Again like I've said they've managed to build a team that wins in the modern age that is the essence of what the Titans franchise has been. If you're not a fan of smashmouth football it's obvious now that this isn't the franchise for you. I've been accused of loving the "oldschool" smashmouth style too much so imagine my surprise that not only is it still effective it's dominant. Still think this is just a wasted year, big?

Almost all of the SB winning teams in the last 10 years have been good on defense and had a good running game, even if it was split out among a few (NE comes to mind). Teams like the Harbaugh 49ers, the Seahawks, the 2015 Panthers have all been built very similar to this Titans team. Explosive/efficient passing game, strong run game, and good defense. A good defense almost always contains a passing team. Historically it has. I've been arguing this for years. I think people have seen Tom Brady and believed that the only way to do it is do it like him ... but he's the greatest QB of all time. If you don't have that the best formula is the one the Titans built. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 The gambling odds are always a terrible way to gauge a team's actual probability of winning since they are based upon money being bet. The big market teams and those with bigger fan bases will always skew the odds. Teams like the Cowboys will always have lower odds than they should, and teams like the Titans will always have bigger odds than they should. It's just a reality of gambling. The Titans were 40-1 back in late June and that was similar to teams like the 49ers, Ravens, Chargers, and Raiders. How do I know this? Because I was in Vegas and bought a ticket. Obviously they are going to be less right now, there's only 4 teams left. The current Vegas odds on the Titans are 8-1. The Packers are 7-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believed waiting for us to be rid of Mariota would derail our season and that it was a necessary evil. But Tannehill has been much better than expected and Henry has turned into a star.

We also had a fumble returned for a TD by Evans and a blocked FG. We were down 10-0 early. Brown was out too though. Hopefully he's back. Could use Humphries as well. This game worries me but we'll see. Edited January 13, 2020 by reo titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really good offenses are typically like the Ravens.. they feast on poor defenses and look unstoppable as people kind of forget the losses but then when in the playoffs, they struggle b/c they're playing better teams.

Tex in a Can Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 The media and NFL know it alls will still be wondering what we are even after and if we win the super bowl. It would take 1/2 of an off season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't talking about the top 5 TE list in the NFL. Lol at it not being close. It is very close. WR, RB, etc....are not even close. At TE it's a committee approach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgJoe Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 This reminds me so much of 2 games in the past: Us against the Jags in the AFC Championship. Yeah we had beat them twice that year, but everyone was crowning Jacksonville early. Then we beat the hell out of them at Alltell. And the Pats taking down Oakland in the playoffs the year they won their first SB. No way was anyone getting past that high flying Raiders attack....until NE did it. Weather the storm early and we will win. DecepticonShawn, and DCTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atitan Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Nate Burleson from Good Morning Football mentioned the Titans going to the Superbowl before we got the wildcard. He's picked the Titans to win both playoff games. We'll see if the others get on the bandwagon. titanruss, KB31, MadMax, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a strong sentiment that the Titans (13-3) were just way more physical than the Jags (14-2), so even though they had just beaten the Dolphins 60 something to 7 the week before in the playoffs, there was hardly any fear from Titan fans of the Jags. And a winning Fisher was at the height of his trollmaster ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why there is a ton of money invested in the OL. Hammer them with Henry and take some PA shots. Keep on dominating in the red zone.

BudsOilers Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 In the last 3 games, the Titans are 100% in the red zone on offense and 44% in red zone defense. In the regular season, the Titans were #1 in red zone offense as we all know and have stayed there. On defense, however, they were 31st overall at the end of the regular season but this 3 game stretch here would have been 2nd best overall.
