What difficulty/quarter length do you use? Using All-Pro w/ 7 Minute quarters for this. I think I have clock runoff set to 20 seconds as well.

MEDIA QUESTION
Q: Many folks, including yourself, thought this team would perform better last season, but things dod not come together. How do you avoid that again this season?
A: From start to finish, the coaching has to be consistent. Leadership starts at the top, and that means the staff has to stay on point.
RESULT:
Staff Rating: Per Win: +7% Per Loss: -5%

POST GAME REPORT
The team had an excellent first half, but couldn’t stay consistent through the entire game. The second half was one bad play after another, on offense and defense. Mike Evans beat whoever was put against him and that resulted in a big game for the second year wideout. The team is still lacking in pass rush, notching only one sack in the entire game. James Winston beat Marcus Mariota this game, which is exactly what the Buccaneers were hoping for. Marietta only threw for 174 yards in his debut, and while he couldn’t move the offense in the second half, his first half showed flashes of brilliance. Perhaps the most surprising fact of the day was that Bishop Sankey was the only back to garner any rushing attempts. In an overall poor game for him, his staring position might not even be his soon if he keeps up the poor play.

Green Bay Packers LOLB Julius Peppers is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

KEY GAME STORYLINES
-Tennessee’s second game of the 2015 season is at the Cleveland Browns, the team Tennessee traded Zach Mettenberger to. And Zach Mettenberger will get a chance to show why the Titans should have stuck with him rather than draft QB Marcus Mariota. Mettenberger had two major weapons in Josh Gordon and Dwayne Bowe, with one of the league’s best offensive lines protecting him.
-Marcus Mariota struggled in Week 1, as did the rest of the Titans, The entire team hopes to pull things together in Week 2 against the Browns. With a dominant defense, Mariota could be in for another slow outing.
-Cleveland will be missing RE John Hughes and HB Isaiah Crowell for this game. How much will this effect their outing?

POST GAME REPORT
Despite the stats, Marcus Mariota’s day was not all that bad. He consistently put the ball in the right place, but the receiver either dropped it or it was knocked out of their hands by the Cleveland D. Neither running back had that great of a day, but that can be chalked up to Cleveland’s excellent D. The Colts’ D isn’t really anything special, so that will be a good game to turn things around on. The defense had a great outing, holding the Browns to 2 touchdowns, but the offense didn’t help them much. Marqueston Huff had an amazing diving pick that led to 3 points on the board. However, with 2 minutes left on the clock, and the team down 4 points, the defense stepped up big time and forced Cleveland into a 3 and out. Both of Mariota’s interceptions came with under two minutes left, as he threw a pick that led to a Josh Gordon touchdown, then threw a pick in the end zone on the last play of the game. Its a disappointing loss, and the second blown lead in as many games. The team needs to learn to finish games, and the secondary is still overall a concern, as is the running game.

REGULAR SEASON WEEK 3
TRADE BLOCK
RG Jeff Allen (Kansas City Chiefs) No Trade Offered
NEWS
Ravens re-sign Marshal Yanda to 4 year, $25.6M extension. Antonio Gates moves ahead of Don Hutson on all time TD reception list. Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler is the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Dallas Cowboys ROLB Sean Lee is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. San Diego Chargers QB Phillip Rivers is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Miami Dolphins CB Brent Grimes is the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
KEY GAME STORYLINES
-At 0-2, the Titans can’t afford to lose this divisional matchup in their home opener against the Colts. Every other team in the division is sitting at 1-1, so a win could potentially tie every team in the division.
-The secondary and the running game have been problems for the Titans. While the secondary will be majorly tested against the Colts high powered offense, led by Andrew Luck, the running game should improve this week against the Colts defense. As should Marcus Mariota, who’s only real test in the Colts secondary is Vontae Davis.
-The Colts offensive line constantly exposes Andrew Luck to pressure. This works highly into the Titans favor, who saw an increase in pass rush between Week 1 and Week 2, notching 3 sacks against the Browns offensive line, one of the best in the game. The Colts line is much worse, so expect to see much more in the pass rush.

POST GAME REPORT
Marcus Mariota had a great day, his one pick being a rookie mistake. He looked poised and connected on his passes. The receivers caught them and ran with them, leading to three touchdown passes for Marcus Mariota. Unexpectedly, the running game still suffered, as Bishop Sankey was benched after the first half in favor of Antonio Andrews, who didn’t do much better. In his relief at times, David Cobb came in and ran like he wanted it, getting 18 yards on 2 carries. The secondary stepped up, also unexpected, holding the Colts to 14 points. Marqueston Huff had another big pick that led to 7 points. The pass rush was also there, as the team notched another 3 sacks against the Colts’ line. Rather surprisingly, the Titans did not have to punt the ball away once. This was an overall game played well from beginning to end. However, the running backs are going to get some looks, and things may be different on the depth chart by next week.
