Colts win 22-20!
Vince Young costs his team the game with a costly personal foul in the second half, and a fumble as time expired in the fourth. Not quite the beatdown I thought it would be, but a solid win nonetheless.
Full recap later today. GO COLTS!

Ridiculous
If you are saying that the Titans should have won then I will agree with you.

That's BS
Impressed with VY's game today. He still has a way to go to become a complete player, but he's a damn good leader. But, was it just me, or were the Titans kind of dirty? Maybe I'm just being a homer. Let's put the kibosh on VY costing his team the game, though. Be realistic.

He suprized me
The penalty was stupid of him and the lateral was desperation, but what I noticed before the lateral is that he wasn't looking down field at all once he started moving. He bought enough time for someone to find a hole in the zone but he wasn't looking for his receivers.

I'll say it before a sad, sad Titans fan does
I'm curious to hear how the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty isn't a really dumb thing for him to have done.
I'm pissed about the missed Illegal contact call on the Manning INT. It looked like a sure penalty to me and the CBS commentators. Anyone have an explanation besides the refs blew it?

Contact
It very easily could/should have been called, it just wasnt.

Pathetic
If Brandon Jones catches that VY pass, the Titans get a shot at a game-winning field goal.
Vince Young played imperfectly, but damn well. It's really sad that the lead to this post is about how Vince somehow cost his team the game.
I said earlier in the week, and I'll say it again - nothing changes over here. And never will.
Just a note to any Titans fans who wander in here and wonder what's going on.

Vince Young
Young also committed a DUMB personal foul penalty in the second half, which cost his team points.
If people disagree with me all this, fine. This game should have been over in the third quarter. But a bad pick my Manning in his own territory made this a game.
Again, if Vince is as good as everyone says he is, he wins this game. It's their home opener. He's supposed to be a "winner" right? Well, winners make plays in the fourth quarter when it counts.
Vince didn't. I'll have a full recap later.

wow
Exactly what did you want VY to do on 4th down when he was basically in the hands of every Colt defender out there???
VY played well, and was damn close to winning this game. He is only a 2nd year player, and he is playing on the Titans.... He isn't the great winner that the media portrays him to be, but he definately wasn't the reason the Titans lost this game.

It shouldn't...
Our offense's lack of execution in the red zone and Vinatieri having an off day could have cost us this game.
Still.. I will the Titans props..they played well enough to steal it from us.

Vince Young stinks
by MasterRWayne on Sep 16, 2007 5:27 PM EDT 0 recs
He doesn't stink
Good, solid win, but we let Titans hang around when they didn't deserve to be in it. VY made some good plays, made some mistakes. But without him the Titans are a bad, bad offensive team. I don't like the guy either. He talked crap the whole game,but he's a good player. Not a good passer, but a good player.

On a better note...Bob Sanders...
by BSanders37 on Sep 16, 2007 5:43 PM EDT 0 recs
without freddie or rob
we made some stupid calls at the end.. why were we throwing when we could have run the ball and run the clock... and maybe kicked a fg so the titans would have needed a td with little time left... dumb dumb dumb..
young still wasn't throwing that well.. his completion percentage was better, but there were a lot of short dumps ...he still can't beat you with his arm
and yes that personal foul penalty was dumb... even dierdorf said the refs will throw that every time when you throw the ball at another player.. Vince was mad because he was running and he got hit. when you become a runner you are fair game.. get used to it.

Bob Sanders...
Even he got juked out by Vince Young once--Young is a hell of a player. He is a slick runner, but I don't think it's a good way to stay healthy. That time he wouldn't go down with 9 Colts on him, I though Brocks shoe went through his facemask. He's going to have to learn to take a career saving slide. He refuses to give up, which is a good personality for a defensive player, but not a quarterback.
I thought the Titans would be tough against the Colts offense--because they always are. The Colts defense did great considering two starting linebackers were out. The game came out the way it was supposed to.
Houston's going to be tough too. And they are kind of an unknown quantity now.

staying healthy
Houston will be interesting, but their defense worries me more than their offense. I don't think schaub is that much better than carr, at least not yet, and he has yet to play a divisional rival, and KC really doesn't look very good yet, so he really is untested yet.

What?!!
Vince Young 17/27 184 and 1 TD
Matt Leinart 23/37 300 yards 1 TD 1 INT
In this case I would say that statistically they are the same, but Vince Young threw a lot of curl routes and quick dump offs when his excellent O-line picked up our rather poor defense. Bottom line is I would take Leinart over Vince Young any day.

I gotta speak up ...
That said, there was only 1 (what I would call) legitimate offensive TD the Titans scored against us all game. If the holding penalty on Wayne had been called, that TD would have been negated.
Kudos to Stinky for his solid passing game against us. Our secondary looked flat today.

Playing poorly/costing the titans the game
VY is a definite sub par passer, but I wouldn't say he is a sub par player. He definately isn't in my top 10, hell even 20 qbs to start a franchise with.... But thats because I'm more atune to the drop back passer style, I definately favor that. But I also understand where VY supporters get their idea that he has "upside" or a "winning attitude".
by Burt Doyle on Sep 16, 2007 8:26 PM EDT 0 recs
Ok
Oh and as for a "winning attitude" let me just say that its the NFL. Everyone is supposed to have a "winning attitude" if their football careers extend to the pro level.

Ben Utecht
The first time was on his reception in the first half when the ball got stripped away. Two Titans tried to jump on the ball, while a third one jumped on Ben, ripped his helmet off and threw it five yards. What was that all about???
The second time was that REEEAALLLYY nasty facemask penalty, which, thankfully, the Titans got called for. I winced when I saw the replay, because they could have broken his neck. His helmet was on BACKWARDS at the end of the play!!!
Playing dirty? Ya think?

Utecht
Oh and its good to see the Texans fans already over here. I can't wait to read this week how Matt Schaub is actually better than Peyton Manning.
by MasterRWayne on Sep 17, 2007 10:18 AM EDT 0 recs
Seriously ...
One week it's Brady, then Romo, then Vince Young, and now Schaub I'm sure will get thrust into that role.
Take it as a compliment, our QB is the measuring stick by which ALL other QBs in the league are measured.
