How to unlock the 550 Pass Yds with the Titans achievement in Madden NFL 09 - Definitive Guide
Set the game difficulty and quarter length to settings that you are comfortable and confident with (I chose Pro and 15-minutes to be sure and had plenty of time to spare) and set up a Play Now game with the Tennessee Titans.
Use nothing but passing plays, and you should be able to unlock the Achievement fairly easily. You must complete the entire game before the Achievement unlocks - it will not be earned once your total passing yards exceeds 550. As reported in the comments (thanks, YoshiMiyamoto), playing out the game to completion or quitting the game will allow the Achievement to unlock. However, super simming the game will cause the Achievement to NOT unlock. Whichever method you use, the Achievement will unlock upon leaving the match, but will not pop mid-game.
I suggest playing this game against a Rival team (Houston, Jacksonville, or Indianapolis) because you have a good chance of earning the 40- or 60-point versus a Rival Achievements at the same time.

Contrary to the solution, you DO NOT have to complete the game for the achievement to unlock. If you quit out of the game, the achievement will unlock at the loading screen. If, however, you supersim to the end of the game, the achievement will not unlock.

This can be done relatively easy with 5 minute quarters. Here's a few tips...
Most important, don't make the mistake I did - DO NOT use Supersim once you made the 550. The achievement won't pop in that case,
1. Use the offsides trick (turn it off, hunt in the backfield for the QB).
2. When they punt, run it back to about the 10. As in backwards - negative yards.
3. Throw a lot of strikes down field - I found Gage (WR) to be quite good for this.
I had almost 600 yards by the end of the 3rd, using 5:00 quarters. Achievement pops after the end of the game.
As the other solution from Vermin says, you can pop some other achievements, actually lots of them if you play your cards right... I did a few here...

Please see Atlanta Falcons achievement for additional help. Scoring touchdowns is optional for this achievement as all you need is to rack up the yards not the points.
