I think I'd be much more optimistic if we were losing every game and getting a high draft pick. We're going to end up being 8-8 unless Mariota gets injured soon. I really think they're not going to put in Tannehill at all unless he gets hurt. Where do you see 8-8 coming from? As it stands now they are 2-3 and have 4 more division games where they are the clear underdog. Look at the remaining 11 games, especially the last 7. I'm thinking 5 or 6 wins at this point. @Broncos Chargers Bucs @Panthers Chiefs Jags @Colts @Raiders Texans Saints @Texans Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like their chances against the Broncos or Chargers. I could see them beating the Bucs but it's far from a given. They don't matchup all that well with the Panthers and the Chiefs are a nightmare for any team. The Jags used to be a team that the Titans would be a solid favorite against but their 6th round rookie is better than Mariota. Colts already beat them at home. Raiders have been better. Texans have been better. Saints will be clear favorites when Brees returns. It's not looking good.

This is one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. Should be able to get 5 wins just running the fucking wildcat offense. We have a 45M dollar OL this year - two all pro tackles, a pro bowl guard, a top 3 center per PFF (Wilcots of PFF says Jones is one of the top centers in the NFL, and I know he’s at least top 7). And our garbage QB makes the line look like trash and somehow the most talented WR core we’ve had since moving to Nashville isn’t looking so good either. Unfortunately his rotten pineapple stench is getting on our playoff roster and making the whole team stink like garbage.

I'm not sure which scenario is worse. A. Vrable sticking with Mariota because he believes he gives them the best chance to win or B. Ownership mandating Mariota has to play out the season in the hopes the light comes on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Vrabel made a quip after the Falcons game along the lines of “well I see there’s no ‘fire the quarterback’ questions this week, so that’s good” - and it just sounded like a defense of Marcus. I really wonder whether it’s a mandate from Strunk or from Robinson or whether it’s Vrabel’s call or just an “organizational decision.” I have no idea. Maybe they promised him a chance to prove himself as starter this year if he stays healthy since his agents were reportedly upset about no contract talks.

Vrabel seemed pretty into Mariota. He said something like, “god love him. He’s just so even keeled. Never gets too low or too high.” I think a hot head like Vrabel appreciates the calm collected sort of mentality. I just hope that isn’t clouding his decision making. Mike-22 was worrying this week that Vrabel might be too much of a players coach. The most recent example being Santos’ 4th FG attempt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would leave us with only Landry, Gilbert, and Correa at OLB. Thinking we may see Evans at OLB in some sets with Woodyard playing at ILB (also his return to Denver). Nah, we were not thin at OLB prior to trading for Gilbert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Titans are the 9th best defense and 27th best offense. Stats alone say they are a slightly better team. Playing at home should help them. When has a football game ever been won with yardage and not points? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jags and Colts games in the first quarter were 2 of the seven wins I had projected, so 5 seems about right to me. Even more so after what I've witness the last five games. What makes it worse is that I don't see us getting completely blown out in most of these losses. Our defense will keep the game within reach in most if not every loss, just making the loss hurt more. I'd feel better about the games if we were just a total all around dumpster fire of a team, but that clearly isn't the case. The team's few weaknesses are being magnified by total ineptitude at the QB position. And a top 5 defense is going to finish with 5-7 wins. I wonder how many times that's happened in the NFL.

No way I see him coaching long under that scenario. Come on. Hes a 2nd year HC and there are only 32 jobs. I dont blame him one bit if that's the case.
