titans0021 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 4 minutes ago, -Hope- said: damn, sure sounds familiar. wish i could get paid millions of dollars to run head first into a brick wall for years. better yet, i wish i could get paid more to hire a new guy to run head first into a brick wall after getting rid of the old guy for, you guessed it, running head first into a brick wall. To your original point, how much can we lay at the feet of Downing? Look at the list of players here. I ask this genuinely, how many players here would see more than 10 snaps for most NFL offenses? Just Tannehill and Henry? Probably Reynolds, I guess? And then you combine it with an offensive line that allowed 31 pressures. Good luck.

Titans fan 617 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Reynolds had me furious today Its the NFL I get you can’t make every catch He bad 2 bad drops today I’m curious to see what Johnson brings to the table when healthy Reynolds won’t be back here next year, that’s if he even makes it through this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans fan 617 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I’m just getting back from NJ so I’m sorry if some of you guys talked about this Was anyone surprised Vrabel didn’t go for 2 when Batson scored? In OT he ran on 4th and 3 with Henry but didn’t want to try it to win the game when we could see the Titans D was struggling with getting Wilson Normally they say go for 2 on the road because you’re trying to steal a win and at home you play for OT because you hope the fans can help you get the ball back because of noise and stuff Just curious why Vrabel was aggressive on the drive before the Batson TD but wasn’t aggressive to try and steal a win that we had no business winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the exact same the exact same thing against Seattle. I’d guess the thinking is that if we’re the better team, we’re better off going to OT than rolling the dice on one play. Though obviously the joke was on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing different about the Seattle game the defense was doing well against Wilson outside of a couple of plays Today I dreaded every time Wilson dropped back because Bowen isn’t smart, skilled or creative enough to do anything to stop it Once Bowen is fired in Tennessee he will never get a DC job again I can’t take the it’s 3rd and 3 let me have the DBs stand 8 yards off stuff His blitz packages are none existing The only 1 thing I do feel for him on, is Vrabel only having Landry Ola and Finch as the only active OLB’s Why we had 2 active FBs today is beyond me Titans could of easily cut one of them and they could have brought back John Simon or anyone else to help for a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AteBoxx Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Defensively that was just and awful game. Leaving guys wide open all game especially on critical downs. Jackrabbit got beat so many times and Cruickshank had that costly penalty where he could game just made the pick. That's pretty bad when you get exposed by a rookie. I can't imagine what better QBs are going to do to this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yea, after taking a step back and breathing it’s hard to really expect this personnel to score anymore than they did today. Still gotta find a way to beat that pathetic team. The opportunities were there. And the defense sure didn’t help to make things easier. We should have been causing havoc against that piss poor o line they have. 1 sack is inexcusable. Where was all the David Long spicey blitzes we used a week ago. I don’t know the numbers but it feels like we didn’t blitz a rookie qb enough times to force him into bad decisions.

The Titans are so frustrating to root for that they will lay an egg this week then sweep Buffalo and KC then lose to Indy then give LA a fight We are just so banged up and Vrabels killing us with his roster management like having 2 FBs active when we are extremely think at OLB and WR We should have won today so I’m not using the injury excuse to why we lost today But if we aren’t healthy for Buffalo or KC the injury thing will be a factor vs them Jayon Brown isn’t a 100% I believe, it was Evans and Long for most of the game and then they would bring in Jayon for certain situations I know a lot of fans questioned the Dupree signing, I don’t mind that we paid him, I’m just more mad that the Titans didn’t do a better job of adding depth behind him and Landry Ola has been a nice surprise, he didn’t do anything much today but when he’s back to being a back up hell be ok But all camp we started Simon in Dupree’s spot across from Landry but they cut him, which I thought was for the roster manipulation of the guaranteed money thing, but yet here we are thin at OLB because Weaver broke his ankle Vrabel has to fix the depth on this roster It’s out of wack right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTitan Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 We miss Arthur Smith's thinking when it comes to redzone. He just had a feel of how to use the guys when they were down there. It was a confidence that couldn't be matched when we were down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art was doing the game planning for red zone before he was the OC I believe. I’m sure that’s a big reason why he was so effective in the red zone. Hopefully downing gets better as the season goes but I don’t have faith in this coaching staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSS Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Before you excuse Todd Downing because of our receivers go look at the Jets starting secondary for the game. The difference is their defensive HC has experience successfully coaching a defense. No excuses. Pathetic coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTitan Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 The talk now is whether we should have gone for 2 to win the game instead of tie it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
