2008 Titans

The titans will go two te's most of the day saturday. They'll throw to their te's mostly and the runningbacks. Same gameplan as last time. Jeff fisher will mix the run in also. I look for this game to be won in the kicking game or on special teams. Neither offense will carry the day. Its going to be a slugfest. I just hope fatigue and a few breaks go in our favor.

I think home field advantage might play a big part in these playoffs. Its been quite a long time since I was even close to the stadium in Nashville but from what I remember it was very loud. I doubt this will happen but I would like to see the Titans win big and send a message to the rest of the teams.

Mawae is at least behind our two tackles as far as the O-line goes. Also, I think that the difference between the Titans defense and the Ravens defense (Ravens slightly better) is much smaller than the difference between the Titans offense and the Ravens offense. In the last game, the Titans D made Flacco look really bad. And this game is a playoff game on the road for Flacco instead of an early regular season game at home.

Strategy should be to go somewhat conservative on offense and prevent Baltimore from setting up points with their defense. Flacco was 9/23 for 135 against an OK Dolphins defense - now he's going up against a great defense. I think that everyone is jumping on the Ravens bandwagon because of one big win @ Miami. Titans need to make Flacco beat them, stack the line. Is there really a Ravens receiver that scares anyone?

Of course, I'm sure the Ravens will be employing the same strategy as the Titans - make Collins beat them - don't give Titans D TOs.

I think 17 points guarantees a victory. As has been said before, both teams will force the opposing quarterback to make plays. Rookie vs. veteran - advantage Tennessee.

But that and a a quarter will buy you... Well, nothing.

I don't think its because of one game that people like the Ravens. They were a bad roughing the passer call away from beating us back in the regular season.

If the Titans have 2 or more turnovers the game is over (unless we force a few as well). Probably same for the Ravens as well but they'll be more successful running the ball in this game than us... so we'll see. We may get the ball on the Ravens 35 and not be able to score based on last game against them.

Anyone else see that stupid rapper on ESPN say that the Titans will get punched in the mouth and go crying home.

You mean that same rapper that had a Titans jersey on at the CMT awards?

The former Ravens coach was on Mike&Mike this morning and said that if Flacco had to throw 30 passes then the Ravens would be in trouble. Let's hope the Titans can stop the run and make him pass.

Agreed. The D really needs to step up on this game. The need to play as well as or better than the game against the steelers.

They were great against the Steelers better then I have seen them play all year. That is what is it going to take in order to win.

I just don't think Flacco can win two playoff games on the road. His stats in the Miami game were anemic, and the Titans defense is vastly superior to Miami's.

Dude, you guys didnt even make the playoffs. You're in as much position as Detroit and Cleveland to be talking smack right now.

even bragging about super bowl 3 would be more reasonable at this point

Well if they force 5 turnovers again it won't matter how good our defense is - that's the thing I'm worried about. Kerry can't get rattled. He'll be hit.

I think if he gets hit alot we might see some trouble. What will happen - I think - is we'll see cases where he's throwing the ball away more than we like and not getting sacked...which really isnt good or bad
