Tennessee Titans 30 Minnesota Vikings 17: Quick Recap

by Jimmy on Sep 28, 2008 3:32 PM CDT in Tennessee Titans Recaps

4-0 for the first time in franchise history. That is pretty awesome. I took a lot of heat for my early predictions, but they don't seem that far fetched now.

The Titans' defense did a good job against Adrian Peterson holding him to 80 yards on 18 carries. 4.4 yards per carry is a pretty good average, but you will take it all day long with a back like AP. The Vikes' fans that spent so much time here this week should now understand what this Titans' defense is all about.

The Titans' offense wasn't great, but they were efficient. Collins had a nice day (18-35 for 199) and didn't turn the ball over. The Titans didn't have much success running the ball, but they did enough to keep it balanced and open up some things in the passing game.

Enjoy this win. This team is starting to look like they are ready to make a really special run. August will have links in the morning.

Amen

Defense played pretty good, could have been lots better toward the end. But we are 4-0 and that’s all that matters.

Quick correction, no biggie...

This team is starting to look like they are ready to ~~make a really special run~~.

This team is starting to look like they are ready to win the super bowl.

damn jimmy

i thought you were crazy with your pre-season predictions. I don’t want to jinx us, but we’re looking like the dominant defense in not only the afc, but the whole league! remember (kerry collins will) that ravens team that won the superbowl with trent dilfer at QB? Its not unprecedented people, we really could ride this defense all the way….

I was one of them.

And the scary thing is… I still think the team is off to a comparatively slow start. They’ve won, but they haven’t played a really great, dominant game yet. They’ve just taken advantage of opportunities.

Still a ways to go though to meet those predictions.

And I really hope we can. And then i’ll be eating my words haha.

You are right

but they have 2 games that they SHOULD win before Indy. It isn’t that far fetched.

Ravens

We face a tough Ravens defense. I would be a little worried if their offense was better. I think if Collins doesn’t turn the ball over then we will get a strong win.
