OILERMAN Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 The Titans had won 4 straight games going into tonight. They lost to a Steelers team who were 7-2, on the road..... Most people thought a 2-1 stretch vs the Ravens, Bengals and Steelers would be a success. They did that. They still control their own destiny in terms of winning their division. The way this team is built they should be favored to beat the Jags too. They can't run on the Titans defense and Bortles and their WRs can't expose the Titans defense and the game is at home. The Rams on the other hand are going to hang 40+ on this defense! The Titans also did a lot of good things in the first half. They had the ball over 18:00+, converted 4 of 9 3rd downs to the Steelers 1 of 7. They literally gave the Steelers 6 points off of the INTs and the refs gave them another FG. 11 seconds into the 3rd quarter it was 16-14. This was more than a winnable game. Change systems, look for a new QB, Davis is a bust, fire Robeskie, fire Mularkey.......... Just simple minded typical overreaction. This is how NFL seasons work. The Steelers lost to the Jags something like 30-3 in Pittsburg. Mariota just turned 24, Henry, Conklin, Davis, Taylor and Jonnu Smith are all rookies or 2nd year players. Lewan is a top 3 LT in his 3rd year. Defensively Byard, Sims, Jackson, Brown the same. Morgan, Casey and Ryan all in their primes...... The posts and talk after this game is totally retarded. Does this team have flaws? Yes, just like every team in the league and less flaws than 80% of the teams in the league. The arrow is pointing up for this season and beyond. Chill out and stop making fools of yourselves, all losses in the NFL suck but this is about as close to a non bad loss as it gets. It might be time to panic in the future but this damn sure ain't it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyitsmeallen Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 How do they control their own destiny in terms of winning the division when they are already a game behind JAX? The same jax team that whooped Pitts ass. So what, cool we will beat some shit teams on the schedule,. The Titans still got their asses handed to them by the only AFC playoff contender they play the rest of the year besides week 17. This loss sucks ass and you can't Sugar coat it. 100% fail by the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they have the head to head against the Jags, a win against them in the finale would give the Titans a tie breaker if they have the same record.

They won't have the same record because this team that showed up tonight will get their asses beat by the Rams. Jax schedule is just too easy the second half. We are now a wild card contender, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill out and stop making fools of yourselves, all losses in the NFL suck but this is about as close to a non bad loss as it gets. It might be time to panic in the future but this damn sure ain't it I tried to be reasonable in my reaction which lets sum it up. The offense is fine when when it works. Actually it’s deadly. The problem is this offense is centered around a dominant RB which we don’t have. Murray left 80-100 yards on the field literally. He could have gained a few 20+ runs on a few carries but decided to stop cut and run into a lineman or defender instead of running through green pastures. Henry just isn’t the kind of back that can be relied on. He’s not a feature back. Short yardage back sure, but never will he be a 3 down back. He hesitates like Murray and doesn’t have a quick first step into the hole (major knock coming out) but when he does get that first step and gets going he is tough to bring down. It’s just far and few between. Matthews is legit. Walker is legit. Decker is a solid #4 and Davis is nowhere near ready although he shows flashes of brilliance. Taylor is being held back bc of Matthews being a stud, Mularkey choosing a vet over a rookie and Davis being a high prized investment who must start and play due to his unnatural potential. Smith is a decent Recieving option but he is nowhere near ready to replace Fasano as the #2 we will have games like Seattle where we fire on all cylinders and Jacksonville and Cincy we will have games where WRs don’t fight for the ball which leads to a pic (Davis) Mariota doesn’t step into his throw and throwing it high (first pick) and Walker dropping a wide open TD (Like Matthews vs Cincy) if those three plays plays don’t happen then this may be a different game. It could be a W as that would be a 17 point swing in both directions. Mix in the blocked FG and the refs fucking up on the Brown fumble and voila We will be a lot like last year. Same in some areas like pass protection, pass rushing and stuffing the run. Better at defending the pass but the most detriment thing is not being able to run the ball. Murray is looking like EG out there. It’s time to move on. We we just can’t switch to Henry bc he isn’t an upgrade overall. We we will make the postseason and make an investment at RB via draft and add a solid OG in FA and another vet CB in FA. I also expect them to sign a vet WR in FA like Landry. The draft aft needs to be all about defense. I would love to see a true SS next to Byard and a legit pass rusher behind Orakpo/Morgan. We really miss Wallace and Dodd might be better off at DE or just trade him for a late pick or RB or OG idk. Its hard for me to say get rid of Robiskie. It’s obvious this offense can be lethal we are just so young and inexperienced and we are lacking the RB needed to execute this offense. I don’t even think it needs to be a power back type. I think a guy like Ronald Jones would be dynamic or we can stay in that power back style but one with speed and agility and pass catching + protection like Sony Michel, Chubb or Freeman. Ronald Jones may be the best RB after Barkley however... I’m not sure on Guice... he reminds me a lot of Henry anyway. We failed to execute and our inexperience showed and our top pick cost us a huge pic and Walker dropping a TD was crucial Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I think we are seeing why we showed so much interest in Kamars, McCaffrey and Cook... they knew Murray was on his last leg and Henry just isn’t ready or won’t be the guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle021 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 @OILERMAN in your free time take 20 minutes and watch Ronald Jones from USC, Royce Freeman from Oregon, Chubb or Michel from Georgia or Weber from Ohio State. We get get one of them and upgrade Spain/Kline and we are a dominant running team again. Jones reminds me of Kamara with more speed. Freeman looks like a young Murray. Michel may be my favorite. I have him as the 2nd best RB in the draft. If if you want to watch a mean, nasty SS look at Ronnie Harrison from Bama or if you want to see a Byard clone Deshon Elliot from Texas. Another guy you may not know about is the edge Dorance Armstrong... he is legit. If if you want to see a game changing ILB look no further than Roquan Smith from Georgia or Mikah Kizer. Another kid to watch is Jerome Baker from Ohio State... he could be special but we have a guy like him in Brown... Malik Jefferson could be a special EDGE guy from Texas or a 3 down ILB. He’s just not a fit at Texas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 We knew this was gonna be a tough game, coming off a hard-fought Sunday matchup with the Bengals where they played over 90 snaps. This was the hardest game on the schedule in my opinion and the best team they face all year. Good chance the Steelers are contending for another shot at the SB.

After the game, bandwidth fails at TR. Obscenities and accusations rain down on the coaches, then one by one the players are lined up before the firing squad peppered by bullets of 'just ain't that good' One fan quits being a Titans fan, until next week. One poster wants to know why JRob drafted Dodd. HOPE HOPE NO MAJOR INJURIES Nailed it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnasty Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 We seriously think this steelers team that got blown out by the jags, and barely beat the colts is at an elite level? No, the Titans are just that undisciplined and that unpoorly coached. Mariota is regressing and who is to blame? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
