How hard does our schedule look after week one?

I think we lose to dallas and the giants tbh. Dennis dixon worries me somewhat if he can scramble on us. Will be a tough game but I think we win a close one

 

Pittsburgh we have at a distinct disadvantage. So what if Dennis Dixon is QB? Roethlisberger scrambles and is a better QB. Their OL is porous and down starters. I don't care about their defense. We've put up 31 with less offense.

Dallas obviously has problems. They're a good team, but obviously can't get out of their own way. They have a month to get it together, but I like our chances here. McRath is back for this game, and Brown, Morgan and Hayes should all be healthy by then.

The Giants, while good, aren't really the same team, IMO. Yes, they're back to their pressure ways, but if they pin it back, VY will use his legs, and if they sit back, he'll pick them apart enough to keep the chains moving. Oh, and aren't we at 100% red zone efficiency? I like our DBs versus their WRs, and I like our lines better. We will be getting more pressure on them this game than they will on us. Big factor here? : The Giants will have just played the Colts on MNF. I should also mention they just worked out 10 players to "update files" including 3 DBs. I do think they'll test Young, but their back 7 is their weakness, and I think this will be one of those games Young gets noticed.

I don't sleep on teams, and everyone makes a good point about the Chargers, but they are NOT getting back on top of us this year, even with McNeill and Jackson in the mix.

As long as the Titans play disciplined as they did on Sunday...real talk...I expect this team to be 6-0, gathering up Jacksonville as well. The story will be "Reversal of Fortune: The Tennessee Titans opened up last year 0-6, and now have come storming out the gates 6-0. This is an improved version of the team we saw go 8-2 in the last 10 games of the 2009 season. This is the team no one wants to play."

Book it, Danno.

 

You can never judge NFL's strength of schedule until December.

 

Well it tends to look easier. But looks can be deceiving. The Titans have to show the Steelers who the boss is in Nashville first. 2-0 and then we can talk schedule. I would be happy with 5-3 at the bye week. Besides it takes at least 2 weeks and probably 3 to find out which teams are still on top or rising to the top.
The question of the week is ... can the Titans score on the Steelers?

The Titans have an advantage, although it's a small one. These Steelers haven't seen the new offense led by VY and CJ, like that matters to the Steelers D ... NOT. And the Titans D knows the Steelers pretty well.

 

the two houston showdowns could be interesting

 

The games that I'll be ready for (should be really good challenges and a measuring stick)...

Texans 2x
Colts 1x (last game of season doesn't count
Jacksonville

I think our divisional games will be our toughest matches. I just feel like our division is loaded with good teams. I think 3 teams have a shot at making playoffs (Colts, Texans, Titans).

 

You will be happy at 5-3... Really???

 

lol - there are people here hoping for a WC appearance
