The Colts had this game right from the start. It was just an easy game. Although the Titans were on a five-game winning-streak, and looking dangerous, the Colts were on a eleven-game winning-streak, and counting, as they move on to 12-0.
Joseph Addai played well, scoring the team’s first touchdown, and having another one, along with 79 yards.
Peyton Manning threw for 270 yards along with a touchdown. Vince Young played well, and was looking to for a win after playing his best game of his career just last week against the Arizona Cardinals. He passed for 241 yards with two touchdowns and one pick.
The Titans had a lot of chances to win this game. They had wasted opportunities in the red zone, and the score should have been much tighter. Nate Washington had a chance to put up a [...]

The Tennessee Titans are in the midst of a turnaround that, in NFL terms, is unprecedented—they are the first team in league history to win four straight games following consecutive losses in the first six.
The streak has revived playoff hopes in Nashville. Hopes that approached terminal levels after the third week and were pronounced dead after the fifth.
Let’s take a look exactly how realistic these playoff hopes are.
I think it is safe to assume that trailing the Colts by six games with six to go rules out a division title. This leaves the Titans' playoff hopes riding in their ability to secure one of the two AFC Wild Card berths amongst some heavy competition within the [...]

For An Evening with the Titans Part 1: click here.
When we left the Titans Bud Adams delivered a rousing speech to start their party.
Collins slouches over even more, “Vince this. Vince that. Where was the defense when I was playing?” He walks over to refill his coke.
LenDale White, lost in his own thoughts, sits by the bar while trying to muster up the courage to show “him” his shirt. White is not used to this insecurity and it is wearing on him. Johnson walks over to the bar while White walks away.
“How ‘bout a Captain and Coke?” Asks Johnson while putting his leg up Captain [...]

The below events did not happen anywhere other then the author's head (that he knows of).
Sunday, Nov. 15, 2009, not long after the Titans defeated the Bills by a 41-17 score in Nashville:
Bud Adams is feeling a level of friskiness that belies his age of 86, but not the perfect mix of whiskey and Viagra he is currently sailing on. “Yee haw!” he says. “We are back on the victory train. Nothing can stop the Adams’ Family now!”
“Shirley,” he says (Shirley is Adams' assistant), “get me Fisher on the phone, would ya, sweetie?”
Adams is dancing around his owner’s suite. “I can’t believe it took that stiff Goodell so long to get out of my box. I had the birdies in [...]

The Tennessee Titans will head into the locker room at halftime down 45 to nothing! Possibly the most embarrassing moment in franchise history, and not only was it embarrassing to the Titans, the team, donning the Oilers throwbacks disgraced former alumni and fans by the lackluster performance of the young injury plagued Titans squad. Tom Brady, was thought to be on a downslide, apparently he was saving his comeback performance for a snow-covered, postseason feeling game in Foxborough. Going 17 of 20 for 252 yards and 5 touchdowns would be a career day for any quarterback, (unless your name is Peyton Manning) but these were Brady’s stats for his record setting 2nd quarter! What has happened to the 13 and 3 team of last year? Close losses, key mistakes and injuries are the [...]

So, last week you might have remembered me revisiting the Tennessee Titans (http://www.nfltouchdown.com/something-tells-me-there-wont-be-a-patriotstitans-playoff-game/). I more or less went to bat for them. Decided they aren't as bad as their record. Resigned to the fact that they aren't going anywhere, but still thought they were playing well in most areas. A funny thing happened after I released last week's 1SKILLZ Gameplan picking the Tennessee Titans to upset the New England Patriots (http://www.nfltouchdown.com/nfl-week-6-2009-titans-at-patriots-the-1skillz-gameplan/): [...]

In a late afternoon game this Sunday, October 18, the 0-5 Tennessee Titans will go to Massachusetts to try and get their first win versus the 3-2 New England Patriots. The Titans have lost nine of their last twelve games going back to last season, and I thought this game would be a playoff preview (http://www.nfltouchdown.com/something-tells-me-there-wont-be-a-patriotstitans-playoff-game/). After the Titans' 31-9 loss last week to the Indianapolis Colts at home, it's clear that the Titans have an unrealistic chance of saving their season. The Patriots, on the other hand, are still considered a team to beat even though they look ordinary so far this season. They lost in overtime to the Denver Broncos last week, 20-17. After facing undefeated teams for five weeks in a row, can the [...]

I've been writing on the New England Patriots for four weeks now, but once upon a time (RE: before the regular season started) I covered the Tennessee Titans. My very first article on this site was released on September 3rd (http://www.nfltouchdown.com/2009-tennessee-titans-1skillz-benchmark-the-intro-version/), and after introducing myself and a little about the method behind my madness, I basically said the Tennessee Titans 2009 season would end at the hands of the New England Patriots - in the divisional playoffs. I'm never afraid to admit when I'm off because it allows me to analyze, and it's obvious that when the Titans play at New England this Sunday, the end of the Titans [...]

Some say the hardest part about transitioning from Saturdays to Sundays, is the speed and pace of the game changes. For some however, this is a relatively easy change as it has been for the [...]
