    The less shots (passes) from Vince the better our chances at winning. I didnt get to see last sunday's game, but I saw the score at work, then noticed how many times he passed. It made perfect sense.
    I do agree with putting him in shotgun more often though.

    Instead of just looking at the score and the stat sheet, I suggest checking the play-by-play as well.

    Once the Titans went down 21-3, the offense operated almost exclusively from the shotgun, with Vince throwing on almost every down; he quickly led the Titans on two quick scoring drives, and closed the gap to 21-13. IIRC, Vince threw for 60% completions and 170 yards in the game's final 20 minutes.

    We also saw several glimpses of the old playmaking VY, including two beautiful red-zone passes to Roydell Williams in the last two minutes, and an electrifying play where Vince stepped up and out of the pocket to avoid pressure, then threw a deep ball to Scaife in the end zone. (Unfortunately, it was knocked away....but it sure was a fun play to watch. :D )

    Granted, he made some mistakes, too....but for the first time this year, there was that sense of the old VY magic. That sense of "Hey, wait a second...maybe this thing ain't over after all."

    Last week was his first step toward breaking out of his slump; hopefully MNF is when he explodes back into the national consciousness.

    That's good to hear. Sheds a little light on it, but I stand by it. The less he passes (regardless of the reasons) the better we are.

    this season has been so confusing to me as far as VY is concerned. During camp all we were hearing is how great he's been doing in camp and how much he's developed, and he had a pretty good pre-season with the exception of the new england game. I can't figure out why he's not getting it done on the field. is it really all coaching?

    If Vince does not throw for more then 150+ or score 2 touchdowns passing I will disown him as my favorite teams starting QB
