Week 2 Schedule Analysis

Well, week 1 didn’t go exactly as Titans fans planned. A loss at Jacksonville sent an ominous message to fans that the so called “new era” in Titans football may be a mirage. Time will tell but the message so far isn’t looking very inspiring.

9/11/11 Tennessee Titans –vs- Jacksonville Jaguars

LOSS

The Titans came out in week 1 looking remarkably similar to the team we saw in 2010. Penalties and generally lackluster play on offense paved the way for a loss to a team

9/18/11 Baltimore Ravens –vs- Tennessee Titans

Loss

Last Sunday’s game doesn’t bode well for a victory here. Let’s just hope we are competitive. The Ravens looked great last week. History does not bode well for the Titans in this match.

Win

9/25/11 Denver Broncos –vs- Tennessee Titans

One of several games that could go either way but I'm picking the Titans for this one. Will this be the week where fans see Touchdown Jesus? Time will tell.

10/2/11 Tennessee Titans –vs- Cleveland Browns

Win

I am still picking the Titans to win this game but I see a very good Cleveland team they must beat.

10/9/11 Tennessee Titans –vs- Pittsburgh Steelers

Loss

The Steelers loss to the Ravens and the manner in which they lost give hope but the Titans have to get much better to win this game. A lot better. Game Steelers

10/16/11 BYE

10/23/11 Houston Texans –vs Tennessee Titans

Win

Titans win a sqeaker at home.

10/30/11 Indianapolis Colts –vs- Tennessee Titans

Win

To say the Colts did look that good last week is an understatement but I still think they can pull it together and be a team that is hard to beat. Still home field advantage and game Titans.

11/6/11 Cincinnati Bengals –vs- Tennessee Titans

Win

Bengals may be better than expected but this is still a game I expect the Titans to win.

11/13/11 Tennessee Titans –vs- Carolina Panthers

Win

Shoutout to Cam Newton for putting on a show to silence his critics. It won’t do it entirely but good to see the guy come out strong. Still, the team as a whole has a lot of work to do. I still think the Titans can win this game if they fix their mistakes and play disciplined football.

11/20/11 Tennessee Titans –vs- Atlanta Falcons

Win

My prediction for this game still looks solid at the moment. The Falcons looked horrid last week.

11/27/11 Tampa Bay Bucs –vs- Tennessee Titans

Win

No change in my prediction. This is another game that could go either way. The Bucs have a tremendously talented QB in Josh Freeman. The defense is making strides as well. Are there enough offensive weapons around Freeman and can they protect the kid better than last year. Time will tell. Game Titans

12/04/11 Tennessee Titans –vs- Buffalo Bills

Win

The Bills are looking pretty well under Ryan Fitzpatrick who I always thought was a solid quarterback who didn’t get enough respect. At this point I am still picking the Titans to win.

12/11/11 New Orleans Saints –vs- Tennessee Titans

Loss

Before the game last week I thought the Saints’ secondary was suspect and it appears I am right. Still, the Saints are very talented and

12/18/11 Tennessee Titans –vs- Indianapolis Colts

Loss

Again, I think the Colts will pull together and be a competitive team. The Colts win this one at home.

12/24/11 Jacksonville Jags –vs- Tennessee Titans

Win

Can we protect our home? Let’s hope we can. Give this one to the Titans.

01/01/2012 Tennessee Titans -vs- Houston Texans

Loss

Titans split the series with the Texans winning a close one at home.

Week 1 regular season prediction: 10-6
