Strung Out
OK, obviously, the Titans are offensively challenged.
Do they even have any wide receivers?
Collins showed why he was playing second fiddle to a 25 year old head case. Accuracy is no longer his forte and he reminds me just how far Jason Campbell has come with his throwing motion; Jason used to look as terrible as Collins does now, this giant, long, wind up and then throw a 90 mph fastball to a guy who is about 20 feet away from you, running and trying to figure out of it's gonna be behind him, at his knees or just high enough so that someone can really get a good look at his ribs before burying their helmet in there.
Plus, they can't run it when they have to. Their guys finish with 20 carries for 120 yards, but that's 19 for 65 and 1 for 55.
This is NOT a Superbowl team. Playoffs, sure. Superbowl, no.
What I am trying to figure out is if the Packers are just that much better than I'd thought or more how overrated I had the Titans. Rogers alternates between looking great and looking as dumb as Brett ever did. They can't run it when they have to, although they did better than the vaunted Titans. And, is their secondary simply that good or does Tennessee truly have no wide outs?
And Haynesworth can be removed from defensive player of the year consideration.
Enjoyed the game. Not seeing a championship team here with either, but good game.
