OILERMAN Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 This team has barely been beating the very worst teams in the league. I'm not all surprised and posted they might lose if they play Hasselbeck. When your passing game is this bad and you're defense is bad you can lose to anyone. Hasselbeck has been this bad for weeks but the team avoided turnovers. It's totally baffling they started MH when it's so clear Locker is so much better. Oh and CJ might actually get cut, he was pretty pitiful out there today. This team was never making the playoffs either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 They've also been terrible on third down on both sides of the ball for quite a while and never really paid the price for it. I firmly believe they win today if Locker starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansrule19 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Didn't see the game, went to NFL.com after work and I saw it, my worst nightmare Even when the Colts are the worst team in the league they still beat us in every meaningful game we've played against them in the past 8 years. If Luck is good I may never watch football again until I'm 40 years old. It's past the point of rage with the Colts, just pure beaten down sadness. As far as from what I gathered from the statistics: Hasslebeck played like he has been playing lately, with nothing in the tank, even if he put up decent numbers today I would have still said going with Locker was the better move. You would have to be completely foolish not to start Locker beyond this point. Where's all the people defending CJ now? He has played against two horrendous run defenses and still looked like a turd. Get rid of that contract and pay guys like Finnegan who deserve to be paid. Not sure what else to gather but wow, I should have known to put 100 bucks on the Colts, every time...

Hasselbeck piled up a ton of garbage stats late in the game. He was way worse than his numbers. Same for CJ, he had a meaningless 35yd run late in the game to give him 55yds, he had 14 carries for 20yds up until then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 The Colts had 200+yds rushing and 6yds per carry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hence the reason that I predicted 3 wins this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'm not sure I'd say the Titans D was bad. Yeah they blew the 1 play but the problem is that the offense is on the field for 3 and out pretty much every drive and it forces the defense to be on the field for too long. I have said for a long time that this team has 5-6 win talent and that Munchak did a good job this year. But playing Hasselbeck and continuing to defend it is inexcusable.

Cyrus Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 The Titans defense has been more than competent when time of possession isn't completely lopsided. This team suffers from am offensive problem. The team can't convert third downs and it can't run the ball. Given enough time most teams will put 20+ if they have the ball long enough.

Jas Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I firmly believe they win today if Locker starts. It's not just today. We would have had a much better chance with Locker against Jax, Cin, and Atl. Who can forget those memorable 2 minute drives Hasselbeck led against Jax and Cin?

JLocker10 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 A seven win team is not bad...watch STL and see their record if you want to know what bad truly is woulda coulda shoulda you are what your record says you are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 This team is definitely not bad. It's mediocre. And mediocre teams lose to bad teams. And occasionally play up to the level of good teams. It's part of football. It's been like this since the NFL began and will continue to be like this.

cenj Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 The defense has talent and will be a top unit going into the future. Gray has done a heck of a job with a lot of rookies, and no offseason to implement a change in scheme (JJ probabaly suffered the most from this). It is good enough to beat any team when they are playing well. The complete lack of offense is killing the team. Actually, special teams is the worst unit, believe it or not.

OILERMAN Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 If you look at all the stats this team is bad. Terrible on 3rd down on both sides of the ball, one of the worst rushing teams, can't pressure opposing QBs.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Oh and Colts did not just have one big run, even without the long run the Colts ran well. Their QB had a 111 passer rating and they had other people running free that the QB missed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
