuperHorn on Dec 29, 2008 6:10 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

that's all my personal specualtion, by no means gospel

i just don’t think they are treating him like a guy who they are sold on as “the future”. a lot of it comes down to the fact that they only put him in really late in the lions game and in with the scrubs against indy. i would think if they thought he was still the imminent franchise qb, they would have taken every opportunity available to get him some playing time, but it has seemed the complete opposite. they have ignored chances to get him in the game and only played him in the most meaningless circumstances possible.
he is bud’s guy for sure, but even bud said it was up to the coaches as to when he came back, if ever. i just think that whole episode at the beginning of the season may have changed the way fisher looks at vince. maybe not. but with mcnair, no matter how off he was on any given sunday, he was always a warrior and always there for his teammates. if vince really did try to refuse to come back into the jags game, as it looked like he did to me from the stands, that’s the kind of thing that would cause fisher to move on. again, purely my speculation. i think fisher would have a guys back 110% until it became and issue of heart/desire, and maybe vince raised that question earlier this year. maybe. maybe.
i WANT to see vince succeed, very badly. i think that in the right system he could be dynamic. i just wonder what is really going on behind the scenes, because to me the “coach speak” doesn’t match how they have handled him this season.

When Brett Favre was in Green Bay...

They didn’t play Aaron Rodgers.

I’m not sold on the idea that just because he isn’t playing means they don’t think he’s the future. Fisher surely realizes that even if Vince plays in limited action, it could spark a controversy. Coach isn’t going to rock the boat. He’s going to stick with his starter who’s winning.

I can understand the stuff in the second paragraph (even though I disagree with it), but I don’t think Vince not playing while Kerry is winning tells us anything.

It's so hard to tell with the Titans

they keep their cards so close to their chests. None of the internal politics ever leak out. Even after “an event” is over (Volek saga, Mcnair lock-out saga, etc) you never really find out what happened when or who said what to whom when.

I think I like the fact that they keep their business to themselves, even if it leaves us fans scratching our heads a lot.

My gut leans me hal41605’s way on this one, though, but there’s so little to go on it’s just guessing.

I still don't buy it...

From ESPN

Adams told the Nashville newspaper that he has no intention of releasing Young before his contract expires after the 2011 season.

“He is a young guy and he is learning. He is still growing up,” Adams told the newspaper in an interview last week from his penthouse office in Texas. “Vince is under contract for three more years, so he is not going anywhere.”

It doesn’t add up. If there was intent to let him go, not start him again, etc, Adams would know about it. I can’t see Bud coming out and making an unprovoked, black and white statement like this if it was obviously undermining the coach and/or GM.

true

but it could also be a public vote of confidence for a guy they really aren’t sure about. If they’re only 50/50 on him being the future and the part you think is dicey is the emotional/mental stuff, you don’t want to tear the guy down – you want to prop him up.

I hate having a bye week. I’m glad we don’t have one. Good luck against the Ravens in your playoff game.

A bye week

is useful for dinged up team, and we are a little dinged right now.

Miami could beat Baltimore – you never know. Chargers could be trouble for you guys, too, if LT is really playing like the LT of old. Even though the Colts D is way better than the hapless Denver D, LT did look awfully nimble on his feet Sunday.

I hate the Chargers, though, so go get ’em.

Letting Lorenzo Neal go is the kiss of death for a RB.
