If this is like last week, then I'm predicting Rusty surprising folks today with real good yardage stats (could be with fumbles, INTs and plenty of bad but...) today.

I'm of the opinion that Vince and Kerry think too much and Rusty just fires it. There's bad to that and a sorta fine line to walk here but after watching KC and VY, I'm thinking a guy with no fear will be a breath of fresh air at times.

The Titans stopped a 3rd down

 

[Andy Hicks]

Smith hits Justin Gage perfectly on 3rd down for a 30 yard gain, but Gage can't hold on after he was smacked

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Smith better step it up or CJ is going to kill me

 

[Andy Hicks]

Smith throws an intercept on his own 1 yard line. It was a long lob to Nate Washington that was just begging to be picked off

 

[togo]

Just traded for Foster this week. He' s the work horse, catches passes, and gets the goal line carries.....

"1-1-TEN1 (12:51) M.Schaub pass short middle to J.Dreessen for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN."

Ouch!

 

[OnTheReg]

I say this every week, but oh man do I have to openly question the Titans play calling. It is simply HORRIBLE!

They finally put the ball in CJ's hands, and it's just to reverse the ball to Washington.

You have a rookie QB, why not take pressure off him and feed CJ???

 

[Andy Hicks]

Moss caught a pass

 

[Andy Hicks]

Houston dominating time of posession and between Foster and Ward are killing the Titans

 

[intrinsic]

Any homers know why D Ward is getting so many looks this early?

Is Foster banged up??

 

[The Man With No Name]

How bad was Witherspoon hurt?

 

[Ever Present Lurker]

Any homers know why D Ward is getting so many looks this early?Is Foster banged up??

After 2 long(ish) runs, Ward spelled him for half of drive and got 4 carries, the Foster came back in.ETA - Foster has 17 touches with 5 mins to play in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Andy Hicks]

Looks like teh wind was just knocked out of him

 

[footballguy#1]

Andre !!!!!

 

[OnTheReg]

That's twice that Kubiak should have rewarded Foster with a TD there. First and goal right after the great Foster run and catch, and he does play action to Andre. Call me crazy, I just think you pay it off.

"Last Play: 1-2-TEN 2(4:47) M.Schaub pass short right to A.Johnson for 2 yards, TOUCHDOWN."Ok now I'm getting pissed!Both times 1st down at the 1 and 2 yard line. What, don't they trust Foster at the goaline??/

lol relax, he already has 50/50 rush and receiving yards and we're not even at halftime........only worry is houston may be up by so much they just let ward carry it later in the 4th quarter

Yep, 2 bunny hops where they threw on 1st down.

Relax???!! Don't they know I'm fighting for my playoff life here??!!(although the yardage is very good right now)

 

[Andy Hicks]

Chris Johnson took a bit of knock. Ringer in now. See if he's back next drive

it could be worse, you could have CJ

 

[togo]

Good thing I have Peyton Hillis.

 

[Andy Hicks]

Chris Johnson took a bit of knock. Ringer in now. See if he's back next drive

Johnson was back on the field, but the 2 minute warning happened before the play was made

 

[Andy Hicks]

Moss caught his 2nd pass. Should have been a booth review, but the Titans got the play off before the review.

 

[JbizzleMan]

CJ is killing me.

4 total yards for CJ in the first half Bye Bye season.

 

[We Tigers]

Too bad about Foster's two almost-TDs, but he'll get some more work in the second half. Up 14-0 at the half, they'll pound him as long as they can to open the third. 114 yards in a half'll do nicely.

haha i hear ya, i started schaub, so it's too bad foster got stopped at the one......but as long as one of them finishes the drive with a td

 

[inca911]

Any Nate Washington news? I see he's at -0.8 points at the half..

 

[Instinctive]

I'm against Chris Johnson today but...

What the heck are the Titans doing with him? When you have someone that good, and a rookie QB, and Randy Moss, here's your gameplan:

Stretch

Draw

Trap

Play Action BOMB

Screen

Check down

Play Action BOMB

Get it? You give the ball to your superstar, then you use that threat to throw bombs to your OTHER superstar. Am I missing something here? Titans deserve to miss the playoffs with this playcalling.

 

[hailskins81]

I think Todd Haley is calling in the play calls.

[Irish Chaos]

how do the refs keep bailing houston out every time with bull#### calls...

 

[CGRdrJoe]

do the titans really not have another option at qb

 

[Bad_Mo]

CJ is killing me.

This is where I normally pile on CJ as well and then eat my words when he ends up with 100+ and a TD. I don't think he'll be making me eat crow today.

 

[TS Garp]

What a boring game. You have a couple of the most exciting players in football and it's barely watchable.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Fisher really getting the most out of his guys.

FYI...their season ended last week. Actually when they lost in Miami too.

 

[Masked Vigilante]

The Titans stink. Time to blow it up in Tallahassee.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

JaMarcus Russell is enjoying this Rusty Smith performance

 

[SuperGreen]

wow, andre johnson throwing haymakers...benches clear...finally something exciting happened in this snoozefest

Both need to be heavily fined.

Finnegan needs to be kicked out of the league. I hate that guy.

possible suspension?

 

[TS Garp]

What happened/started it? Missed it.

 

[THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA]

nice combo by AJ there, right cross and uppercut. I bet he wont mess with AJ no more.

 

[towney]

What started the brawl? Was it Finnegan

On a fantasy perspective this sucks as an AJ owner.

 

[nysportsfan]

Was there something going on before that? Finnegan gave a straight shove to AJ's face to start it on that play, and everything went to ####.

Yeah, Finnegan started it by hitting Johnson in the chin
