Previous Seasons
Jeff Fischer and the Tennessee Titans were looking to get into the Super Bowl for the first time. After compiling a 13-3 record, the Titans fell to the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round of the 2009 NFL Playoffs. The team has remained mostly intact and looks to get back to the playoffs.
The Hall of Fame Game, which will be played on August 9, 2010, will feature the two remaining members of the “Foolish Club”, the eight original owners who formed the original AFL. Both Bud Adams (who founded the Houston Oilers) and Ralph C. Wilson (who founded the Buffalo Bills) will celebrate what would have been the 51st Anniversary of the now defunct AFL.
The team recently signed QB Chris Simms to help compete with Mike Vick and should be focusing on a few positions to fill out. With Kyle Vanden Bosch and Jevon Kearse, the team is in desperate need of a stout defensive end. The team went through 5 kick/punt returners last season and should address this issue as well.
Alge Crumpler left the team for free agency and Craig Stevens is no blocking tight and both Bo Scaife and Jared Cook are receiving tight ends. The team needs to look for someone to help the running game.
Finally, the team did manage to pick up Will Witherspoon who will help at the OL position but they still have a depth problem as their backups Keglar and Allred are more special teams players the backups.
The 2009 Titans will be celebrating the 50th season as one of the Original Eight AFL teams look to get back into the playoffs and get further than the Divisional Round. Head Coach Jeff Fisher is in his 15th year in that position and looks to take his team to the next level. In March 2009, the Franchise picked up QB Rex Grossman to serve as the backup QB beating out Dan Orlovsky (who Grossman backed up in Chicago).
Look for the Tennessee Titans to produce a winning record and for Coach Fischer to push his team into the playoffs.
The 2008 Tennessee Titans were looking to improve on their successful 2007 10-6 campaign and did so in grand fashion, putting together a 13-3 record that included a 10-game winning streak. The team won the AFC South and home field advantage. The Titans were eliminated by the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Playoffs.
Tennessee Titans tickets have always delivered the goods under head coach Jeff Fisher, and though the team has undergone radical changes over the last few years, 2005 Tennessee Titans tickets are still one of the best deals in the NFL. Football fans looking for top-flight NFL excitement need look no further than The Coliseum in Nashville and Tennessee Titans tickets.
The Titans were essentially reborn into the NFL when the Houston Oilers packed up and moved to Nashville in 1997. Seeking a new beginning, the team was renamed the Titans, beginning a new chapter in their history. While the Oilers had a rich history, the Titans have created some great moments for NFL fans since their move to Nashville.
In the waning moments of the 2000 AFC Wildcard game, the Titans’ Kevin Dyson returned a lateral on a kickoff 74 yards for a touchdown with just 16 seconds on the clock to give the Titans a 22-16 win over the Buffalo Bills. The play has become known as the “Music City Miracle”. The play propelled the Titans into the next round of the playoffs, where they defeated the Indianapolis Colts. Dyson almost makes history again when his last gasp attempt to reach the end zone in Super Bowl XXXIV fell just a yard shy in the Titans 23-16 loss to the St. Louis Rams.
In addition, the Titans have boasted some of the NFL’s most exciting players in their short history in Nashville. Quarterback Steve McNair has established himself as a standout quarterback, often playing with injuries that would sideline other players. McNair shared the NFL’s MVP Award with Peyton Manning in 2004 and between 1997 and 2004 threw 131 touchdown passes, while racking up over 20,000 yards through the air. Running back Eddie George was a team mainstay during the same period, topping the 1,000 yard mark in six seasons and gaining 1,509 in 2000. Under head coach Jeff Fisher the Titans posted a 98-77 mark between 1997 and 2004, while making four playoff appearances, including two AFC Championship games and a Super Bowl berth.
Steve McNair alone makes Tennessee Titans tickets valuable, but the Titans now have something else a little special on the menu. Over the course of three games in 2004, wide receiver Drew Bennett snagged 28 passes for eight touchdowns and over 500 yards before being hit by nagging injuries. With a healthy Bennett, McNair and the Titans offense may do some serious damage to opposing defenses in 2005. The chance to see the duo hook up again in the new season only adds more possibility to the mystique of Tennessee Titans tickets.
The Titans are back this season with a strong defense and their usual grit. They face a tough schedule though- road games at Jacksonville and at New Orleans straddling a home opener against Indianapolis. Critics are expecting 6-7 wins from Tennessee this season – but they might surprise everyone, given the fat that they have Vince Young – a threat to score, with lots of passion in his plays. LenDale White will start as RB, and will be given every shot to succeed possible. The Titans OL line was a surprise last year and has been kept intact for another go-round this season. One huge downside for Tennessee to deal with is the loss of Pacman Jones, but Titans ticket-buyers can expect the usual greatness from Vince Young - and big plays from smart buy Nick Harper.
