Enemy Fan Forums: Tennessee Titans

Regarding Barr:

Not as big of news as Von Miller missing the game vs us but Ill take any starter from the other side not playing. Lord knows we have our own issues, take all the help we can get.

This game scares me because it's a classic "Trap" game.

0-2 vikings this Sunday and then it's Steelers 3-0 or 2-1 next Sunday.

Vikings have one of the worst offenses in the NFL after 2 weeks. Kirk Cousins has looked horrible, but so has our secondary. Maybe this will be the week we can get things on track. Either that or our defense get their offense on track.

Their signal caller Barr that’s a huge loss. Jonnu and Henry down the middle all day.

Vikings have quietly been regressing for a few years now - I picked Colts to beat them in a few pick leagues (only guy to do so in each) - just don’t like this Viking squad.

Hopefully Henry can get on track on this game with a huge break and run - because it ain’t happening vs Pittsburgh next that’s for certain.

I see a easy win here....we will dominate through the air and ground. Our offensive line together with Henry and 2 powerful tight ends are too much for the Vikings....Tannehill will torch them. Look for Henry to rush around 140, and Tannehill 250....Titans 31 Vikings 17.

We should win. I don't fear their passing game, even with our weakened secondary.

Need to play better more disciplined football up front, or Cook could be a problem.

Need our DBs back. Minshew’s sorry a$$ had WRs running wide open all day. Cousins is much better and will scorch the secondary if given the time and open WRs like the D allowed to Jax.

Cook is also a good back, look what Robinson just did.

This is gonna be a tough game, records aside.

I think Tennessee is the better team, so victory should happen but not excited for the matchup.

Titans 27- Neanderthals 23

Not a trap game. We’re 2-0 and they’re 0-2 yes, but it’s not like we blew either opponent off the field. And the Vikings will be desperate to salvage their season and they are playing at hone. Another slugfest.

They have not been playing well, but they will be desperate.

We need to get the W here as we have many much tougher games (on paper) coming up...

The Titans are one of the best teams in the NFL even with their issues. They should be able to beat a mediocre Vikings team in an empty stadium, No NFL game is a sure win and honestly an NFC game is pretty meaningless in the overall importance BUT if this team is to make a real SB run they need to compile wins against inferior opponents.

Titans are the better team. Need to jump on the Vikes early and not give them hope of resurrecting their season. While this game is about as non must-win as they come, a good curb stomping sure would be a nice change of pace.

Vikings have also been unlucky and faced 2 very good teams the first two weeks. They essentially got completely shut down by the Colts but the Colts defense might be the best in the AFC and definitely twice as good as the Titans defense.

Titans until last season have given me nothing to be positive about. I know what it takes to win in the NFL and right now the Titans currently don’t have it. Should they start winning I’ll change my tune but a lot needs to change.

The Vikings are going to play this game like their season is on the line. 0-3 is not good at all.

I agree we should beat them, but overlooking them is a mistake. Don’t overlook a very desperate team. I hope we’re not looking ahead to PIT.

Number 1 priority is containing Cook.

Cousins has to be loving the TN match up. Their secondary is a mess and they have no pass rush. This game has the looks of a bad loss to me. Tannehill will have to throw it to win this one to score lots of points.

I'm sure there are players on every team that you need to keep engaged in the game planning and meetings leading up to a game.

That's probably easier vs big name teams ... prime time games or rivals.

Traveling to the 0-2 Vikes doesn't necessarily get em pumped up.

Hell we got posters saying this game is meaningless!

The amount of players out on the Vikings is crazy. The Titans should go into town and smoke them. This feels like trap game material.

The Titans have gone longer without beating the Vikings (2008) than they've gone beating any team. And they haven't won at Minnesota since 1992. The only team they've gone longer without beating on the road is the Chargers. They're 1-6 in their last 7 against the Vikings.

I have a feeling we get good Cousins this week.

I could see us losing this game, but I also don’t think their defense can hold us under 30, so who knows? I’ve learned my lesson, no more pregame confidence.

Offensively, we match up well with the Vikings defense. They struggle against the run and have young CBs who are going through serious growing pains right now. Henry should feast if they don’t sell out to stop him and Tannehill should do the same if they do decide to go all out in containing Henry. As long as we don’t have any turnovers or drive killing penalties, we should be good.

Defense, it’s going to come down to our 3rd down defense. We’re one of the worst at it, going against one of the worst 3rd down offenses in the league. Something’s got to give. If hold them to about a 45% or less 3rd down conversion rate, that’d be a big win for our defense.

Overall, I think we get a “comfortable” win. Our offense is a bad match up for their defense(Crazy to say about a Titans offense and Vikings defense but hey, 2020) and I think our defense will do enough to get the job done. Something like 31-20.

Don't know how to feel about this one.

Didn't want to lose on MNF with the league watching (those that stayed up).
Didn't want to lose to the Jags and Minshew because....its Jags and Minshew.

But Vikings were supposed to be better and I think are better so a loss would be more respectable? lol
The way our run defense is, I expect Cook to run for 300 yards.
The way our pass defense has been, I expect Thielen and Cousins to combine for 400 yards and 4 TDs.

NFL is week to week can’t just assume because the Jags had some success that the Vikings are capable of doing the same.

Have to look at both sides of it.

The Titans offense has been good and the Vikings defense has been terrible so why don’t we assume the Titans offense can’t do what the Packers and Colts have done?

The same Colts team who lost to the Jags who we beat.
