Coach Talk

Cardiac cats
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Not only did we double up Tighten up Titans at QB (42.14 points to 19.64), we also doubled them at WR (83.7 to 37.7).
Tighten up Titans
Your quarterback threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may should have a little debate here. Were the Lions really that great against the pass, or was Aaron Rodgers just that sloppy from the pocket? What do you think, Tighten up Titans, do we continue to start him with confidence?
