Your 2008 AFC South Division Champion Tennessee Titans

by Jimmy on Dec 7, 2008 3:35 PM CST in Recaps Comment 13 comments

Goal #1 accomplished. With the 28-9 win over the Cleveland Browns today, the Titans are your 2008 AFC South Division Champions.

The game today was painfully boring at times, but getting the win was all that matters. The Titans racked up 235 yards on the ground and would have had both Smash and Dash over 100 yards if it weren't for a -1 run from LenDale at the end.

The defense was really good again only allowing the Browns to gain 35 yards on the ground and 178 yards of total offense.

It is good to be the champs again, and it is even better to not have to listen to Colts fans talk about how many times in a row they have won the AFC South. Enjoy the win, and cheer for the 49ers and Cowboys. A 49ers win over the Jets clinches a first round bye.

August will have links in the morning, and I will have a full recap around lunch time.

Congrats

Best record in the league, that’s pretty impressive. It’s certainly going to be hard for anyone in the AFC to get past you.

yawwnnn

i really like how the titans have handled the last couple games. they’ve definitely been boring (from an objective perspective), but it’s impressive how they are handling weaker teams like they should and not just squeaking by.
anyways, now that the division is locked up and homefield is looking better and better, i am glad that these last 3 games are going to be tough so we can get in to that playoff mentality.

Titans have ALWAYS been boring

Remember 99? Eddie George, Steve McNair? Boring style of football. But they went to the friggin Super Bowl…repeat after me, S.U.P.E.R. B.O.W.L. If that’s what boring get’s you, I’ll join the chess club tomorrow

I went to my kids Christmas concert during the game

I was disappointed it was scheduled during game time, but it sounds like it was rather mundane anyway. So, I enjoyed the concert and came home to find out the Titans clinched. THat is a good day in my book. It seems anti-climatic to play anymore reg season games now. I am thrilled that the Titans have set out what they had as their first priority. It feels good. Yes and the Giants lost, hmmmm Philly is still hanging on.

Pittsburgh week will be for home field......

And I can imagine that Fisher wouldn’t want it any other way.

The Jets game was a wake up call, but the stretch begins now. Any Titans fan will be happy with the 2008 AFC South leader (I can’t say “champion”, division leaders aren’t "champions, they just won the division), but we’ve been here before. The next few weeks we’ll find out if this is the team to finally get it done.

Smash and dash looked outstanding today, and I still can’t believe that Crazy Legs still has his fifth gear at week thirteen. This is a good sign.

And I still can’t believe what a great draft pick CJ was. Just amazing.

TITANS!!!!!!!

Homefield advantage is huge, it can't be underestimated

It means even more during playoff games. I am worried about complacency setting in. It is hard for that not to happen when you play teams like the Lions and the Browns. Hopefully they will be geared up for what is coming.

Well done fellas, now these last few weeks....

They will tell a lot about this team – I hope Fish and the rest of the team keep the throttle going, it’s important to play with the same intensity for these last few games since our next meaningful game is a distant 5 weeks away. All 3 of these games are going to be tough: Houston’s offense is looking much better these days, I can’t wait to see us against the Steelers, that game has all the looks of a 13-6 chessmatch, and lastly Indy is always a great matchup – they’re not quite as good as they’re being hyped right now but they’re definitely a very strong team. All in all, 2 away division games and a game against the #2 team in the AFC is a tough way to finish out the schedule, but at least we’re assured of the bye.

As a side note, you know you’re a true Titans fan if the prospect of a 13-6 chessmatch excites you

Congrats

obviously great job clinching the division.

Although, I don’t think you will have heard the end of the whole “five time division winners,” lol. Something tells me it will be brought up just as much but to marginalize your accomplishment this year.
