Titans Wrapup

Yes, the Titans lost to the Bucs. I was pretty emotionally spent from the ND game on Saturday to feel too down, but I couldnt help but remember my fear going into the bye week in a post two weeks ago - that we would go flat and lose some of the offensive chemistry we had. It appears that has come to fruition, as our offense performed very inconsistently and is turning the ball over.

The bright spot is the defense, which continues to hold teams in the teens. Certainly we have only played one high power offense (the Colts), but the Titans defense has performed admirably.

Yes, we gave up a 70 yard drive for the game winning field goal on defense. However, two things come to mind there:

• Our defense played great the whole game, so 13 points by the other team should be low enough bar for our offense
  
• Jeff Garcia through a critical pass on the drive when he was arguably across the line of scrimmage

I've searched YouTube and cannot find video footage of the play. It was so close that it at least should have been reviewed, being in the last minute of the game and on a critical third down conversion. No replay occurred, and the Bucs were in position to kick a game winning field goal.

The offense was largely stagnant the entire game, but having Vince Young out with an injury most of the second half didnt help either.

Next week the Titans play at Houston in a huge game for both teams. Winning this game will give the Titans a legup over all division teams except the Colts, as winning the AFC South is likely impossible and a wild-card birth is more likely this teams goal. With the game being in his hometown, I bet Vince Young will play and play very well.
