KingTitan Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 We wasted maybe our first respectable half of defensive football tonight. Oh it just ticks me off. I mean there was nothing wrong with our punt game last week. We can't have this kicker anymore. I mean he isn't one of the main pillars of Robinson's foundation. (Dependable). How can you be just a bum inside of 50 yards so many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have that mentality. I worry we never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we didn't even do that right this year. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTitan Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 2020 is changing me. This season is changing me. This team doesn't deserve this much mental energy from me. ..lol That first drive was so beautiful. It was so fun to watch this team play. Then they just find a way to screw it. Freak it. lol Freak poop butt freak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hope- Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 i mean, it's not exactly rocket science. with even average defense and average special teams play there's a decent chance we're 9-0 and at the absolute least 7-2, with several more dominating wins and fewer embarrassing losses. our issue is we seem pathologically unable to build year after year. fix the offense, defense goes to hell. fix the defense, offense clams up. and on and on and on.

Titans fan 617 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I’m torn on this question Can Tannehill be the guy or is Arthur Smith holding him back? He comes out throwing fine then he’s none existent the rest of the game AJ Browns drop was huge but after that Tannehill couldn’t move this team So are the coaches not trusting to put it in Tannehills hands or what’s the deal? I know they want to run the ball but there are just times you have to throw to set up the run and the Titans refuse to do that I believe in Tannehill but I’m just torn on what the issue is He missed big play throws a few times this year and it’s starting to worry me a bit Again I believe in him but I’m worried because here we are again in a big game and the coaches are refusing to let him throw the ball I know Henry’s running success dictated a lot of the low passing numbers from Tannehill in the playoffs but now it’s the regular season and here we are again Another big game and we barley target AJ Brown and refuse to keep feeding Davis Big moments in the game and Tannehill is choosing to throw short of the sticks to Firkser but doesn’t attempt to hit 3 of his best play makers I just don’t know what the main problem is and how it’s fixed As far as the coaching goes if Bowen is the real DC he should be relieved of those duties and this is something I say regularly Vrabel needs to stop worrying about his friendships and do what’s best if that means relieving Bowen of play calling duties or relieving himself Lastly the last friend Vrabel needs to let go is Gostkowski Joseph was fine last season and Vrabel had to get the itch to sign his buddy Allen was fine last week and yet whiffs this week and goes with Daniels When Friday afternoon hits Gostkowski shouldn’t be on this team anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the passing offense hasn't matured from last year. It seems very basic and needs to be schemed open and we don't seem to have the players to win consistently one on one. Missing Humphries Lewan and reliable kicker. Tanny isn't the problem but he does have some short comings. Hard to be mad at him. If Aj catches that ball we looking at a whole different game.

We have a WR that everyone in the league feels is a boss. But we go whole quarters without even looking his way. But throw it to Batson. When it's perfect. The offense can be beautiful. But when things aren't right it falls apart too quickly. This offense has no room for mistakes. If we don't convert, drop passes etc it gets ugly.

titans0021 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The first drive of the game we put the ball in Tannehill’s hands, and he walked us down the field for an easy touchdown. On our second drive of the game, we lost four yards on another stupid pitch. Tannehill set up a manageable third down, Sambrailo had a false start, then Tannehill threw a dime that should’ve been a touchdown to AJ. We then took the ball out of his hands and, even when we did throw, it was almost exclusively long-developing PA plays. Tannehill was in a rhythm early and Art called a terrible game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at really a seasons+ worth of games now with the Tanny-led offense, I think we largely flinch in the face of good defenses. hard to explain and maybe even validate. But, offensively, I don’t feel we are ever “up to the challenge” of what challenge a very good defense presents. We really struggled early against Pitt, we got shut out for 30m against Indy. Couldn’t pass the ball against NE last year. (Granted we had success against Baltimore and buffalo this year, but D did put offense in several short fields. Not taking anything away from the O those games, tho. Especially Derrick) im not pointing the finger at Ryan here. But his numbers aren’t there against the “good” defenses this offense can bear up inferior opponents. But against a formidable defense? I’ll take the opposing defense 9 times out of 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
