Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Why we lost

Okay, so you can call me bitter if you want. I mean, why cry over spilt milk anyway? A game is a game, we lost so who wants to point fingers and point the blame anyway...I DO.

So you might disagree. But here is my top 10 reasons we lost the game, just something for fun to think about...


10. Wet field- Okay, so the wet field + physical play seems to leave everyone with injuries. So we had trouble, but they play on the same field so that don't matter too much.


9. Once Johnson was out, Gage became #1 in the game. And after a while, I imange he became heavly watched.


8. Does anyone else thing KVB maybe a bit rusty? I mean, I noticed a big difference in intensity after he hasn't been playing for a while. I mean perhaps it would  been better if Ball was in a bit more? But I don't know, just speculating

.
7. White is too one dimensional. I mean, Smash needs Dash. Thunder needs Lighting. Even if you have VY in there the other team isn't just looking for the big guy to run through a small hole all the time.  I mean at least give them someone else to look for. I really think they could have used Ganther a lot more once Johnson left.


6. The missed Field goal. I mean, it would have at least tied it up.

5. The WR problems. Okay, and what I mean by that is..Get rid of McCarrins. I was actually pretty glad to see him on the bench. And when Brandon Jones got in, things got a little bit better. But I had seen Paul Williams in there. Now who's idea was that? And I didn't see Hawkins or Davis even. I mean, we really need to pick up a WR in the free agency or something.


4. Harris Did a pretty good job, but I did notice a few botched snaps. I mean, that's a couple times that could have been game changers. Now if Mawae goes down, fine, but then use Amano as Center and put Harris as Guard. Amano is a much better Center than Harris.


3. Okay, so what if that bad delay of game call didn't mean anything...but what if it did? So here is a "what if" scenario...What if the titans defender paused for a minute thinking the play is going to get whistled dead, and suddenly it's not. That little bit of distraction could be the difference in a play.


2. Penalties. I-Nuff said.


and my number 1...No Johnson. I consider Johnson the savior of our team this year. I really think that despite everything else that happened, if Johnson was still in the game. It would have been won. Okay, maybe not. But I'll like to think so. Even things like getting closer for another field goal might have happend. Even with all the penalties and everything. The game is 100% different with him, I believe.
 
And that's it. Now some of those probably wouldn't have mattered and yes most of that is just ranting and raving. but I just wanted to get some things off my chest.  And well, I guess that's it for this year.

Those reasons may just be dead on

As a Ravens fan, I was sorry CJ got hurt, but not sorry he wasn’t in for the second half. That was a tough FG for Bironas. I was more worried about the weather in Nashville as a Ravens fans, as to me it heavily favored you guys. Flacco has really not played in much poor weather conditions, so I was glad to see it was better than I expected. Those penalties and TO’s did more to hurt you than CJ would have done to help you. It’s tough to win when you have to beat us AND the refs, not that there were any bad calls (perhaps just ONE missed one, though). Good luck.

I wasnt sorry he got hurt

If he played that second half, I dont think Ravens win the game. From what we saw in the time he was in there, that man was undoubtedly going to score like a 70 yard touchdown run. He was going to be the first player to rush for 100 yards on us in like 34 games or something? I forgot, the number is too big. But yea, CJ getting hurt won it for us, as White is not the guy you build drives around.

If you have to point to CJ as a savior

then that’s a good hint as to why your team didn’t win. See: Peyton Manning.

i think

it is a good example of hitting your opponent in the mouth or having too much time off or both. The Titans took off Week 17 and had the bye and then played a physical team in the ravens. This is exactly why i was happy the steelers lost the game and still believe the steelers were not going all out in that game for the whole game, it just wasn’t worth it. Notice how #1 seeds rarely win the superbowl anymore. But the titans had been relaxing for 2 weeks and then faced a brutally physical opponent and people were getting banged up all over the place, those turnovers were unfortunate but could be because they were not in a rhythmn by playing each week like other teams.

But CJ is probably still good reason why the titans lose that game because he had been gashing them all game but it’s a mans game and if you get hurt, its no excuse, every team goes through it, it just shows how good of a team are you if you don’t have to rely on one player.

oh and how bout that AFC NORTH!

by Bleed-Black&Gold on Jan 11, 2009 6:57 PM CST up reply actions  

Would that be the division that went 0-4 against the Titans?

by DoofusOfErasmus on Jan 11, 2009 8:10 PM CST up reply actions  

it would be the division that has the last 2 remaining teams in the AFC playoffs, when was the last time the winner of the regular season mattered? It’s all about the playoffs baby!

It was Alge Crumpler. On the one yard line.

And he deserves to lose his job for it.

how do you know amano is a better center? did he ever play center for us, against real competition? if he did i missed it. What did you put him at center in madde and his rating went up. Omg its shit like this that makes e think us titans fans are making excuses. Its simple the reason we lost, they had 13 we had 10
