Titans vs. Colts Final Thoughts

by Jimmy on Dec 18, 2011 7:43 AM CST

The Titans have been slow starters this year. They need a fast start in this one to keep the Colts from thinking that they have a chance to win. It won't take much to get them to tune out of this game. If the Titans can open up a 10-14 point lead they will fall into the "here we go again" mentality.

On the other hand, if the Titans let them hang around, they will start to believe that have a chance to get that first victory. The motivation is probably pretty low in Colts' camp right now, but none of them want to be remembered as a member of the second 0-16 team in NFL history. The key is to make sure to not give them that hope.

The Titans also have the fact that they are still very much alive in the playoff hunt. I know this is going to hurt August a little bit, but we have to be cheering for Michael Vick to be the 2010 version of himself today to knock off the Jets. A Jets loss and a Titans win will ensure that every time they show a playoff graphic for the next week the Titans will be in the "in" category. That is so much more than we could have expected before the season started.

GO TITANS!!

So... A Jet's loss and a Titans win clutches it?

Or do we need to win out still?

It's all fun and games until someone gets a concussion from a stray flying footbal. *cough* Kerry *cough*

Possible

We play two very winnable games the next two weeks (Indy and Jax), and finish @ Hou, while the Jets are @ Philly, at home to the Giants, which can still be considered a neutral site, and then @ Mia. I think there is reason to be optimistic that this team can sneak in. And I love that no one is talking about them…GO TITANS!!!

indy will lead at half time ... BOOK IT!

we will get 2 huge plays and still be alive in the playoff hunt

Biggie and Tupac are alive. Jeff Fisher is a great NFL coach.

if Indy is leading at halftime, I would seriously consider putting in Locker to start the 2nd half, cuz something is wrong.

When you BOOK something

You had better be right. You have been flagged for Hawaii Five-0ing and penalized for the rest of the season!

WE NEED NEW COACHES PERIOD!!! HOW DUMB COULD YOU BE, HASSLE CRAP DID NOTHING AGAIN THE WHOLE FIRST HALF! NEITHER DID OUR 50 MILLION DOLLAR RB! THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT OUR REAL QB IN AFTER HALFTIME INSTEAD OF END OF FOURTH QUARTER. THE TEAM PLAYS BETTER WITH JAKE AND OUR BROKEN FINGER RECEIVERS EVEN CATCH THE BALL!!!(LOL) TO LATE FOR A CHANGE NOW, HERE IT IS SEASON OVER SEE-YA NEXT YEAR WHEN THE BEAST IS BACK AND HEALTHY AND JAKE IS BEHIND THE CENTER THEN WATCH OUT AFC!!!!
