    The real shock isn't that the Titans are #8. It's that the Rams are scoring on almost 60% of their drives.

    I hope Mariota doesn't play this weekend. Get him fully healthy and ready to go against the Colts, which will likely be a Luck v. Mariota Monday Night showdown.

    In the meantime, not having Mariota against the Fins will put the pressure on our defense to hold the line. They were embarrassed against Houston, but they've got a lot of pride to uphold and there's some talent there. I don't see Miami getting their act together enough to score much.

    Pound the ball with some Murray/Henry variety. They'll make a dent.

    I predict we hold them to three field goals and Jackson finally gets his punt return for a touchdown that actually counts. Titans win 13-9 in an ugly game. But we walk away with a healthy Mariota and get ready for a the big lights next Monday.

    Doubt that holds up, as new teams keep going they get figured out.

    Same with QBs

    Am I missing something about the Dolphins Defense? Or offense for that matter?

    They've scored 25 pts in 3 games (including getting shut out by that vaunted NOR D), give up 350 yards a game and only avg. about 230 yards a game offensively.

    Dolphins are not good.

    I can't see the score staying all that low based on the Defenses playing. Earlier in this thread I called 20-17 with Cassel. Still think that's appropriate.
    I can't see the Titans only getting 13 or 10 points. I could see the Dolphins only scoring a couple FG though.

    I'm big time dolphin fan I seen all their games this season.

    Dolphins offense is awful...but the Titans defense might help them turn things around.

    Titans defense sucks but the awful dolphins Offense might help us get back on track.

    If I had to put money on it I think our defense will lose us this game again I don't see us scoring alot of points since the dolphins Dline is very underrated.

    Crazy. Neither are the Titans. Should be a fun one. Cassel vs Cutler. Battle of the incumbents.
