V.Y. to start versus Jags!

I'll add, if Warner played, the game wouldn't have even been close.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Big props to Vince, he did it.

[BallHawk]

Still don't buy him as a franchise QB. He's a solid starter, but he's never gonna live up to his draft position.

I agree. He certainly has played better than I expected but still feel like he has just been along for the ride, other then today. Chris Johnson is carrying that team - record tying 6th straight games with 125+ yards, and the most rushing yards EVER in November.

Can somebody who watched the game explain to me how the Titans had so many yards and so few points?

532 yards and only 20 points? They only had 1 turnover, and the kicker was 2/2. Were they just driving to Arizona's 45 like every time and then punting?

I just sorta watched, but Tennessee's first 2 drives went down to the goal line I believe before they kicked really short field goals. Think the Packers. We drive 85 yards only to kick a field goal and that'll kill you.

Later in the game Tennessee completed a 50 yard pass but the receiver fumbled it.

LOL, love how everybody is taking credit away from Vince... Chris Johnson was playing and playing well earlier in the year too. Could it possibly be that since Vince came into the game (another threat) defensives couldn't solely account for Johnson!?!?!

Naaaaaahhhhh. That would require too much critical thinking!

Fact is this. They went from down in the dumps 0-6 to 5-6 on the arm and legs of this guy, who is > 66% winning percentage historically, with 9 straight wins under his belt.

You can say the D is playing better or Johnson this Johnson that, but what changed? Maybe the D is playing better because Young is keeping the O on the field more and keeping them fresher? Maybe Johnson is going off because Young is opening things up?


Naaaaaaaaahhhhhh. Easier just to take credit away from the hot hand on a 9 game winning streak.

The Titans were severely underperforming during their start. It's not like people expected them to play that poorly. In addition, they were working in a new D coordinator who had never served as a coordinator before.

Lol at you trying to knock someone on critical thinking.

Partial 2008 - The Packers are the same exact team as in 2007 except they replaced Favre with Rodgers. Rodgers is responsible for the losses.

Forum - But Partial, what about the vastly inferior special teams and defense

Partial 2008 (Searching for response) - No, Rodgers is at fault. He doesn't have it

[Partial]

Packers were largely the same team too and I have little doubt the D suffered as a result of the decrease in quality of O. I've stated numerous times my belief that in order to play good D and ST you need good O. To play good O you need good D and ST. To play good ST you need good D and Good O.

You put the previous QB on this Packers team and they are the team to beat in the NFC without a doubt.

Titans underachieved? According to whom? It's about what I expected with a horrible QB starting and letting go a superstar. They got hot last year and faded in the crunch. They were overrated all year imho. We hung with them and we were an inept team.

[Zool]

Lost the first 3 games by a total of 10 points. Honked the next 3 and then the D stepped up. I doubt Kerry Collins had much to do with the Pats putting up 59.

[BallHawk]

Partial, if you think that Chris Johnson is performing so well because defenses are busy scheming to shut down Vince Young, Vince freakin' Young....well, then I guess anything else I would say from here on is meaningless.

"Young won his ninth straight start and improved to 23-11 in his career

Yo son, that's amazing

[retailguy]

I don't want to come off as rubbing it in your faces, but a lot of you guys were huge pricks to me over this. This stat is pretty telling right here.

"Young won his ninth straight start and improved to 23-11 in his career by driving the Titans 99 yards on 18 plays in the final 2:37. He converted three fourth downs on the drive, two to Britt. He threw for a career-high 387 yards in beating Leinart in their first meeting as professionals and first overall since the BCS national championship in January 2006."

How else could this post come off, except rubbing it in our faces?

Partial, funny, but no where in this post did you mention that the OL has only given up 11 sacks all year, and only 7 before the Cardinals? What do you suppose would happen, if, Young was sacked more often? Do you think he'd be putting up Pro Bowl numbers like Aaron Rodgers?

The TEAM has improved down there, and Young has been one of the sparks for that improvement. But don't forget about the other aspects of the team, they are important too.

Speaking of critical thinking:
Vince Young's Nine Game as Starter in a Regular Season Because During This Streak The Chosen One Lost a Playoff Game Also Regardless of Leaving the Game While Losing Win Streak:

2007-12-16 @ KAN W 26-17
2007-12-23 NYJ W 10-6
2007-12-30 @ IND W 16-10 (Losing to Colts 10-7 when Young leaves game and Collins comes in - Also the game in which Dungy and Fisher had an agreement that Dungy wouldn't use his timeouts to get the ball back at the end of the game)
2007-01-06 @ SD L 6-17 (Playoffs)
2008-09-07 JAX W 17-10
2009-11-01 JAX W 30-13
2009-11-08 @ SFO W 34-27
2009-11-15 BUF W 41-17
2009-11-23 @ HOU W 20-17
2009-11-29 ARI W 20-17

Not so much a winning streak as a winning donut.

he would be if he'd played all season. others have too big of a head start on him for this season.



he was poised too during those drives in the second half. he never has a panicked look on his face. very calm it seemed. like him a lot.
