    Titans offense surrendered 13 points, scored 16 points. If the titans offense could somehow play against the Titans offense, we'd have a good game.

    To those of you who have been critical of the offensive calls in yesterday’s game, check out the first half stats:

    11 First Downs
    194 Total Yards
    63% Third Down Efficiency
    50% Red Zone Efficiency
    48 Rushing Yards
    146 Passing Yards
    QB Rating 98.5

    This is solid against a defense like the Vikings. Very solid.

    Sure, the Titans needed to score more points but I think it’s clear scheme wasn’t a problem in the first half. Blame 3-4 plays in the second when the Titans imploded.

    No team recovers from such huge mistakes.

    Even tho we lost and the crazy turnovers, this was an improvement from last year. We actually had a decent running game. We were completing/catching tough passes. Defense stopped the run. As other have said, you can only cover a wr when the qb has all day to throw.

    The lions will be even tougher matchup. We need pressure to the QB and definitely no turnovers on offense. It's going to be a good game...I'm hoping.

    Anxious to get back out there next week. Hold AP to 20 rush yards & lose the game. Unbelievable. We beat ourselves. We were the better team out there. Minnesota didn't score any G*d damn points. 3 disastrous plays. G*d damnit

    I didn't say anything about halftime. I said that the Vikings had EARNED 6 points - not gotten them off turnovers. So the score at the time was 10-6, THEN the turnovers happened. Try to think a little deeper.

    You sound like you ran out of xanax. You should get your prescription refilled.

    I think we'll see a lot of running next Sunday and, if they can't find a way to get pressure on Stafford, will be eaten alive.

    I don't see a scenario where this Titans offense scores 30 on anyone. They're going to need string together some long, time-consuming drives next week.

    Couldn't agree more seeing some of this. We have to figure out how to get pressure on the opposing QB's and fast.

    That's what I was thinking. We would have to score some points against the lions to even have a shot.

    I still think we're able to score some points in games. If we wouldn't have shot ourselves in the foot, the game would obviously been closer, but a low scoring one anyways. Both of our defenses were playing good, for an example look at the 1st half.

    I think we score a lot of points next week

    But I believe the Lions may score even more lol

    This will be a 33-30 type of game IMO
