Posse Review: Titans vs. Jets Week 3

September 28th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 4 Comments | Filed in Posse Review
Kerry Collins has left much to be desired in late game situations. Like completing a pass.

Another gut punch loss. The game started out to where I thought to myself, “There isn’t a chance for us to win this game.” However, the Titans proved me wrong, to my extreme happiness. Then they went ahead and lost anyways. I, after the game, declared the season dead. I don’t see much evidence to the contrary in regards to how our schedule is lining up. So lets review this game.

Permanent Problems

  • Special Teams: In two of the first three games, you can make a case that special teams cost us the game. With all the other problems the Titans have had with turnovers, worst pass defense in the league, inability to run the 2 minute offense, etc., etc., the Titans could still be 2-1 if their special teams were competent. Heck, if they were good, they might be 3-0. However, I would be willing to settle for competent and 2-1. That is ridiculous. And Jeff Fisher is ENTIRELY to blame. More on that later.
  • Lack of Offensive Identity: Another week in which the Titans spend a good part of the game looking confused on offense. Some flashes of brilliance (AGAIN), but then just complete confusion, offsides at inopportune times and sacks at inopportune times. It’s frustrating to watch, especially when I have seen evidence that this offense could be elite.
  • Pass Defense: While it played better against the Jets than the previous two games, the defense looked its best when they got pressure. Cecil dialed up some blitzes at perfect times. However, the few times there wasn’t enough pressure, Sanchez picked up some big yardage passing and confirmed that this unit will be the Achilles’ heel all year.

Time of Death: 3:07 PM

September 27th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 4 Comments | Filed in Tennessee Titans

The death of the 2009 Tennessee Titans season has been confirmed. On 9/27/2009 at 3:07 PM the season died. Week 3. Killed by Dirty Sanchez, Fat Ryan, and the NEW YORK FUCKING JETS. Oh, and Kerry Collins. 13 straight incompletions to end the game. Thanks asshole.

I feel like I have been punched in the gut. Again. For the 3rd straight week.

Opponent Bashing Saturday: The New Jork Jets

September 26th, 2009 by Spizz | 3 Comments | Filed in Opponent Bashing

I was a bit discouraged when I started writing this bash post. I mean, we are 0-2, yet to win a game. Seemingly, this would make it harder for me to mock other teams. But then I remembered something: opponent bashing isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about how many points we score, how many turnovers we have, or how many touchdowns Nick Harper gives up. It’s just about hate. Pure, unfounded, irrational, and unjustifiable hate for the teams that the Titans play every single week. So sit back and soak in the hate my friends. Win or lose, it’s the one thing we’ll always have.

So, why do the New York Jets suck, you ask?

  • They play at Giants Stadium. How humiliating is that? Their “home” field is named after the better and more popular team that they have to share it with. The damn seats are Giants blue, and the walls are bright red. I think half the attendees of Jets games are just lost or confused Giants fans.
  • Yeah, Mark Sanchez is kind of good so far, but have you seen his face? Holey moley! It’s like a constellation made of birth marks. GQ even had to Photoshop them out, which is funny in and of itself.

    GQ can't cover up the truth.

    Where'd they go?!? GQ can't cover up the truth.

  • Their uniforms are really, really ugly. The grayest shade of sewer sludge green without even a second color to complement it. Carolina is probably the only team to even give them a run for their money in the ugly unis department.

Two special videos and lots more hatred after the jump. (more…)

Blogger Wars: Titans vs. Jets

September 25th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | No Comments | Filed in Blogger Wars

Jets BlogSo, this week with blogger wars I went toe to toe in a quick email exchange with Brian Bassett from thejetsblog.com. It wasn’t as contentious as the Steelers one, but nobody pulled their punches either. I started it off with this email here:

So before the season I figured the week 3 Jets game would be a blip on the Titans radar, a reprieve from a tough early schedule. It now turns out that the Jets may be the hardest team on their early schedule that have brought returns of 0-2. However, I am undaunted! I will explain why the Titans will beat your Jets:

1) Mark Sanchez. Throwing well against the Texans is a minor accomplishment even on 3rd down as Chris Johnson proved he could run for 60 yard touchdowns TWICE on 3rd and 19 on them.  He then struggled for -2 yards or something ridiculous in the first half against New England before realizing “Wait… these guys are SLOW!” and putting together one good drive. Now I know the Jets running game has looked good, but they haven’t faced a team that can shut down the run like the Titans. They’re 0-2 because they shut down the run and give up 377 yards passing, which means it will be all on Marky Mark to try to replicate that. Good luck.

2) It is a MUST WIN, and while the Titans have been undisciplined and inconsistent and lots of other bad words, the one thing they are is talented. This week either keeps their season on life support or ends it, and I believe Jeff Fisher will have them ready.

3) It’s the Jets. They always ruin good things. Without the Lions, the Jets would be the laughing stock.

4) Brett Favre curse is not done. It has one more shot to take.

5) Jets defense is amazing, but the Titans have the offensive line to contend with it.

6) Rex Ryan is quite possibly a crazy man.

Well there you go. Those are my reasons as to why the Titans can and will win this game against a lot of odds. Lets see if you can refute these borderline genius points.

Your move, sir.

Mr. Bassett then came back with his shots at my brilliantly composed email: (more…)

Posse Preview Week 3: Titans vs. Jets

September 25th, 2009 by Rogersworthe | 1 Comment | Filed in Posse Preview

0-2. That is where they are. My beloved team…. 0-2. So, this makes the Jets game potentially the most important game of the season. If the Titans win, they’re back in the hunt, self confidence begins to rise, things feel like it just might work out. If they lose… season over and talk begins of potentially playing Vince Young. So, now that I have stared that reality in the face and kept from blacking out, lets preview this biznatch.

Hopefully we will see more of this and less of receivers not covered 35 yards downfield

Hopefully we will see more of this and less of receivers not covered 35 yards downfield

Strengths for the Titans

  • Offensive Line: Well, I can’t say “Controlling the Line of Scrimmage” anymore because on defense the Titans can’t do that. At best one can say they hold serve on the D-Line. However, the O-Line is doing its thing, keeping Collins upright and giving Johnson and LenDale lanes to run in. It’s a semi-bright spot on a team that doesn’t have many.
  • Stopping the Run: If the Jets can’t run the ball, all of a sudden Mark “Chiquita” Sanchez has to play amazingly well with mediocre receivers to put up points. Luckily the Titans have looked awesome against the run in between the 35 yard pass plays they have routinely given up. This has to hold in the Jets game. If the Jets get any sort of running game going…. well then we’re in for a long day of Michael Griffin breaking on play action fakes (which he might do anyways).
  • Running the Ball: They’ve proven they can do it in spurts, however the Titans have not done it consistently and in a way to ice a game. It might be Heimerdinger trying too hard to get the passing game going, it might be the boom and bust nature of Chris Johnson, or both. But whatever it is, the Titans need to get back to popping 14 play 8 minute drives off where 9 of the 14 plays are runs. It will help the old defense out, it will demoralize the other team, it will ice any leads they can get. The Texans should’ve seen A LOT MORE runs, but did not and the Titans ended up losing a 14 point lead as a result.

Lando’s Hotties and Fuglies: Week 3

September 23rd, 2009 by Lando | No Comments | Filed in Fantasy Football

Week 2.  In French this literally means “worst week in football, fantasy included.”  Titans lose, and to rub salt in the wounds the guy I play has a terrible team and ALL of his players have amazing weeks.  Please shoot me in the groin.  No wait, just go and shoot Greg Jennings in the groin for playing the full game and getting ZERO catches for ZERO yards.  Thanks a lot big guy.  Way to cost me a game.

Well enough of my whining for one article.  The time has come to talk of bigger things.  Of the hot to trot studs of the week.  Oh and the ones that you would want to stay as far away from as possible.  Because most assuredly, if you love fantasy as much as I do, the fuglies will fill your week with misery and woe.  Thanks Greg.  Just going to give you another friendly shout out.

Hotties:

  • Adrian Peterson:  He just can’t get off this list.  Clearly the NFL wants Brett Favre to win another Super Bowl.  San Francisco at home.  Killer Croc could have an off week and still get 90 yards and a score.  Wish I had the first pick in a draft for once.  Just going to say it again for all of you who didn’t hear.  AP is smoking this week.
  • Matt Forte:  Has had a couple of rough weeks.  I think he is going to pull through.  Especially this week going against Seattle who let Frank Gore have his way with them.  Also don’t know if he can take anymore of Cutler’s crying.  Don’t think I’d be able to handle it.
  • Fred Jackson:  Oh Fred, Fred, Fred.  You are my rock.  My anchor.  If my fantasy team could have a face right now it would be you.  Also plays New Orleans, and the last time I looked they just ask for the ball back after every offensive possession and forfeit a TD to the other team.
  • Philip Rivers:  Miami is horrendous against the pass.  Peyton Manning just took them apart piece by piece.  I think Rivers is in for a big week.  Side note, I tried to add taunting as a stat you could get points in.  Turns out you can.  Which makes this guy even hotter.
  • Aaron Rodgers:  The only consistent player on the entire Green Bay team.  If the O-Line can’t protect him against St. Louis than I’ll stop writing these posts.  For a day or two.
  • Marques Colston:  Last week he showed us why New Orleans decided to pick him up in the seventh round.  This guy is hot, and Drew loves to give him the ball.  I would too.
  • Andre Johnson:  To quote the great Homer Simpson,”stupid, sexy Andre Johnson.”  This guy is the best wide out in the league.  And he’s going to put up oodles upon oodles of points this week.  Start him.
  • Whoever Peyton Manning throws to this week:  It’s either Reggie Wayne or Dallas Clark.  I would start either.  Both are OK looking enough to go on a few dates with, and they put out often enough to keep calling.
So glad he shaved that off
