615finest Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 It’s sad that we were driving to tie the game and Gabbert throws that heart breaker.. it was all downhill after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is one logical reason. The injury. If for some reason the injury has a long term effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, after the first two drives, defense was fine. Colts had great field position a few times (including twice deep in our territory) and we had a defensive touchdown. Just had no chance with Gabbert missing every throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanLegend Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 One pretty bright spot is it seems we have a starting caliber RB in Henry now. I was worried originally thinking it might just be fools gold, but 4 straight games of running hard, keeping the legs moving, seeking out contact instead of avoiding it finally has him looking like the RB we all hoped he could be. Defense needs some pass rushing help but can be really good once it gets it. Add some help to the IOL, a WR to pair with Davis and we should have a pretty good team next year if Mariota can shake the injury bug..but that's the biggest if in the world.

KingTitan Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Conklin, Ryan, Jonnu Smith, Casey, Walker on IR. Mariota out. This was just an injury plagued year. We put up a fight, but Luck again was the difference. The Colts O-line was also boss. Gabbert's late INT was a killer. Looked like we might at least got to a FG. Our defense was the reason we were in the game, but also was a reason we were out of it. Jackson beat looking. Can't stop the run game. Can't get to Luck.

titans0021 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 When you have a QB with Marcus’ injury history, you need to have a backup QB better than Blaine Gabbert. Or Matt Cassel. If we settle for that again, it will bite us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many actual backups(not people who are signing to fight for starting jobs ala Bridgewater with the Jets) were available better than Gabbert? Actually asking, cause I don't really remember, but at the same time, I remember thinking when we signed it that I wasn't fond of it but didn't exactly see where we could have done much better.

We couldn't stop the run at all...how are you going to trot out 3 "run stoppers" on the line and give up 158 rushing yards to the freaking Colts? Also didn't even breathe on Luck until it was basically too late. Like I said, the offense was worse, but the defense didn't play very well. The TD was a gift.

You can’t tell me that kap as a backup isn’t better than Gabbert yea his last season of football he was benched, but look at how Baltimore is winning wit Lamar Jackson 🤷🏽♂️ Kap can do the same damn thing he had 1 bad season..

If staying with Marcus, you have to put a premium on a back up. They need to get a guy that is maybe the best QB possible, but also ends up being default competition. Don't know who that is...well actually I do, but will they do it? (Kap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTitan Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Tough to win in the NFL. Regardless of QB. Steelers, Titans, Viking, Falcons and Panthers all without a doubt have a better QB situation yet finished worst than us or comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
