At least this time, the Tennessee Titans know what they're getting into. The Houston Texans can flat-out play. When they want to. As per their usual, consistency, or lack thereof, has plagued this otherwise talented franchise. They followed their best-ever 5-3 start with a tough loss to the Indianapolis Colts, ...Published on: 15th November, 2009
Since the dawn of free agency in the NFL, patterns and trends in the win-loss column have been less frequent; dynasties tend to be more of a rarity. In a sense, the vices are wrapped in its virtue. What's pleasing to a fan is equally as frustrating—the fortunes ...Published on: 12th November, 2009
Lookout, Tennessee Titan fans. Things seem to actually be going in the team's favor as they prepare to take the field against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Hmmm. This is game that they should win. The last time that was the prevailing sentiment, well, you know, they reeled off six straight losses. But ...Published on: 11th November, 2009
Of all the things that could be said of the Tennessee Titans' enigma of a season thus far, this much is true: they sure keep things interesting. After a disastrous, jaw-dropping 0-6 start, they've reeled off two wins in a row, and, perplexingly enough, have looked pretty good doing it. Remember, ...Published on: 6th November, 2009
So far, so good. With his stellar performance this year, Titans running back Chris Johnson has proved that his prolific rookie campaign wasn't a fluke.

"Okay, guys. Remember what you did last Sunday? Just do that again." One can't help but think that Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher will preach a paraphrased version of that mantra this week as his squad prepares to take on the enigmatic San Francisco 49ers. Tennessee snagged their elusive first win of ...Published on: 3rd November, 2009
Well, this is different. For at least one week, there are no "maybe next time" sentences to type. For at least one week, there is no "coulda, woulda, shoulda" sentiment to opine on. Yes, the Tennessee Titans finally showed some semblance of resolve, handily defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars last ...Published on: 31st October, 2009
In a sense, the Tennessee Titans will be looking in a mirror come Sunday. A mirror of their former selves. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a gritty, hard-nosed football team that plays a full sixty minutes of football. A team that, despite its historic loitering in the purgatory of mediocrity, is ...Published on: 30th October, 2009
It's funny how things can come full circle. A little over a year ago Vince Young and the Tennessee Titans were faring somewhat poorly in a season-opening matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course, we all know the end result: The interceptions. The boos. The benching. To be fair, he was injured ...Published on: 28th October, 2009
Pardon my continued use of the scientific simile, but Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher is beginning to take on the look of a mad scientist. It began with his publicity stunt from a week ago, when he wore the Peyton Manning jersey. Yes, I said "stunt." In spite of ...
