    Everyone wants to bash VY on what happened on yesterday. It's clearly not his fought. Vince, was clearly having a good game till the injury occurred. Now, I don't condone the behavior he displayed when the crowd was booing, nor what he did at the end of the game. Our defense stunk up the entire stadium yesterday. Coutland Finegan getting burned on the deep pass and Chris Hope couldn't tackle my grandmother. We couldn't stop a simple stretch play, and the defense couldn't get a stop on third down. Don't know what to say about our linebackers. We can't cover no Te's. Defensive coordinator called the same blitz the entire game. Not one time they were successful. Not gonna mention the game winning drive the Redskins were so kindly giving by the defense.

    Now, the offensive play calling at times make me wonder what in the hell is he thinking. Offensive play calling is all about calling plays to set up the defense. Don't under stand why Randy was placed in the slot position to create a match up problem for the safety. The offensive line isn't as dominant as last years line.

    The bottom lins is, Tennessee control their own destiny now. We need to go 5-1 the remining six games. If it doesn't happen, we will not make the play offs.

    Putting the soap opera aside, the biggest disappointment yesterday was the defense. Cecil needs to get his stuff together. And the two personal fouls in OT were absolutely unforgivable.

    I do believe the inept play of our defense and incredibly predictable offense is our biggest problem, no matter who is playing QB.

    It feels like the more teams we play in the future can study our games the easier they are able to game plan obvious weaknesses. I cannot understand how we could have been in the top of the league in scoring, defense and sacks yet in the last few games the team looks more like they have no clue.

    Yep. This team has just collapsed, and it's up to Fisher to get them back. I loved Tomlin's response to their embarrassment last week, and his team got it together.

    Not to turn this into a Fisher discussion, because I think it goes beyond just him... but to me it looks like the QB saga has affected the team. Whether that means they feel like Fisher is undermining Vince or just that the instability is a distraction doesn't matter much. They aren't disciplined. They aren't focused. Fisher has to right the ship.

    Chris Hope and his attempt at tackling should be the main story after this game.total disgrace.

    The ease at which our opponents manage 3rd downs so easily, particularly towards TE's is shocking.

    The whole team has completely collapsed.
    After the Eagles game, I was so excited about this year. We still have a chance, not ready for the towel to be chucked in yet.

    Dont know what to think about VY, I'm confussed.

    I agree. I don't know if the little VY docu-drama has caused this, but our D just seems like it has no focus. Too many penalties (stupid ones at that), missed tackles at the line of scrimmage (that we were not missing earlier this year), and our perpetual inability to stop the 10-15 yard passes over the middle (that has been a problem all year).

    One thing is for certain IMO...we will not win more than 2-3 games for the rest of the season if our D does not shape up...now more than ever.

    Agreed....Fisher is stubborn.... he thinks what works in weeks 1-6 will work all year. Somebody should tell him that opposing teams have film and they know how to use it. Or maybe, Fisher was saving everything for the playoffs. Now that the playoffs are out of the question we will see the real game plans. Come to think of it.... the Titans always play better when they are out of the playoff picture.

    Rusty Smith needs to work on his deep ball. The one thing the Titans had going is now a liability. The game plan will have to change now. Unless throwing rainbows was just nerves.
