Indianapolis at Tennessee



Colts-Titans Preview



Last season, Tennessee and Indianapolis both made the playoffs out of the AFC South as the Titans finished with the league's best record to end the Colts' run of five straight division titles.

Both teams were expected to contend for that crown again this season, but only one looks like it will make a return trip to the playoffs.
Peyton Manning and the Colts look to improve to 5-0 on Sunday night as they face the winless Titans.

Manning has gotten off to a superb start with a franchise-record four consecutive 300-yard games, helping Indianapolis open 4-0 for the fourth time in five seasons.

The three-time league MVP is the league's top-rated passer after completing 31 of 41 for 353 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in last Sunday's 34-17 win over Seattle.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Tennessee Titans - Preview - October 11, 2009 - ESPN

Ok everybody. This game seems like such a lock for the Colts to win this game for fun. However, I got a sneaking feeling about this game that the winless Titans are going to come alive. Hey, don't ask me why just a hunch. I kind of compare the Titan defense with the Jaguar defense asking what happened to both of these dominating defenses we had seen in the last 5 years??? Hey, I don't have any answers but this is my upset pick of the week having the Titans upset the Colts with Manning having his best year ever to start the season. Anybody like my upset pick here?

I am a huge Titans fan. I sure hope your prediction comes true.

Our team & fans need a morale boost for sure.

Care to share what you think the score will be?

[Quack Attack]

Ok Titangirl, it is tough enough for me to pick this incredible upset but now you are asking me to predict a score dear. Ok, since upon your request let me get real creative here: Titans 31 Colts 28. I strongly believe for the Titans to win they will have to score some points and at least play some defense.

[Bette]

I think the Titans will wake up, this is a big divisional rivalry game.
It will be close, but Colts win. 31-28 sounds good to me.

[mike honcho]

35-7 Colts win.

[titangirl311]

Hey Bette,

If the Titans should pull it off this Sunday - Vince will be crying and so will Peyton.

It sure would be good to me!

[Bette]

Who knows titansgirl? Its at home and they stand just as good a chance as the Colts. They have the talent, they just arent doing anything with it for some reason.

Yeah, that sea gets that way sometimes, doesnt it.

[THE COMMISH]

yea, some times your the bug sometimes your the windshield , the bugs last night were wearing titan blue, good grief what a terrible game. the sea of time i saw was more than a little muddy it was more like a mud slide.

[titangirl311]

Kind of tired being the bug instead of the windshield!

Do not know what it is going to take to get our guys on track!

[tntitans21399]

First- I think to get them on track is to blitz more, because the QBs are having to much time to find open guys. Sometimes we get a good rush with the front four and other times the 4 can't even get close.

Second- I think We need to put Vince in. Yeah Vince didn't do to great the past couple of years, but he was doing better then Kollins is right now. Collins has 8 turnovers (7 INT- 1 fumble) and is on pace to have 24+ turnovers. Vince had 13 his rookie year and 17 his second year. That is just 1 a game, while Collins is almost at 2 a game. Collins is a good game manager. Last year we had a great running game and defense so Collins just has to snap the ball. But if the defense isn't stopping people and we start to get down, Collins can't pick his game up and lead a team. He is a manager not a playmaker. Like Vince lead us dfrom being own by 21 to beat the Giants 24-21. That is something Collins can't do. That's way he has been replaced at all the other teams he has played for.

[THE COMMISH]

the defense does have a lot of injuries but there was very little rush on payton sunday nite. if you don't put a little pressure on him. he will pick a team apart.the titan don't look like they are playing as a team. to many flags on offense and defense. to much i don't care mind set. it is time for a gut check for players and coaches alike. if this keeps up they may move the team to detroit.

[VictorYtitans]

I agree that the titans need to blitz more, look at the Jets defence on 3rd downs, usually an all out blitz, or at least show that your going to blitz and then have guys fall back. Especially against Manning you need to switch up formations, get guys moving in and out, anything that doesn't let him get a good look at the defence and call an audible. I honestly wasn't expecting the titans to win that game, pretty much figured it was going to be a blow out with the way Manning is playing and the titans defence is playing. Young scared me when he came in the game late on that first throw, I thought for sure it was going to be an INT. It was good to see him go for a run though, something Collins wouldn't be able to do, and then, just as Collins has I'm sure been frustrated with all season so far, a dropped pass from Washington. Titans receivers just aren't getting it done, something that Young had a problem with as well when he was playing but you don't hear about that when he's in, its all his fault when the receivers he had were in. I think the titans have a better chance against the Patriots, they don't seem to be their dominant selves this year.
