Titans week - AFC Divisional Round


Recommended Posts

I just read that the Titans are trying to limit the # of Bengal fans at their place on Saturday by putting a block on electronic ticket transfers more than 24h prior to Saturday's kickoff.  Lol.

 

Actually, we should have anticipated this - the Nashville Predators do this to keep Blackhawk fans out of their arena, not surprised that the Titans are trying this too.  Here's the link:

Cincinnati Bengals fans are probably going to travel pretty well to the team’s divisional-round playoff game against the Tennessee Titans. It is, after all, a pretty manageable road trip and the team just overcame a 31-year playoff drought. And the Titans want to make sure Bengals fans can’t swarm the stadium on Saturday.

 

So much so, the Titans have changed their ticket transfer policy just in time for the game.

 

Brooke Ellenberger, Vice President of Ticketing for the Titans, explained why the rules are getting changed, per Chris Davis of News Channel 5: “We want Nissan Stadium to be two tone blue. And so by limiting this transfer window, it also limits the number of visiting team fans that we’ll have in the stadium. By limiting that transfer time would limit some of the resale and some of that transfer activity that would happen in advance.”

 

Under the new rules, tickets can’t be transferred to someone else until 24 hours before kickoff.

Per Cincinnati.com:

 

CBS announced Thursday that Trent Green will fill in for Charles Davis as color analyst for its broadcast of Saturday's playoff game between the Bengals and Titans in Nashville.

 

Davis will miss the game because of COVID-19 protocols. Green will join play-by-play broadcaster Ian Eagle in the booth, with Evan Washburn as sideline reporter and Gene Steratore as a rules analyst.

Green is awful, he's still hates the Bengals because of how Robert Geathers almost decapitated him.

Superb analysis from PFF why the Titans have very little chance of slowing down the Bengals' passing attack, and why it has simply been the best in the NFL all season long.  Sorry, Aaron, Josh, Pat and Tom, but yours isn't as good as ours, according to PFF, as they put it,..."according to any metrix you want to pick from".

 

 

"SLOWING DOWN THIS BENGALS PASSING ATTACK ISN’T GOING TO BE EASY

The idea is fairly simple: Create pressure without sending extra rushers while keeping the back-end of the secondary strong enough to limit explosive plays. Theoretical benefits include both producing a less god-like version of Burrow as well as possibly getting head coach Zac Taylor to do silly things like run the football, which he did on a rather meh 59% of his snaps in the wild-card round.

Of course, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Actually implementing this game plan against high-end talents like Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Boyd is far easier said than done — but you could imagine.

The Bengals didn’t exactly stand out as the most complete team entering the playoffs. In fact, they ranked just ninth in the NFL by my calculations. Still, teams don’t win games by being complete; they win by scoring more points than the other side, and the Bengals’ top-ranked passing game gives them a chance to do just that on any given Sunday (or Saturday, I guess).

The scariest part about all of this? Burrow has started just 27 career professional games. Good luck, Titans."

Maybe he learned when to slide after that. He waited too long and slid under him. Even the refs apparently agreed since there was no flag, if I recall.

Crap. They must've heard I was happy to get Davis. They really can't do better than Green? Beats Fouts, I guess.

First six catches by chase against raiders converted a first down. I trust burrow will take what is given him. Tee had a few drops Saturday including one at goal line. He’s due for a bounce back game if Tennessee rolls coverage to chase.

And, Boyd dominated against them Week 8 last year, while Bernard scored 2 TD's, one through the air, in place of Mixon.  Perine was fantastic in that, too.

 

TEN has the NFL's #1 Safety and #9 Safety per PFF.  Other than that, they have nothing on DEF.  Last year Taylor picked on Jonathan Joseph over a dozen times as their weakest link.  Pretty certain that Taylor/Burrow/Callahan will find their weakest link and exploit it until they figure out a way to stop it, and then move on to their next weakest link(s).  It's what we do, which is why any of our five main Offensive threats can go off for 100 yds and 2 scores on any given week.

 

If Stanley Morgan can get in there to shorten our beginning drive positions, that will be another huge boost.  Even with two great Safeties, it won't stop us from attempting multiple deep passes, at least four or five, during the contest....as soon as Burrow spots single coverage against a beatable defender, he's going for it.
