TerryBoats Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 A few years ago, Robinson said that 9-7 wasn't good enough and not a reflection of the talent on the team. If it was true then, why isn't it true now? Yesterday was reminiscent of the Rams game in 2017. We got off to an unexpected start vs a really good NFC team, guys made plays, the players did well by all accounts, yet we lost. A year ago, I had complete confidence that the coaching staff was going to get the most out of the players. This 9-7 is far more underwhelming than that 9-7, assuming we even win the next game. If you look at the other side of the ball, New Orleans doesn't have a world of talent to work with. They just seem to be able to utilize every bit of it that they have on offense. Michael Thomas might be the most underwhelming elite WR that I've ever seen. If we can't win a game like the one yesterday, what quality team can we actually beat? We got out to an early lead, which should have allowed us to be aggressive on defense and simply manage the clock on offense, like last year vs NE. But we lost by double digits? How did that happen? I can't see Robinson being happened with the way things are going. The QB isn't an excuse anymore, and ours is actually playing as well as anyone in the league, yet we still can't get over the 9-7 hump. They are going to do some serious evaluation regarding the coaching positions,because there was no reason that we should have lost yesterday, or come out as flat as we did against Houston. We look exactly like Dallas does. Too much talent is being wasted Bluth, Callidus, and SuperFreak90 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think we played pretty well against one of the NFL's best teams. Adoree, Simmons, Henry, and Humphries sitting out played a big part, but it was probably the right move sitting them.

Popular Post Jonboy Posted December 23, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 The record would be much better if we had been playing the better QB from the start. As for yesterday, we didn't have our best offensive weapon, our stud rookie lineman didn't play, our #2 WR got hurt, our secondary has been decimated by injuries, and we were going up against one of the best offenses in the NFL. Despite it all, we were right there and very likely score a go-ahead TD late if the refs don't miss a blatant defenseless WR call. NO has crazy amounts of talent. They have one of the best QBs of all-time, an offensive mastermind as a head coach, an all around RB, and now the NFL's record holder for catches in a season. Yesterday should've been an encouraging sign, honestly. If the Titans had taken care of business earlier in the year against bad teams then we wouldn't even be in this "win and in" scenario. We'd already be in and playing for a division title. ChesterCopperpot1, tgo, StephenIsLegend, and 13 others 13 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff.Fisher Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think this team wins 12 games next year. Defense started the season alot better than they've played lately. I know the defense has had some key injuries but imo pees is as inconsistent as they come. With that being said, here's hoping they get their shit together and win the super bowl MamlngEnvy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 The most important aspect IMO, is that we can win as a passing team and run the offense through the qb.. I 'd expect further improvement as we get used to this style MadMax, and japan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callidus Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 We have what 6 starters out, a number of other pieces on ir, and lost 2 games because of shit kicking and 2 more that if one play goes the other way we likely win. Not making excuses but that is very close 2 being a 12win team. Oh and we played a qb who wouldn't throw the ball for 6 games. We are much better than our record shows.

Mariota was a problem,but he clearly wasn't the only problem. Look at the QBs with comparable ratings to Tannehill. They are on the best teams in the league. They simply beat other teams. I know that it's the NFL and games often come down to a play or two , but we all have to admit that we were fortunate during several of these wins. If the Centers for TB and KC don't botch a snap, those game likely have a different outcome. If Gordon doesn't fumble, that game likely has a different outcome. A FG block against Indy was the difference maker. Guys are making plays, especially at the most important position. We know that they are going to show up each week and execute whatever they are asked to do. That's where I think the issue is. The plan simply isn't good enough.

reo Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Why are we losing? Both starting CBs out vs one of the best QBs ever. An offense that is predicated on a physical running game and playaction playing w/o your power RB. This isn't hard to figure out. Sidenote: I want to see this offense consistently drive the field before I have too much faith in the team. Big wins from big plays on offense, defense and STs are great but to be consistently good, you've gotta be able to just line up and beat the other team play for play.
