Titans offense has become a juggernaut

Recommended Posts

446 yards off offense(350 in the first half)

6 TDs

50% 3rd down conversion rate

7.6 yards per play today

20 of 27 passing 305 yards and 5 TDs

162 yards rushing

Scored on 8 of 13 drives

This isn't a one game anomaly, the offense has been great for a while now and Mariota has stepped it up into elite territory.

I was really impressed with a few throw aways and on 3rd down in the redzone he ran, slid, stayed in bounds to keep the clock running and settled for the FG. Earlier in the season he was forcing plays like this. He's started to manage the game very intelligently and getting better. 

Mariota and Robiskie have this thing down.

There was a clear turn around after week 4.  Since then they've gone 4-2 (should have been 5-1) and Mariota's passer rating went from middle of the pack to elite.  

They keep playing this way and it won't matter that the defense has started to drop off.  They will win games.  Not many teams can keep up with you when your QB is hanging 26+ consistently.

The play action, downfield passing has just been awesome lately, tons of credit to the staff & the QB.

Yes, this is nitpicking but running game wasn't too good after the 75 yarder. Hopefully, Lewan was the reason. 

Fucking Lewan is the low lite, I'm tired of his penalties. Luckily Kelly stepped up and played well.

Magnificent Mariota shines as Titans pound Packers

The Tennessee Titans exotic smashmouthed Green Bay early, pummeling the slumping Packers 47-25 in Nashville. Here is what you need to know:

1. Marcus Mariota tossed four touchdowns for the sixth time in 22 career games, picking apart the Packers' secondary with precision passes, dynamic downfield throws and brilliant reads. Late in the first half, the Titans' quarterback boasted a perfect passer rating, which only began to explain how well he performed early. Mariota's combination of pinpoint accuracy and athletic creativity allows him to surgically dismantle defenses. When Mariota plays like he did Sunday (19-of-26, 295 yards, 4 TDs) the Titans are a playoff-caliber offense.

<Snip>

6. Perhaps the craziest reality of this season: A previously magoo Mike Mularkey is guiding a fun, gutsy team. Mularkey called for an onside kick to open the game (failed). His halfback threw a touchdown pass. Tennessee's offense is one of the most diverse and entertaining when Mariota is in a groove. Believe it, world, THE TITANS ARE FUN.

 

 

 

Magoo?
