Official Pats-Titans pregame thread

[TheRazorsEdge]

Everyone in my circles are terrified of the Titans and I just don't see it.

I don't like the Titans under Vrabel. They sometimes feel more like the old pats than we do. It is weird. But without Henry they are a different team. I like our chances.

I feel good at least about our defense vs their offense. Bellichecks vs tannehill. Bracket brown and take him out of the game, then who else on that offense can hurt us? Seems a favorable matchup there.

Our offense vs their defense could be a tough one , but I think as long as we protect the ball and dont hand them tds like stafford we should be okay.

IF we win this one too...season start to look incredible...

I think we can score a bunch of points on them.

It's the same D that Mac just faced which means he has a better idea what he's going up against.

They have a decent pass rush.

31st in passing yards allowed.

A decent run D but not dominant.

These next four games will be about turnovers and special teams, which gives the Pats a slight edge, other than the rookie QB issue.

Gotcha, haven’t seen much of Tennessee this year other than the rams game and some of last week. D looked pretty good those games, but i do see a few 30 burgers on tge schedule

Their D can def cause some problems. I don't think we'll light them up but I do think we can move the ball.

This feels like a 24-13 kinda game.

Really need to win this one to confirm the recent high many are feeling is well founded. A loss coupled with the TB and Dallas loses quickly turns the narrative to middle of the road team that can win some games and beat up on the dregs but not much more than that.

 

[Clonamery]

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

He lost to the Jets. A defense that is legendary bad. Vrabel is therefore disqualified. Forever.

 

[BlueThunder]

Pats just have to avoid costly turnovers........don't shoot themselves in the foot..They can win this one.

Is that you, @Tunescribe ?

Yes but numbers don’t lie.

I feel great about this game, mainly because Vrabel can no longer beat them simply by exposing Brady’s weaknesses.

 

[Rob0729]

The Titans have been able to keep winning without Henry, but I am not sure that the loss of Henry will catch up with them this week or next and the wheels come off the bus pretty quickly after that. Sometimes teams rally with a big injury like that, but that only lasts so long. Plus they have played a Rams team that has struggled the last few weeks and the Saints who lost their starting QB.

Vrabel has had success against the Pats (2-0) because he knows the Pats' system so well. But I think he must not be excited of the prospects of Tannehill going up against this Pats defense.

It was the Pats offense that failed miserably in that playoff game. The defense let Henry do his thing but pretty much kept Tannehill in check and gave the offense a chance to get back into the game. As I remember. Would be nice if Bill had a couple extra days this week to study how the Titans run their offense now without Henry.
Oh wait...

TN is still committing to the run big time. 50/50 run/pass. They have to or it'll expose Tanny.

Problem is instead of ave 148yds/gm on the ground w/ Henry they are now ave 67ish w/o him.

If Edelman catches the pass, the Pats probably win.

Thats a bold statement with that offense.
