Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by leoquijano on Sunday 31 December 2006 at 8:15 pm

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.

Tennessee Titans vs. New England Patriots

Blogged under Bloglockers, This Week's Matchup Report, Front Page by leoquijano on Friday 29 December 2006 at 5:30 pm

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.

Titans playoff scenarios

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 Amazing Titans win nail-biter 30-29 over Buffalo

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.

Tennessee Titans vs. Buffalo Bills

Blogged under Bloglockers, This Week's Matchup Report, Front Page by leoquijano on Thursday 21 December 2006 at 2:56 pm

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.
