    Seems we and Atlanta are both similar. Seems were both bi polar at times. I'm wondering how we can beat them. Can we run the ball on them?

    I have no idea what to expect out of this Titans team! Will be interesting to see which CJ shows up. Was the last game what we can expect going forward? I am pessimistic right now for some reason. FWIW though, we have had great success against NFC teams as of late.

    We can beat anyone.

    We can also get beaten by any team's third stringers.

    TG will be our main concerns.... we can't let TEs keep burning us... need a LB on him every time and can't risk that switchover to the safety... willing to see what mccarthy would do in coverage, b/c we know that ruud will probably fail..

    I think we're 13-2 in the last 15 games against NFC teams.

    At the beginning of the year I picked us to lose this game, but hadn't counted on us and them having the same record (they're worse than I thought they'd be and we're better than I thought we'd be). I still find myself reverting to last years mindset that Atlanta is a dominant, division winning team. They have the same record as we do.

    They're 3rd against the run in the league, but I think CJ turned the corner in the Cincy game and actually played very well in that game. The only reason he didn't reach 100 yards then was we had to abandon the run and start passing because we fell behind.

    I think this is a close one. Still makes me nervous to think about though.

    I don't like this matchup. The Falcons have been hit hard this week on the OT 4th down decision last Sunday. They'll want to make a statement.

    I'm guessing the Titans will focus on stopping Turner first and I'm not confident the interior DL and Ruud will get it done. If Griffin is covering Gonzo, I pray he jams him at the line which he didn't against Gates. I think Gonzo kills on Sunday.

    The Falcons run D is ranked 3rd in the league so I don't see CJ doing much on the ground. I'm thinking they use him on swing routes and let Cook run a lot of routes in the middle of the field.

    The stupid penalties and 2nd-and-9s can't happen. If Cook has a big day in the middle, I like the Titans' chances. It'll give CJ a chance to get to the edge.
