Seattle Seahawks @ Tennessee Titans : 5 Keys to Victory

Print- Give CJ the ball. This is the key of the game. If the Titans plan on winning the game in addition to getting Chris Johnson his yards, we will need to build up a lead early so that we can hand the ball off to him whenever we feel like it to get him the required yards even if the Seahawks aren't giving up much.
- Force turnovers. Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselback has 9 turnovers, including 8 of his total 16 interceptions in the past two games, so the Seahawks aren't doing their part to win the turnover battle. We also have Rod Hood in the lineup rather than Nick Harper, who has three interceptions, tied for second most on the team. The Titans didn't have a turnover last week, and we have seen that when we win the turnover battle, we have a much higher shot of winning the game.
- Give CJ the ball. Chris Johnson needs 63 rushing yards to break Earl Campbell's franchise record for single season rushing yards, 75 yards from scrimmage to break Marshall Faulk's record, 128 rushing yards to get to 2,000, 128 rushing and 17 receiving to become the first player ever with 2,000 rushing and 500 receiving, and 234 to break Eric Dickerson's single season record. Ahmard Hall feels 2,000 will happen easily, what the team really strides for is Dickerson's record, but will we try and get it at all costs?
- VY needs to have a comeback performance. VY had arguably the worst game of his career last week with under 100 yards passing and a 38.9% completion percentage. Expect him to bounce back to the form he had in his first eight games as starter against a Seahawks defense that is one of the worst in the league. It will be important to end this comeback season for Vince on a high note.
- Give CJ the ball. You know this is all we're going to be doing to close out this disappointing season. This season will be a complete failure if CJ doesn't get good yardage in this game. If there's one thing the Seahawks are managing to do this season though, it's stopping the run.

CJ - "It feels real good."

Fisher will
Probably rest him this week and see what lendale can do. It will be cool if breaks the records but I think putting the wear on him like that is ignorant. Especially when you have pretty decent 2nd back who can pound the ball.

You're joking, right?
Remember, sarcasm is not always easy to pick up on on the innertubes.

Sarcasm about the first part.
The lendale thing bothers me bc in some situations lendale is the better option. Not many but some. The combination worked extremely well last year why did we take it away? I love cj and what he’s done but this just seems like another odd decision by fisher.

Has anyone been to the Seahwaks blog?
They don’t even seem to care enough to talk about the game.
Also, give CJ the ball.

Just so I am clear...
We need to give CJ the ball.

So happy!!
Got my authentic Chris Johnson jersey today in the mail and will be rooting for CJ to make some history tomorrow! Goodluck!! GO TITANS! “46”
I wouldn't call this season a complete failure if CJ doesn't get 2K
There are certainly some positives.
We saw Vince’s emergence as a legit starting QB, one we can confidently build around going forward.
We saw some great things from Kenny Britt, who also looks like another player we can depend on in the coming seasons.
Even if CJ falls short at say, 1950 yards, we still saw him put together a historically great season and also emerge as one of the league’s elite running backs.
We’re going to have a higher first round pick than we did last year, so maybe we can draft a quality defensive back to help shore up the defense!
