Chiefs Common denominator during the Titans' six-game losing streak - Page 2

Hammock Parties · 12-20-2010, 11:24 AM

So the Titans looked like contenders and then they went on this six-game streak that killed their season.

I still think they are a talented and dangerous team. This, IMO, is our toughest game other than the San Diego game in the second half of the season.

Matchups I hate:

Jason Babin against Barry Richardson - nuff said

Cortland Finnegan against Dwayne Bowe - I really hate this, because Finnegan is physical enough to completely take Bowe out of his game.

Chris Hope and Michael Griffin against Matt Cassel - He can't telegraph throws like that INT last week and get away with it against these guys.

Michael Roos against Tamba Hali - Roos completely owned Hali the last time he played him. Yeah, Hali is a different player now, but Roos is a great young left tackle.

Oh yeah, Chris Johnson against...anyone.

Now, why did the Titans lose six games? Every quarterback they played during their losing streak was highly efficient at the least or explosive at best.

Rivers 27/36 305 2/1
Henne 19/28 240 1/0
McNabb 30/50 376 1/1
Schaub 25/35 176 1/0
Garrard 14/19 126 0/0
Manning 25/35 319 2/0

I do not think we can get away with another 15/30 performance out of Cassel and expect to win this game.

BTW, they just held the Texans to 30 rushing yards.

If we roll up 27 points, 400 yards, and win the TOP battle we will win by at least two scores.

If we score 14 points we still win.

Football Outsiders seems to agree with the notion that Tennessee is better than their record. They're 10th in DVOA and 8th in defensive DVOA. They are also 9th in pass defense.

Titans > NFC West

The Titans pounded a Houston team that lost an overtime Monday night game 6 days beforehand.

They are not world beaters, but the game isn't going to be a cakewalk, either.

Tennesee is a team on the edge. Get a quick start on them and they will implode.

Johnson can score 14 by himself.

He's Jamal Charles dangerous only he plays the whole game.

Our best bet is to blitz, hurry, fluster, sack, and maul Collins...

Johnson is still good, but he isn't the Johnson from last season. The Titans have given him a ton of carries, and I think his body is wearing down.

haha I loved that. You can't help but get fired up watching Cassel going apeshit.

8 100-yard games and leads the league in runs over 20 yards.

If he's wearing down his stats don't show it. 5.4 YPC over the last 6 weeks.

CJ2K needs more carries.

It's a little strange that the Titans didn't a) re-up him and b) sign/keep a complimentary back. I'd more more worried about this game if they hadn't cut Blount.

4.5 ypc over the entire season. He averaged 5.6 last year. He won't average anywhere near 5.4 ypc against us. He 358 carries last season. He is on pace for 320+ this year. The body can't handle that.

RINGLEADER · 12-20-2010, 12:17 PM

I think we stack the run and play a lot of man in both of these games. I also think we completely destroy both the Titans and the Raiders. I mean, just completely annihilate both of them.

If this happens we'd draw the Jets and, despite Sanchez being a good player on the road, I think we match up well against them.

If we are lucky enough to get that far I see us having a chance in Pittsburgh if we can get the run going. Hopefully, the Ravens would take down the Pats and we'd host them for the Championship game.

Yes, I'm a homer.

His average on 98 carries over the last six weeks is 3.7 ypc. He has six runs that elevate that to 5.4 ypc. If we can keep him from breaking off the big runs I think we are okay -- make Grandpa win with his arm at Arrowhead...I'll take those match-ups...

6-8 and finish the season with two road games KC - Indy
The Texans got a little pay back from the 0-20 beating they laid on them earlier
nice way to finish the home games

WOW...who is your supplier ? I'd take a playoff game and a 1st round win.
