The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Titans Edition

The ONLY way it's not is if we run the table after losing to the Steelers on Thurs.
Jax, Cincy (without Burrow), Dallas, NYG are still on the schedule plus Cleveland. Theres no reason why the Ravens cant be a 10 win playoff team. That's not to say that they necessarily will, but they still have legitimate opportunities ahead of them.

This is the first time I've said this about the team. So I don't think I'm overreacting. This team is just not constituted of winners with killer instincts. They are just losers unfortunately.

Tenn literally came on the road and to my count had 8, count it 8 people go down in game not to mention the people they were already out pregame and still found a way to win. Defense did not play the second half. Offense, well there were some encouraging things but they showed yet again, they're losers and not winners. It is what it is.

This is Lamar's 3rd year. He's got 2 more years to show that he can be a winner. I believe in him, but we've gotta see it. Let him bet on himself and after his 1st round option season is up, if we're still routinely losing like this, he's not the option and time to move on. I really do believe Lamar will find a way to be a winner. This has just been a tough year for a lot of reasons.
I think we have seen the best Lamar can do last year . That was his chance to win the Super Bowl . I would not renew his contract after 5 years I think it is . This experiment with Lamar is not working and after 3 seasons he still hasn’t comeback to win .

Lamar clearly doesn’t trust anyone but Andrews, and I don’t blame him. Hopefully Dez gives him another target cause Hollywood ain’t cutting it
I'm sick and tired and tired of him. Calling out coaches, but can't make easy catches. Steve Smith used to talk a lot, but he always backed it up.

I said it after we lost in the playoffs to the chargers if Lamar is going to succeed we need to hire a coach that will develop him that he can relate to and grow with. Now for the 3rd year I'm repeating myself again which is very sad cause I was hoping to be proven wrong.

The only short pass Brown gets was negated because our C snapped the ball.

fam the biggest issue I’ve seen this year is discipline from the offense

what took the wind out of their sails was a false start on a QB sneak and then missing a throw on 3rd and 6 and punting

When JH threw that challenge we were 3rd and 1. That's 2 chances at a first down with what I've been told is a first class running game. Why would you argue a foot and losing a TO when you can keep the continuity going and get it on your own after getting two previous 1st downs in that same drive? That's stupid. Get the first down by utilizing your running game. John screwed that up. Which is nothing new - he consistently challenges ball spotting which is the least overturned call in challenges. I guess he still hasn't gotten the memo.


I think you're talking about a later play...

Get a mid round pick, convince Jacksonville to give us Justin Fields in exchange for Lamar. We'll even throw in a couple 4th round picks too. Then bring in Eric Bienemmy from KC.

Another week where stupid, preventable things killed us once again. It wasn't as bad as previous weeks, but these penalties are consistently killing our drives and keeping theirs alive.

Just another ugly game all around.

Lamar wasn't his worst but he wasn't his best either. He has so little help in the passing game right now. Hollywood looks lost. Duvernay didn't really get involved today. Dez did decently although most touches were those quick screens, but at least it's something. Andrews is all he's got right now from a consistency perspective, and even that isn't that great.

The OL held up decently today but it's still not good. I think Bozeman will probably grade out the worst he has this season. Fluker and Holden rotated but it should be the Holden show the rest of the way - Fluker is awful.

I thought the front 7 did alright considering the injuries and who we were facing. Yannick showed up big today. The secondary was trash though. Humphrey and Peters both had rough days. Clark couldn't tackle all day. Elliott can make a big hit but is caught out of position way too much.

It's so frustrating to watch these other young qbs who can make big throws downfield.

But at least Dobbins looks good. Ingram should be nothing more than injury insurance the rest of the way. Let Dobbins be the lead with Edwards there when you need him. I'd even be looking to get Hill more involved at this point. Ingram looks done - no explosion left in those legs.

This was just depressing....hopefully we turn things around. Only teams with winning records left on our schedule is steelers and Browns. 10-6 could get us in the playoffs but I wouldnt feel confident going in.

This one hurts.

Glad we got each other though, thankful for yall and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families

It doesn’t feel like we are using are top guys enough. Dobbins going crazy on the sideline when they sat him to me is proof. He was clearly moving the chains

That's what I'm saying, we are lacking the coaching when it comes to QBs and WRs. Our WRs never develop the way other receivers do around the league. We don't have the coaching for the QB, Flacco was making stupid mistakes that should have never happened if he was coached properly like a Mahomes or Watson. Now Lamar is doing those same mistakes as Joe.
