Collins Helps Titans Go to 3-0 With 31-12 Win Over Texans

Overall a very good game. Like many, I was a little ticked about the second half playcalling, but I guess that is just the way it is.

 

I agree, but on the other hand I think we ran the offense that way because we could. We can afford to grind out the clock with a 12 point lead against a weak offense because our D is that stellar, as they proved several times in the second half of that game. Nevertheless, I'd like to see some plays that say 'we want to drive the nail into their coffin' instead of 'lets just hope we can run the clock down' We let them hang around for the entire second half where if we just came out of the gate blasting we could have laid the knock out blow down in the third quarter, then commence with the clock-grinding

 

Did you get that, Rolltide?

 

Collins got me excited but the Titans offense.
I believe now!

 

Yeah, the 'let's just hope we can run the clock down' method backfired on us in a 27-26 loss during the 2006 season when we played Baltimore. We just kept giving them opportunities to come back and they did just that. If we would have concentrated on 'driving the nail into their coffin' with a few more points (at least a couple field goals for crying out loud) then we would have definitely won that game. And I know we didn't exactly have some of the tools on the team that we do now but we could have at least attempted to get in field goal range but if I recall correctly we just kept calling basic run plays that failed time and time again.

 

Teams who play not to lose, usually lose. Fisher is getting a little too conservative, and what happens when we play Minnesota next week and they will stop our run game. We will see if Collins is for real or not.

 

If VY put up the same stat line as Collins everyone would be talking about how bad he played. Thats the truth.

 

It took me a couple of minutes to catch it, but nice sig TJ.

 

So you believe people would be praising Young if he had thrown for 180 and a TD with a bad INT? I think Collins was decent. He did somethings that I think Young at this point wouldn't have done....like hurrying the team to the line after J-Macs "catch". But we've all seen Young have similar stats and get blasted the next day.
