How Do You Feel About this Sunday's Game?

PrintIt has been a good week to be a Titans fan. The offense looked revamped under Kerry Collins in Cincinnati, and the defense continued their domination. Combine that with the Jaguars 0-2 start and the injury to Colts safety Bob Sanders, it is looking like the division could be ripe for the picking. Am I saying that the those teams are done? Absolutely not, but the gap between those teams and the Titans is gone.
Now you look up and the Houston Texans are coming to town. The Titans have pretty much owned the Texans since they became an NFL franchise, but this is a new year. People seem to forget that even though the Titans are 10-2 against the Texans, the games are never easy. Both of last season's games came right down to the wire.
It will be interesing to see how the Texans come out for this game after a week of dealing with Hurricane Ike. Most times you will see a team come out either really inspired or really flat following a week with some event like that. The Titans better be ready for an inspired Texans team.
I expect the Titans to win this game and improve to 3-0, but it won't be easy. I welcome your thoughts..

i'm in agreement....
i think this could be a easy game for the titans to overlook. houston always seems motivated to play us and i predict a battle right up to the final whistle. on paper, houston should be right in the thick of things in the division. if houston gets it together and starts winning later on in the season, this game could prove critical. it will be interesting to see how KC deals with a real pass rush. mario williams is turning out to be a monster after everyone (including myself) blasted them for passing on bush and young. look for lendale to have a breakout game.
i can’t wait for this one – 3-0 puts us in the drivers seat of the afc dirty south and some serious momentum.
GO TITANS
Who is going to be lined up against williams?
I’m optimistic about this one. The Texans time is going to come, but this year I think we’re more improved over last year than they are. That surprises me – during the off-season it didn’t feel like we were making very good moves, but nevertheless it looks to me like the Titans are quite a bit better overall (barring return coverage) than last year. D looks like it has more wind and depth, offense is looking better on redzone production.

and he’s going to eat Mario’s lunch all game…
Michael Roos doesn't eat pitas because NOTHING BREAKS THE POCKET ON HIS WATCH!!!
I hope that Cortland's recent celebrity coverage doesn't effect his coverage -
Andre Johnson is one that can humble a fella. He’s an athletic beast, but I think that Finnegan can cover him, with help over the top.
I don't think this is one that the Titans overlook.
The Texans always play them hard, and they all know that. If they’re gonna overlook one, the one they’re gonna overlook is Baltimore.
I think the Texans are gonna succeed in bringing heat on Collins, but they’ve been somewhat soft vs. the run, and their O-Line has been suspect. That’s stuff that the Titans can work with.

Go Titans!
I want the Hawk to finally play this year...
we need another playmaker, CJ has now become a target of the opposing defense.
Go Titans!
yea, lets see what the hawk can do....

i think the thurs press conference
fish had a reply that kind of implied hawk would see action this weekend – gage is dinged up.
I feel good.
Parker ran pretty well against the Texans with a shaky offensive line, Schaub never has a good game against the Titans, and Chris “what was that ???” Johnson is running towards the rookie MVP at the rate he’s going.
I think this is the week CJ finally takes it to the house on a big one like he did in the Rams preseason game. You all know it’s just a matter of time.
I can’t believe I just wrote that about someone playing for the Titans.
Unbelievable.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

I hope the Titans can win this one, I am not as confident going into
this one as I was last week against the Bengals. Call it womens intuition, but I am a little concerned about it. I am hoping the Titans will roll, I think Collins will have an ok day., he needs to be relatively mistake free. His confidence level has increased after getting the win last week, so that should be a bonus going into this one. Chris Johnson should be a steady performer and Lavelle Hawkns will get a chance to show what he is made of in a game that counts. I do think it will be close, with the Titans coming out on top.
I don't agree
I really believe it’s gonna be more of a beatdown than the Bengal game. This Texan team has not found it’s identity, and now they are reeling from the hurricane. That doesn’t mean we can sleepwalk through it, but I think it’s gonna be a runaway. Pun intended (Go Crazy Legs, Go!).
Of course I think you could tell me that the sky was blue, Joy Kat, and I would argue with you!
Except...
Brandon Jones is listed as 2nd on the depth chart behind Gage, implying that Hawkins may see action out of the slot position. Look for him to make some short plays over the middle. His toughness will be tested.
