Official Pats-Titans pregame thread

[MrTibbs]

A gimmicky team designed around hiding the glaring weakness of their quarterback.

DVOA
Overall - 18th
Offense - 19th
Defense - 12th

Ryan Tannehill is ranked 26th on DVOA and 24th in ANY/A.

This is basically a 9-8 team that’s just gotten really lucky.

Close games this season:
33-30 Seahawks (W)
27-24 Jets (L)
34-31 Bills (W)
34-31 Colts (W)
23-21 Saints (W)

4-1 record

Good teams find a way to win when the game is on the line. The problem is Vrabel seems to know a lot of the Belichick schemes and tricks. The Patriots will simply have to win the game in the trenches, mistake free. Oh and the Titans pick and rub routes all game long.

As much as you are trashing them, they have beat better teams than the Patriots have, so I would not just write them off.

TN is no longer in our weight class.

This is the toughest test so far. But without Derrick Henry I feel like Tennessee isn't the same team.

Chargers need to beat them at home.

I was going to go to this game. It would have been my first game in about 3 years. But now that the Ticket Exchange is gone, the prices are a bit more. OK. I can handle $300/ticket for this one game.... wait - $66 per ticket for fees?!?!? Screw you Ticketmaster. I'll watch it on the tube.

What about "you are what your reeord says you are"?

I think that this will be a tough one since they have good line play too. Let's hope we get "bad Tannehill".

There are a good team but 5 of their 8 wins were with Henry.

They not as good as us.

If we do our job, nothing Vrabel or Tannehill do will matter.

They absolutely aren't. Henry accounted for a 1/3rd of their yards 1/3 of their offensive points.

It's unsustainable.

Vrabel is Bill's Kryptonite!!!!!

 

[sb1]

Vrabel is probably COTY right now. Bill would be right up there I think if those close losses to TB and Dal were wins.

-Tony Eason

The problem with Tony Eason as QB was that he was more of a Zima guy.

I hope Vrabel gets thrown under the magic bus!
