Meanwhile, back on earth... So, it appears the Tennessee Titans got their inevitable reality check on Sunday, as the streaking Indianapolis Colts rolled to a 27-17 win. However, all is not lost in Nashville. While it's true their slim play-off hopes took a significant hit, there's still an outside shot, given the inconsistent and sporadic nature of AFC teams that don't play in Indiana. When Tennessee got their long-awaited first win against the ...

Don't look now, but the Tennessee Titans are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. And the darndest thing is, their current winning streak isn't merely about pride and moral victory. á They actually have a shot at the postseason. á Not to get presumptuous or cocky, but if the Titans could pull off such a feat, it would be the stuff movies are made of (apologies, of course, to the Baltimore ...

If anything, this is a good problem for the Tennessee Titans to have. á A few months ago, the burning question in Nashville was who the Titans would draft in the wake of what was sure to be a disastrous season. á The incumbent, Kerry Collins, was deemed washed up. áHe was essentially a graybeard that had used up all of his luck and opportunities. á And we all know the story of ...

Initially, Chris Johnson's prediction that he and his Tennessee Titans would win the remainder of their games seemed like a pipe dream. á The prevailing sentiment from players and fans alike was that he was simply overexcited from his team grabbing their long-awaited first victory of the season. á But then the victory at San Francisco happened. á Next, they dispatched the Jacksonville Jaguars. The following week, the Houston Texans followed suit. á Could Johnson ...

This time of year, the chatter of who will likely take home the NFL's Most Valuable Player trophy begins to heat up. By the end of the season, it has inevitably crescendoed into a raucous cacophony of "no, MY player's better!" and "your player's over-rated!" rants. The funny thing is, by the time the award's actually given out, it's ironically an afterthought of sorts. By that time, ...

Lookout, Tennessee Titan fans. Things seem to actually be going in the team's favor as they prepare to take the field against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday. á Hmmm.á This is game that they should win. The last time that was the prevailing sentiment, well, you know, they reeled off six straight losses. But as long as the Titans keep playing the same brand of football that they've been playing the past few weeks, ...

Of all the things that could be said of the Tennessee Titans' enigma of a season thus far, this much is true: they sure keep things interesting. á After a disastrous, jaw-dropping 0-6 start, they've reeled off two wins in a row, and, perplexingly enough, have looked pretty good doing it. Remember, this is the same team that, until three weeks ago, couldn't hold on to passes, couldn't tackle, and couldn't find ...

So far, so good. á With his stellar performance this year,áTitans running back Chris Johnson hasáproved that his prolific rookie campaign wasn't a fluke. And chances are, he'll be a force for years to come, regardless of whether his team is winning or not (see: this year). But just how many years is the question, given the historically volatile nature of his position.á Over the years, all have shown the signs. From Franco Harris ...

"Okay, guys. Remember what you did last Sunday? Just do that again." One can't help but think that Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher will preach a paraphrased version of that mantra this week as his squad prepares to take on the enigmatic San Francisco 49ers. Tennessee snagged their elusive first win of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars with explosive running and mistake-free, albeit pedestrian (pun intended), passing. The 49ers present a different ...

Well, this is different. á For at least one week, there are no "maybe next time" sentences to type. á For at least one week, there is no "coulda, woulda, shoulda" sentiment to opine on. á Yes, the Tennessee Titans finally showed some semblance of resolve, handily defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday. á For once, they put it all together, nearly living up to their potential. á "Nearly," because of a few lingering ...
