Just how good are the Titans?

[MapleLeaf]

Want to get everyone's opinions on them. They've had a VERY easy schedule before tonight and they beat Indy nicely tonight.

Just want to get some thoughts on them. Because they are such a unique team.

TEN has good DEF, good RBs. only thing that will hold them back is WR and QB

 

[yezzir]

They're a team with a VERY solid defense. Plus, they got a quarterback in Kerry Collins who seems to be managing the game well so far. From past experience, these kind of teams are obviously beatable. But when they play D like they did tonight they're money.

 

[Whisper]

Nothing special.
What have they faced? A beat up Jags team. Cincy? Houston? KC? Struggling teams in Baltimore and Minny? They're a an all-around solid team that are the beneficiaries of a weak schedule. Like Jarrod said RB's and defense is their strong point, but that is just not enough to push them that far. So what if they beat Indy? Manning and the Colts have been struggling all season long. Manning looked better tonight, but obviously is still not the Manning we're used to seeing.

I will say though, they look a lot better with Collins than they did with Young.

Difenately a team to beat this year. I have always like Tennessee, back when they had McNair, Mason & George & Dyson and was irrate when Dyson fell short of the endzone in the SB against the Rams. They have always been one of my favorite teams, and I enjoy seeing them succeed. Finally, they are doing that this year and I am very proud of their performance. There O-Line has only given up 2 sacks this year, an avg of a sack per every 78.5 dropbacks.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

the Colts are terrible this year, so they still havent really faced much competition.

Their an OK team, but lets hold off till they play someone half decent.

 

[.GR]

I wouldn't say the Colts are terrible, but yes, they are struggling.

 

[Macken]

titans are the real deal this year.. i dont see a superbowl win in place for them. but they are provin themeselves, who cares if they had a weak schedule. they are still winning. even with Kerry Collins at the helm they are playing pretty good o with a great running game...

 

[jonathanlambert33]

they'll come back down to earth. but they are still a playoff team. maybe a sb contender.

they have a great defense and 2 good rb's.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

compared to the Colts we've been used to seeing in the last 4 or 5 years, yes they are terrible. In relation to the league, their mediocre, at best.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

The Colts suck (even the Bears beat them), so I still wouldn't say the Titans have played anybody note worthy. They'll probably finish with 12-13 wins, but I don't see them making any noise in the playoffs.

 

[yezzir]

Agreed, I never said they were a superbowl contender. At least not yet.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Well, I had thought the Colts might get it until they collapsed.

 

[A.E]

I suggest most of you start buying into the Titans as a Super Bowl contender.

We are already approaching Week 8 and this team still has yet to lose. If you want to pick apart their schedule...no, not the most complicated schedule but at least they have rolled over most of their opponents like a good team should be.

Tennessee has the making of a team capable of contending for the Lombardi Trophy. Awesome D-Line, reliable secondary, good ground game, and a good enough QB. Say what you want about Collins...but he's an experienced veteran, been there before, he can manage a game, and limit mistakes.

Put it this way...if Trent Dilfer can do it with Baltimore & Brad Johnson can do it with Tampa Bay, Kerry Collins can do it with Tennessee.

People are over-looking Tennessee right now. They may not be the best 7-0 team ever...but they are the most consistent team in the league right now.

"Consistency and execution leads to success." AE said it here kids.

I know there Defense is pretty good. Good running game too. Peyton Manning still looks a bit off to me. Or maybe the Titans defense is just that good.

Doesn't matter how off Peyton Manning is. Manning only accounts for 1 of the Titans 7 wins this season.

 

[Lake Louise]

It would be nice to see the Titans get into the SB this year, and it is highly likely that it could happen. They are definately one of the most overlooked teams, especially after making the switch from Young to Collins, but they have started to turn heads their way with their recent play, and the win against the Colts, struggling or not, helps. If they keep it up, we know who we will have representing the AFC in the SB.

Quite possibly 2 of their wins if they play them next time like they did last night.

 

[$tunna]

Even though we're pretty far in the season I still have to see them play some tougher teams because everyone they played is in some sort of a struggling point.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

one team that definetley has a tough upcoming schedule is the G-Men. I really dont even see a weak spot in their schedule, unless your not a believer of the Skins.

As for Titans, they've had really little competition so we were trying to disect the Colts to possibly note them as a good team, and clearly their not.
