Cleveland Browns @ Tennessee Titans: My Thoughts

PrintThis is yet another game that presents a lot of favorable match-ups for the Titans. The Browns have a bad run defense, and the Titans need to continue to get back to the smash mouth style of offense that they need to play if they are going to make a deep run in the playoffs. Look for Crazy Legs to run the speed game early, and The Round Mound to hit them in the mouth in the 2nd and 4th quarters.
The Browns aren't good against the pass on defense either. The Titans will pass just enough to keep them honest, but I don't see them throwing the ball a whole lot.
The Browns offense has been bad all year and now Ken Dorsey is their starting quarterback. The Titans will get after Dorsey early and often to make sure he has no chance to get into any type or rhythm. Dorsey will throw at least 2 picks in this game.
The other key for the defense will be stopping Jamal Lewis. Lewis is one of my archenemies having played for my least favorite college team (Tennessee), and one of my least favorite NFL teams (Ravens). Lewis hasn't had nearly the success he had this season, and if the Titans can hit him in the mouth a couple of times early he will be a non-factor.
The scariest part of this football team is running back/wide receiver/quarterback Joshua Cribbs. He is explosive returning kicks and runs lines up at quarterback in their Wild Brown formation. The Titans have done a good job against some really good return men this season, and I don't expect that to change Sunday.
This is another game where the Titans will roll as long as they take care of the football.
Prediction: Titans 34 Browns 6

I feel like
if we could contain Hester we can handle Cribbs. Hopefully anyway.
Titans 31 Browns 3
The PAIN TRAIN is comin baby!
Brownies
The Browns SUCK and never should have had a franchise brought back to Cleveland after the Ravens left. They are terrible year in and year out. Prediction——Titans by however many we want!
Someone once said "Vince Young bleeds two toned blue!" But I disagree, because The Great One Doesnt Bleed!!

But how did a bad Browns team keep the Colts out of the end zone?
Something had to give? Or are the Colts just as bad?
Granted, the 3rd QB on the team will be playing, but it was the Defense that kept the Colts out of the end zone all day.
I agree that the Titans CAN win this game and SHOULD win it like they did in Detroit, but the Browns aren’t the Lions.
Browns run defense vs the Colts run game
is not near as much of a mismatch as the Titan run game vs the Browns run defense.
I hate Music City Miracles!
you need to learn not to say updated standings tomorrow if you aren't going to update the standings the next day

That is a valid point
They are coming momentarily

IS there any way...
the Browns have a legitimate shot to win this game? Outside of natural disaster befalling half the Titans, or a new NFL rule spoting teams with no logos on their helmets a twenty point lead, I can’t see how this game is even competitive. It shouldn’t even be broadcast until after 10pm so innocent children don’t see the carnage.

colts struggled a lot because of the weather
at least that’s how i saw it. we are built for the muck if any team is, so i don’t think we should be worried. we will have to play our worst game of the year to lose this one.
Sorry about the negative vibes
I didn’t see the Colts game and just didn’t see how they didn’t score. I’m sure we’ll see a lot of Smash and Dash and maybe Simms in the 4th.
Simms?
Really? Do you mean the game Sims, where the Browns from 1986 play this Titans team and actually win? Smash & Dash against Mack and Byner, Kozar versus Collins. Now THERE is a Browns/TItans game worth watching, because this one will be crap.
Or did you mean Chris Simms?
