I've begun a new game, and in 2007 the Tennesse Titans scored the grand total of 74 points all season! This with the default rosters (albeit edited so the Texans started with no-one on their books)
After opening with two duck eggs, they got their one and only win in week 3, triumphing 9-3 against the Raven.
However the week 4 bye obviously came at a bad time and stunted their momentum temporarily, as they could only must 3 and 6 points in the next two games.
But the corner was apparently turned, and a fantastic three consecutive offensive powerhouse weeks were seen, as the Titans made double figures three times in a row, getting 13,10 and 10 - all defeats. These were the only occasions in which they scored 10+ all year.
It proved to be a false dawn however, but wow - what a false dawn! After a disappointing 6 point outing in week 10, the Titans managed a feat even Trent Dilfer would have been proud of, giving the Tennessee scorers four consecutive weeks off: that's right, four zero point games in a row.
Disappointingly, they managed 7,7 and 3 in their final three games to end their magnificent record with an above average end, finishing with an inflated 4.6 points per game!
Other lowlights
195.6 YPG (52 YPG less than #31)
43.4% passes completed (6% less than #31)
3.7 yards per completion (1.7 yards less than #31)
36.2 QB rating (22 points less than #31)
82.8 Opp pass D % (3% higher than #31)
2 red zone TDs all year! (13 less than #31)
2.9 pts per red zone visit (1.2 less than #31)
24% 3rd down conversion
182 1st downs (54 less than #31)
5 TDs all year! (20 less than #31)
121 punts (18 more than #2)
Looking at the player stats, this can partly be attributed to the 13/53 Vince Young being #2 QB behind the undrafted 21/44 Seth Schneider, who has started 24 games in his 2 years, while VY has completed 6/33 in his two year career... Schneider is 0/7 on short passes, 2/14 medium, 4/7 deep, 13/58 accuracy after 24 starts...
But even so, this is a spectacularly bad offensive output!
