The Denver Broncos will be our toughest challenge this season. To have any chance, it will take our best game and certainly a lot better performance than the last time we played them.
When you allow your opponent to rush for 160-170 yards and you tackle as poorly as we did ... it makes it tough to win,'' said Fisher, whose Titans dropped to 3-2, 1 1/2 games behind 4-0 Indianapolis, which plays at Tampa Bay on Monday night.
Game management, game decisions, adjustments, seeing things during games - it's all important.
I grew up watching my dad scout games live. They played on Saturday. Sometimes they wouldn't get the films until Monday. Sunday air shipping from wherever the college team was located - Starkville, Mississippi, or wherever the film was coming from. It took two days.
We've got a short week this week with New Orleans, ... It's a team we play in the regular season, so we'll try to put more attention in this game than a normal preseason game because it will come up in the regular season.
We've won a few games here the last five, six weeks and hopefully we can continue to play better.
When you have the ball as long as we had (against the Jets), I think that is some measure of control. But we'd like to have more rushing yards for the number of attempts. There's no question about that. There were some positive things in the game about our running game. There are certainly a lot of things that we can work on. We'd like to be more consistent and gain a few more yards. But it is always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal-line situations, or like that third quarter when you're going into the wind, you want to try to control the clock a little bit.
We'll have to play our best game on Sunday.
It hasn't even been competitive. That's the first thing we're going to have to do is just find a way to stay competitive because these (first two games) have been over by halftime. We saw that last year too (on Halloween). It was 21-3 (Steelers) at the end of the first quarter.
We need to play better. What else is there (to say)? We aren't going to win many games playing like this.
When people say they're slowing down, I don't know what games they're watching. I'd like to be able to go out and average 35 points a game.
Obviously it was a game where they made more plays than we did. I congratulate Mike and the Denver Broncos. They are a good football team. They earned the right to play here (Saturday) and they played well.
