Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans Open Game Thread

VS.  


NUTS AND BOLTS

Date: December 2nd, 2007
Time: 12:00 p.m. Central
Location: LP Field, Nashville, TN
Records: Titans (6-5) Texans (5-6)
Weather: 60 degrees, 50% chance of showers, wind SSW 16 mph
TV: CBS
Radio: 103.3 WKDF
Texans Coverage: Battle Red Blog and The Houston Chronicle

This is basically a must win game for our Titans.  It appears that it will be raining for most of the game which should bode well for the Titans because they have the better rushing game.

Today is my wife's birthday, so we will be having lunch at the in-laws after church.  Hopefully I will get to check in during the 2nd half.  If someone could post the inactives here when they are listed I would really appreciate it.  Get the game discussion going here.  Let's get a win.

GO TITANS!!

We all need to be colts fans today.....
2 reasons why:
  1. The obvious, trying to catch Jax in the wild card race.  I don't think that will happen, but there is a chance.
  2. We need the Colts to have everything wrapped up by the time the Titans and Colts take the field in week 17.  That will allow the Colts to rest some regulars, and it will give the Titans a better chance.
I'm hoping for a better day today!

Agreed
A Colts loss would make it a lot harder on us down the stretch

I, for one, am hoping the Colts have nothing to play for on week 17.

by Rustmeister on Dec 2, 2007 11:44 AM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They're resting Big Al
already. Hope that's all it is.

by Rustmeister on Dec 2, 2007 12:07 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i bet it holds up
they should of whistled it dead, but they didn't

by gotitans27 on Dec 2, 2007 12:11 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

looks like
he stretched the ball acrossed. Forward progress was stopped though

by Big Bad Bulluck on Dec 2, 2007 12:11 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

maybe if we play some D
before they get to the 1 yard line.

by Big Bad Bulluck on Dec 2, 2007 12:11 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

is big Al
playing? i know he is in the line up but defense looks like same defense without him

gage
what a pleasant surprise...

by gotitans27 on Dec 2, 2007 12:20 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

our team would be exiting to watch
when we get some decent WRs and young improve throwing a little in near future
(might not please fisher but w.e)

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 12:23 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

didn't we draft a OL
can't remember correctly was it Harris or someone not really sure which position he is tho

it seems that roydell always
turns the wrong way... we need some better communication

maybe we should hire
zoo keeper instead of trainer for him
zoo keepers are good at making animals do certain things for food

ahmad hall..
may have been the difference in our running game

by b3tts32 on Dec 2, 2007 12:30 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think
we really missed Hall. And now we are missing B.Olsen a bit.

by Big Bad Bulluck on Dec 2, 2007 12:31 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

only if our D can get back to how it was before
our Offense is much improved from beginning of the season (even with all the drops and interceptions)

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 12:35 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

quick question
who is rotating with Odom ?

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 12:37 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

With
La boy out the rotation is all messed up

by white02slpss on Dec 2, 2007 7:33 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Do we
really want Rosenfels at QB, though?

by Rustmeister on Dec 2, 2007 12:38 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nice
Field position, and bring on the rain!

how about an update? who scored? Just signed on the radio.

sup with Hentrich
punting only 30yards these days

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 12:53 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

hentrich...
i have always been a fan, but as I posted earlier this week, there are too many guys with big legs out there now.  I hope he retires at the end of the season...

by gotitans27 on Dec 2, 2007 12:54 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

maybe we can sign the guy
who played when Hentrich was injured

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 12:55 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i've been saying this since the beginning of the
year.

There are plenty of people who can punt 45-50 yards consistently, we need to find one.

by nvemvp23 on Dec 2, 2007 12:58 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He
was putting into a 14 plus MPH wind!  makes a huge difference

Once Again
The sound you hear is Big Al's price tag going up.

We're just totally different with him in the game.

by Rustmeister on Dec 2, 2007 1:04 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i say F.Tag him
let see if he can repeat this for another year
if he does than we can sign him a long term deal

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 1:05 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

franchise tag..
can you franchise the same player year after year?

by gotitans27 on Dec 2, 2007 1:09 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i'm not sure about how many times you
can F.T the player but i think when F.T same player you have to give him 25% raise

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 1:13 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah no Hentrich
punts 50 yards to end zone how nice

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 1:13 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

franchise tag you gotta make him the
average salary of the top 5 paid players of that position i think.

by nvemvp23 on Dec 2, 2007 1:19 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

that's right...
i just didn't know how often you could do it to the same player

by gotitans27 on Dec 2, 2007 1:23 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I believe
you can do it more than 1nce.

by Big Bad Bulluck on Dec 2, 2007 1:35 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

if you can watch the game online...
please email me how..  ecdean27@yahoo.com

great job by VY.
Go Titans!

by Pinoy Titan on Dec 2, 2007 1:57 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
I think Roydell is good enough to be this teams #2 guy for a while..
And Gage could be great in the slot..
This team just needs to somehow find a #1 and this offense will be a much better thing.

by CoryC123 on Dec 2, 2007 1:58 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah
Gage was a great signing he should be our #2 or slot
still not sure about Roydell i mean he makes great catches sometimes but other times he is invisible
B.Jones have to learn how to catch the ball or he shouldn't be in NFL
Still need at least 2 good WRs

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 2:03 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Color me
unsuprised, they threw at Hill.

by Rustmeister on Dec 2, 2007 2:03 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

is Herndon that bad ?
i thought he used to start in SEA..
if he is worse than Hill might as well release him and give roster spot to someone else

Gage
I think we need to start to work on re-signing him now.  We don't want another WR get away.

Did anyone
Else Notice what WR's got the Start?  R. Williams and J. Gage

Vince is looking like ... Kerry Collins!

our pass rushers put their hands up more to knock down passes.  that's something we don't do well at all....

unfortunately not..
if white is healthy, he'll be the starter.  i don't know why.  brown has always been good when healthy.

by gotitans27 on Dec 2, 2007 2:38 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Chris Brown has always been good enough to start..
It's just a matter of health, and he hasn't shown that he can keep his for any consistent amount of time.

San Diego is a must win game next week, but if we get past them I don't see any reason why we don't have a great chance to make the playoffs.

Trivia
The Cardinals are the oldest team in Pro Football, and the only charter member of the NFL that still has their original name.

by Rustmeister on Dec 2, 2007 3:12 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Poor choice by Fisher.
A FG would have put us up by 2 scores..
That at least gave Elway a chance.

by CoryC123 on Dec 2, 2007 3:12 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No.
It was a smart call to take the punt because Bironas missed a similar field goal from that same side.  If he missed they would have started at the 40 yard line.

Plus punts waste a good amount of time.

Good call by Fisher

by nvemvp23 on Dec 2, 2007 3:19 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Good game.
Great win.  Probably the best the team has looked this season, and it was practically raining sideways.

Go Titans!  Next up, San Diego.

Question: Who has the edge if we end up with a
tie against the Browns.

Who has the tiebreaker?

by nvemvp23 on Dec 2, 2007 3:35 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

As of right now I think we do.
At least that's the way it was when we were tied a couple of weeks ago.

by CoryC123 on Dec 2, 2007 3:36 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Actually, I think it's...
...the Browns.  They have more wins in the AFC.  
DannoE

by DannoE on Dec 2, 2007 3:39 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i thought it depends on
intra conference record
right now we are at 4-4
Browns 5-4 (today's game doesn't matter but they have to lose so it goes into tie-break procedure)
so Browns are a head

we played all 4 games against NFC already
and Browns still have to face 49ners
so it really depends which game Browns lose

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 3:42 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so if we go 3-1 for rest of our season
as we predicted we would be 7-5 (AFC games)
and if browns go 3-1 too but if lose comes from SF than they go 8-4 (AFC games) Browns would go to playoff

if Browns go 3-1 and lose to other team than SF than i think we go for point difference (not really sure about this one)

by LastSd on Dec 2, 2007 3:45 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Cards won!
Browns got robbed, but who cares!
