Not many people would have thought the Titans would start the season this badly. This could mean the Titans' season is already over before it really started.

The Titans play in the AFC South, the same division as the Indianapolis Colts - this doesn't bode well for the Titans. Once you dig yourself a hole in the NFL in the beginning, you spend the rest of the season trying to climb out of it.

It's not that the Titans are a bad team. In 08' the Titans went 13-3, winning the AFC South and overthrowing the Colts. This year QB Kerry Collins is completing less then 59% of his pass attempts - granted the Titans have an average receiving core.

The running game of the Titans is more dangerous, as Chris Johnson and LenDale White are a formidable running duo.

The Titans' defense has been good at stopping the run but not much else. The Titans are among the worst in the NFL in points per game allowed and passing yards per game allowed.

They don't seem to be doing anything different then last year - which might be the problem this year.

With the loss of DT Albert Haynesworth, the Titans defense may not be as strong as it once was but they still have defensive skill players such as Cortland Finnegan, Chris Hope, Keith Bulluck, and Nick Harper.

It is hard to believe that a team coached by Jeff Fisher will continue to play this way for an entire NFL season.

Since the Titans play in the same division as the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans, hopefully they can get some "easy" wins against them and other below average teams to finish the season with a respectable record.

This can either be a very long season for the Tennessee Titans - or it can be one where they find out what they are made of bouncing back from a bad start.
