The Patriots showed the Titans how far they still have to go to be a playoff team. The offense didn’t play too well for the Titans and neither did the defense. The Titans did score a TD on special teams as Pac Man Jones returned a punt 81 yards for a TD.

Vince Young had a rough game as he completed 15 of 36 passes for 227 yards and 2 INTs. He also carried the ball twice for 29 yards (14.5 ypc) and a TD. Travis Henry had a solid game with 21 carries for 102 yards (4.9 ypc). Drew Bennett had a solid game with 4 catches for 75 yards. Brandon Jones only caught 1 pass, but it was for 53 yards. Bobby Wade also had a solid game with 4 grabs for 33 yards.

Lamont Thompson led the way on the defense with 10 tackles, but the defense didn’t play well at all. The Patriots carried the ball 31 times for 171 yards (5.5 ypc). The Patriots also completed 17 of 28 passes for 243 net yards passing.

The New England Patriots have righted their ship as they’ve won 2 games in a row and 5 of their last 6. The Tennessee Titans are on fire as they’ve won six games in a row.

The New England Patriots will try to push the Titans around in the running game with Corey Dillon (745 yards rushing) and Laurence Maroney (672 yards rushing) against a Titans defense that is allowing 142.8 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry. After the running game is established it will be Tom Brady’s turn to carve up the Titans secondary. The Titans are allowing 223.9 net yards passing per game this season, so Brady (3,304 yards passing) will spread the ball around until he finds the weakness in the Titans secondary.

The Titans will attempt to run the ball with Travis Henry (1,109 yards rushing) and Vince Young (523 yards rushing), but it won’t be easy. The Patriots are only allowing 91.5 yards rushing per game and 3.8 yards per carry so far this season. Vince Young had better be careful when he throws the football because the Patriots have intercepted 20 passes so far this season including 8 by Asante Samuel.

The Patriots are going to show the Titans that it’s better to be good than lucky. The Patriots will win this football game.

The Titans can clinch a playoff berth with:Â a win, a Cincinnati loss or tie, a Denver loss and a Kansas City win.

It’s definately a long shot for the Titans, but after the way this season started it’s simply amazing that they have any chance. Coach Fisher and Vince Young both did fantastic jobs of reviving this franchise.

The Titans kept rolling along with their 6th win in a row yesterday. Vince Young had one of his best games as a pro QB so far. Young completed 13 of 20 passes for 183 yards and 2 TDs. He also carried the ball 8 times for 61 yards (7.6 ypc) and a TD. Travis Henry also had an outstanding game with 25 carries for 135 yards (5.4 ypc). Brandon Jones had his best game as a pro also with 5 grabs for 101 yards and a TD. Bobby Wade only caught one pass, but he made it count as it was a 22 yard TD catch.

The Titans played pretty bad on defense but the offense bailed them out. The Bills carried the ball 24 times for 117 yards (4.9 ypc). The Bills also passed well as they completed 19 of 34 passes for 251 net yards passing.

The Titans are surging as they’ve won 6 games in a row and still have a shot to make the playoffs this season with a little luck.

The Titans have won 5 games in a row after starting the season 2-7. The Buffalo Bills have won 4 of their last 5 games including a 21-0 shutout of the Miami Dolphins last week.

The Titans will run the football alot against the Bills with Travis Henry (974 yards rushing) and Vince Young (462 yards rushing) doing the bulk of the heavy lifting. The Bills are allowing 137.7 yards rushing and 4.7 yards per carry so far this season so the Titans should be very successful running the ball. The Bills pass defense is allowing 187.3 net yards passing per game, but the Titans will only throw the ball if they have too, preferring to keep the ball on the ground.

The Bills also prefer to run the football. Willis McGahee (872 yards rushing) and Anthony Thomas (368 yards rushing) should have alot of success against a Titans’ run defense that is allowing 145.3 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry so far this season. The Titans pass defense has been pretty bad too, allowing 221.4 net yards passing per game. So look for JP Losman to attack the Titans deep to Lee Evans (70 rec, 1,083 yards) who could have a monster game.

I like the Bills to end the Titans’ winning streak on Sunday. The cold weather coupled with a big game by Lee Evans will help the Bills prevail.

The Titans won this game with their opportunistic defense. Pac Man Jones returned an interception 83 yards for a TD. CB Cortland Finnegan returned a fumble 92 yards for a TD. Chris Hope also returned an interception 61 yards for a TD. Chris Hope also had 10 tackles. Keith Bulluck also was very active with 10 tackles and a sack. Rookie Stephen Tulloch pitched in with 11 tackles. The Jags got alot of yards, but the Titans defense outscored the Jags offense! The Jags carried the ball 40 times for 202 yards (5.0 ypc). The Jags also completed 22 of 37 passes for 194 net yards passing.

The offense didn’t do much with the ball. They only had the ball for 15:38 of the game as the Jags were hogging the ball. Vince Young completed 8 of 15 passes for 85 yards and had 4 carries for 4 yards. Travis Henry had a tough game with 12 carries for 37 yards (3.1 ypc). Bobby Wade let the Titans with 3 catches for 48 yards.

The Titans improved to 7-7 on the season with this win that was gift-wrapped for them by the Jaguars.

This should be a very interesting football game. The Jaguars have won their last two games including last week’s total domination of the Indianapolis Colts 44-17! The Tennessee Titans are on fire as they’ve won 4 in a row including last week’s 26-20 OT victory over the Houston Texans.

The Jaguars will run the ball against the Titans just like the first time they played them. The Jaguars ran for 375 yards last week against the Colts and the Titans have allowed 140.9 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry so far this season. Look for Fred Taylor (1,083 yards rushing) if healthy, and Maurice Drew (666 yards rushing, 6.1 ypc) to definately get their yards. David Garrard will also take off and get some rushing yards against the Titans. Don’t look for the Jags to throw the ball much, unless the Titans somehow step up and stop their running game, which isn’t likely.

The Titans, who are averaging 140.2 yards rushing per game will test the Jags tough run defense that is only allowing 87.1 yards rushing and 3.4 yards per carry. Still, if Travis Henry (937 yards rushing) is healthy enough to play, he should get his yards. If he can’t play, Chris Brown and LenDale White will split the carries. Vince Young (458 yards rushing, 6.6 ypc) will also get some yards running the football. Vince Young is improving as a passer, but he still better not challenge Rashean Mathis who has 7 interceptions this season.

The Jaguars punished the Titans 37-7 in the first meeting between these teams, but this could be a little different. The Jags are only 2-4 on the road. They punished the Colts at home, but lost to them on the road. The Titans are on a magical roll and they also beat the Colts at home. For some reason, and it’s not logic, I think the Titans are going to win this game at home.

Â

Keith Bulluck has been the best defender on the Titans since the day he was drafted by the team. He’s a sure, hard-hitting tackler that is also a playmaker. Bulluck has 117 tackles, 1.5 sacks, an interception, 6 passes defensed and 2 forced fumbles. Opposing teams must always account for where Bulluck is lining up on the field.

Free agent signee Chris Hope is proving to be worth every dime the Titans are paying him. He has 102 tackles, 3 interceptions and has defensed 8 passes.Â

The Titans will need to help these guys in the draft and free-agency next season but at least they have a couple building blocks.

Travis Henry had to leave last week’s game after he injured his ankle and he might not be able to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chris Brown could get the start, as he played well after replacing Henry last week against the Texans.

Vince Young wanted to play for the Texans and for his hometown, but they took Mario Williams instead because they already had David Carr at QB. So Vince beat them with a 39 yard TD run in OT! Vince Young completed 19 of 29 passes for 218 yards and an INT. He also carried the ball 7 times for 86 yards (12.3 ypc) and a TD. Travis Henry carried the ball 20 times for 88 yards (4.4 ypc) and 2 TDs. Chris Brown finally got a little action and carried the ball 4 times for 44 yards (11.0 ypc). Drew Bennett had a great game catching 6 passes for 113 yards.

The defense played better than usual, but it helped that the offense held the ball so long. The Texans carried the ball 30 times for 107 yards (3.6 ypc). The Texans completed 17 of 23 passes for 133 net yards passing.

The Titans improved to 6-7 on the season. They are way ahead of schedule so far this season.
