Titans 24 Bengals 7 Quick Recap

It feels good to be 2-0. The Titans have typically been slow starters so it is a relief to see them win their first two.

Kerry Collins looked good today. His numbers weren't staggering, 14-21, 128, 1 TD, but he put up exactly the numbers this team needs from thier quarterback.

Chris Johnson was really good again. I think we will see a lot of games like this where he goes for carries of something like 2,3, 2, 4, and then 51. It is exciting every time he touches the ball.

This defense is outstanding. They gave up some yards today, but they were able to make the big plays when it counted. They said on the radio that Jason Jones got a piece of the missed field goal, and of course their was Keith Bulluck who blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown to put the ball away.

The special teams was pretty bad again, but we won't talk about that right now. Let's enjoy 2-0. August will have the links in the morning.

KC Stats

Actually, I think KC was 14/21 (not 12/21). In either case, those stats are a little better than they look because it was so windy that putting the ball in the air was tough. But, overall, I agree. It was a solid but not spectacular performance. The biggest strength may have been the fact that he had no INTs and no fumbles lost.

Fixed. It has been a long few days.

He did have a fumble though, and it was in a bad spot.

He also got victimized by a drop or two and by J. McCareins utter inability to find the ball on Go-routes. Still, no complaining here. It was a terrific game. Perfect J. Fisher football.

Defensively...

We played chaotic… Waaaaaaaaaaaay to many penalties. We need to get back to a controlled chaos next week.

Chaotic, yes....

but the D scored as many points as they allowed. As long as the defense is keeping opponents to a net of zero points, I’m willing to let them be as chaotic as they want to be.

I enjoyed it

I was nervous at times but I always am with my teams. They made the plays they needed to and in my opinion embarassed a team on the road. What more can you ask for? 2-0 feels so good!

Let's go Titans!!

It feels good to win decisively

I look forward to those deluded Texan fans over at battleredblog acknowledging that perhaps, just maybe, it’s time for them to let go of their twisted fantasy that their team is better than ours this year.

In the wake of Ike, I didn’t want to kick them when they were down, but now that we are looking towards game#3, I really can’t wait to watch the Titans pound the crap out of their second-rate team.
