Predicting The 2013 Titans season

Not that he needs anyone to defend him but you do realize that you have 6601 more posts than he does right?

 

How does that matter? The guy follows Oman around like a lost puppy and posts useless drivel that we all laugh at. Only half of my posts are useless.

A preview of the upcoming 2013 season for the Tennessee Titans and a new way of predicting season success. The hardest thing to do in football these days is to predict how NFL teams will perform in a

I listen to Simmons podcast regularly, and he knows less about the Titans than most on here.   The reason @OILERMAN wants you to respect his opinion is strictly because it supports his own.  When th

I don't like the term lock as there are too many variables in play between now and January. That being said the Bengals have shown themselves to be a playoff team the past few years so in a weak confe

As bad as the Titans were last year, they still lost 2 close games to the Colts.  They must turn that around.  Hard to make the playoffs when you are 3rd in the division.

It's hard to make the playoffs when you go 4-8 against the division over the past 2 years.

Pretty good post. But I take the optimistic view regarding Locker and the passing game, and believe his improvement alone will amount to a couple more wins than last year. 

 

And I'm not the least bit worried about playing Alex Smith. 

 

My prediction: 9-7. 

 

Teams won't want to play the Titans this year because they know it will be a slugfest on both sides of the ball, whether the defense can cover and stop the run or not. QBs will be on their backs a lot with the blitzing scheme that TN will employ.

Really? Reid has won with mediocre QBs for years.

And  9228 more relevant posts than he does

 

Says the 40 year old who spends his life playing online poker and trying to perpetuate his internet message-board persona.  You're a pathetic, worthless, piece of shit; but hey, you have 22K posts, so you're awesome, right?

Follows who around?  I call out bullshit, and it so happens the OM is the grand wizard of cow feces.  Don't worry, if not for him, you would be tops, hands-down. 

 

Oh, and who's 'we' douchebag?  You're the one always wanting specific names....how about you provide a few.

Cincinnati is sure as heck not a lock. Nor are Baltimore or Houston. But Cincinnati a lock? They haven't won a playoff game since 1990!

 

As far as the Chiefs, they have turned into everyone's darkhorse. So I'd say that if they win 4-5 games it'll be surprising that they didn't do better.

What does Cincinnati winning a playoff game have to do with them GOING to the playoffs?(which they have done the last two years by the way).

You don't know the deal with Scine do you? Here's a hint. He doesn't like Tomlin or Lewis as head coaches.

A real darkhorse is the Browns. In that division, and with their history, no one want to go out on that limb.

 

But Norv Turner is running the offense. They have some interesting pieces in place to compete. If Weeden gets up to speed, they could surprise.

KC has the potential to be much better than people think.

 

Certainly have the potential to be a quality team. I don't think they would be a particularly strong playoff team with Alex Smith. I'm curious to see if this team has as much legitimate talent as they're touted to have now that they have a quality coach and an average QB. 

 

I think the Browns could be a competitive team, but they're more likely to finish around 8-8 in that division. I think their secondary outside of Haden is very, very shaky. They're also transitioning to a 34 and they may have some bumps along the way. 

 

I don't think Cincy is necessarily a lock though. With the Browns likely to be competent, they have an insanely difficult schedule. Beyond playing the Steelers and Ravens twice a year, they're also playing the Packers, Patriots and at the Bears. Even their easier opponents will be on the road: At San Diego and at Detroit. They also play on the road in Miami on a short week. They're definitely set up for a let-down.

I agree. The Browns have more talent then the record indicates. They could be in the hunt. The problem is they are in a tough division.

But then again, you never know what you're going to get with first year HC's.
